Abstract
- Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) represents a new challenge in the field of assisted reproductive technology (ART). Considering the known effects of immune cell regulation on embryo implantation process, as well as our gene set variation analysis (GSVA) results that suggested the association between RIF and pathways of oxidative stress and immune responses, we hypothesized that oxidative stress- related genes (OSGs) associated with aberrant immunological factor may represent novel biomarkers for unexplained RIF. We therefore screened out the immune cell coexpressed OSGs by performing CIBERSORT, LM22 matrix and Pearson correlation, followed by constructing an OSG signature by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression. Three OSGs (AXL, SLC7A11 and UBQLN1) were then identified to establish a RIF risk signature, which showed high ability to discriminating RIF from fertile control. A nomogram was established, with a free online calculator for easier clinical application. Finally, Chilibot, protein-protein interaction analysis and BioGPS were sequentially applied for the investigation of functional relationships of these three genes with RIF and other OSGs, as well as their expression abundance across different human tissues. In conclusion, we identified an OSG signature that are relevant novel markers for the occurrence of unexplained RIF.
