Project description:Implantation is crucial for placental development whose quality will directly impact fetal growth and pregnancy success with possible consequences on post-natal health. We postulated that early perturbations of the conceptus-maternal environment communication may alter the endometrium physiology that could account for the final reproductive outcome. Using cattle as an animal model, we compared gene expression profiles of the endometrial caruncular and intercaruncular areas at implantation in three types of pregnancies, namely artificial insemination (AI), in vitro fertilization with embryo transfer (IVF-ET) or somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Less than 35% of the differentially regulated genes were found to be common between AI, IVF-ET, and SCNT conditions. Compared to AI, numerous biological functions and several canonical pathways and genes were found to be significantly affected in IVF-ET or SCNT, with a major impact on metabolism and immune function in SCNT. Our data show that endometrium can fine-tune its physiology and could be considered as a biological sensor in response to pregnancy manipulations. Determining the limits of the endometrial plasticity should bring new insights on the contribution of the maternal compartment to the issue of pregnancy. Keywords: Fluorescence Microarray 30 samples

We postulated that early perturbations of the conceptus-maternal environment communication may alter the endometrium physiology that could account for the final reproductive outcome. Using cattle as an animal model, we compared gene expression profiles of the endometrial caruncular and intercaruncular areas during the critical period of implantation in three types of pregnancies: artificial insemination (AI), in vitro fertilization with embryo transfer (IVF-ET) or somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Less than 35% of the differentially expressed genes were found to be common between AI, IVF-ET, and SCNT conditions.

Determining the limits of the endometrial plasticity should bring new insights on the contribution of the maternal compartment to the pregnancy outlet.

Project description:Transcription profiling of placentomes derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), in vitro fertilization (IVF) and artificial insemination (AI) at or near term development was performed in order to better understand why SCNT and IVF often result in placental defects, hydrops and large offspring syndrome (LOS). Multivariate analysis of variance was used to distinguish the effects of SCNT, IVF and AI on gene expression, taking into account the effects of parturition, sex of the fetus, breed of dam, breed of fetus and disease status of the offspring. The differential expression of 21 physiologically important genes was confirmed using quantitative PCR. The largest effect on placentome gene expression was attributable to whether placentae were collected at term or preterm (whether the collection was due to disease or to obtain matching case-controls) followed by placentome source (AI, IVF or SCNT). Gene expression in SCNT placentomes was dramatically different from AI (N=336 genes; 276 >2-fold) and from IVF (N=733 genes; 162 >2-fold) placentomes. Functional analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEG) showed that IVF has significant effects on genes associated with cellular metabolism. In contrast, DEG associated with SCNT are involved in multiple pathways, including cell cycle, cell death, gene expression, posttranslational modification, molecular transport and connective tissue development. Many DEG were shared between the gene lists for IVF and SCNT comparisons, suggesting that common pathways are affected by the embryo culture methods used for IVF and SCNT. However, the many unique gene functions and pathways affected by SCNT suggest that cloned fetuses may be starved and accumulating toxic wastes due to placental insufficiency caused by reprogramming errors. Many of these genes are candidates for hydrops and LOS. Keywords: gene expression; development; SCNT; cloning; nuclear transfer; IVF; AI
