Deletion of CSF2RA in the bovine preimplantation embryo reduces development and affects embryonic gene expression in utero


ABSTRACT: The hypothesis that CSF2 plays a role in the preimplantation development of the bovine embryo was tested by evaluating consequences of deletion of CSF2RA (the functional receptor in the embryo) for development of embryos in utero. CRISPR/Cas9 was used to delete exon 5 and intron 5 of CSF2RA on chromosome 3. Control embryos were injected with Cas9 mRNA only. Embryos > 16 cells at day 5 after insemination were transferred to synchronized recipient females in groups of 7 to 24. Embryos were flushed from the uterus two days later. The proportion of recovered embryos that developed to the blastocyst stage was lower for knockout embryos (39%) than for control embryos (63%). RNA sequencing of individual morulae and blastocysts indicated a total of 27 (morula) or 15 (blastocyst) differentially-expressed genes (false discovery rate <0.05). Differentially-expressed genes as well as regulated gene sets identified by gene set enrichment analysis indicated that knockout affected genes playing roles in several functions including cell signaling and glycosylation. It was concluded that signaling through CSF2RA is not obligatory for development of the bovine preimplantation embryo to the blastocyst stage but that CSF2 signaling does enhance the likelihood that the embryo can become a blastocyst and result in specific changes in gene expression.
