Gene expression profiling of mouse uterine stromal cells isolated on day 5 of pregnancy
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Our study revealed that hypoxia inducible factor 2 alpha, Hif2 alpha, is a downstream target of estrogen signaling in mouse uterine stroma at the time of implantation. Further, conditional deletion of Hif2 alpha in mouse uterus leads to infertility due to impaired epithelial remodeling at the time of implantation. To identify the downstream targets of Hif2 alpha in the uterus, we performed gene expression profiling of uterine stromal cells isolated from Hif2 alpha-intact and -null mice on day 5 of pregnancy, overlapping the window of implantation. The microarray results revealed altered expression of mRNAs corresponding to factors involved in protein trafficking in uterine stroma of Hif2 alpha-ablated mice. These factors mediate crosstalk between uterine storma and epithelial cells to promote epithelial remodeling and implantation. Thus, Hif2 alpha regulates embryo implantation by controlled trafficking of secretory granules during early pregnancy.
