Project description:Endometrial remodeling is required for implantation in all mammalian species. To identify the factors that promote cell proliferation at the implantation site were explored in bovine endometrium and extra-embryonic membrane during the peri-implantation period. Microarray analysis showed that the expression levels of various trophoblast specific genes were higher in the extra-embryonic membrane at gravid horn than in the extra-embryonic membrane at non-gravid horn namely, CSH1, PRPs, PAGs, AIF, Muc-1, etc. Furthermore, EGFR, INHBA and INHBB expression were higher in endometrium of gravid horn. Gene expression profiles were analyzed in the gravid and non-gravid extra-embryonic membrane and endometrium at around Day 30 of gestation
