Project description:The corpus luteum plays a critical role in reproduction because it is the primary source of circulating progesterone. This study aimed to determine the in vitro effect of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) ligands on the transcriptome genes expression in the porcine corpus luteum in the mid- and late-luteal phase of the estrous cycle using RNA-seq technology. The corpus luteum slices were incubated in vitro in the presence of PPARγ agonist – pioglitazone and antagonist—T0070907. We identified 40 differentially expressed genes after pioglitazone treatment and 40 after T0070907 treatment in the mid-luteal phase as well as 26 after pioglitazone and 29 after T0070907 treatment in late-luteal phase of the estrous cycle. In addition, we detected differences in genes expression between the mid- and late-luteal phase without treatment (409). These results should become a basis for further studies explaining the mechanism of PPARγ action in the reproductive system in pigs.

Project description:Although rescue of the corpus luteum is required for pregnancy, luteal function during maternal recognition of pregnancy remains largely unexplored. CL were collected from pregnant cattle on days 14, 17, 20, and 23, to encompass the maternal recognition of pregnancy period. Nanostring technology was used to profile miRNA. A total of 27 miRNA changed. MiRNA that increased were predicted to inhibit phosphatidylinositol signaling, while those that decreased may be negative regulators of steroidogenesis. Overall, these data indicate that there are changes in the CL of pregnancy that are important for continued luteal function.

Project description:Although rescue of the corpus luteum is required for pregnancy, luteal function during maternal recognition of pregnancy remains largely unexplored. CL were collected from pregnant cattle on days 14, 17, 20, and 23, to encompass the maternal recognition of pregnancy period. Next Generation Sequencing was used to profile mRNA abundance during this time, while tandem mass spectrometry and Nanostring technology were used to profile proteins and miRNA, respectively. A total of 1157 mRNA were differentially abundant. mRNA that increased were regulators of interferon signaling and DNA repair, while those that decreased were associated with luteolytic processes, such as calcium signaling and matrix metallopeptidase (MMP) signaling, indicating inhibition of these processes. mRNA that were maximally abundant on day 20 were primarily associated with immune processes. Overall, these data indicate that there are changes in the CL of pregnancy that are important for continued luteal function.

Project description:Luteolysis of the corpus luteum (CL) during non-fertile cycles involves a cessation of progesterone (P4) synthesis (functional regression) and subsequent structural remodeling. The molecular processes responsible for initiation of luteal regression in the primate CL are poorly defined. Therefore, a genomic approach was utilized to systematically identify differentially expressed genes in the rhesus macaque CL during spontaneous luteolysis. CL were collected prior to (days 10-11 post-LH surge, mid-late [ML] stage) or during (days 14-16, late stage) functional regression. Based on P4 levels, late stage CL were subdivided into functional late (FL, serum P4 > 1.5 ng/ml) and functionally-regressed late (FRL, serum P4 < 0.5 ng/ml) groups (n=4 CL/group). Total RNA was isolated, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix genome microarrays that contain elements representing the entire rhesus macaque transcriptome. With the ML stage serving as the baseline, there were 681 differentially expressed transcripts (>2-fold change; p< 0.05) that could be categorized into three primary patterns of expression: 1) increasing from ML through FRL, 2) decreasing from ML through FRL, and 3) increasing ML to FL, followed by a decrease in FRL. Ontology analysis revealed potential mechanisms and pathways associated with functional and/or structural regression of the macaque CL. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to validate microarray expression patterns of 13 genes with the results being consistent between the two methodologies. Protein levels were found to parallel mRNA profiles in 4 of 5 differentially expressed genes analyzed by Western blot. Thus, this database will facilitate the identification of mechanisms involved in primate luteal regression. Keywords: time course plus functional state of corpus luteum

Project description:Corpus luteum (CL) is an ephemeral gland whose main function is to secrete progesterone required for the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. It is very well established that development and maintenance of CL function in primates requires action of luteinizing hormone (LH) but the extent and mechanism by which LH contributes to the maintenance of CL function through out the luteal phase is not known. To study the nuclear actions mediated by LH, we evaluated global genomic changes in CL of monkeys treated with GnRH receptor antagonist to inhibit pituitary LH secretion. Affymetrix microarray analysis was performed on RNA samples from CL obtained from VEH or CET treated monkeys. Results demonstrate that LH regulates expression of a number of genes which might be important for maintenance of CL structure and function. Keywords: CL, LH, CET, gene expression A single s.c. injection of GnRH receptor antagonist, Cetrorelix (CET), administered at a dose of 150 µg/kg BW has been shown to induce luteolysis. For the purpose of microarray analysis, VEH (5.25% glucose) or CET (treatment) was injected to female monkeys on day 7 of luteal phase and CL collected at 24 h post treatment (n=3) was cut into small quarters and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. To minimize between animal variations, CL for both VEH and CET treatments were collected from the same monkeys.

Project description:The absence of luteolytic signal on non-pregnant bitches leads to the existence of a physiological pseudopregnancy maintained by a long lasting luteal function. During the diestrus, hormonal regulation of the canine CL changes. While in later stages prolactin is the main luteotropic hormone, in earlier stages the CL is independent from hypophysary hormones. At this time, prostaglandins are among the main luteotropic factors. In the present project, the aim was to further understand the effects of prostaglandins withdrawal on luteal function. In the present project, next generation sequencing (NGS), RNA-seq, was applied to explore the modulatory role of prostaglandins in the canine corpus luteum (CL) during the first half of diestrus. For this, transcriptome analysis of genes differently expressed in the CL of bitches treated in vivo with a COX2 inhibitor (Previcox, Merial) was performed. Additionally, by using just control samples, effects dependent on time were also explored and used as primary validation of results. Higher represented differentially expressed genes (DEG, p<0.01, FDR<0.1) in mature CL (days 20 and 30) referred to steroidogenesis, while in early CL (days 5 and 10) to proliferation and immune system. Then, treatment effects were investigated at each time point. No gene was concomitantly affected in all investigated groups. Thus, clearly, the effects were dioestrus stage-dependent. Higher numbers of DEG were found on day 20 (n=1741), mainly related to increased immune function, while on day 30 (n=552) they were related to decreased steroidogenesis and vascularization. Low numbers of DEG were found in early CL. Our results suggest the presence of strong compensatory effects in the early CL and multidirectional effects towards luteal gonadotropin-dependency after COX2-inhibition.

Keywords: time course plus functional state of corpus luteum The first experimental factor is the stage of the luteal phase when the CL was collected. There were two stages: 1) between days 10-12 post LH-surge (mid-late stage), and 2) days 14-16 (late stage). The mid-late stage is a transitionary period where CL are still functional (i.e., producing significant quantities of P4) but are nearing the time when luteolysis initiates in non-conception cycles, and the late stage corresponds to the normal period when functional regression (cessation of P4 secretion) occurs in non-conception cycles. The second experimental factor is the functional state of the CL which was determined by measuring serum concentrations of P4 at the time of CL collection. Late stage CL with serum P4 levels > 1.5 ng/ml were considered to be functional, and those with serum P4 < 0.5 ng/ml were considered to have completed functional regression. Measuring mRNA levels in CL collected from these groups provides a comprehensive analysis of the primate transcriptome throughout the normal period of functional regression in the macaque CL. There were 12 biological replicates: n = 4 per group, 3 groups in total. The mid-late CL were used as the baseline reference for gene expression.
