Reproductive dysfunctions, such as abnormal sexual development, infertility, or irregularities in the reproductive cycle, might be associated with thyroid disorders. Uterine receptivity is the period when the uterus is receptive to the implantation of an embryo. During the receptivity period (implantation window), a newly formed blastocyst is incorporated into the uterine epithelium. Prostaglandins are well-known primary mediators of pathological conditions such as inflammation and cancer but are also essential for the physiology of female reproduction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible relationship between hypothyroidism and changes in the prostaglandin signaling pathways in the uterus and in the process of uterine receptivity in a rat model. The results show that hypothyroidism impaired uterine receptivity by decreasing the level of E2 as well as decreasing the expression of the uterine-receptivity factors homeobox A10 and osteopontin. Moreover, hypothyroidism caused changes in the expression of elements of the prostaglandin E2, F2\u03b1, and I2 signaling pathways and changed the levels of those prostaglandins in the uterine tissue. The results suggest that the mechanisms by which hypothyroidism affects female reproductive abnormalities might involve the prostaglandin signaling pathway, resulting in a subsequent reduction in uterine receptivity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani11092636","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,8]],"date-time":"2021-09-08T10:12:03Z","timestamp":1631095923000},"page":"2636","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Hypothyroidism Affects Uterine Function via the Modulation of Prostaglandin Signaling"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1176-5557","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ilona","family":"Kowalczyk-Zieba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gamete and Embryo Biology, Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, 10-747 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"Staszkiewicz-Chodor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gamete and Embryo Biology, Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, 10-747 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dorota","family":"Boruszewska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gamete and Embryo Biology, Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, 10-747 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Krzysztof","family":"Lukaszuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecological Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical University of Gdansk, 80-210 Gdansk, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The Medical Center of Postgraduate Education, 02-091 Warsaw, Poland"},{"name":"INVICTA Fertility and Reproductive Center, 80-850 Gdansk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"Jaworska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gamete and Embryo Biology, Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, 10-747 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1270-3438","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Izabela","family":"Woclawek-Potocka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gamete and Embryo Biology, Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, 10-747 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"443","article-title":"Thyroid hormone and male gonadal function","volume":"16","author":"Jannini","year":"1995","journal-title":"Endocr.
