Knit directory: SRB_2022/1_analysis/

This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.7.0). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.


The R Markdown file has unstaged changes. To know which version of the R Markdown file created these results, you’ll want to first commit it to the Git repo. If you’re still working on the analysis, you can ignore this warning. When you’re finished, you can run wflow_publish to commit the R Markdown file and build the HTML.

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility.

The results in this page were generated with repository version 6e0f643. See the Past versions tab to see a history of the changes made to the R Markdown and HTML files.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:

Abstract

A key determinant of successful embryo implantation is uterine receptivity. From a non-receptive state during ovulation, this acquisition of receptivity to implantation involves significant molecular and cellular changes in the endometrial lining of the uterus in preparation for the implanting embryo. However, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying this transition remain to be fully characterised. Here, we aimed to generate a comprehensive transcriptome profile of the mouse uterus in the peri-ovulatory and peri-implantation states and characterise transcriptome changes between the two states. Tissue was collected from non-receptive endometrium of estrous C57Bl/6 female mice and C57Bl/6 females mated to BALB/c males at day 3.5 post-coitum, the day before embryo implantation in mice. High-throughput RNA-sequencing was used to identify the genes and pathways regulated in the endometrium (n=3-4 biological replicates per group). Differential gene expression analysis revealed 546 upregulated and 30 downregulated genes (logFC>1 and adjusted p- value<0.05) in the endometrium of mated mice compared to estrous mice. With the suite of analytical tools from Ingenuity Pathway Analysis, these differentially expressed genes were predicted to activate pathways and upstream regulators involved in implantation, such as the estrogen signalling pathway and vascular endothelial growth factor A. Furthermore, significant molecular changes in the maternal immune and vascular systems occur in the uterus during the pre-implantation phase, as demonstrated by increased functional terms, including leukocyte migration and angiogenesis. Together, our findings confirm that the uterine transcriptome before achieving receptivity is vastly different from the non-receptive estrous uterus, and the changes observed are in line with substantial cellular alterations occurring before embryo implantation. This dataset will serve as a valuable tool and resource for utilisation in future research on the molecular mechanisms of uterine receptivity.
