Project description:the aim of this present study was to characterize the complex transcriptome changes in different endometrial cell types during the preimplantation period for improving our understanding of localization of endometrial gene expression regulation in context of recognition of pregnancy. To do this analysis in a transcriptome-wide manner, RNA-seq was performed for samples derived from luminal epithelium (LE), glandular epithelium (GE), and stroma (S) isolated by the use of LCM

Project description:We show that the overexpression of N1ICD in the epithelium also results in infertility as a consequence of abnormal differentiation between luminal epithelium (LE) and glandular epithelium (GE), including excessive proliferation in LE and increased response to estrogen in GE. These findings provide insight into the effects of Notch signaling on both types of epithelium.

Project description:The results of endometrial gene expression studies during the time of conceptus migration (Days 8 to 16) did not provide final conclusions on possible mechanisms of maternal recognition of pregnancy (MRP) in the mare. This finding called for the analysis of cell type-specific gene expression in the endometrium in response to the equine embryo, which could be the key for improved understanding of gene expression regulation in context of MRP. In a pilot study, we used laser capture microdissection (LCM) to collect samples of the luminal epithelium (LE), glandular epithelium (GE), and stroma from endometrial biopsies taken from five mares on Day 12 of pregnancy and Day 12 of the estrous cycle, respectively. RNA was isolated from the LCM samples in order to perform RNA sequencing. Data analysis showed that gene expression differences were greater between cell types than between pregnant and cyclic state. Differential gene expression between pregnant and cyclic state was mainly found in the LE but also in GE and stroma. The comparison with a previous RNA-Seq data set for whole biopsy samples derived from Day 12 of pregnancy revealed the specific origin of the observed gene expression differences. Furthermore, we found that a number of genes are specifically differentially expressed (DE) in only one cell type. Some genes not DE when looking at the whole biopsy were DE in one cell type and showed similar levels in the other cell types in comparison of pregnancy and cyclic stage. Overall, this study revealed new and important spatial information about endometrial gene expression during the phase of initial recognition of pregnancy in the mare. The results indicated induction of angiogenesis and blood vessel development by the presence of the conceptus, a specific spatial regulation of the immune system, spatial regulation of growth factors controlling cell differentiation and endometrial remodeling, and regulation of genes involved in production of prostaglandin (PG) precursors, PG transport, and PG receptors, specifically PTGFR in context of prevention of luteolysis. Furthermore, these results support our hypothesis of the existence of a specific response in different endometrial cell types in the mare and call for further studies.

Project description:Laser capture microdissection coupled with microarray genes expression analysis were utilized in order to elucidate the regulatory networks active in epithelial cells of the neonatal and adult mouse uterus. Genes predominantly expressed in the glandular epithelium (GE) in the neonatal or adult uterus were determined by comparing transcripts in the isolated samples of luminal epithelium (LE) and GE from postnatal day (PD) 10, day of psudopregnancy (DOPP) 2.5 or DOPP 3.5 uteri (n=2/cell type/day).

Project description:In this study, whole transcriptome changes induced by P4 were analysed by RNAseq following laser capture microdissection (LCM) of endometrial biopsies to isolate LE, GE and ST cells. The study was performed in cows without any sign of uterine disease (as assessed by uterine cytology). At 45 days postpartum, the presence of a Corpus Luteum (CL) assessed by ultrasonography and plasma P4 concentrations were used to categorise healthy cows at 45 days postpartum determine if cows were in luteal phase (CL, P4 concentrations ≥1 ng/ml; n=4) or not (no CL, P4 concentrations < 1ng/ml; n=9). Overall, endometrial LE, GE, and ST cells shown specific transcriptomic profiles with different proportions and type of genes expressed over 10 tpm. Most of the genes differentially expressed (DEGs) in response to P4 were cell type-specific (93.9%). Genes involved in cell cycle and nuclear division were under-expressed in presence of P4 in GE and LE, highlighting the anti-proliferative action of P4 in epithelial cells. Elevated P4 concentrations were also associated with the under-expression of estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) in GE and of oxytocin receptor (OXTR) in GE and ST. In ST, transcription factors such as SOX17 and FOXA2 , as well as interferon related genes which are known to regulate uterine epithelial–stromal crosstalk conveying to endometrial receptivity for embryo implantation, were over-expressed under P4. The results from this study show that progesterone regulates endometrial function in a cell type specific way, which looks independent of the expression of its main receptor PGR. These novel insights into uterine physiology, stand the cell compartment, rather than the whole tissue, as a physiological unit.

