Ectopic pregnancy occurs when the embryo failed to transits to the uterus and attached to the luminal epithelium of Fallopian tube. Tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a common gynecological emergency and more than 95% of EP occurs in the ampullary region of the Fallopian tube (FT). In humans, Wnt-activation and down-regulation of Olfactomedin-1 (Olfm-1) occur in the receptive endometrium and coincided with embryo implantation in vivo. Whether similar molecular changes happen in the Fallopian tube leading to EP remains unclear. We hypothesized that activation of Wnt-signaling down-regulates Olfm-1 expression predisposes to EP. We investigated the spatiotemporal expression of Olfm-1 in FT from non-pregnant women and women with EP, and used a novel trophoblastic spheroid (embryo surrogate)-Fallopian tube epithelial cell co-culture model (JAr and OE-E6/E7 cells) to study the role of Olfm-1 on spheroids attachment. Olfm-1 mRNA expression in the ampullary region of non-pregnant FT was higher (p<0.05) in the follicular than theluteal phase. Ampullary tubal Olfm-1 expression was lower in FT from women with EP compared to normal controls at the luteal phase (H-SCORE=1.3±0.2 vs 2.4±0.5; p<0.05). Treatment of OE-E6/E7 with recombinant Olfm-1 (0.2-5 μg/ml) suppressed spheroids attachment to OE-E6/E7 cells; while activation of Wnt-signaling pathway by Wnt3a or LiCl, reduced endogenous Olfm-1 expression and increased spheroids attachment. Conversely, suppression of Olfm-1 expression by RNAi increased spheroids attachment to OE-E6/E7 cells. Taken together, Wnt-activation suppresses Olfm-1 expression and this may predispose a favourable microenvironment of the retained embryo in the Fallopian tube leading to EP in humans.
