Objective To correlate angiotensin II (AngII) receptor expression by granulosa-lutein (GL) cells from gonadotropin-stimulated follicles with infertility diagnosis and IVF parameters. Design The mRNA of angiotensin receptors type 1 (AT1) and type 2 (AT2) was studied in aspirated GL cells. Setting University laboratory and private IVF center. Patient(s) Seventy-three IVF patients. Intervention(s) Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis for relative expression of AT1 and AT2 receptor mRNA in women with no ovarian factor (NOF), poor ovarian reserve (PR), endometriosis (ENDO), and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Main Outcome Measure(s) Expression of AT1 and AT2 receptor mRNA. Result(s) There was a constant ~7:1 ratio between AT1 and AT2 receptors and a negative correlation between the AT1/AT2 ratio and patient age. There were statistically significant differences in AngII receptors in individual conditions: NOF showed a correlation between AT1 and AT2 receptors and a negative correlation between AT1 receptor expression, embryo fragmentation and number of metaphase II (MII) oocytes; PR showed a negative correlation between AT2 receptor expression and number of MII oocytes; PCOS AT1 receptor expression correlated negatively with the units of FSH administered and with patients' age; ENDO showed no significant correlations. Conclusion(s) Mural GL cells express AT1 receptor much more than AT2 receptor. AngII receptor expression varies with age and infertility diagnosis. Low expression of AngII receptors was associated with high-dose stimulation in women with PR. Embryo fragmentation in NOF is associated with decreased AT1 receptor expression, supporting a role for AngII in GL cell apoptosis.
