Project description:Pregnancy induces changes in the transcriptome of the bovine endometrium from 15 days after insemination. However, pregnancy is less likely to occur if cows had a postpartum bacterial infection of the uterus. We hypothesized that uterine bacterial infection alters the endometrial transcriptomic signature of pregnancy. To examine the endometrial transcriptomic signature of pregnancy, cows were inseminated 130 days after intrauterine infusion of pathogenic bacteria and endometrium was collected 16 days later for RNA sequencing. We found 171 pregnancy regulated genes in cows 146 days after bacterial infection. When comparing our findings with three previous studies that described the endometrial transcriptomic signature of pregnancy in healthy cows, 24 genes were consistently differentially expressed in pregnancy, including MX1, MX2 and STAT1. However, 12 pregnancy regulated genes were only found in the endometrium of healthy cows, including ISG15 and TRANK1. Furthermore, 28 pregnancy regulated genes were only found in the endometrium of cows following bacterial infection and these were associated with altered iNOS, TLR, and IL-7 canonical signaling pathways. Although 94 predicted upstream regulators were conserved amongst the studies, 14 were found only in the endometrium of pregnant healthy cows, and 5 were found only in cows following bacterial infection, including AIRE, NFKBIA, and DUSP1. In conclusion, there were both consistent and discordant features of the endometrial transcriptomic signature of pregnancy 146 days after intrauterine bacterial infusion. These findings imply that there is an essential transcriptomic signature of pregnancy, but that infection induces long term changes in the endometrium that affect the transcriptomic response to pregnancy.

Project description:Purpose: characterize the uterine transcriptome profiles of pregnant (P) versus non-pregnant (NP) cows during early pregnancy and attempted to define a potential set of marker genes that can be valuable for predicting pregnancy outcome. Methods: beef cows were synchronized and artificially inseminated at detected estrus. Six days after AI, jugular blood samples and a biopsy from the uterine horn contralateral to the ovary containing the corpus luteum were collected. Based on pregnancy outcome on day 30, samples were retrospectively allocated to the following groups: Pregnant and Non-Pregnant. Both groups had similar plasma progesterone concentrations on D6. Uterine biopsies were submitted to RNA-Seq analysis in a Illumina HiScanSQ platform. Results: The 272,685,768 million filtered reads were mapped to the Bos taurus reference genome and 14,654 genes were analyzed for differential expression between groups. Transcriptome data showed that 216 genes are differently expressed when comparing NP versus P uterine tissue (Padj≤0.1). More specifically, 36 genes were up-regulated in P cows and 180 are up-regulated in NP cows. Conclusions: this study characterized a unique set of genes, expressed in the uterus on 6 days after insemination, that indicate a receptive state leading to pregnancy success. Furthermore, expression of such genes can be used as potential markers to efficiently predict pregnancy success. endometrial mRNA profiles of pregnant and non-pregnant cows were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiScanSQ platform BioProject PRJNA268916 SRA Study SRP05036

Project description:The objective of this research was to identify a set of genes whose transcript abundance is predictive of a cow’s ability to become pregnant following artificial insemination (AI). Endometrial epithelial cells from the uterine body were collected for RNA sequencing using the cytobrush method from 193 first-service Holstein cows at estrus prior to AI (day 0). A group of 253 first-service cows not used for cytobrush collection were controls. There was no effect of cytobrush collection on pregnancy outcomes at day 30 or 70, or on pregnancy loss between day 30 and 70. There were 2 upregulated and 214 downregulated genes (FDR < 0.05, absolute fold change > 2-fold) for cows pregnant at day 30 versus those that were not pregnant. Functional terms overrepresented in the downregulated genes included those related to immune and inflammatory responses. Machine learning for fertility biomarkers with the R package BORUTA resulted in identification of 57 biomarkers that predicted pregnancy outcome at day 30 with an average accuracy of 77%. Thus, machine learning can identify predictive biomarkers of pregnancy in endometrium with high accuracy. Moreover, sampling of endometrial epithelium using the cytobrush can help understand functional characteristics of the endometrium at AI without compromising cow fertility.

Project description:Most dairy cows suffer uterine microbial contamination postpartum. Persistent endometritis often develops, associated with reduced fertility. We used a model of differential feeding and milking regimes to produce cows in differing negative energy balance (NEB) status in early lactation. We used Affymetrix GeneChipM-CM-^R Bovine Genome Array to investigate the global gene expression underlying negative energy balance and to identify the significantly differentially expressed genes during this process. We investigate the differences of gene expression profiles in uterine endometrial tissues between the cows with mild and severe negative energy balance.

Project description:The aberrant gene expression in the uterine endometrium and embryo has been the major causes of pregnancy failure in cattle. Therefore, selecting cows having adequate endometrial receptivity and embryos of better developmental competence based on the gene expression could increase the number of calves produced by in each cow during its productive life time. We used endometrial and embryo biopsy technology in conjunction with the pregnancy outcome information to establish a direct link between the pre-transfer endometrial or in vivo derived embryo gene expression and pregnancy outcome after embryo transfer. Endometrial samples were collected from Simmental heifers at day 7 and 14 of the estrous cycle, one cycle prior to embryo transfer. In the next cycle, embryo biopsies consisting of 60-70% of inner cell mass and trophectoderm were transferred to the recipients at day 7 of the estrous cycle. The remaining 30-40% parts of the embryos were retained for analysis.Pregnancy diagnosis was performed at days 28 and 42 by ultrasonography and at day 56 by rectal palpation. Those heifers returned to heat at day 21 were considered as non pregnant or non receptive endometrium (NP) while those heifers ended up with successful pregnancy and calf delivery was considered as the calf delivery group or receptive endometrium (CD). Following this, the endometrial samples collected during the pre-transfer period and the embryo biopsies retained during embryo transfer were categorized based on the pregnancy outcome. Those endometrial biopsies collected at days 7 and 14 of the estrous cycle from heifers resulted in successful calf delivery were designated as CDd7 and CDd14, respectively and endometrial biopsies taken at days 7 and 14 of the estrous cycle from those subsequently resulted in no pregnancy were designated as NPd7 and NPd14, respectively. Similarly, the embryo biopsies were classified as those embryo biopsies resulted in successful calf delivery and those resulted in no pregnancy

Project description:The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between progesterone concentration (P4) at day 4 of the estrous cycle (beginning of diestrus) and endometrial global gene expression at day 9 (middle diestrus) in lactating grazing dairy cows. Blood samples were obtained on days 0, 4 and 9 for P4 measurement by chemiluminescence. Cows were asignated to one of the following groups (n=3/group): cows with low physiological P4 at day 4 (PLP4), cows in anestrous (ANE), cows with high physiological P4 at day 4 (HPP4) and superovulated cows (SO). Endometrial biopsy samples were obtained on day 9 for RNA sequencing. Quality control and determination of differentially expressed genes (DEG; FDR<0.05) were determined using the edgeR package for R. The number of DEG between groups were: HPP4 vs LPP4: 453; HPP4 vs ANE: 623; SO vs LPP4: 603; SO vs ANE: 1102; LPP4 vs ANE: 261 and SO vs HPP4: 0. Functional analysis using the DAVID database revealed that endometrial genes upregulated by low P4 are enriched in the immune system and inflammatory response. Conversely, genes upregulated by high P4 are enriched inmodulation of uterine relaxation-contraction, GnRH signaling pathway, focal adhesion and EGF-like related terms. In conclusion, our results support the concept of changes in P4 at the beginning of the luteal phase could be associated with the endometrial expression of critical genes involved in the preparation of the uterine environment for embryo implantation.