Project description:We used the microarray analysis to determine the differential gene expression profiles in mouse uterine luminal epithelium between preimplantation gestation day 3.5 and postimplantation gestation day 4.5, and investigeate the molecular mechanism of the establishment of uterine receptivity and embryo implantation. Uterine luminal epithelium (LE) is critical for the establishment of uterine receptivity during embryo implantation. Many genes are known to have differential expression in the periimplantation LE but the global profiling of the altered genes in the periimplantation LE is unknown. To fill in this knowledge gap, microarray analysis was performed in gestation day 3.5 (D3.5, preimplantation) and D4.5 (postimplantation) mouse LE from natural pregnancy. There were 382 significantly upregulated and 245 significantly downregulated genes (>2 fold, P<0.05) in the D4.5 LE.

Project description:Implantation is the attachment of embryo in the endometrium. Failure in implantation is a major cause of early pregnancy loss. During implantation, the temporal uterine lumen closure can help embryo attach to the uterus. In pigs, extending of endometrial folds to form interlocking finger-like projections is a main cause leads to uterine lumen closure during attachment time, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Our data reveal that pig uterine luminal epithelium (LE) migrate in coordinated groups during extending of endometrial folds. Moreover, the MALDI-TOF MS based N-glycomic characterization of porcine endometrium revealed α2,6-linked sialic acid are highly expressed in pig uterine LE during extending of endometrial folds. To investigated the mechanisms by which α2,6-sialylated proteins in formation of the endometrial folding during implantation in pigs, the α2,6-sialylated proteins in pig uterine LE were characterized by proteomic analysis and those proteins that are involved in cell adhesion, such as E-cadherin, were detected. Finally, our in vivo and in vitro data show that α2,6-sialylation of E-cadherin occurs in accompany with collective epithelial migration. The results provide new insight into the mechanism of pig implantation by identifying that α2,6-sialylation of cell adhesion molecules may participate in formation of extending of endometrial folds through promoting of collective migration of uterine LE.

Project description:Efforts to unravel the mechanisms underlying taste sensation (gustation) have largely focused on rodents. The first comprehensive database of gene expression in primate (Macaca fascicularis) taste buds is presented. This database provides a foundation for further studies in diverse aspects of taste biology. A taste bud gene expression database was generated using laser capture microdissection (LCM) of tissue freeze medium OTC embedded macaque tongue tissue blocks. We collected fungiform (FG) taste buds at the front of the tongue, circumvallate (CV) taste buds at the back of the tongue, as well as non-gustatory lingual epithelium (LE). Gene expression was also analyzed in the top and bottom portions of CV taste buds collected using LCM. Samples were collected from 10 animals - 7 female, 3 male.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to compare and contrast the expression of mRNA sequences in samples of endometrial glandular epithelium taken at discrete points in the menstrual cycle of healthy female subjects. This study was approved by the Erasme Hospital Ethics Committee and was conducted at the Pfizer Clinical Research Unit at the Erasme hospital, Brussels. The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki on Ethical Principals for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects, adopted by the General Assembly of the World Medical Association (1996). In addition, the study was conducted in accordance with the protocol, the principles of the International Conference on Harmonization guideline on Good Clinical Practice and applicable local regulatory requirements and laws. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants in this study prior to screen. Female healthy subjects were between 20 and 39 years of age and had a regular menstrual cycle. A total of 23 endometrial biopsies were taken from women at different stages of their menstrual cycle (mid & late follicular; early & mid luteal phases) by pipelle catheter. Glandular epithelium was laser capture microdissected and total RNA was purified, labelled and hybridized to Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2 chips using standard protocols. The resulting data were subjected to a principal component analysis and assessment by a proprietary methodology, the causal reasoning engine. Using this analysis we describe new progesterone marker genes and a robust methodology which may be useful for identifying endometrial pharmacological response genes or diagnostic disease markers. A single sample was taken from each of 20 human subjects at time points across the menstrual cycle.
