Abstract

High endometrial receptivity in the window of implantation (WOI) is essential for successful implantation. However, a diagnostic tool with high specificity for impaired endometrial receptivity remains to be developed. We collected endometrium specimens during the WOI from patients with RIF and women who conceived after one IVF/ICSI attempt. We conducted mRNA microarray on the samples followed by relevant comparative and functional analysis. Microarray analysis revealed 357 dysregulated mRNAs between the two groups. The majority of these mRNAs were found to encode membrane proteins by Gene Ontology (GO) analysis. The major functional biological pathways associated with the down-regulated mRNAs were cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, the p53 signalling pathway and the complement and coagulation cascades. Up-regulated mRNAs were found mainly to participate in pathways such as PPAR signalling, hematopoietic cell lineage, phosphatidylinositol signalling system, ECM-receptor interaction and notch signalling. AQP3, DPP4 and TIMP3 whose expression patterns were down-regulated in RIF patients both by microarray and real-time PCR had a high correspondence with previous studies demonstrating that these genes may contribute to the def...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Blood Coagulation Signaling Pathways

Coagulation is the process by which a blood clot is formed. This process includes both the formation of a platelet plug as well as a cascade of clotting factors resulting in the formation of fibrin strands. Find the latest research on coagulation signaling pathways here.
