Project description:Embryo implantation is a complex process which involves biochemical and physiological interactions between an implantation-competent blastocyst and a receptive uterus. However, the exact biochemical changes of uterine fluid, uterus, and plasma during peri-implantation remain unclear. This study aims to characterize the biochemical and metabolic changes that occur during the peri-implantation period of early pregnancy, using mice as an animal model. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to analyze the metabolite profiles of the uterus, uterine fluid, and maternal plasma at pre-implantation and implantation. The multivariate analyses, ANOVA and Tukey's HSD test, were applied to detect significant changes in metabolites and metabolic pathways. The metabolic networks were reconstructed in silico based on the identified metabolites and KEGG metabolic framework. Between pre-implantation day 1 and day 4, dramatic metabolic changes were observed in the uterine fluid that could be important for blastocyst development and protection against the harsh uterine environment. Palmitoleic acid, fumaric acid, and glutaric acid changed levels at day 4 in the uterus, suggesting that they may be associated with endometrial receptivity. Both the uterus and maternal plasma showed profound changes in cellular metabolism at the early implantation period, including upregulation of branched-chain amino acids and intermediates of one-carbon metabolism, an upregulation of glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, and downregulation of aerobic respiration; all of which could be involved in the regulation of the maternal-fetal interface, alternative nutrient utilization, and energy preservation for implantation as well as later placentation and fetal development to ensure successful embryo implantation.

Project description:The aim of this study was to examine differential gene expression profile in mouse uterus on day 5 of pregnancy between implantation sites and inter-implantation sites. There are 104,520 tags sequenced and acquired, 51,306 for non-implantation site, and 53,214 for implantation site. Keywords: Implantation, Uterus, Differential gene expression, Implantation sites and inter-implantation sites were isolated from the mouse uteri on day 5 of pregnancy from at least 20 mice. Implantation sites were identified by tail-vein injection of 0.1 ml of 1% Chicago blue 5 min before sample collection. SAGE analysis was used to examine differential gene expression in mouse uterus during embryo implantation.

Project description:The uterus is transiently receptive for embryo implantation. It remains to be understood why the uterus does not reject semi-allogeneic or allogeneic embryos for implantation. Uterine early response genes at the time approaching embryo attachment may provide insights. Uteri from C57BL/6 pseudo-pregnant (PP) mice and pregnant (P) mice approaching embryo attachment on day 3 post-coitum (D3) @22 h were analyzed for early response genes by microarray. SAM algorithm retained 21,858 unique probesets. Principal component analysis (PCA) indicated a clear separation between the PP and P groups. There were 105 upregulated and 5 downregulated protein-coding genes in the pregnant uterus (fc>1.5 & q-value<5%). Gene ontology (GO) analysis of these upregulated genes revealed that 84% of the GO terms were related to immune responses, with a dominant natural killer (NK) cell activation signature. Among the top 8 upregulated protein-coding genes, Cyp26a1 inactivates retinoic acid (RA) while Lrat promotes vitamin A storage, both of which attenuate RA bioavailability; Atp6v0d2 and Gjb2 play roles in ion transport and transmembrane transport; Gzmb, Gzmc, and Il2rb are involved in immune responses; and Tdo2 is important for kynurenine pathway. Most of these genes or their related pathways have been implicated in immune regulations. RA signaling has been implicated in tolerance and immunity and uterine NK cells have been implicated in immunotolerance at the maternal-fetal interface in the placenta. The mechanisms of immune responses approaching embryo attachment remain to be elucidated. The coordinated effects of the early response genes may hold the keys to the question of why the uterus does not reject an implanting embryo.

Project description:The peripheral circadian oscillator plays an essential role in synchronizing local physiology to operate in a circadian manner via regulation of the expression of clock-controlled genes. In the murine uterus, the endometrial stromal cells undergo proliferation and differentiation into decidual cells in response to ovarian steroids and blastocyst implantation at the early stage of pregnancy. The circadian clock genes are attenuated in the decidualizing cells only 2 days after implantation. The present study aimed to evaluate the circadian rhythms of clock genes and clock-controlled genes expressed in the rat uterus endometrial stromal cells (UESCs) during the stage of implantation. The real-time monitoring system of Per2 promoter activity was employed to precisely evaluate the generation of circadian rhythms in the UESCs prepared from transgenic rats constructed with mouse Per2 promoter-destabilized luciferase reporter gene (Per2-dLuc). During monitoring Per2-dLuc oscillation after synchronization with dexamethasone, total RNA was isolated from the cultured UESCs at four-time points (6-h interval) in the first to second phases and cDNA was synthesized. cRNA was synthesized from the double strand cDNA and hybridized on a DNA microarray. RT-qPCR was performed to confirm the expression of core clock genes revealed by DNA microarray analysis. Several clock genes such as Bmal1, Rev-erbα, and Per2 displayed significant rhythms. Of 12,252 genes showing significantly expression, 7,235 genes displayed significant alterations (p < 0.05). These genes were related to growth factors, transcription factors, receptors, channels, and enzymes. Some candidates as clock-controlled genes were evaluated by using RNA interference to Bmal1 mRNA. Down-regulation of Igf1 gene expression was observed by Bmal1 silencing, whereas the expression of Inhβa, Fas, and Caspase3 were significantly increased. These results indicate that clock-controlled genes are up- or down-regulated in rat UESCs during the stage of decidualization. DNA microarray analysis coupled with RNA interference will be helpful to understand the physiological roles of some oscillating genes in blastocyst implantation and placenta formation. The circadian clock positively or negatively regulates the expression of clock-controlled genes, including growth factors and apoptosis-related factors. To search the clock-controlled genes expressed during the period of implantation, we analyzed the clock genes and clock-controlled genes expressed in cultured uterus endometrial stromal cells prepared from pregnant rats at the stage of implantation using DNA microarray technology. We used transgenic rats constructed with mouse Per2 promoter-destabilized luciferase (Per2-dLuc) reporter gene to precisely adjust the time of gene expression. In addition, several genes of significantly expressed genes including growth factor genes and apoptosis-related genes were analyzed using RNA interference to Bmal1 mRNA whether these were controlled under circadian clockwork.

Project description:Comparison of the gene expression profiles of pre-implantation embryos at day 3.5 post coitum from normal pregnant mice (control); embryos from mice treated with ICI (specific estrogen receptor inhibitor); and embryos in the oviduct that were blocked from entering the uterus by ligation. Results provide insight into the function of estrogen regulated genes and uterine factors involved in the early implantation process. RNA were extracted from 3 groups of 100-120 embryos (a) embryos at d3.5 from uterus of normal pregnant mice; (b) embryos at d3.5 from uterus of ICI treated mice; and (c) embryos at d3.5 from the ligated oviduct.
