Цель. Оценить эффективность программы вспомогательных репродуктивных технологий (ВРТ) с учетом особенностей цитокинового профиля семенной плазмы (СП), поступающей в репродуктивные пути женщин при половых контактах. Материалы и методы. В проспективном исследовании приняли участие 33 супружеские пары, обратившиеся для лечения бесплодия путем экстракорпорального оплодотворения/ИКСИ (ICSI – IntraCytoplasmic Sperm Injection). Пациентам был рекомендован режим половой жизни без ограничения контактов во время лечения, последний половой акт – за 3 дня до предполагаемой трансвагинальной пункции (ТВП). Определение уровня цитокинов [трансформирующий фактор роста b1, интерферон (ИФН)-g, интерлейкин (ИЛ)-33, ИЛ-6, ИЛ-8, ИЛ-23, ИЛ-10, фактор некроза опухоли a, ИЛ-18, ИЛ-17А, ИФН-a, ИЛ-12p, моноцитарный хемотаксический протеин-1) в образцах СП партнеров, полученных в день ТВП, было проведено с помощью мультиплексного анализа с использованием наборов LegendPlex (BioLegend, США). Результаты. При сравнении цитокинового профиля СП между группами с ненаступившей (n=25) и наступившей беременностью (n=8) было выявлено повышенное содержание ИЛ-18 и пониженное содержание ИЛ-10 в СП в группе с наступившей беременностью (p=0,017 и p=0,01 соответственно). Для оценки клинической значимости содержания цитокинов в СП использовалось построение характеристических кривых (Receiver Operating Characteristics – ROC). Установлено, что наибольшую диагностическую значимость имеет определение концентрации ИЛ-18 в СП (площадь под кривой составила 0,792±0,107, чувствительность теста – 62,5%, специфичность – 95,24% при пороговом значении концентрации более 210,43 пг/мл). Частота наступления беременности при концентрации ИЛ-18 выше пороговой составляла 83,3%, в то время как при пониженной концентрации ИЛ-18 наступление беременности наблюдалось лишь у 13,0% женщин. Заключение. Повышенный уровень ИЛ-18 и пониженный уровень ИЛ-10 в СП партнеров пациенток с разрешенной половой жизнью во время лечения бесплодия с помощью ВРТ являются благоприятными факторами для наступления беременности.
Aim. To asses an effectiveness of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) program given characteristics of the cytokine profile of seminal plasma (SP) entering the female reproductive tract during sexual intercourse. Materials and methods. 33 married couples who applied for a treatment of infertility by means of in vitro fertilization /ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) were included in the prospective study. Patients were recommended to have sexual intercourse with no restrictions during treatment and to have the last sexual intercourse 3 days before an intended transvaginal puncture (ITP). Testing of cytokines (transforming growth factor (TGF)-b1, interferon (IFN)-g, interleukin (IL)-33, IL-6, IL-8, IL-23, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a, IL-18, IL- 17A, IFN-a, IL-12, monocyte chemotactic protein-1) levels in samples of partners’ SP obtained on the day having ITP were carried out using multiplex analysis with LegendPlex kits (BioLegend, USA). Results. When comparing a cytokine profile of SP in couples who did not become pregnant (n=25) and couples who become pregnant (n=8) increased IL-18 and reduced IL-10 levels (p=0.017 and p=0.01 respectively) were revealed in the group which got pregnant. To assess a clinical relevance of cytokine content in SP ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristics) curve was used. It was established that determining of IL-18 concentration in SP has the greatest diagnostic significance (the area under a curve was 0.792±0.107, test sensitivity – 62.5%, test specificity – 95.24% at threshold concentration >210.43 pg/ml). Incidence of pregnancy at IL-18 concentration above threshold levels was 83.3% while at lower concentrations of IL-18 pregnancy occurred only in 13.0% of women. Conclusion. Elevated IL-18 levels and decreased IL-10 levels in SP of female patients’ partners who don’t have restriction of sexual life when treating infertility with ART are favorable factors for a pregnancy to occur.
