Project description:Endometrial receptivity plays a vital role in the success of embryo implantation. However, the temporal proteomic profile of porcine endometrium during embryo implantation is still unclear. In this study, the expression of proteins in endometrium on days 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 18 of pregnancy (D9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 18) was profiled via iTRAQ technology. The results showed that 25, 55, 103, 91, 100, 120, 149 proteins were up-regulated, and 24, 70, 169, 159, 164, 161, 198 proteins were down-regulated in porcine endometrium on D10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 18 compared with that on D9, respectively. Among these differentially expressed (DE) proteins, MQM results indicated that S100A9, S100A12, HRG and IFI6 were differentially expressed in endometrial tissues during embryo implantation period. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the proteins differentially expressed in the 8 comparisons (D10 vs D9, D11 vs D9, D12 vs D9, D13 vs D9, D14 vs D9, D15 vs D9 and D18 vs D9) were involved in important processes and pathways related to immunization, endometrial remodeling, which have a vital effect on embryonic implantation. Our results reveal that RBP4 could regulate the cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis of endometrial epithelial cells and endometrial stromal cells to affect embryo implantation. This research also provides resources for studies of proteins in endometrium during early pregnancy.
