Project description:Persistent mating-induced endometritis is a major cause of poor fertility rates in the mare. Endo-metritis can be investigated using an ex vivo equine endometrial explant system which measures uterine inflammation using prostaglandin F2α as a biomarker. However, this model has yet to un-dergo a wide-ranging assessment through transcriptomics. In this study, we assessed the tran-scriptomes of cultured endometrial explants and the optimal temporal window for their use. En-dometrium harvested immediately post-mortem from native pony mares (n=8) were sampled (0 h) and tissue explants were cultured for 24, 48 and 72 h. Tissues were stored in RNA-Later, total RNA was extracted and sequenced. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were defined using DESeq2 (R/Bioconductor). Principal Component Analysis indicated that the greatest changes in expression occurred in the first 24 h of culture when compared to autologous biopsies at 0 h. Fewer DEGs were seen between 24-48 h of culture suggesting the system was more stable than during the first 24 h. No genes were differentially expressed between 48 and 72 h but the low number of background gene expression suggested that explant viability was compromised after 48 h. STRING assessments of gene ontology suggested that DEGs between 24-48 h were linked to inflammation, immune system, cellular processes, environmental information processing and signal transduction. Taken together our observations indicated that 24- 48 h is the optimal temporal window when the explant model can be used. This key observation will facilitate the appropriate use of this as a model for further research into the equine endometrium and potentially the progression of mating-induced endo-metritis to persistent inflammation between 24-48 h.

No genes were differentially expressed between 48 and 72 h but the low number of background gene expression suggested that explant viability was compromised after 48 h. ESR1, MMP9, PTGS2, PMAIP1, TNF, GADD45B and SELE genes were used as biomarkers of endometrial function, cell death and inflammation across tissue culture timepoints. STRING assessments of gene ontology suggested that DEGs between 24 and 48 h were linked to inflammation, immune system, cellular processes, environmental information processing and signal transduction, with an upregulation of most biomarker genes at 24 h. Taken together our observations indicated that 24-48 h is the optimal temporal window when the explant model can be used, as explants restore microcirculation, perform wound healing and tackle inflammation during this period. This key observation will facilitate the appropriate use of this as a model for further research into the equine endometrium and potentially the progression of mating-induced endometritis to persistent inflammation between 24 and 48 h.

Project description:The equine endometrium exhibits characteristic morphological and functional changes during the estrous cycle controlled by the interplay of progesterone and estradiol. A microarray analysis of endometrial tissue samples derived from 5 time points of the estrous cycle (D0, D3, D8, D12, and D16) was performed to study the dynamics of endometrial gene expression. Endometrial biopsies were collected from five mares (Bavarian Warmblood) at the respective time points. Samples were divided and subjected to isolation of RNA for microarray analysis and analysis of tissue composition. Blood samples were collected to determine serum progesterone levels for every sample. Statistical analysis of microarray data revealed almost 10,000 differential probes corresponding to 4,996 differentially expressed genes. A cluster analysis based on gene expression profiles during the estrous cycle revealed 8 major gene expression profiles: mRNAs with highest levels 1) at D0, 2) from D0 to D3, 3) at D3, 4) from D3 to D8, 5) at D8, 6) from D8 to D12, 7) from D12 to D16, and 8) at D16. DAVID Functional Annotation Clustering revealed overrepresentation of distinct functional terms in different phases of the cycle, e.g. M-bM-^@M-^Xextracellular matrixM-bM-^@M-^Y and M-bM-^@M-^Xprotein transportM-bM-^@M-^Y during estrus, M-bM-^@M-^XDNA replication and M-bM-^@M-^Xcell cycleM-bM-^@M-^Y during early luteal phase, M-bM-^@M-^Xendoplasmic reticulumM-bM-^@M-^Y and M-bM-^@M-^Xprotein transportM-bM-^@M-^Y in the luteal phase, and M-bM-^@M-^Xinflammatory responseM-bM-^@M-^Y in the late luteal and follicular phase. Expression of selected genes of the expression clusters was validated by quantitative Real-time PCR (qPCR). This study provides new insights into global changes of equine endometrial gene expression during the estrous cycle. Equine endometrial tissue samples were collected at 5 time points during the sexual (estrous) cycle from 5 mares (5 biological replicates per time point) and analyzed with Agilent microarrays.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age-related degenerative musculoskeletal disease characterised by loss of articular cartilage, synovitis, abnormal bone proliferation and subchondral bone sclerosis. Underlying OA pathogenesis is yet to be fully elucidated with no OA specific biomarkers in clinical use. Ex-vivo equine cartilage explants (n=5) were incubated in TNF-α/IL-1β supplemented culture media for 8 days, with media removed and replaced at 2, 5 and 8 days. Acetonitrile metabolite extractions of 8 day cartilage explants and media samples at all time points underwent 1D 1H nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomic analysis with media samples also undergoing mass spectrometry proteomic analysis. Within the cartilage, metabolites glucose and lysine were elevated following TNF-α/IL-1β treatment whilst adenosine, alanine, betaine, creatine, myo-inositol and uridine levels decreased. Within the culture media, four, four and six differentially abundant metabolites and 154, 138 and 72 differentially abundant proteins, with > 2 fold change, were identified for 1-2 day, 3-5 day and 6-8 day time points respectively. Nine potential novel OA neopeptides were elevated in treated media. Our novel study identified metabolites, proteins and extracellular matrix derived neopeptides which provides insightful information on OA pathogenesis, enabling potential translation for clinical markers and possible novel therapeutic targets.

Project description:In order to systematically analyze the maternal, i.e. the endometrial, changes in the equine endometrium underlying the complex embryo-maternal dialogue during early pregnancy, a transcriptome study of endometrium samples from mares at day 16 of pregnancy and day 12 cyclic mares was performed. Results were compared to a previous study of samples from day 12 of pregnancy and day 12 cyclic controls. Endometrial biopsies were taken from six wormblood mares at day 16 of early pregnancy after embryo recovery and day 12 cyclic controls. 8 samples were analyzed: one pregnant sample and the corresponding control sample of every mare each at a time.
