Endocrine and paracrine correlates of endometrial receptivity to blastocyst implantation in the human.

Synchronous attainment of maternal endometrial receptivity allows implantation-stage adhesive blastocyst to undertake apposition, attachment and invasion. In the present essay, we propose a model according to which luteal phase progesterone induces a basic drive in endometrium toward receptivity and as a result, adequately primed endometrium differentiates through certain steps in a fixed action pattern. The implantation-stage embryo senses such endometrial responsiveness circumstantially by the factors secreted by maternal endometrium and undertakes differentiation to implant by secreting factors which act on maternal endometrial cells to further potentiate them to implantation stage-specific changes. Such a dynamic temporo-spatial manner of interaction involving a set of specific factors acting synchronously leads to the activation of innate releasing process in both compartments towards embryo attachment followed by successful intrusion and controlled invasion of trophoblast cells into maternal endometrium. In the present review we discuss the potential role of various endocrine and paracrine factors in the process of blastocyst implantation in the human.[1]
