摘要：
In mammalian reproduction, embryo implantation to the uterus spatiotemporally regulated by a complex process and which is triggered by a number of factors. Although the previous studies suggested that the uterine receptivity is mediated by blastocyst-derived factors, but specific functions of embryos remain to be defined during preimplantation. Therefore, the present study was conducted to identify the maternal genes regulated by embryo-secreted factors in the rat uterus. RNA sequencing (RNAseq) data revealed that 10 genes were up regulated in the delayed implantation uterus compared to the uterus of pseudopregnancy. The results from RNAseq were further verified by real time quantitative PCR and it was observed that Sulf1 expression was significantly (P<0.05) induced in the delayed implantation uterus, although Areg, Calca, Fxyd4, Lamc3 showed remarkable expression level but the expression level was not statistically significant. During early pregnancy, Areg, Calca, Fxyd4, Lamc3 and Sulf1 expression at 3.5 days post coitus (dpc) were significantly (P<0.05) higher than that of 1.5 dpc. Finally, embryo-conditioned media treatment revealed that Lamc3 and Sulf1 were up-regulated compared to other genes studied. These results suggest that embryo derived factors regulate the maternal gene expression and Lamc3 and Sulf1 can be the possible markers for response study to embryo-secreted factors, and thus further embryo-maternal communications will be possible to better understanding.
