Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues lead to pro-inflammatory changes in T lymphocytes.
    American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989), 2016, Volume: 76, Issue:1

    We aimed to investigate the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues on T-cell immunity.. TNF-α(+) -, INF-ɣ(+) -, IL-10(+) -, and IL-17(+) -expressing T cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were treated with various concentrations (0.1, 1, 5, and 10 μm) of GnRH agonist (buserelin acetate) and antagonist (cetrorelix acetate) for 4 hours in vitro and they were analyzed with flow cytometry.. TNF-α(+) /IL-10(+) T helper (TH) cell ratios were increased in PBMCs treated with 1, 5, and 10 μm GnRH agonist when compared to controls (P=.006, P=.014 and P=.030, respectively). IFN-ɣ(+) /IL-10(+) TH cell ratios were significantly increased with 0.1, 1, 5, and 10 μm GnRH agonist as compared with controls (P=.046, P=.004, P=.013, and P=.011, respectively). TNF-α(+) TH cell levels, and IFN-γ(+) /IL-10(+) TH cell ratios were significantly different (P<.001 and P<.004, respectively) between GnRH agonist- and antagonist-treated cells.. GnRH analogues induce pro-inflammatory TH1 shift in T-cell immunity, in vitro. GnRH treatment during assisted reproductive technology cycle might explain a possible cause of inflammatory flare in women with inflammatory conditions.

Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation using multi-dose gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist results in less systemic inflammation than the GnRH-agonist long protocol.
    Gynecological endocrinology : the official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology, 2007, Volume: 23, Issue:8

    The aim of the study was to investigate whether controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) using multi-dose gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist results in a lesser degree of systemic inflammation than the GnRH-agonist long protocol.. Prospective, observational study.. Blood was drawn three times during the COH cycle from patients undergoing the long GnRH-agonist protocol (agonist group) (n = 12) or the multi-dose GnRH-antagonist protocol (antagonist group) (n = 15): the day on which adequate suppression was obtained (agonist group), or day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle and before gonadotropin treatment (antagonist group) (Day-0); the day of or prior to administration of human chorionic gonadotropin (Day-hCG); and the day of ovum pick-up (Day-OPU). Levels of sex steroids and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) were compared between the two study groups among the three time points.. While no between-group differences were observed in patient age or ovarian stimulation characteristics, a significantly higher number of oocytes were retrieved in the antagonist compared with the agonist group. In both groups, serum CRP levels were significantly higher on Day-OPU than on Day-hCG and Day-0. While serum CRP levels were higher on Day-hCG than Day-0, the difference was statistically significant only for the agonist group (p < 0.05). Moreover, Day-OPU serum CRP levels were significantly higher in the agonist than in the antagonist subgroup.. COH using the multi-dose GnRH-antagonist protocol yields a lesser degree of systemic inflammation, as reflected by CRP levels, than the GnRH-agonist long protocol.
