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: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:Our preliminary study revealed that the homeobox transcription factors, Msx1 and Msx2, are expressed in the mouse uterus during early pregnancy. Further, conditional deletion of Msx1 and Msx2 in mouse uterus leads to implantation failure due to impaired uterine epithelial receptivity. To identify the downstream targets of Msx1Msx2 in the uterus, we performed gene expression profling of uterine epithelial cells isolated from Msx1Msx2-null mice and the corresponding controls on day4 of pregnancy (the time of implantation). The microarray results revealed elevated expression of mRNAs corresponding to several Wnts in uterine epithelium of Msx1Msx2-ablated mice.

Project description:Postnatal development of the uterus involves specification of undifferentiated epithelium into uterine-type epithelium. That specification is regulated by stromal-epithelial interactions as well as intrinsic cell-specific transcription factors and gene regulatory networks. This study utilized mouse genetic models of Esr1 deletion, endometrial epithelial organoids (EEO), and organoid-stromal co-cultures to decipher the role of Esr1 in uterine epithelial development. Organoids derived from wild-type (WT) mice developed a normal single layer of columnar epithelium. In contrast, EEO from Esr1 null mice developed a multilayered stratified squamous type of epithelium with basal cells. Co-culturing Esr1 null epithelium with WT uterine stromal fibroblasts inhibited basal cell development. Of note, estrogen treatment of EEO-stromal co-cultures and Esr1 conditional knockout mice increased basal epithelial cell markers. Collectively, these findings suggest that Esr1 regulates uterine epithelium lineage plasticity and homeostasis and loss of ESR1 promotes altered luminal-to-basal differentiation driven by ESR1-mediated paracrine factors from the stroma.

Project description:Embryo implantation into a receptive endometrium is tightly regulated by a variety of maternal factors, including cytokines, growth factors and transcription factors. Previous studies identified the leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF), produced in uterine glands, as an essential factor for implantation. It was shown that LIF acts via its cell surface receptor to activate the transcription factor STAT3 in the uterine epithelial cells. However, the mechanisms via which STAT3 promotes uterine receptivity remain unknown. To address the molecular pathways regulated by STAT3 in the uterus, we created mice in which Stat3 gene is conditionally inactivated in uterine epithelium. These mutant mice are infertile due to implantation failure and exhibit a lack of embryo attachment to the luminal epithelium. Gene expression profiling of the epithelial tissue impaired in STAT3 activation revealed dysregulated expression of specific components of junctional complexes, including E-cadherin, M-NM-2-catenin, and claudins, which critically regulate epithelial cell polarity and embryo attachment. Additionally, mice lacking functional epithelial STAT3 showed markedly reduced stromal proliferation and differentiation, indicating that this transcription factor controls stromal function via a paracrine mechanism. The stromal defect arose from a drastic reduction in the production of several members of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family in luminal epithelium of mutant uteri and consequent lack of activation of EGF receptor signaling and mitotic activity in the stromal cells. Collectively, our results uncovered intricate signaling networks operating downstream of STAT3 in uterine epithelium that regulate epithelial cell polarity, and stromal proliferation and differentiation, which are critical determinants of successful implantation. To identify the downstream targets of STAT3 in mouse uterine epithelial cells during pregnancy, we performed gene expression profling of mouse uterine epithelial cells on day 4 of pregnancy between Stat3 flox control and SW d/d mice. This led to the identification of several junctional molecules (Claudins and Catenins) that are negatively regulated by STAT3 at the time of implantation. Mouse uteirne epithelial cells were isolated from control and knockout mice on the morning of day 4 of pregnancy. (n=3 for each sample), pooled total RNA from these cells was then hybridized to high density affymetrix microarrays according to the Affymetrix protocol (Mouse Genome 430A 2.0 Array) .

Project description:Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family members that regulate the post-implantation and mid-gestation stages of pregnancy. In this study we discovered that signaling via activin-like kinase 3 (ALK3/BMPR1A), a BMP type 1 receptor, is necessary for blastocyst attachment. To understand the role of ALK3 in the luminal uterine epithelium, we obtained the gene expression profiles of isolated luminal uterine epithelium from 3.5dpc control and Alk3 cKO mice.

Project description:Implantation is the attachment of embryo in the endometrium. Failure in implantation is a major cause of early pregnancy loss. During implantation, the temporal uterine lumen closure can help embryo attach to the uterus. In pigs, extending of endometrial folds to form interlocking finger-like projections is a main cause leads to uterine lumen closure during attachment time, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Our data reveal that pig uterine luminal epithelium (LE) migrate in coordinated groups during extending of endometrial folds. Moreover, the MALDI-TOF MS based N-glycomic characterization of porcine endometrium revealed α2,6-linked sialic acid are highly expressed in pig uterine LE during extending of endometrial folds. To investigated the mechanisms by which α2,6-sialylated proteins in formation of the endometrial folding during implantation in pigs, the α2,6-sialylated proteins in pig uterine LE were characterized by proteomic analysis and those proteins that are involved in cell adhesion, such as E-cadherin, were detected. Finally, our in vivo and in vitro data show that α2,6-sialylation of E-cadherin occurs in accompany with collective epithelial migration. The results provide new insight into the mechanism of pig implantation by identifying that α2,6-sialylation of cell adhesion molecules may participate in formation of extending of endometrial folds through promoting of collective migration of uterine LE.

Project description:The secretion of mammalian Wnt Ligands within the cell is dependent on the activity of Porcupine, a gene located on the X chromosome that encodes for a membrane bound o-acyl transferase. Porcupine-dependent Wnt signalling was previously shown to be essential for the post-natal maintenance of endometrial glands, structures that are essential for implantation and fertility. Previous data has implicated the multiple members of the Wnt family expressed in the female uterus to be involved in a coordinated crosstalk between the luminal and stromal compartments of the uterus, ensuring the proper development of the uterus and successful fertility. We have generated a conditional mutant of Porcupine in the luminal epithelium (cKOepi) of the uterus, thus eliminating Wnt7a/b and Wnt11, to address the nature of this crosstalk. Unlike global luminal-stromal mutants, post-natal ablation of Porcupine in the luminal epithelium alone does not affect the maintenance of the endometrial glands in adults. Uterine glands are still visible in the adult cKOepi, albeit in a smaller number than that of control uteri. Despite having uterine glands, cKOepi females remain completely infertile. We have attributed the sterility of these females to be in part due to defects in implantation and decidualization; cKOepi fail to respond to decidual induction by artificial means. Interestingly, progesterone supplementation rescues the observed implantation defects, although observed decidual soon seem to become resorptive. Microarray analysis of cKOepi during implantation has reveals several potential targets for luminal WNT that may be responsible for the observed phenotype including: Lef1, Hoxa10, Wnt4, Wnt16 Notch1, Notch4 and Dll4 .
