Assessment of Embryo-Induced Transcriptomic Changes in Hamster Uterus Using RNA-Seq.
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The mouse is widely used as an animal model for studying human embryo implantation. However, the mouse is unique in that both ovarian progesterone and estrogen are critical to implantation, whereas in the majority of species (e.g. human and hamster) implantation can occur in the presence of progesterone alone.
METHODS: In this study, we analyzed embryo-induced transcriptomic changes in the hamster uterus during embryo implantation by using RNA-seq. Differentially expressed genes were characterized by bioinformatic analysis.
RESULTS: We identified a total of 781 differentially expressed genes, of which 367 genes were up-regulated and 414 genes were down-regulated at the implantation site compared to the inter-implantation site. Functional clustering and gene network analysis highlighted the cell cycle process in uterus upon embryo implantation. By examining of the promoter regions of differentially expressed genes, we identified 7 causal transcription factors. Additionally, through connectivity map (CMap) analysis, multiple compounds were identified to have potential anti-implantation effects due to their ability to reverse embryo-induced transcriptomic changes.
CONCLUSION: Our study provides a valuable resource for in-depth understanding of the mechanism underlying embryo implantation.
