Project description:To identify potential regulators of late pregnancy-dependent thyroid weight increase, thyroid gene expression profiles of non-pregnant (NP) and late pregnant (LP, day 18) rats was analyzed using the RNA-seq approach.

Project description:The heart of late pregnant (LP) rodents is more prone to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury compared to non-pregnant rodents. We hypothesized that Intralipid (ITLD) protects the heart in LP rodents against I/R injury. We performed genome-wide expression profiling to identify the underlying mechanisms.

Project description:The heart of late pregnant (LP) rodents is more prone to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury compared to non-pregnant rodents. We hypothesized that Intralipid (ITLD) protects the heart in LP rodents against I/R injury. We performed genome-wide expression profiling to identify the underlying mechanisms. Female LP rat hearts were subjected to ischemia followed by reperfusion with vehicle or ITLD (one bolus of 5mg/kg).

Project description:Gene differential expression in different pregnant periods and different tissues are detected. Sow ovary and myometrium were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. 9 pigs were divided into three time-points groups: non-pregnant (NP, n=3), early pregnant (EP, n=3), and late pregnant (LP, n=3). The differentially expressed genes in each group were identified.

Project description:Thyroid disorders are relatively frequently observed in pregnant women. However, the impact of pregnancy on maternal thyroid has not been systematically evaluated. In the present study, using the rat as an animal model, we observed that the weight of maternal thyroid increased by about 18% in late pregnancy. To gain an insight into the molecular mechanisms, we took advantage of RNA-seq approaches to investigate global gene expression changes in the maternal thyroid. We identified a total of 615 differentially expressed genes, most of which (558 genes or 90.7%) were up-regulated in late pregnancy compared to the non-pregnant control. Gene ontology analysis showed that genes involved in cell cycle and metabolism were significantly enriched among up-regulated genes. Unexpectedly, pathway analysis revealed that expression levels for key components of the thyroid hormone synthesis pathway were not significantly altered. In addition, by examining of the promoter regions of up-regulated genes, we identified MAZ (MYC-associated zinc finger protein) and TFCP2 (transcription factor CP2) as two causal transcription factors. Our study contributes to an increase in the knowledge on the maternal thyroid adaptation to pregnancy.

Project description:Comparative analysis of mouse cardiac left ventricle gene expression: voluntary wheel exercise and pregnancy-induced cardiac hypertrophy We performed microarray analysis on RNA from left ventricles of mice in non-pregnant diestrus cycle, mid-pregnancy (MP), late-pregnancy (LP), and immediate post-partum (0PP). These were compared to 7days (7EX) and 21 days (21EX) of voluntary wheel running exercise.

Project description:Purpose: Perform RNA-seq study on bovine endometrial tissues during the peri-implantation period (Day16-17 of gestation) to reveal important genes and biological pathways required for conceptus growth and development Methods:RNA sequencing was done using Illumina NextSeq500. Single-end reads in the FASTQ format were explored using FastQC, low-quality reads were trimmed from both 3’ and 5’ ends until a base pair of Phred quality score of 30 (99.9% accurate) or greater was not found, reads having a mean quality score less than 30 and length below 30 nucleotides were filtered out. Cleaned reads were aligned against the bovine reference genome (Bos_taurus.ARS-UCD1.2) using HiSAT2. The resulting SAM files were sorted, converted to BAM files using SAMtools. Read counts mapped to bovine gene models were generated using htseq-count script from HTSeq package. Bioconductor DESeq2 was used to get the differentially expressed genes among pregnant vs. non-pregnant (P vs. NP), pregnant vs. cyclic (P vs. C), and non-pregnant vs. cyclic (NP vs. C) groups. Conclusions: The study demonstrated that the presence of conceptus at Day 15-17 of gestation affects the endometrial gene expression related to endometrial remodeling, immune response, nutrients and ion transporters, and relevant signaling pathways in the caruncular region of bovine endometrium during the maternal recognition of pregnancy.

Project description:The human uterus undergoes profound physiological tissue remodelling during pregnancy. In the myometrium, altered gene expression must underlie these extensive molecular and structural changes. The purpose of this study was to compare expression profiles of pregnant and non-pregnant myometrium, in order to identify genes that participate in this process. mRNA from 14 non-pregnant and four pregnant human myometrial samples were analysed using a human UniGEM V microarray with 7075 cDNA elements. A total of 602 transcripts from the microarray were up-regulated >=2.0-fold in pregnant myometrium, with 37 transcripts up-regulated >=4.0-fold. In contrast, eight transcripts were down-regulated >=2.0-fold in pregnancy. To ensure accurate representation of differential gene expression, Northern blot analyses using total RNA from 16 samples of non-pregnant and pregnant myometrium were used to examine mRNA levels for four of the genes that were differentially expressed by microarray analysis, namely plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1), milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 protein (MFGE8), secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (sFRP4) and estrogen receptor {alpha} (ER{alpha}). On the microarray these transcripts were up-regulated 7.5-fold for PAI-1 and 4.9-fold for MFGE8 in pregnant myometrium, and down-regulated 3.7-fold for sFRP4 and 2.9-fold for ER{alpha} in pregnancy. Northern blot analyses confirmed these changes. Our findings suggest that microarray technology is a useful tool for examining global changes in gene expression that occur as the myometrium differentiates from non-pregnant to pregnant status. Defining these changes provides new insight into the structural and functional adaptations of human myometrium during pregnancy. Keywords: other

Project description:Gestational protein restriction is a model for low birth size. We hypothesized that taurine supplementation would protect against changes in newborn liver and muscle caused by a maternal low protein diet. Pregnant mouse dams were subjected to different diet schemes from day 1 of pregnancy until birth. Pups were killed following birth and liver and hindleg skeletal muscle taken out and frozen at -80C until analysis. Diet schemes: Normal Protein (20% casein; NP), Normal Protein + taurine (1% taurine supplementation in water ad libitum; NP+tau), Low Protein (8% casein; LP) and LP+tau The liver and muscle samples were normalized separately.

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of administration of carbon black nanoparticle (CB-NP) to pregnant mice on the development of lymphoid tissues in infantile mice. Pregnant ICR mice were treated with a suspension of CB-NP 95 microg/kg/time) by intranasal instillation, twice, on gestational day 5 and 9. Spleen and thymus were collected from offspring mice at 5 days post-partum.
