Despite its effectiveness in inducing ovulation, it is reported to have a low pregnancy rate compared to letrozole. Further, risks of ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, and fetal malformations have been reported in CC-induced fertility treatment cycles. The present study aimed at understanding whether these effects are associated with CC-induced changes in the secretome profile of the human PAX8-positive fallopian tube secretory epithelial cells (hPFTSECs). Fallopian tube tissues from healthy women who underwent postpartum tubectomy were enzymatically dissociated and cultured with CC, and their secretomes were analyzed by Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to identify CC-induced alterations. Proteomic analysis identified a total of 1549 proteins in the secretome pool of hPFTSECs cultured in vitro and 258 proteins were found to be differentially abundant in response to CC. KEGG and REACTOME analysis revealed that the differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) were mainly associated with pathways such as estrogen signaling, cell cycle and DNA damage. Further, candidate proteins associated with ovulation, embryo development, embryo implantation, pregnancy complications, ectopic pregnancy, sperm functions, apoptosis, senescence, and ovarian cancers were identified. CC exposure induced changes in secretome profile of hPFTSECs may affect the female reproductive health by potentially altering the tubal microenvironment.

Currently, about 10% of all women worldwide experience this disease, but scientists have not determined its natural causes. Importantly, the development of endometriosis depends significantly on the dysfunction of the immune system, which results in impaired macrophage activity. Specifically, endometriotic lesions contain M2-like macrophages, supporting tissue reconstruction along new blood vessel formation and evading immune responses. Moreover, the survival of lesions and the processes of neurogenesis and inflammation depend on the actions of macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) as well as cytokines and growth factors. In this context, this review investigates the process of macrophage polarization and details the cellular interactions found in endometriotic tissue environments and their therapeutic capacity. Ultimately, understanding the underlying mechanisms of disease will facilitate the development of immunomodulatory therapies aimed at reducing symptoms and improving clinical outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":20920,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"2065-2079"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144249305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
