This study found that IL-1β in serum and follicular fluid, and IFN-γ in serum, were associated with successful pregnancy in women undergoing in vitro fertilization.

This study investigated whether immunological markers are associated with successful pregnancy after in vitro fertilization, enrolling 131 women and comparing immunophenotyping markers (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19, CD16/56) and cytokines measured in serum and in follicular aspiration fluid collected during oocyte retrieval. The authors found no significant differences in the lymphocyte subset markers by pregnancy outcome, but IL-1β and IFN-γ differed in serum between women with and without pregnancy, and IL-1β also differed in follicular aspiration fluid. The study’s caveat is that its cross-sectional association design does not establish causality for these cytokines as predictors of outcome. Relevance to endometriosis: the paper is about IVF immunology and cytokines related to pregnancy outcome, but it does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis.

Clinical medicine ASSOCIATION OF IL-1Β AND IFN-Γ AND SUCCESSFUL PREGNANCY IN WOMEN UNDERGOING IN VITRO FERTILIZATION PROCEDURE Published 2023-02-15 Authors: AS A.F. Safarova - Abstract: - In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between immunological markers and a successful pregnancy following an in vitro fertilization procedure. A total of 131 patients were included in the study. They were grouped based on the outcome or parameters of the in vitro fertilization procedure such as successful pregnancy and female infertility. CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19, CD16/56 in the serum and cytokines in the serum and follicular aspiration fluid obtained during the process of oocyte pick-up were measured. There was no significant difference in CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19, CD16/56 levels in patients based on pregnancy outcome. IL-1β and IFN-y measurements were different in serum of patients with pregnancy and without pregnancy (p=0.041 and p=0.037, respectively). IL-1β levels were also different in the follicular aspiration fluid of patients with pregnancy and without pregnancy (p=0.039). Our study suggests an association between some cytokines (IL-1β in serum and follicular liquid) and IFN-γ (in serum)) and successful pregnancy in in vitro fertilization procedure. - Keywords: - pregnancy reproductive technologies immunological markers female infertility - References: - - Amooee S, Davoodi S, Ghasmpour L, Alamdarloo SM, Karimian A, Rahmati J.
