Dysregulated leukemia inhibitory factor and its receptor regulated signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 pathway: a possible cause for repeated implantation failure in women with dormant genital tuberculosis? Elavarasan Subramani, M.Sc., Ejimedo Madogwe, M.Sc., Chaitali Datta Ray, M.D., Subir Kumar Dutta, M.D., Baidyanath Chakravarty, M.D., Vilceu Bordignon, D.V.M., Ph.D., Raj Duggavathi, D.V.M., Ph.D., Koel Chaudhury, Ph.D. Fertility and Sterility Volume 105, Issue 4, Pages e5 (April 2016) DOI: /j.fertnstert Copyright © 2016 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 (A) A representative western blot image of endometrial tissue samples from women with dormant GTB and controls. Protein levels of LIF, LIFR, STAT3, pSTAT3, VEGF, MUC1, MECA-79, CDH1, ITGAV, and ITGB3 were measured. D = dormant GTB; C = controls. (B) Relative quantification of protein expression against β-actin in dormant GTB cases (n = 38) and controls (n = 30) is expressed as mean ± SEM band intensities. *Indicates statistical significance at P<.001 on comparing dormant GTB cases with controls.

Figure 2 Scanning electron microscope images of pinopodes on the endometrial apical surface of women with dormant GTB and controls during implantation window. (A) Several fully developed pinopodes covering the endometrial surface in controls; (B) poorly developed pinopodes in women with dormant GTB; (C) no/absence of pinopodes in women with dormant GTB; (D) pinopodes score of women with dormant GTB (n = 38) and controls (n = 30) during implantation window.

Figure 3 Effect of HSP65 on hESC decidualization. (A) Fibroblast-like stromal cells appear in the nondecidual hESCs (ND). Fibroblast-like hESCs decidualized with cAMP+MPA as evidenced by the characteristic feature of polygonal shape (DEC). Conversion of fibroblast-like hESCs into decidual cells are affected by HSP65 treatment (DEC+HSP65). Magnification ×100. (B) mRNA fold change of PRL, IGFBP1, LIF, and LIFR in decidualized hESCs (DEC) and HSP65-treated decidualized hESCs (DEC+HSP65) following adjusted to nondecidualized cells (ND). (C) STAT3 phosphorylation in HSP65-treated decidualized hESCs (DEC+HSP65) compared with untreated decidualized cells (DEC) and nondecidualized cells (ND). Data are represented as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. *P<.05 and **P<.001.
