Popis: | The high frequency of infertility is a significant medical and social problem in many countries of the world; assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are actively used to solve it. Given that immune responses play an important role in the development and maintenance of pregnancy, the study of changes in immune parameters is relevant in different trimesters of pregnancy, as well as at the stage of preconception preparation. It is believed that the maternal-fetal relationship is not limited to the development of maternal tolerance to fetal antigens, but is complemented by complex cytokine interactions that control selective immune regulation, control of adhesion and vascularization processes during embryo implantation and pregnancy. The purpose of the review was to analyze the available scientific data on the use of immune parameters to predict the effectiveness of ART. A review of Russian and foreign scientific papers on prevalence, immunopathogenetic mechanisms, and infertility diagnostics was carried out. A multi-criteria search was carried out for inventions, abstracts of patent documents on immunological prediction of the effectiveness of ART. As predictors, immunocompetent cells (CD3+-, CD4+-, CD3-CD16+56+-venous blood lymphocytes, CD95+ macrophages of endometrial biopsy), cytokines, pregnancy glycoproteins, autoantibodies, immunogenetic markers are presented. The study of the quantitative level of cytokines in blood serum, ovarian follicular fluid and endometrium as mediators of intercellular and intertissue interactions is of undoubted scientific and practical interest in terms of establishing their discriminatory levels specific to different trimesters of a normal pregnancy, the threat of miscarriage, and infertility. There was an association with non-occurrence of pregnancy due to in vitro fertilization of an increased content of interleukin (IL)-2 and interferon (IFN)-γ in the follicular fluid, and a soluble receptor IL-2-α, IL-8 and lactoferrin in the blood serum. The immunosuppressive effects of pregnancy-associated α2-glycoprotein, trophoblastic β1-glycoprotein, α-fetoprotein, α2-macroglobulin contribute to the development and maintenance of pregnancy, but their prognostic value is not unambiguous. The study of the content of immunoglobulins G to α2-macroglobulin, lactoferrin, progesterone, estradiol, cardiolipin in the follicular fluid and blood serum makes it possible to predict the result of ART. Conclusion. The study of immune parameters, especially in combination with sex hormones and characteristics of the state of the embryo, in infertile women has diagnostic value and prognostic significance, and can contribute to the timely correction of therapy and the ART program. |
