Project description:We use RNA-sequencing to measure global transcription in LH timed endometrial biopsies of 10 women aged ≤ 30 years and 10 women aged ≥ 40 years.
Project description:Endometrial biopsies from tumor (T), adjacent normal (N) and hyperplastic (H) tissue specimens (when available) were obtained by histeroscopy from 10 patients and 3 healty donor. RNA isolated from these samples was used to perform smallRNA-Seq by NGS and gene expression profiling by microarrays in order to identify deregulated Small Non Coding RNAs that could be used as a signaturein the endometrial carcinogenesis process and to evaluate in parallel the target transcriptome disregulation.
Project description:In order to try and identify characteristics of gene expression in the endometrium of women suffering infertility or recurrenty miscarriage, we performed RNAseq on endometrial pipelle biopsies from 20 women. The endometrial transcriptome in the mid-luteal phase of the cycle (window of implantation) is highly divergent in women suffering infertility or miscarriages. 20 mid-luteal endometrial biopsies were analysed from infertile women and patients suffering recurrent pregnancy loss.
Project description:The ESR1 Cistrome in human endometrial biopsies was characterized and compared to gene regulations between the proliferative and mid-secretory pahses to infer estrogen target genes. ESR1 and PGR cistromes and 3D-cjromatin structures in cultured endometrial biopsies were characterized and compared to gene regulations induced by estrogen or progesterone in comparison to the whole endometrium.
Project description:The aberrant gene expression in the uterine endometrium and embryo has been the major causes of pregnancy failure in cattle. Therefore, selecting cows having adequate endometrial receptivity and embryos of better developmental competence based on the gene expression could increase the number of calves produced by in each cow during its productive life time. We used endometrial and embryo biopsy technology in conjunction with the pregnancy outcome information to establish a direct link between the pre-transfer endometrial or in vivo derived embryo gene expression and pregnancy outcome after embryo transfer. Endometrial samples were collected from Simmental heifers at day 7 and 14 of the estrous cycle, one cycle prior to embryo transfer. In the next cycle, embryo biopsies consisting of 60-70% of inner cell mass and trophectoderm were transferred to the recipients at day 7 of the estrous cycle. The remaining 30-40% parts of the embryos were retained for analysis.Pregnancy diagnosis was performed at days 28 and 42 by ultrasonography and at day 56 by rectal palpation. Those heifers returned to heat at day 21 were considered as non pregnant or non receptive endometrium (NP) while those heifers ended up with successful pregnancy and calf delivery was considered as the calf delivery group or receptive endometrium (CD). Following this, the endometrial samples collected during the pre-transfer period and the embryo biopsies retained during embryo transfer were categorized based on the pregnancy outcome. Those endometrial biopsies collected at days 7 and 14 of the estrous cycle from heifers resulted in successful calf delivery were designated as CDd7 and CDd14, respectively and endometrial biopsies taken at days 7 and 14 of the estrous cycle from those subsequently resulted in no pregnancy were designated as NPd7 and NPd14, respectively. Similarly, the embryo biopsies were classified as those embryo biopsies resulted in successful calf delivery and those resulted in no pregnancy

Project description:We present the transcriptome analysis by RNA sequencing of endometrial B cells identifying potential B cell phenotypes and function in human endometrium during the mid-luteal phase. To achieve this, endometrial B cells were isolated from 15 endometrial biopsies, and cDNA library preparation was performed for RNA sequencing.
Project description:A discovery study using RNA-HighSeq from 37 endometrial biopsies was performed to build classifiers that differentiate between control patients and adenomyosis, ovarian endometriosis and deep infiltrating endometriosis. Total RNA was extracted from endometrial biopsies. We found an AUC of 0.97 where the classifier differentiated almost perfectly all three diseases together from the control group when including 11 phenotypic variables of the patients in the classifier.
Project description:We report transcriptomic profiles from endometrial biopsies obtained from infertile women in the late proliferative phase who developed either optimal (≥8mm) or suboptimal (<6mm) endometrial thickness following early follicular phase exposure to 100mg clomiphene citrate for 5 days.
