Abstract

Objective To determine the effect of hydrosalpinx fluid on the expression of HOXA10, an essential regulator of endometrial receptivity.Design In vitro study.Setting Academic medical center.Patient(s) Patients with unilateral or bilateral hydrosalpinx.Intervention(s) Hydrosalpinx fluid was aspirated from 10 patients at laparoscopy. The fluid was serially diluted in minimum essential medium. Ishikawa cells (an endometrial adenocarcinoma cell line, representative of endometrial epithelium) were incubated with this fluid at concentrations of 10% and 50% for 48 hours. Cells were also incubated in undiluted minimum essential medium (MEM) and in 10% serum as controls. After incubation, the cells were lysed in Trizol, and total RNA was extracted and analyzed by Northern blot using a 32P-labeled HOXA10 riboprobe. A 32P-labeled G3PDH probe was used as a control for loading.Main outcome measure(s) HOXA10 mRNA expression.Result(s) HOXA10 mRNA expression in endometrial cells decreased with increasing concentrations of hydrosalpinx fluid. Densitometric analysis of the northern blot revealed that HOXA10 mRNA expression was different from control at both concentrations (P<.007).Conclusion(s) HOXA10 is necessary for implantation in the murine model. HOXA10 expression is diminished by hydrosalpinx fluid. This effect on HOXA10 is a potential molecular mechanism by which implantation rates are diminished in women with hydrosalpinges.

  • Gynecologic conditions other than endometriosis have been shown to influence eutopic endometrial gene and protein expression.

    “In addition to menstrual cycle phase, gynecologic conditions other than endometriosis have been shown to influence eutopic endometrial gene and protein expression.”

  • The endometrial transcriptome in women with endometriosis may have shared patterns of dysregulation with other inflammatory conditions such as hydrosalpinx or other estrogen dependent diseases such as leiomyomata, endometrial polyps, or adenomyosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
