Effect of combined administration of electroacupuncture and mesenchymal stem cells on expression of endometrium estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor in thin endometrium rats
Objective To investigate the effect of joint administration of electroacupuncture(EA) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMMSC) on the expression of estrogen receptor(ER) and progesterone receptor(PR) in thin endometrium rats
so as to explore its mechanisms underlying improvement of conception rate. Methods Forty female SD rats were divided into control
model
BMMSC and EA+BMMSC groups. The thin endometrium model was established by intrauterine infusion of 95% ethanol and saline. EA(1 mA
2 Hz/15 Hz) was applied to "Guanyuan"(CV4)
unilateral "Zigong"(EX-CA1) and unila-teral "Sanyinjiao"(SP6) for 15 min
once daily for 10 d. Rats of the BMMSC and EA+BMMSC groups received injection of BMMSC suspension through caudal vein on the day of modeling
the 3
(rd)
day after surgery
and the 2(rd) day after surgery
and the 2
(nd)
and the 3(nd) and the 3
(rd)
estrus phases
respectively. Changes of body weight and estrus phase were continuously recorded. After three estrus cycles
uterine specimens were taken and the uterine coefficient was calculated. The immunoactivity of KI67(an antigen for cell proliferation) was detected by immunohistochemistry
and the expression of ER and PR was detected by Western blot. Results Compared with the control group
the uterine coefficient
and expression of endometrium ER and PR proteins were significantly decreased in the model group(P
<
0.001
P
<
0.01). In Comparison with the model group
the uterine coefficient
immunoactivity of KI67
and expression of ER and PR proteins were significantly increased in both BMMSC and EA+BMMSC groups(P
<
0.000 1
P
<
0.001
P
<
0.01). The expression level of PR in the EA+BMMSC group was notably higher than that in the BMMSC group(P
<
0.05)
but no significant difference was found between the BMMSC and EA+BMMSC groups in the levels of uterine coefficient and ER expression(P
>
0.05). Conclusion EA combined with BMMSC injection has a positive effect in promoting the proliferation of endometrium cells in rats with thin endometrium
which may be related to its effect in up-regulating the expression of ER and PR proteins.
