Maternal tract distinguish between spermatozoa and other pathogenic and non-pathogenic entities

ABSTRACT: The mammalian oviduct is a dynamic organ and the venue of important events leading to the establishment of pregnancy. Oviductal epithelial cells are involved in direct contact and specific interactions with different self and non-self entities (oocyte, sperm, etc.).The aim of this study was to determine if the oviduct is able to distinguish between different types of non-self-entities. We used an in vitro model to determine genes altered in oviductal epithelial cell (OPEC) in response to the presence of spermatozoa, mammalian somatic cells (red blood cell) or bacteria. We hypothesised that alteration of OPEC expression profile in response to boar spermatozoa (friendly non-self entity), red blood cells (non-pathogenic, non-self entity) and bacteria (pathogenic non-self entity) is indicative of recognition of self and non-self entities by these cells as well as recognition of pathogenic from non-pathogenic non-self entities. Oviductal epithelial cells (OPEC) were co-incubated in the presence of (i) bacteria (1 x 10˄8 bacteria), (ii) sperm (1 X 10 ˄ 6 spermatozoa/ml) or (iii) red blood cell (5 x 10 ˄ 6 red blood cell/ml) for 24 hours in HAM-12 media. Three biological replicates were performed for each group and a total of 12 Affymetrix Porcine arrays were used to identify the expression profiles of OPEC alone (3 arrays) or in the presence of (i) bacteria (3 arrays), (ii) sperm (3 arrays) or (iii) red blood cells (3 arrays).

Oviductal transcriptome is modified after insemination during spontaneous ovulation in the sow

Project description:Gene Expression Microarray technology was used to compare oviduct transcriptome between inseminated and non-inseminated pigs during spontaneous oestrus. We used an in vivo model approaching the study from a physiological point of view in which no hormonal treatment (animals were in natural oestrus) and no artificial sperm selection (selection was performed within the female genital) were imposed. It is therefore emphasised that no surgical introduction of spermatozoa and no insemination at a site other than the physiological one were used. This approach revealed 17 genes that were two-fold or more up-regulated in oviducts exposed to spermatozoa and/or developing embryos and 9 genes that were two-fold or more down-regulated. These changes would indicate a modification of the environment preparing the oviduct for a successful fertilization and for an adequate embryo early development. The objective of this study was to investigate differences in oviductal transcriptome between inseminated and non-inseminated pigs during spontaneous oestrus in a specific area of the oviduct (ampullary-isthmic junction). We decided to analyse this specific part of the oviduct where spermatozoa released from sperm reservoir arrive close to the time of ovulation because it is where fertilization and zygote formation occurs. We used 5 artificially inseminated and 5 non-inseminated pigs during spontaneous oestrus. Inseminations were performed with seminal doses at a concentration of 3 x 107 spermatozoa/ml. Complete oviductal tissue samples from the ampullary-isthmic junction (sample size >1cm including the end of the ampulla) were taken from each animal and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen for mRNA extraction.

Mating and sperm free seminal plasma changes gene expression in the oviductal sperm reservoirs of sows

Project description:Sperms being foreign to the female are to be promptly eliminated by the female local immune defense. However, avoiding the local immune defense sperm can be stored for lenthy period in the oviductal sperm reservoir. It is currently unknown whether oviductal sperm reservoirs changes their gene expression to tolerate the spermatozoa after mating or sperm free seminal plasma infusion. Therefore this was tested using Swedish Landrace pigs in this study using cDNA microarray. We used 12 sows seperated into three groups- either oestrus sows were inseminated with 50 ml BTS (control, n=4) or mated with boars (treatment 1, n=4) or inseminated with sperm-free seminal plasma (treatment 2, n=4). The utero-tubal junction was retrieved within 24 h of treatment by operation.

PAX2-null progenitors define multiple lineages with common expression signatures in benign and neoplastic oviductal epithelium

Project description:The oviducts contain high grade serous cancer precursors, which are M-NM-3-H2AXp and p53 mutation positive. Secretory cell outgrowths (SCOUTs) are associated with older age and serous cancer. We evaluated PAX2 expression in proliferating oviductal cells, normal mucosa, SCOUTs, Walthard cell nests, STINs and HGSCs. Non-ciliated cells in normal mucosa were PAX2 positive but became PAX2 negative in multilayered epithelium. PAX2 negative SCOUTs fell into two groups; Type I were secretory or secretory/ciliated with a M-bM-^@M-^\tubalM-bM-^@M-^] phenotype and were ALDH1 negative. Type II displayed a columnar to pseudostratified phenotype, with an EZH2,ALDH1, M-NM-2-catenin, Stathmin, LEF1, RCN1 and RUNX2 expression signature . This study, for the first time, links PAX2 negative with proliferating fetal and adult oviductal cells undergoing basal and ciliated differentiation and shows that this expression state is maintained in SCOUTs, STINs and HGSCs. All three entities can demonstrate a consistent perturbation of genes involved in potential tumor suppressor gene silencing (EZH2), transcriptional regulation (LEF1), regulation of differentiation (RUNX2) calcium binding (RCN1) and oncogenesis (Stathmin). This shared expression signature between benign and neoplastic entities links normal progenitor cell expansion to abnormal and neoplastic outgrowth in the oviduct and exposes a common pathway that could be a target of early prevention. 17 total samples are analyzed. 4 for TYPE 1 SCOUTs, 3 for TYPE 2 SCOUTs, 7 for paired normal epithelium, 3 for tumor

PAX2-null progenitors define multiple lineages with common expression signatures in benign and neoplastic oviductal epithelium

Project description:The oviducts contain high grade serous cancer precursors, which are γ-H2AXp and p53 mutation positive. Secretory cell outgrowths (SCOUTs) are associated with older age and serous cancer. We evaluated PAX2 expression in proliferating oviductal cells, normal mucosa, SCOUTs, Walthard cell nests, STINs and HGSCs. Non-ciliated cells in normal mucosa were PAX2 positive but became PAX2 negative in multilayered epithelium. PAX2 negative SCOUTs fell into two groups; Type I were secretory or secretory/ciliated with a “tubal” phenotype and were ALDH1 negative. Type II displayed a columnar to pseudostratified phenotype, with an EZH2,ALDH1, β-catenin, Stathmin, LEF1, RCN1 and RUNX2 expression signature . This study, for the first time, links PAX2 negative with proliferating fetal and adult oviductal cells undergoing basal and ciliated differentiation and shows that this expression state is maintained in SCOUTs, STINs and HGSCs.
