Decreased epithelial Progesterone Receptor A at the window of receptivity is required for preparation of the endometrium for embryo attachment

ABSTRACT: The progesterone receptor A (PGRA) isoform is the dominantly expressed isoform within the mouse uterus and is indispensable for uterine function and fertility in the murine reproductive tract. During early pregnancy, the PGRA isoform is spatiotemporally expressed in the uterine epithelium. At days 2-3 of pregnancy, PGRA is upregulated within the epithelium and then decreases before day 4, the day of embryo implantation. This decrease of PGRA has been recognized as a marker to initiate the time in which the uterus is receptive to the embryo, yet this has never been functionally tested. We hypothesized the decrease of PGRA at the window of receptivity is required for successful embryo implantation. In order to test this hypothesis, we generated a PGRA conditional expression allele initiated by Cre recombinase present in the uterine epithelial compartment. The PGRA expressing mice exhibited infertility with the inability to undergo embryo implantation or decidualization. RNA microarray and ChIP-Seq analyses were utilized to identify the differentially regulated pathways controlled by PGRA at the time of implantation.

Uterine glands impact uterine receptivity, luminal fluid homeostasis and blastocyst implantation

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.

Constitutive expression of Progesterone Receptor B in the uterine epithelium prevents implantation by inhibiting estrogen regulation of LIF signaling [RNAseq-PRAoe_PRBoe_oil_P4]

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.

Metabolic Changes of Maternal Uterine Fluid, Uterus, and Plasma during the Peri-implantation Period of Early Pregnancy in Mice

Project description:Embryo implantation is a complex process which involves biochemical and physiological interactions between an implantation-competent blastocyst and a receptive uterus. However, the exact biochemical changes of uterine fluid, uterus, and plasma during peri-implantation remain unclear. This study aims to characterize the biochemical and metabolic changes that occur during the peri-implantation period of early pregnancy, using mice as an animal model. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to analyze the metabolite profiles of the uterus, uterine fluid, and maternal plasma at pre-implantation and implantation. The multivariate analyses, ANOVA and Tukey's HSD test, were applied to detect significant changes in metabolites and metabolic pathways. The metabolic networks were reconstructed in silico based on the identified metabolites and KEGG metabolic framework. Between pre-implantation day 1 and day 4, dramatic metabolic changes were observed in the uterine fluid that could be important for blastocyst development and protection against the harsh uterine environment. Palmitoleic acid, fumaric acid, and glutaric acid changed levels at day 4 in the uterus, suggesting that they may be associated with endometrial receptivity. Both the uterus and maternal plasma showed profound changes in cellular metabolism at the early implantation period, including upregulation of branched-chain amino acids and intermediates of one-carbon metabolism, an upregulation of glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, and downregulation of aerobic respiration; all of which could be involved in the regulation of the maternal-fetal interface, alternative nutrient utilization, and energy preservation for implantation as well as later placentation and fetal development to ensure successful embryo implantation.

The analysis of the α2,6-sialylated proteins in endometrium from porcine gestational day 15 by LC-MS/MS

Project description:Implantation is the attachment of embryo in the endometrium. Failure in implantation is a major cause of early pregnancy loss. During implantation, the temporal uterine lumen closure can help embryo attach to the uterus. In pigs, extending of endometrial folds to form interlocking finger-like projections is a main cause leads to uterine lumen closure during attachment time, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Our data reveal that pig uterine luminal epithelium (LE) migrate in coordinated groups during extending of endometrial folds. Moreover, the MALDI-TOF MS based N-glycomic characterization of porcine endometrium revealed α2,6-linked sialic acid are highly expressed in pig uterine LE during extending of endometrial folds. To investigated the mechanisms by which α2,6-sialylated proteins in formation of the endometrial folding during implantation in pigs, the α2,6-sialylated proteins in pig uterine LE were characterized by proteomic analysis and those proteins that are involved in cell adhesion, such as E-cadherin, were detected. Finally, our in vivo and in vitro data show that α2,6-sialylation of E-cadherin occurs in accompany with collective epithelial migration. The results provide new insight into the mechanism of pig implantation by identifying that α2,6-sialylation of cell adhesion molecules may participate in formation of extending of endometrial folds through promoting of collective migration of uterine LE.

Enhancing Uterine Receptivity for Embryo Implantation through Controlled Collagenase Intervention

Project description:Ineffective endometrial matrix remodeling, a key factor in infertility, impedes embryo implantation in the uterine wall. Our study reveals the cellular and molecular impact of human collagenase-1 administration in mouse uteri, demonstrating enhanced embryo implantation rates. Collagenase-1 promotes remodeling of the endometrial extracellular matrix (ECM), degrading collagen fibers and proteoglycans. This process releases matrix-bound bioactive factors, (e.g. VEGF, decorin), facilitating vascular permeability and angiogenesis. Collagenase-1 elevates embryo implantation regulators, including NK cell infiltration and the key cytokine LIF. Remarkably, uterine tissue maintains structural integrity despite reduced endometrial collagen fiber tension. In-utero collagenase-1 application rescues implantation in the heat stress and embryo transfer models, known for low implantation rates. Importantly, ex-vivo exposure of human uterine tissue to collagenase-1 induces collagen de-tensioning and VEGF release, mirroring remodeling observed in mice. Our research highlights collagenase potential to induce and orchestrate cellular and molecular processes enhancing uterine receptivity for effective embryo implantation. This innovative approach underscores ECM remodeling mechanisms critical for embryo implantation

Gene expression profiling of uterine epithelial cells isolated from Msx1Msx2 floxed and Msx1Msx2 ablated mice on day 4 of pregnancy

Project description:Our preliminary study revealed that the homeobox transcription factors, Msx1 and Msx2, are expressed in the mouse uterus during early pregnancy. Further, conditional deletion of Msx1 and Msx2 in mouse uterus leads to implantation failure due to impaired uterine epithelial receptivity. To identify the downstream targets of Msx1Msx2 in the uterus, we performed gene expression profling of uterine epithelial cells isolated from Msx1Msx2-null mice and the corresponding controls on day4 of pregnancy (the time of implantation). The microarray results revealed elevated expression of mRNAs corresponding to several Wnts in uterine epithelium of Msx1Msx2-ablated mice. We performed conditional ablation of Msx1Msx2 in the mouse uterus using the PRcre mouse model. we isolated uterine epithelial cells from day4 pregnant mice (n=5 for each genotype). Total RNA was purified from these cells to hybridize to high density affymetrix microarrays.
