NCOA3 knockdown delays human embryo development.

ABSTRACT: Embryonic development is a precisely controlled sequential process influenced by complex external and internal factors; therefore, this process holds paramount significance in the context of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET), with internal oocyte and embryo quality being pivotal in determining its success. Nuclear receptor coactivator 3 (NCOA3), a member of the p160 nuclear receptor coactivators family, has been extensively studied in tumorigenesis and reportedly plays a crucial role in maintaining pluripotency in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, its functions in human embryo development remain largely unexplored. In this study, we collected human samples, including oocytes, zygotes, and embryos, from patients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzho
