LncRNA Profiling and ceRNA Network Construction of Intrauterine Exosomes in Goats During Embryo Implantation.

ABSTRACT: Exosomes have been shown to play an important role in embryo implantation, but the mechanism is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the functional roles of lncRNAs in intrauterine exosomes in goat pregnancy. We used RNA-seq to identify the lncRNA profiles of exosomes obtained from goat uterine rinsing fluid at 5, 15, and 18 days of gestation. In addition, we performed weighted gene co-expression network analysis based on differentially expressed mRNAs (DEMs) and lncRNAs (DELs). Functional enrichment analyses of gene modules were conducted using Gene Ontology classification (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway. A lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network was constructed based on predictive interaction derived from miRTarBase,
