Transcriptome profile form oviduct samples of endocrine manipulated cows (ampulla)

ABSTRACT: Purpose: evaluate if different proestrus-estrus concentrations of estradiol (E2) and metestrus progesterone (P4) concentrations specifically regulate oviductal gene expression. Methods: ampulla and isthmus samples of animals with a large pre-ovulatory follicle and a large CL (LF/LCL) and animals with a small pre-ovulatory follicle and a small CL (SF/SCL) were collected after slaughter at day four of the estrous cycle. Total RNA was extracted and RNA sequencing was performed using the Illumina HiScanSeq (ampulla samples) and the Illumina HiSeq 2500 (isthmus samples) platforms. Results: After using HTSeq-count, approximately ~60% of the total reads uniquely mapped to the UMD 3.1 reference genome. In the ampulla samples, a total of 692 genes showed differential expression, of which 325 and 367 were up-regulated in the LF-LCL and SF-SCL samples, respectively. In the isthmus samples, a total of 590 genes showed differential expression, of which 274 and 316 were up-regulated in the isthmus of LF/LCL and SF/SCL samples, respectively. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of oviduct transcriptomes, generated by RNA-seq technology. Differential global gene expression profiles identified indicate that the biology of the bovine oviductal tissue is modulated by the periovulatory endocrine milieu. The LF-LCL group transcriptome may potentially reveal molecules associated with higher fertility. Oviductal mRNA profiles of cows with different endocrine milleus were generated by next generation sequencing.

In cattle, molecular control of oviduct receptivity to the embryo is poorly understood. Here, we used a bovine model for receptivity based on size of the pre-ovulatory follicle to compare oviductal global and candidate gene transcript abundance on day 4 of the estrous cycle. Growth of the pre-ovulatory follicle (POF) of Nelore (Bos indicus) cows was manipulated to produce two groups: large POF large corpus luteum (CL) group (LF-LCL; greater receptivity) and small POF-small CL group (SF-SCL).

Project description:Purpouse: Aims of this study were (1) to characterize the endometrial transcriptome, (2) to identify functional pathways, and (3) to molecularly characterize selected pathways overrepresented in the endometrium of day 7 post-ovulation induction of cows treated to ovulate larger versus smaller follicles Methods: Seventy-four multiparous, nonlactating, presynchronized Nelore cows received a progesterone-releasing device and estradiol benzoate on Day–10 (D?10). Animals received cloprostenol (large follicle-large CL group; LF-LCL; N = 35) or not (small follicle-small CL group; SF-SCL; N = 39) on D?10. Progesterone devices were withdrawn and cloprostenol administered 42 to 54 hours (LF-LCL) or 30 to 36 hours (SF-SCL) before GnRH treatment (D0). Tissues were collected at slaughter on D7. Transcriptional profiling of the endometrial tissue was performed by RNA-seq and protein markers for proliferation and apoptosis were identified by immunohistochemistry. Results: Functional enrichment data indicated that LF-LCL endometrium expressed greater abundance of genes associated with biosynthetic and metabolic processes, whereas SF-SCL endometrium .gene expression profile was biased towards cell proliferation. Extracellular matrix-related genes were also upregulated in the SF-SCL endometrium suggesting reorganization of the ECM towards a proliferation permissive phenotype. Immunohistochemistry data confirmed the greater proliferative activity observed in SF-SCL endometrium I comparison to LF-LCL counterparts, and indicated a time-related transition within experimental group. In conclusion, the periovulatory endocrine milieu regulates bovine endometrial gene expression. Furthermore, timing and amplitude of ovarian steroid secretion pattern seem to determine the transition from a proliferation permissive to a biosynthetic and metabolically active endometrial phenotype, which may be associated with the preparation of an optimally receptive uterine environment. Conclusion: the periovulatory endocrine milieu affected D7 endometrial molecular signature. Main pathways affected were related to cell proliferation, ECM composition and remodeling, biosynthetic and metabolic processes. Reported data further suggest that the endometrial tissue from LF-LCL cows experienced an early proliferative phase (D4), whereas the SF-SCL endometrium, exposed to a distinct periovulatory endocrine environment, expressed a delayed onset of the proliferative activity (D7). endometrial mRNA profiles of endocrine manipulated cows were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiScanSQ platform

Project description:Infertility and subfertility represent major problems in domestic animals and humans, and the majority of embryonic loss occurs during the first month of gestation that involves pregnancy recognition and conceptus implantation. The critical genes and physiological pathways in the endometrium that mediate pregnancy establishment and success are not well understood. In Study One, 270 predominantly Angus heifers were classified based on fertility using four rounds of serial embryo transfer (ET) to select animals with intrinsic differences in pregnancy loss. In each round, a single in vitro-produced high-quality embryo was transferred into heifers on day 7 post-estrus and pregnancy was determined on days 28 and 42 by ultrasound and then terminated. Heifers were classified based on pregnancy success as high fertile (HF), subfertile (SF), or infertile (IF). In Study Two, fertility-classified heifers were resynchronized and bred with semen from a single high fertility bull. Blood samples were collected every other day from days 0 to 36 post-mating. Pregnancy rate was determined on day 28 by ultrasound and tended to be higher in HF (70.4%) and SF (46.7%) than IF (0%) heifers. Progesterone concentrations in serum during the first 20 days post-estrus were not different in non-pregnant heifers and also not different in pregnant heifers among fertility groups. In Study Three, a single in vivo-produced embryo was transferred into fertility-classified heifers on day 7 post-estrus. The uteri were flushed on day 14 to recover embryos, and endometrial biopsies were obtained from the ipsilateral uterine horn. Embryo recovery rate and conceptus length and area were not different among the heifer groups. RNA was sequenced from the day 14 endometrial biopsies of pregnant HF, SF and IF heifers (n=5 per group) and analyzed by edgeR robust analysis. There were 26 differentially expressed genes (DEG) in the HF compared to SF endometrium, 12 DEG for SF compared to IF endometrium, and 3 DEG between the HF and IF endometrium. Many of the DEG encoded proteins involved in immune responses and are expressed in B cells. Results indicate that pre-implantation conceptus survival and growth to day 14 is not compromised in SF and IF heifers. Thus, the observed difference in capacity for pregnancy success in these fertility-classified heifers is manifest between days 14 and 28 when pregnancy recognition signaling and conceptus implantation must occur for the establishment of pregnancy. Endometrial biopsies were subjected to RNA sequencing from high fertile (HF; n=5), subfertile (SF; n=5) and infertile (IF; n=5) classified heifers on day 14 of pregnancy.
