Summary of embryo controlled factors: expression in Tubal ectopic and potential causal effect in the development of tubal ectopic pregnancy.

Factor Expression in tubal ectopic pregnancy Potential effects
Uteroglobin Increased Increased inflammation
Increased receptivity
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) Increased Increased receptivity
Homeobox protein A10 (HOXA10) Increased Increased receptivity
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) Increased Increased angiogenesis at implantation site
Trophinin Increased Increased adhesion leading to increased receptivity
Integrins Increased Increased adhesion leading to increased receptivity
