چکیده
Production of embryos in vitro has enormous potential for research and commercial applications. Unfortunately, in vitro production of porcine embryos is extremely inefficient. Despite the characterization of distinct phenotypes, little is known about the molecular mechanisms and altered physiological processes of in vitro-produced embryos. The objective of this study was to compare global gene expression patterns from in vivo(IVO) and in vitroproduced (IVP) porcine embryos using small amplified RNA-serial analysis of gene expression (SAR-SAGE). Whole-cell RNA from pools of Day 6 IVO and IVP blastocysts was used to construct SAR-SAGE libraries. Sequence analysis of the IVO and IVP libraries yielded 98,771 and 98,408 tags, respectively. A total of 20,029 and 23,453 putative transcripts were detected in the IVO and IVP libraries, respectively. Statistical analyses of SAGE tag frequencies between the IVO and IVP libraries indicated that 938 and 193 tags were differentially expressed at a P<0.05 and P<0.001 level of significance, respectively, suggesting significant deviations in transcriptome profiles from IVO and IVP embryos. Categorization of differentially expressed transcripts into functional groupings indicated a significant deviation in gene expression from IVP blastocysts compared with IVO blastocysts for a number of biological processes including cellular metabolism, organization, and response to stress. Real-time PCR confirmed differential expression for several transcripts from independent IVO and IVP blastocysts. These results demonstrate compromised gene expression in IVP blastocysts compared with IVO blastocysts for a number of biological processes, particularly processes involved in mitochondrial function; thereby providing potential target pathways for improvement of IVP methods.

Gastrulation and trophectoderm elongation of the porcine conceptus coincide with peak conceptus estrogen secretion from gestational day 11 to day 12. The current study aim was to identify genes required for elongation by defining the transcriptome profile of this dynamic tubular stage. The gastrulation and proliferative status of ovoid, tubular, and filamentous conceptuses were also examined. P...

Limited understanding of the importance of known pluripotency factors in pig embryonic stem cells (ESC) impedes the establishment and validation of porcine ESC lines. This study evaluated the expression of known mouse ESC and human ESC (hESC) pluripotency markers in in vivo inner cell mass (ICM) and in vitro-cultured undifferentiated porcine epiblast cells isolated from 8-day porcine blastocyst...

Conceptus loss during the pre-implantation and early post-implantation period hinders the efficiency of swine reproduction. Significant conceptus loss occurs during trophectoderm elongation between gestational day (D) 11 and D12. Elongation of the porcine conceptus is a key stage of development during which maternal recognition of pregnancy, initial placental development, and preparation for im...

Conceptus loss during the preimplantation and early postimplantation period hinders the efficiency of swine reproduction. Significant conceptus loss occurs during trophectoderm elongation between gestational day 11 (D11) and day 12 (D12).

Steroidogenesis in porcine non-conceptus tissue is regulated by the STAR-dependent transport of cholesterol from the outer to inner mitochondrial membrane. Previous serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) identified a STAR mRNA transcript in the porcine peri-implantation conceptus during trophectoderm elongation and increased conceptus estrogen synthesis between gestational day 11 and 12.
