Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of Jiantaiye (JTY) on the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and ER mRNA in uterus of mice with embryo implantation dysfunction.Methods: Embryo implantation dysfunction mouse models were induced with mifepristone and treated with JTY. All animals were sacrificed on day 8 of pregnancy. The endometrial ER and ER mRNA expressions were assessed by immunno-histochemical SP method and semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results: Area ratio and absorbency of ER in the JTY treated group’s gland and stroma were higher than those of the model group, quite similar to those of the normal control’s, and ER mRNA expression in treated group’s uterus was significantly higher than that in the models, but it was not significantly different from the normal control.Conclusion: JTY improves the endometrial development by increasing ER and ER mRNA expressions of uterus of mice with embryo implantation dysfunction.
