Granulosa cell gene expression profiling of bovine cohort, dominant and subordinate follicles

ABSTRACT: Bovine granulosa cells harvested from cohort follicles at 1.3 days after wave emergence, and from dominant and subordinate follicles at 2.6 days after wave emergence. Total RNA extracted from granulosa cells of 4 cohort, 4 dominant and 4 subordinate follicles was pooled for generation of each respective SAGE library. Keywords: other

Project description:The main objective of superovulatory treatment is to achieve multiple ovulations and produce multiple embryos. The technique is intended to rescue a cohort of follicles within a follicular wave that would otherwise regress. Superstimulory treatments change the intra-follicular and systemic hormonal milieu, but it is not clear how and to what extent treatment alters gene expression of follicular cells. In this study, a genome-wide bovine oligo-microarray was used to compare the gene expression of granulosa cells from post-LH preovulatory dominant follicle with those from follicles of the same status after superstimulatory treatment. Cows were allocated randomly to two groups (superstimulation group and control group, n=6 cows per group). A new follicular wave was induced by transvaginal ultrasound-guided ablation of follicles ?5 mm in diameter, and a progesterone-releasing device (CIDR) was placed in vagina. The superstimulation group was given eight doses of 25 mg FSH im at 12-h intervals starting from the day of wave emergence (Day 0), whereas the control group was not given any FSH treatment. Both groups were given prostaglandin F2? im twice, 12 h apart, on Day 3 and the CIDR was removed at the second injection; 25 mg pLH was given im 24 h after CIDR removal, and cows were ovariectomized 24 h later. Granulosa cells were collected for RNA extraction, amplification and microarray hybridization. To translate microarray results to a physiological context, a list of differentially expressed transcripts were biologically annotated. A total of 190 genes were down-regulated and 280 genes were up-regulated in superstimulated group when compared with the reference (non-superstimulated control) group. straight comparison of superstimulation group (the treatment; group 1) versus non-superstimulated ( the reference; group 4) using 3 different aninals (biological replicates) in each group and performed dye swap. For example on array 1: group1 cow 1 versus group 4 cow 1 (cy3 vs cy5) and on array 4 is the dey swap group 4 cow 1 versus group 1 cow 1 (cy3 vs cy5).
