Abstract (original English)

Aim: Embryo implantation and subsequent pregnancy depends on endometrial thickness. To investigate potential fertility strategies for women with thin endometrium, we explored the efficacy of adipose tissue-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) on thin endometrium and embryo implantation in a mouse model. Materials & methods: ADRCs isolated from mouse subcutaneous fat were characterized by flow cytometry. Endometrium thickness, endometrial fibrosis, embryo implantation and angiogenesis factors were evaluated in uterine cavities of ethanol-induced thin endometrium mice with ADRC transplantation. Results: ADRCs included adipose-derived stem cells and some blood vessel component cells. ADRCs improved endometrial thickness, endometrial fibrosis and embryo implantation and augmented vascular endothelial growth factor expression in the mouse uterine. Conclusion: ADRCs may be a useful therapeutic strategy to improve fertility of women with thin endometrium.
