Project description:The endometrium provides optimal conditions for the transport of sperm to the oviduct, to the site of fertilization, and later on for the reception of the embryo. To study these changes on the level of gene expression, a messenger RNA expression profiling of endometrium tissue samples collected from 19 cyclic heifers at five stages of the estrous cycle (days 0, 3.5, 12, 18, 20) was performed. RNA was extracted from these tissue samples and analyzed with a custom-made bovine oviduct and endometrium (BOE) cDNA array. The cDNAs present on the array were derived from several previously conducted differential gene expression studies of bovine endometrium between different stages of the estrous cycle, during early pregnancy, and from studies of bovine oviduct epithelial cells. In all of these studies cDNAs of differentially expressed genes were identified using a combination of subtracted cDNA libraries and cDNA array hybridization. 1,440 cDNA fragments are located on the array. Twenty radioactively labeled cDNA samples (n=4 for each cycle stage) were hybridized with BOE arrays. Raw data were normalized using the BioConductor package vsn.

Keywords: time course of gene expression in bovine endometrium during estrous cycle Nineteen German Fleckvieh (Simmental) heifers were slaughtered at four different days of the estrous cycle, four animals at day 0, four at day 3.5, three at day 12 and eight animals at day 18. Four of the day 18 animals showed high and the other four low serum progesterone (P4) levels, respectively. This resulted in five groups of endometrial tissue samples corresponding to five stages of the estrous cycle.

Project description:Here we tested the hypothesis that intrauterine infusion of pathogenic bacteria leads to changes in the transcriptome of the reproductive tract in dairy cattle three months later. We used virgin Holstein heifers to avoid the confounding effects of periparturient problems, metabolic stress and lactation. Animals were infused intrauterine with endometrial pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli and Trueperella pyogenes to induce clinical endometritis (n = 4) and compared with control animals (n = 6). Three months after infusion, the caruncular and intercaruncular endometrium, isthmus and ampulla of the oviduct, and granulosa cells from dominant ovarian follicles were profiled by RNA-sequencing. Compared with control, bacterial infusion altered the transcriptome of all the tissues. Most differentially expressed genes were tissue-specific, with 109 differentially expressed genes unique to the caruncular endometrium, 57 in the intercaruncular endometrium, 65 in the isthmus, 298 in the ampulla, and 83 in granulosa cells. Surprisingly, despite infusing the bacteria into the uterus, the granulosa cells had more predicted upstream regulators of differentially expressed genes than all the other tissues combined. In conclusion, there was evidence of long-term changes to the transcriptome of the endometrium, oviduct and even the granulosa cells after intrauterine infusion of pathogenic bacteria, which implies that all these tissues contribute to the infertility that persists after endometritis.

Project description:Although somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) cloning is more efficient in bovine than in all other species tested so far, there is a high rate of pregnancy failure that has been linked to structural and functional abnormalities of the placenta. We tested the hypothesis that these changes may originate from disturbed embryo-maternal interactions in the pre-implantation period. Therefore, we evaluated the transcriptome response of the endometrium to SCNT embryos (produced from five different donor cell cultures) as compared to embryos derived from in vitro fertilization (IVF). SCNT embryos and IVF embryos were cultured under identical conditions to the blastocyst stage (Day 8) and transferred to recipients. The recipients were slaughtered at day 18 of pregnancy and the uterus was recovered. Pregnancy was verified by the presence of at least one normally developed embryo. Transcriptome profiling of endometrium samples using a custom cDNA microarray covering transcripts expressed in the endometrium and/or oviduct epithelium revealed 58 transcripts that were differently abundant between endometrium samples from SCNT vs. IVF pregnancies. Prominent examples are NR2F2 (encoding the orphan nuclear receptor COUP-TFII) and GJA1 (encoding connexin 43). Both transcripts are known to play important roles in placentation and were significantly less abundant in endometrium from SCNT vs. IVF pregnancies. These findings suggest that placental failure in bovine clone pregnancies may originate from abnormal embryo-maternal communication already in the pre- or peri-implantation period. Endometrium transcriptome profiles may serve as a novel readout to evaluate SCNT embryos for their ability to induce pregnancy with a functional placenta. Keywords: response to different embryos

Keywords: response to different embryos Nineteen German Fleckvieh (Simmental) heifers were slaughtered at day 18 of pregnancy. Cycle-synchronized recipient heifers received either IVP or SCNT embryos at day 7 of the estrous cycle. Animals were slaughtered at day 18. Endometrial (intercaruncular) tissue samples were obtained from 10 pregnant animals after transfer of IVP embryos and from 9 pregnant animals after transfer of SCNT embryos.

Project description:To clarify the effect of intrauterine methylglyoxal (MGO) administration on the endometrium, mRNA expression profiles of bovine endometrium were investigated. Hierarchical cluster analysis with the expression levels of all genes was divided these cows into two clusters. First cluster was composed of control cows, second cluster contained MGO (5 mM) treated cows.

Project description:To clarify the regenerative mechanism of endometrium after parturition in cows, mRNA expression profiles in bovine endometrium were investigated during postpartum period. after PVP-I treatment in cows. The differentially expressed genes in the endometrium between postpartum days 49-52 and days 99-101 were 23 genes, and they were much lower than those before postpartum days 49-52. This result suggests that endometrial regeneration after parturition is completely accomplished until postpartum days 49-52.

Project description:In order to clarify whether the term after calving is a factor to affect the gene expression in the endometrium of cows, we conducted global endometrial gene expression analysis at different period after parturition. In bovine endometrium between 60.1 ± 4.0 days and 388.9 ± 8.2 days after parturition, the gene expression pattern was similar and the differentially expressed (>2-fold difference, P<0.05) genes were only 4 genes.
