BACKGROUND:
The sirtuin family is well recognized for its crucial involvement in various cellular processes. Nevertheless, studies on its role in the human endometrium are limited. This study aimed to explore the expression and localization of the sirtuin family in the human endometrium, focusing on sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) and its potential role in the oxidative imbalance of the endometrium in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
METHODS:
Endometrial specimens were collected from both patients with PCOS and controls undergoing hysteroscopy at the Center for Reproductive Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital, from July to August 2015 and used for cell culture. The protective effects of SIRT3 were investigated, and the mechanism of SIRT3 in improving endometrial receptivity of patients with PCOS was determined using various techniques, including cellular bioenergetic analysis, small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) silencing, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry analysis.
RESULTS:
The sirtuin family was widely expressed in the human endometrium, with SIRT3 showing a significant increase in expression in patients with PCOS compared with controls ( P <0.05), as confirmed by protein and gene assays. Concurrently, endometrial antioxidant levels were elevated, while mitochondrial respiratory capacity was reduced, in patients with PCOS ( P <0.05). An endometrial oxidative stress (OS) model revealed that the downregulation of SIRT3 impaired the growth and proliferation status of endometrial cells and reduced their receptivity to day 4 mouse embryos. The results suggested that SIRT3 might be crucial in maintaining normal cellular state by regulating antioxidants, cell proliferation, and apoptosis, thereby contributing to enhanced endometrial receptivity.
CONCLUSIONS
Our findings proposed a significant role of SIRT3 in improving endometrial receptivity in patients with PCOS by alleviating OS and regulating the balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis. Therefore, SIRT3 could be a promising target for predicting and improving endometrial receptivity in this patient population.

Objective:To explore the changes in the functional composition of genital tract microbiota in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and its relationship with cytokines related to immune regulation.Methods:This was a case-control study. The study included patients from the Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking University Third Hospital, enrolled from August 2020 to January 2021. The enrolled patients were divided into control group ( n=20) and the RIF group ( n=15). The study examined the expression of flora and cytokines in vaginal and uterine lavage fluid by 16S rRNA sequencing and MSD electrochemiluminescence. Spearman analysis was used to observe the correlation between flora and differently expressional cytokines. Results:Compared with control group, there were statistically significant differences in the Shannon index of vaginal microbiota and uterine lavage fluid microbiota in the RIF group ( P=0.032, P=0.015). There was a statistically significant difference in β diversity of the bacterial community in uterine lavage fluid ( P=0.020). The expression level of monocyte chemotactic protein-4 (MCP-4) in the RIF group [(3.39±1.23) ng/L] was significantly higher than that in control group [(1.07±0.31) ng/L, P=0.044], while the expression level of interleukin (IL)-17A [(1.12±0.29) ng/L] was significantly lower than that in control group [(2.70±0.52) ng/L, P=0.040]. The expression levels of interferon (IFN)-γ [(4.70±2.10) ng/L], IL-10 [(0.20±0.10) ng/L], tumor necrosis factor-α [(0.84±0.13) ng/L], and IL-5 [(0.35±0.05) ng/L] in the RIF group in the uterine lavage were significantly higher than those in control group [(0.97±0.30) ng/L, P=0.049; (0.05±0.01) ng/L, P=0.009; (0.56±0.07) ng/L, P=0.045; (0.23±0.03) ng/L, P=0.029]. Correlation analysis revealed significant correlations between vaginal flora and MCP-4 ( r=-0.42, P=0.025), and in the microbial community of uterine cavity lavage fluid, there was a significant positive correlation between the Muribaculaceae genus and IL-5 ( r=0.51, P=0.017). Conversely, the Vulcaniibacterium genus, Cupriavidus genus, and Anoxybacillus genus exhibited a significantly negative correlation with IL-5 ( r=-0.55, P=0.010; r=-0.62, P=0.003; r=-0.45, P=0.041). Additionally, the genera Anoxybacillus, Geobacillus, Thermus, and Meiothermus showed a significantly negative correlation with IFN-γ ( r=-0.43, P=0.015; r=-0.38, P=0.035; r=-0.39, P=0.029; r=-0.38, P=0.035). Conclusion:The reproductive tract microbiota and corresponding cytokines in RIF patients are disrupted, and there is a correlation between the microbiota and cytokines.
