Embryonic mortality is considered to be one of the main reasons for reduced conception rates in the cattle industry. Insufficient endometrial receptivity is a major factor resulting in embryo implantation failure and losses. Apoptosis of endometrial epithelial cells is an important process during establishment of uterine receptivity and embryo implantation. The aim of this study was to explore the role of bta-miR-200b on endometrial epithelial cell apoptosis in cattle. Overexpression of bta-miR-200b upregulated the expression of proapoptotic gene BCL2 associated X, apoptosis regulator (BAX) and endometrial receptivity marker gene osteopontin (OPN) at mRNA and protein level in bovine endometrial epithelial cells. Moreover, overexpression of bta-miR-200b was able to inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis of bovine endometrial epithelial cells by arresting the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase. MYB Proto-Oncogene (MYB) was verified to be a target of bta-miR-200b in bovine endometrial epithelial cells using dual-luciferase reporter assay. Transfection of bta-miR-200b mimics decreased the mRNA and protein expression of MYB. Overexpression of MYB decreased the effect of bta-miR-200b on apoptosis of bovine endometrial epithelial cells. Our findings suggest that bta-miR-200b can affect the apoptosis of endometrial epithelial cells in cattle by targeting the MYB gene.

N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD), a synthetic additive widely used in the rubber industry, and its oxidized product 6PPD-quinone (6PPDQ), have garnered widespread attention as an emerging hazardous chemicals owing to their potential detrimental effects on aquatic ecosystem and human health. The effects of 6PPD and 6PPDq on the female reproductive tract, especially embryo implantation, remain unknown and were investigated in this study. We used the spheroid attachment and outgrowth models of BeWo trophoblastic spheroids and Ishikawa cells as surrogates for the human blastocyst and endometrial epithelium, respectively.

Background: The "Healthy China" initiative, along with advancements in technology for cancer diagnosis and treatment, has significantly enhanced outcomes for patients with gynecologic tumors. The trends of late marriage and delayed childbirth have led to an increasing number of women diagnosed with gynecologic cancers who are seeking fertility preservation in China. This issue is critical yet often overlooked in clinical practice.

The disease may manifest itself as dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, sterility and chronic pelvic pain, among other symptoms. Although it is not malignant, it shares some characteristics with cancer and can lead to epithelial ovarian carcinoma.
