Transcriptomic Analysis of STAT1/3 in the Goat Endometrium During Embryo Implantation.

ABSTRACT: Interferon tau (IFNT), a pregnancy recognition signal in ruminants, promotes the establishment of embryo implantation by inducing the expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) via the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway. However, the precise regulatory mechanism of IFNT in goat embryo implantation remains largely unknown. In this study, we performed RNA sequencing of goat endometrial epithelial cells (gEECs) with or without 20 ng/mL IFNT treatment. Differential comparison showed that there were 442 upregulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 510 downregulated DEGs. Bioinformatic analyses revealed that DEGs were significantly enriched in immune-related functions or pathways. The qRT-PCR validation results showed that th
