Abstract
Efficiency of the IVF procedure is assessed not only by the indexes of clinical pregnancy onset but also by the proportion of live births, since about a third of pregnancies end in termination, which certainly depends on many factors. Colony-stimulating factors may be considered potential predictive markers of the induced pregnancy development and resulting into live birth. To evaluate the predictive value of the CSF-1 system (serum CSF-1 concentration and carriage of CSF1R gene polymorphisms) in the setting of live birth after IVF-induced pregnancy in women with tubo-peritoneal infertility. 88 patients undergoing IVF aged between 25 and 40 years were assigned to the following groups: Group I (n = 32): patients whose post-IVF pregnancies resulted in live births at Week 24 or later; and Group II (n = 52) which included patients whose pregnancies did not occur or resulted in spontaneous miscarriages. ELISA testing determined the CSF-1 levels twice: on pre-IVF menstrual cycle (Days 3-4), and on post-embryo-transfer (Day 15). Genotyping of the CSF1R gene rs3216780 and rs38669350 polymorphic markers was performed by PCR with subsequent Sanger sequencing. CSF-1 levels rised to post-embryo-transfer Day 15 (3.9-fold in Group I and 1.8-fold in Group II); the appropriate values in pregnant women of Group II were reliably higher than in comparison group (p = 0.0017). Most women whose pregnancy resulted in live births carried the del/G rs3216780 and TG/CA rs386693509 genotypes of CSF1R gene. Univariate analysis identified the following predictors for completion of induced pregnancy by delivery: (1) CSF-1 levels in peripheral blood from 121.3 to 314.8 pg/mL at the preconceptional stage, and 963.3 to 1682.8 pg/mL on Day 15 after embryo transfer; (2) harboring the del/G rs3216780 genotypes and TG/CA rs386693509 gene CSF1R. In combination. These predictors were observed in 66.7% of women from group I and in 7.7% from group II. The CSF-1 system plays an important role in performance of female reproductive function and the revealed prognostic indicators, i.e., pre-conception and post-ET Day 15 serum CSF-1 concentrations, and carriage of the following CSF1R gene variants: del/G rs3216780 and TG/CA rs386693509 genotypes which can be used as predictors of the completion of induced pregnancy by childbirth.
