Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the Cited-1 and HIF-1α immune activity in granulosa cells in follicular development in patients who underwent IVF for infertility.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 40 patients who were admitted to the
assisted reproductive program with the complaint of infertility at the Gazi Yaşargil Training and Research Hospital Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic IVF center between January 2022 and November 2022 and had primary or secondary infertility while starting the Ovum-Pick-Up (OPU) procedure. The fluid containing the granulosa cells was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 min. The samples were fixed and processed for routine paraffine wax tissue embedding protocol. Sections were taken from paraffin blocks and immune stained with Cited-1 and HIF-1α. The preparations were examined under the microscope.
Results: HIF-1α expression was positive in membrane of granulosa cells. The nuclei were apoptotic and pyknotic. Cited1 expression was positive in membrane of granulosa cells. the cells were pyknotic.
Conclusion: The high level of HIF-1α immunopositivity and negative Cited1 immunoreactivity in the immunohistochemical staining after the granulosa cells around the oocytes collected from female patients admitted to the IVF clinic and diagnosed with infertility showed that granulosa cell viability may be important on oocyte quality.
