“…The expression levels AQP3 and AQP4 were upregulated in Ishikawa cells after the co-culture but not in HEC-1-A. Increased expression of AQP3 has been associated with both epithelial cell migration and endometrial receptivity [53], Genes in the intersection PBK PIM1, PLK1, PLK2, PSRC1, PTTG1, RASSF2, RASSF4, SPC24, SPC25, TACC3, TRIP13, TTK, TUBB4A, TUBG2, TXNIP, USH1C, VRK1 Sterol biosynthetic process 50 7 0.04 FDFT1, FDPS, HMGCS1, IDI1, INSIG1, MSMO1, while deficiency of AQP4 leads to female subfertility in mice [54]. Other genes upregulated in Ishikawa cells upon trophoblast challenge were desmin (DES), adrenomedullin (ADM), and intermidin (ADM2).…”
