Currently, recurrent implantation failure (RIF) after in vitro fertilization is a problem that is commonly faced by reproductive specialists. The phenomenon of a thin endometrium in RIF patients is not yet completely understood or sufficiently treated. This study aimed to reveal the dysregulated expression of selected genes between RIF patients with a thin endometrium and fertile women. Endometrial samples were collected in the implantation window (21–24 days of the natural menstrual cycle) from RIF patients (n = 20) and fertile women (n = 14). Ten genes were chosen as target genes regarding their possible relations with the implantation process. The endometrial gene expression levels showed differences in RIF samples compared to fertile samples. Significant downregulation was observed for the CXCL1 (p = 0.005) and C4BPA (p = 0.03) genes. There was no statistically significant difference between the RIF group and the fertile group in the expression of eight genes: CXCL8, HPRT1, MMP10, INFG, VEGFB, HAND2, IL-15, and TNC (p > 0.05). The use of a combination of two markers (C4BPA + CXCL1) allows for the good discrimination of RIF patients from fertile women (AUC 0.806).

Reproductive disorders are common events in modern reproductive medicine, occurring both in spontaneous and assisted pregnancies. Studies on the molecular mechanisms of implantation disorders in thin endometria, including the study of gene transcriptional activities, have shed light on the identification of the potential biological markers of endometrial receptivity. Background/Objectives: The goal of this study was to reveal the significantly dysregulated selected gene expressions between RIF and RPL patients with thin endometria. Methods: Endometrial samples were collected from RIF patients (n = 20) and RPL patients (n = 19) during the implantation window days (LH + 7—LH + 10) of their natural menstrual cycles. Ten genes were chosen as the target genes regarding their possible relations with the implantation process. The total RNA was purified and reverse-transcribed, and gene expressions were quantified by RT-PCR. Results: The expressions of the IL-15, INFG, and HPRT1 genes were significantly decreased in the RIF patients with thin endometria compared to the RPL patients (log₂ fold change = 0.92, p = 0.023 for IL-15; log₂ fold change = 1.24, p = 0.046 for INFG; and log₂ fold change = 0.579, p = 0.046 for HPRT1). There were no significant differences in the expressions of the CXCL8, CXCL1, MMP10, C4BPA, TNC, VEGFB, and HAND2 genes between the groups. Conclusions: Decreased expressions of the IL-15, INFG, and HPRT1 genes were found in patients with RIF with thin endometria compared to the endometria of women with RPL. This has practical significance for clinicians for the differentiated prescription of immunomodulatory therapy in patients undergoing ART programs.

Nowadays recurrent implantation failure (RIF) after invitro fertilization is common problem that reproductive specialists usually faced. The phenomenon of thin endometrium in RIF patients has yet not completely understood and properly treated. This study aimed to reveal significantly dysregulated selected genes expression between RIF patients with thin endometrium and fertile women. Endometrial samples were collected in the implantation window days (LH+7 – LH+10) of the natural menstrual cycle from RIF patients (n=20) and fertile women (n=14). Ten genes were chosen as target genes regarding their possible relations with the implantation process. Endometrial gene expression levels showed differences in RIF samples compared to fertile samples. The significant downregulation was observed for CXCL1 (p=0.005) and C4BPA (p=0.03) genes. There was no statistically significant difference between the RIF groups and the fertile group in the expression of 8 genes: CXCL8, HPRT1, MMP10, INFG, VEGFB, HAND2, IL15 and TNC (p>0.05). The use of a combination of two markers (C4BPA + CXCL1) allows for good discrimination of RIF patients from fertile women (AUC 0.806).
