Project description:Asynchrony of trophectoderm elongation, gestational days 11-12, is evident in porcine concepti and, rapid progression through this phase has been associated with conceptus competency. The goal of the current study was to determine the extent of transcriptomic responses of concepti to developmental delay and their physiological implications. Concepti with the same morphology, ovoid and 7-8 mm, were isolated and designated as normal or developmentally delayed if collected from a homogenous ovoid conceptus population or a heterogeneous conceptus population (ovoid to filamentous), respectively. Total RNA prepared from 4 distinct normal and 4 distinct developmentally delayed concepti, was analyzed using an Agilent high-density custom porcine microarray. Two hundred-nine transcripts were found differentially expressed between normal and developmentally delayed concepti. Functional analysis of these genes indicated that a significant number of the genes regulate signal transduction/transcription, organismal development, metabolism, and cell adhesion and can be modulated by transforming growth factor β1. Ten genes were selected for real-time PCR validation of differential expression based on a known role in steroid synthesis, endometrium receptivity, and modulation of trophoblast differentiation/growth or interaction with transforming growth factor β1. As in the microarray, all except one, achaete-scute complex homolog 2, were preferentially up-regulated in delayed concepti. Overall, the findings suggested that developmentally delayed concepti are distinct from their morphologically similar counterparts and more developmentally advanced concepti. Furthermore, it also highlighted ways by which the conceptus’ microenvironment might be affected and pinpointed developmental factors that can be interrogated further to determine if, and how, they affect embryo competency/elongation.

Project description:Production of embryos in vitro has enormous potential for research and commercial applications. Unfortunately, in vitro production of porcine embryos is extremely inefficient. Despite the characterization of distinct phenotypes, little is known about the molecular mechanisms and altered physiological processes that account for poor IVP development. The objective of the current study was to compare global gene expression patterns from IVO and IVP embryos using small amplified RNA (SAR)-SAGE. Whole-cell RNA from pools of Day 6 in vivo-(IVO) and in vitro-produced (IVP) blastocysts was used to construct SAR-SAGE libraries. Sequence analysis of the IVO and IVP libraries yielded a total of 98,771 and 98,408 tags, respectively. A total of 20,029 and 23,453 unique putative transcripts were detected in the IVO and IVP libraries, respectively. Statistical analyses of SAGE tag frequencies between the IVO and IVP libraries indicated that 938 and 193 tags were differentially expressed at a P < 0.05 and P < 0.001 level of significance, respectively. Tentative annotation of the differentially expressed SAGE tags was determined using BLAST sequence alignment with the TIGR porcine specific gene index (SSGI) and cross-species alignment using RepeatMasker to determine homologous human orthologs. Annotated tags were categorized into functional groupings according to gene ontology annotations. Real-time PCR was used to confirm differential expression for several transcripts from IVO and IVP blastocysts. These results demonstrate compromised gene expression from IVP blastocysts compared with IVO blastocysts for a number of biological processes including cellular metabolism, organization and response to stress; thereby providing potential target pathways for improvement of IVP methods.

Project description:Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as new players in the fine tuning of embryo development and implantation in mammals via posttranscriptional gene regulation mechanisms. Applying custom made multispecies arrays we aimed to analyze expression profile of microRNAs in peri-implantation porcine conceptuses/trophoblasts to identify their potential role at the maternal-fetal interface during the critical period of maternal recognition of pregnancy and implantation.

Applying custom made multispecies arrays we aimed to analyze expression profile of microRNAs in peri-implantation porcine conceptuses/trophoblasts to identify their potential role at the maternal-fetal interface during the critical period of maternal recognition of pregnancy and implantation. miRNA expression profiles were analyzed in samples collected from embryos or trophoblast on Days 10, 11, 12, 16 and 20 of pregnancy. Each group was represented by five to nine samples.

Project description:The porcine conceptus undergoes rapid differentiation and expansion of its trophoblastic membranes between Days 11 and 12 of gestation. Concomitant with trophoblast elongation, production of conceptus estrogen, the porcine embryonic pregnancy recognition signal increases. Conceptus attachment to the uterine surface epithelium starts after Day 13 initiating epitheliochorial placentation. To analyze the transcriptome changes in the endometrium in the course of maternal recognition of pregnancy (MRP), deep sequencing of endometrial RNA samples of Day 12 pregnant animals (n=4) and corresponding non-pregnant controls (n=4) was performed using Illumina RNA-Seq. Between 30 and 35 million sequence reads per sample were produced and mapped to the porcine genome (Sscrofa10.2). Analysis of read counts revealed 2,593 differentially expressed genes (DEG). Expression of selected genes was validated by the use of quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Bioinformatics analysis identified several functional terms specifically overrepresented for up-regulated or down-regulated genes. Comparison of the RNA-Seq data from Days 12 and 14 of pregnancy was performed at the level of all expressed genes, of the DEG, and at the level of functional categories. This revealed specific gene expression patterns, reflecting the different functions of the endometrium during these stages, i.e. recognition of pregnancy and preparation for conceptus attachment. Genes related to mitosis, immune response, epithelial cell differentiation and development, proteolysis, and prostaglandin signaling and metabolism are discussed in detail. In conclusion, this study identified comprehensive transcriptome changes in porcine endometrium associated with MRP and initiation of implantation and a number of genes and pathways potentially involved in regulation of these processes.

Project description:In pigs, the peri-implantation period is recognized as determinant of successful reproduction, and it is controlled by neuroendocrinal interactions among signals originating from the female hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, uterus, and developing embryo. The transcriptomic activity of the pituitary gland may influence reproductive processes occurring in pigs during the peri-implantation period. The aim of this study was to determine alternations in gene expression in the porcine pituitary gland during the peri-implantation period (days 15-16 of pregnancy) in comparison with that during the respective days of the estrous cycle using a microarray approach.

Project description:Endometrial receptivity plays a vital role in the success of embryo implantation. However, the temporal proteomic profile of porcine endometrium during embryo implantation is still unclear. In this study, the expression of proteins in endometrium on days 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 18 of pregnancy (D9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 18) was profiled via iTRAQ technology. The results showed that 25, 55, 103, 91, 100, 120, 149 proteins were up-regulated, and 24, 70, 169, 159, 164, 161, 198 proteins were down-regulated in porcine endometrium on D10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 18 compared with that on D9, respectively. Among these differentially expressed (DE) proteins, MQM results indicated that S100A9, S100A12, HRG and IFI6 were differentially expressed in endometrial tissues during embryo implantation period. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the proteins differentially expressed in the 8 comparisons (D10 vs D9, D11 vs D9, D12 vs D9, D13 vs D9, D14 vs D9, D15 vs D9 and D18 vs D9) were involved in important processes and pathways related to immunization, endometrial remodeling, which have a vital effect on embryonic implantation. Our results reveal that RBP4 could regulate the cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis of endometrial epithelial cells and endometrial stromal cells to affect embryo implantation. This research also provides resources for studies of proteins in endometrium during early pregnancy.
