OBJECTIVE: To detect immunoreactivity to cotinine protein, a major metabolite of nicotine, in granulosa-lutein cells from patients exposed to cigarette smoke, as measured by levels of cotinine in follicular fluid (FF) samples.
DESIGN: Controlled immunocytochemical study.
SETTING: Hospital IVF-ET program treating infertile patients.
PATIENT(S): Twenty-eight women classified by self-reported smoking habits: active smokers (n = 17), passive smokers (n = 4), and nonsmokers (n = 7).
INTERVENTION(S): Ovarian hyperstimulation.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Grades of immunostaining intensity were assessed in granulosa-lutein cells. Patient scores of cell immunostaining were calculated and regressed on levels of FF cotinine.
RESULT(S): Cotinine levels in FF were higher in active smokers than in passive smokers or nonsmokers. Cotinine immunostaining was visualized in the nucleus and cytoplasm of granulosa-lutein cells. Mean grades and mean scores of immunostaining intensity were higher in active smokers than in passive smokers or nonsmokers. There was a strong positive correlation between scores of cell immunostaining and FF cotinine levels.
CONCLUSION(S): The association between cotinine expression in granulosa-lutein cells and FF cotinine provides reliable evidence for a dose-related effect. This constituent of cigarette smoke appears to interact directly with and incorporate into these ovarian cells. Our approach seems useful for monitoring ovarian exposure to environmental toxins.
