The objective was to determine whether IL-6 supplementation alters gene expression in day-7 in vitro-produced blastocysts. To achieve this, oocytes from prepubertal gilts were matured in IVM medium with or without 100 ng/mL IL-6, fertilized in vitro, and cultured for seven days. Viable blastocysts were collected, flash-frozen, and analyzed using the GeneChip® Porcine Genome Array to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The results revealed significant upregulation of genes involved in lipid metabolism, cell proliferation, immune response, and embryo development in the IL-6 group, highlighting IL-6’s potential to improve oocyte developmental competence through modulation of key biological pathways."],"repository":["biostudies-arrayexpress"],"sample_protocol":["Growth Protocol - Culture of morulae was performed for 24 h in NCSU-23 medium supplemented with 0.3 mg/mL PVA and 100 ng/mL platelet factor-4 under a paraffin oil cover","Sample Treatment - The oocytes from prepubertal gilts were collected and matured in IVM medium either supplemented with 100 ng/mL IL-6 or without supplementation","Labeling - The ds-DNA targets were purified, fragmented and terminally labeled.","Sample Collection - Samples are a pool of 7 viable in vitro produced porcine blastocysts obtained from oocytes matured in vitro in the presence or abscense of interleukin 6.","Scaning - Affymetrix Expression Command Console (Affymetrix.Intensity data from each GeneChip® array were normalized using the robust multiarray mean (RMA) method.","Hybridization - A total of 4.5 µg of the fragmented and biotinylated ds-DNA was incorporated into a hybridization mix from a GeneChip Hybridization, Wash and Stain Kit (P/N 90720; Affymetrix).","Nucleic Acid Extraction - RNeasy Micro Kit (P/N 74004; Qiagen Iberica, Madrid, Spain) was used to extract total RNA."],"figure_sub":["MIAME Score","Raw Data","Organization","Assays and Data","Processed Data","MAGE-TAB Files","Array Designs"],"data_protocol":["Data Transformation - The raw data were transformed using the log2 function and then normalize using quantile methods to derive individual intensity values."],"omics_type":["Unknown","Transcriptomics","Genomics","Proteomics"],"study_type":["transcription profiling by array"],"species":["Sus scrofa"],"pubmed_title":["Exposure of in vitro maturing pig oocytes to exogenous interleukin-6 modulates transcriptome profiles of resulting blastocysts, upregulating developmental signaling pathways"],"pubmed_authors":["Manuela Garcia-Canovas","Manuela Garcia-Canovas, Adelina Lopez-Jara, Inmaculada Parrilla, Alejandro Gonzalez-Plaza, Heriberto Rodriguez-Martinez, Maria A.
