In Vitro Human Endometrial Cells and In Vivo Rat Model Studies Suggest That Ulipristal Acetate Impacts Endometrial Compatibility for Embryo Implantation
Background
Ulipristal acetate (UPA) and levonorgestrel are used as emergency hormonal contraceptives. Although both are highly effective in preventing pregnancy, UPA shows efficacy even when taken up to 120 h after unprotected sexual intercourse.
Aims
To investigate whether the mechanism of UPA's contraceptive action involves post-fertilization effects.
Methods
In vitro and in vivo studies using cultured human endometrial cells and a pre-clinical rat model.
Results
Endometrial cells treated with UPA showed changes in the expression of receptivity gene markers and a significant decrease in trophoblast spheroids attached to the cultured cells. In addition, administration of UPA to female unmated rats decreased the expression of implantation-related genes in the endometrium and inhibited the number of implantation sites in the mated group compared to the non-treated group.
Conclusions
These results support that UPA as an emergency contraceptive might have post-fertilization effects that may affect embryo implantation.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Medical Research serves as a platform for publishing original peer-reviewed medical research, aiming to bridge gaps created by medical specialization. The journal covers three main categories - biomedical, clinical, and epidemiological contributions, along with review articles and preliminary communications. With an international scope, it presents the study of diseases from diverse perspectives, offering the medical community original investigations ranging from molecular biology to clinical epidemiology in a single publication.
