Day-7 embryos generate an anti-inflammatory immune response in peripheral blood immune cells in superovulated cows.
American Journal of Reproductive Immunology : AJRI 2018 October 31
PROBLEM: Recently, we demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo that an immunological crosstalk between Day-7 embryo and immune cells exists locally in the uterus in cows. The peripheral immune response to early embryos at Day-7 of pregnancy in cows remains largely unknown. Thus, we aimed to investigate the response of peripheral blood immune cells in the presence of multiple Day-7 embryos in the uterus in donor cows of embryo transfer program.
METHOD OF STUDY: Superovulated cows were either inseminated (n=13) at 12-18 h post-estrus or remained without inseminations (n=6). Blood was collected following insemination (Day-1) and immediately after uterine flushing (Day-7). Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from whole blood for analysis of gene expression.
RESULTS: Interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs: ISG15 and OAS1) were increased in both PMNs and PBMCs, with up-regulation of PTGES and anti-inflammatory cytokines (TGFB1 and IL10) expressions at Day-7 of post-inseminations in cows, when compared to those at Day-7 in non-inseminated cows.
CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that the presence of multiple embryos in the uterus generates an anti-inflammatory immune response in peripheral blood immune cells at Day-7 of pregnancy in cows, which might help to accept semi-allogenic embryo in the uterus.
