The semaphorins are related to angiogenesis and cell proliferation depending on the tissue. The purpose of this study was to assess gene expression of class 3 semaphorin (SEMA3A-F) and protein expression of semaphorin 3A (SEMA3A) within human endometrium throughout the menstrual cycle.Gene expression of SEMA3A-F was analyzed by real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and protein expression of SEMA3A was analyzed by ELISA in endometrial biopsies in the proliferative and secretory phase of the menstrual cycle.Gene expression of SEMA3A, SEMA3C, SEMA3D, and SEMA3E was statistically significant decreased in secretory compared to proliferative phase endometrium (p < 0.05). Accordingly, SEMA3A protein expression in the secretory phase was lower than protein expression in proliferative phase endometrium (p 0.05).SEMA3A, 3C, 3D, and 3E are possibly related to cell proliferation in the endometrium, being more expressed in the proliferative phase of the cycle. This finding may stimulate studies of class 3 semaphorins as a possible target for treatment of endometrial pathologies.
