Time Course of Endometrium's Gene Expression Profiles Using Endometrial Tissue and Blood Samples

January 15, 2025 updated by: Inti Labs

Time Course of Endometrium's Gene Expression and DNA Methylation Profiles Using Endometrial Tissue and Blood Samples

This study aims to investigate whether the expression levels of microRNA (miRNA) in endometrial tissue and blood samples at various time points after ovulation can serve as biomarkers for assessing endometrial receptivity.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: P+3
Women who get their blood drawn and endometrial tissue biopsy taken at 3 days after progesterone administration starts.
Genetic: Small RNA sequencing
The blood and endometrial tissue samples collected from the study groups will undergo small RNA sequencing to investigate the microRNA expression profiles associated with that phase.
Other: P+4
Women who get their blood drawn and endometrial tissue biopsy taken at 4 days after progesterone administration starts.
Genetic: Small RNA sequencing
The blood and endometrial tissue samples collected from the study groups will undergo small RNA sequencing to investigate the microRNA expression profiles associated with that phase.
Other: P+5
Women who get their blood drawn and endometrial tissue biopsy taken at 5 days after progesterone administration starts.
Genetic: Small RNA sequencing
The blood and endometrial tissue samples collected from the study groups will undergo small RNA sequencing to investigate the microRNA expression profiles associated with that phase.
Other: P+6
Women who get their blood drawn and endometrial tissue biopsy taken at 6 days after progesterone administration starts.
Genetic: Small RNA sequencing
The blood and endometrial tissue samples collected from the study groups will undergo small RNA sequencing to investigate the microRNA expression profiles associated with that phase.
Other: P+7
Women who get their blood drawn and endometrial tissue biopsy taken at 7 days after progesterone administration starts.
Genetic: Small RNA sequencing
The blood and endometrial tissue samples collected from the study groups will undergo small RNA sequencing to investigate the microRNA expression profiles associated with that phase.
