Project description:Uterine glands are essential for pregnancy in mice and likely humans, because they secrete or transport bioactive substances that regulate uterine receptivity for blastocyst implantation. In mice, the uterus becomes receptive to blastocyst implantation on day 4, but is refractory by day 5. Here, blastocysts could be recovered from progesterone-induced uterine gland (PUGKO) but not wildtype (WT) mice on day 5 post-mating. Anti-adhesive Muc1 protein and microvilli were present on the luminal epithelium of PUGKO but not WT uteri. A number of known uterine receptivity genes and gland-specific genes were altered in the PUGKO uterus. Next, the uterus and uterine luminal fluid (ULF) were obtained from WT and PUGKO mice on day 3, 4 and 5. Transcriptome analysis revealed that 580 genes were decreased in the PUGKO uterus, however ULF secrotome analysis revealed that many proteins and several amino acids were increased in the PUGKO ULF. Of note, many proteins encoded by many gland-specific genes were not identified in the ULF of WT mice. These results support the ideas that uterine glands secrete factors that regulate ULF homeostasis and interact with other cell types in the uterus to influence uterine receptivity and blastocyst implantation for the establishment of pregnancy.

Project description:Dairy cow subfertility is a worldwide issue arising from multiple factors. It manifests in >30% early pregnancy losses in seasonal pasture-grazed herds, especially when cows are inseminated in the early post-partum period. Most losses occur before implantation, when embryo growth depends on factors present in maternal tract fluids. Here we used label-free LC-MS/MS to examine the proteomic composition of uterine luminal fluid in 87 day-7 pregnant cows to identify potential biomarkers of fertility. We also determined changes in uterine luminal fluid from first to third oestrus cycles postpartum in individual cows and linked those changes with divergent embryo development. Out of 1563 proteins detected, 472 had not been previously reported in this fluid, and 408 were predicted to be actively secreted by bioinformatic analysis. The abundance of 19 proteins with roles in immune regulation and metabolic function was associated with contrasting embryo quality (e.g. cystatin B, pyruvate kinase M2). Matched-paired pathway analysis indicated that, from first to third oestrus postpartum, upregulation of metabolic (e.g. creatine and carbohydrate) and immune (e.g. complement system regulation and antiviral defence) processes were related to poorer quality embryos in the third oestrus cycle postpartum. Conversely, upregulated signal transduction and protein trafficking appeared related to improved embryo quality in third oestrus. These results advance the characterisation of the molecular environment of bovine uterine luminal fluid and may aid in understanding fertility issues in other mammals, including humans.

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. There are 6 samples. 3 for gestation day 3.5 uterine luminal epithelium, the other 3 for gestation day 4.5 uterine luminal epithelium

Project description:Embryo implantation is a complex process which involves biochemical and physiological interactions between an implantation-competent blastocyst and a receptive uterus. However, the exact biochemical changes of uterine fluid, uterus, and plasma during peri-implantation remain unclear. This study aims to characterize the biochemical and metabolic changes that occur during the peri-implantation period of early pregnancy, using mice as an animal model. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to analyze the metabolite profiles of the uterus, uterine fluid, and maternal plasma at pre-implantation and implantation. The multivariate analyses, ANOVA and Tukey's HSD test, were applied to detect significant changes in metabolites and metabolic pathways. The metabolic networks were reconstructed in silico based on the identified metabolites and KEGG metabolic framework. Between pre-implantation day 1 and day 4, dramatic metabolic changes were observed in the uterine fluid that could be important for blastocyst development and protection against the harsh uterine environment. Palmitoleic acid, fumaric acid, and glutaric acid changed levels at day 4 in the uterus, suggesting that they may be associated with endometrial receptivity. Both the uterus and maternal plasma showed profound changes in cellular metabolism at the early implantation period, including upregulation of branched-chain amino acids and intermediates of one-carbon metabolism, an upregulation of glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, and downregulation of aerobic respiration; all of which could be involved in the regulation of the maternal-fetal interface, alternative nutrient utilization, and energy preservation for implantation as well as later placentation and fetal development to ensure successful embryo implantation.

Project description:Embryo-maternal signaling during the establishment of pregnancy in horses remains one of the biggest mysteries in large animal physiology. Early pregnancy loss represents a major source of economic loss to the breeding industry. This study aimed to investigate the systemic changes associated with early pregnancy by mapping the proteome of blood plasma in commercially bred pregnant (n = 17) and non-pregnant (n = 17) Thoroughbred mares at 14 days after ovulation, using high resolution mass spectrometry. We identified 229 total protein IDs, with 12 increased and 10 decreased significantly in pregnant vs non-pregnant plasma. To gain functional insight, these data were aligned with proteomes of 14-day pregnant mare uterine fluid (n = 4; 1,358 IDs) and conceptus fluid (soluble proteins within the yolk sac fluid; n = 4; 1,152 IDs), and further interrogated using gene ontology databases and pathway analysis. These analyses identified consistent systemic changes in the mare’s proteome that indicate a profound and specific immune response to early pregnancy, which appears to precede the systemic endocrine response to pregnancy. Integrated pathway analysis suggests that embryo-maternal interactions in early pregnancy may mimic elements of the virus-host interaction to modulate the maternal immune response. Transthyretin (TTR) and uteroglobin (SCGB1A1) were respectively down- and up-regulated in plasma while also present in uterine fluid, and are proposed to be key proteins in early pregnancy establishment. These findings contribute significantly to our knowledge of early pregnancy in the mare and identify new avenues for developing clinical approaches to reduce early embryo loss.
