Project description:PurposeThe receptive endometrium is critical for blastocyst implantation. In mice, after blastocysts enter the uterine cavities on day 4 of pregnancy (day 1 = vaginal plug), blastocyst attachment is completed within 24 h, accompanied by dynamic interactions between the uterine luminal epithelium and the blastocysts. Any failures in this process compromise subsequent pregnancy outcomes. Here, we performed comprehensive analyses of gene expression at the luminal epithelium in the peri-implantation period.MethodsRNA-seq combined with laser microdissection (LMD) was used to reveal unique gene expression kinetics in the epithelium.ResultsWe found that the prereceptive epithelium on day 3 specifically expresses cell cycle-related genes. In addition, days 3 and 4 epithelia express glutathione pathway-related genes, which are protective against oxidative stresses. In contrast, day 5 epithelium expresses genes involved in glycolysis and the regulation of cell proliferation. The genes highly expressed on days 3 and 4 compared to day 5 are related to progesterone receptor signaling, and the genes highly expressed on day 5 compared to days 3 and 4 are associated with the ones regulated by H3K27me3.ConclusionsThese results suggest that specific gene expression patterns govern uterine functions during early pregnancy, contributing to implantation success.

Project description:Uterine glands are essential for pregnancy in mice and likely humans, because they secrete or transport bioactive substances that regulate uterine receptivity for blastocyst implantation. In mice, the uterus becomes receptive to blastocyst implantation on day 4, but is refractory by day 5. Here, blastocysts could be recovered from progesterone-induced uterine gland (PUGKO) but not wildtype (WT) mice on day 5 post-mating. Anti-adhesive Muc1 protein and microvilli were present on the luminal epithelium of PUGKO but not WT uteri. A number of known uterine receptivity genes and gland-specific genes were altered in the PUGKO uterus. Next, the uterus and uterine luminal fluid (ULF) were obtained from WT and PUGKO mice on day 3, 4 and 5. Transcriptome analysis revealed that 580 genes were decreased in the PUGKO uterus, however ULF secrotome analysis revealed that many proteins and several amino acids were increased in the PUGKO ULF. Of note, many proteins encoded by many gland-specific genes were not identified in the ULF of WT mice. These results support the ideas that uterine glands secrete factors that regulate ULF homeostasis and interact with other cell types in the uterus to influence uterine receptivity and blastocyst implantation for the establishment of pregnancy.

Project description:We used the microarray analysis to determine the differential gene expression profiles in mouse uterine luminal epithelium between preimplantation gestation day 3.5 and postimplantation gestation day 4.5, and investigeate the molecular mechanism of the establishment of uterine receptivity and embryo implantation. Uterine luminal epithelium (LE) is critical for the establishment of uterine receptivity during embryo implantation. Many genes are known to have differential expression in the periimplantation LE but the global profiling of the altered genes in the periimplantation LE is unknown. To fill in this knowledge gap, microarray analysis was performed in gestation day 3.5 (D3.5, preimplantation) and D4.5 (postimplantation) mouse LE from natural pregnancy. There were 382 significantly upregulated and 245 significantly downregulated genes (>2 fold, P<0.05) in the D4.5 LE. There are 6 samples. 3 for gestation day 3.5 uterine luminal epithelium, the other 3 for gestation day 4.5 uterine luminal epithelium

Project description:RNA-seq analysis of uterine luminal epithelium at D4.5 indicates that epithelial PGRA and PGRB shares conseved pathways. Constitutive epithelial PGRA and PGRB disrupts the embryo implantation both through the suppressed FOXO1 signaling by excluding FOXO1 from the nuclear at the uterine epithelium. There are three layers of regulation. Firstly, PGRA and PGRB diminishes Lif transcription in uterine glands by blocking ESR1 binding at the Lif promoter at D3.5 which is critical for the FOXO1 nuclear expression at D4.5 through LIF/pSTAT3/FOXO1. Secondly, PGRA and PGRB directly suppres Foxo1 transcription at the uterine epithelium probably through direct binding at Foxo1 promoter. Thirdly, PGRA and PGRB promotes the Sgk1 transcription, the kinases that phosphorylate FOXO1 to translocate it into cytoplasma for degradation.

Project description:Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family members that regulate the post-implantation and mid-gestation stages of pregnancy. In this study we discovered that signaling via activin-like kinase 3 (ALK3/BMPR1A), a BMP type 1 receptor, is necessary for blastocyst attachment. To understand the role of ALK3 in the luminal uterine epithelium, we obtained the gene expression profiles of isolated luminal uterine epithelium from 3.5dpc control and Alk3 cKO mice.
