Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier Inc. Although effective contraceptives are crucial for preventing unintended pregnancies, evidence suggests that their use may perturb the female genital tract (FGT). A comparative analysis of the effects of the most common contraceptives on the FGT have not been evaluated in a randomized clinical trial setting. Here, we evaluated the effect of three long-acting contraceptive methods: depot medroxyprogesterone acetate(DMPA-IM), levonorgestrel(LNG) implant, and a copper intrauterine device (Cu-IUD), on the endocervical host transcriptome in 188 women from the Evidence for Contraceptive Options and HIV Outcomes Trial (ECHO) trial. Cu-IUD usage showed the most extensive transcriptomic changes, and was associated with inflammatory and anti-viral host responses. DMPA-IM usage was enriched for pathways associated with T cell responses. LNG implant had the mildest effect on endocervical gene expression, and was associated with growth factor signaling. These data provide a mechanistic basis for the diverse influence that varying contraceptives have on the FGT |
