Screening Candidate Genes Regulating Placental Development from Trophoblast Transcriptome at Early Pregnancy in Dazu Black Goats ( Capra hircus). Animals (Basel) 2021; 11:ani11072132. [PMID: 34359260 PMCID: PMC8300351 DOI: 10.3390/ani11072132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2021] [Revised: 07/12/2021] [Accepted: 07/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary The trophoblast is an original placental tissue whose normal proliferation, differentiation, migration, adhesion, and angiopoiesis are essential for placenta formation and fetal survival during early pregnancy. However, the key genes and molecular mechanisms involved in placenta development in goats are unknown. Herein, the morphology and histological structures of trophoblast tissues from day 20 to 30 of pregnancy were determined. RNA-sequencing was used to screen potential functional genes in common highly expressed and differentially expressed genes. RAP1 signaling pathway was used as the contact center and coordinated with other pathways to regulate placenta development. This study could provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying ruminant placentation. Abstract This study explored the trophoblast transcriptome to understand potential functional genes involved in early placental development in goats and their enriched signaling pathways. Trophoblast samples were collected from nine Dazu Black goats on days 20, 25, and 30 of pregnancy (D20, D25, and D30). As the pregnancy progressed, the morphology and histological structures showed significant growth, adhesion, and angiogenesis. A total of 23,253 commonly expressed genes (CEGs) and 4439 differently expressed genes (DEGs) were detected by RNA sequencing. The common highly expressed genes (ChEGs) (the top 100 CEGs) with the highest FPKM percentage (29.9%) of all CEGs were annotated to the ribosome pathway and maintain pregnancy. DEGs were abundant in D30 vs. D20 (3715 DEGs). Besides, the DEGs were associated with the inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation and activation of PI3K-Akt, focal adhesion, ECM–receptor interaction, Rap1, and CAM signaling pathways. The RAP1 may be a central pathway since it coordinates with others to regulate the cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and fusion of trophoblasts. qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis confirmed the transcriptional expression in IGF1, VEGFC, RAPGEF3, PIK3CA, AKT3, ITGB3, ITGA11, SPP1, NOS1, and ATP6V0B genes and protein levels in VEGF, RAPGEF3, and Akt. This is the first study of transcriptome profiling in goat placenta and provides diverse genetic resources for further research on placenta development.

Abstract
BCL2L13 is a BCL2-like protein. It has been discovered for two decades, now on the way to be a hotspot of research with its physiological and pathological meanings found in recent years. Start with the pro-apoptotic activity, there have been reported consecutively that BCL2L13 could also induce mitochondrial fragmentation, inhibit cell death and promote mitophagy. Similar to BNIP3, BCL2L13 cannot be indiscriminately categorized into pro- or anti-apoptotic proteins. It anchors in the mitochondrial outer membrane, and expresses in various cells and tissues. This article reviews for the first time that BCL2L13 functions in physiological processes, such as growth and development and energy metabolism, and its dysregulation participating in pathological processes, including cancer, bacterial infection, cardiovascular diseases and degenerative diseases, suggesting its important roles in these events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Secreted protein of Ly-6 domain 1 (SOLD1), a secretory-type member of the Ly-6 superfamily, is expressed in both fetal and maternal tissues throughout gestation. SOLD1 mRNA is expressed in the endometrium and in trophoblast mononucleate and binucleate cells, suggesting it plays an important role not only in placental architecture at early gestation, but also in remodeling the endometrium at late gestation. Here, we investigate the expression of SOLD1 mRNA and protein in trophoblast cell lines. In addition, we examine the effect of SOLD1 on the invasive ability of trophoblast cells. METHODS We measured SOLD1 gene expression in thirteen bovine trophoblast (BT) cell lines by using quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). SOLD1 protein levels were examined in two cell lines, BT-C and BT-K, by using Western blotting and immunocytochemistry. In addition, we measured the invasive activity of BT cells in the presence or absence of anti-bovine SOLD1 antibodies. RESULTS At variable levels, SOLD1 was expressed in all thirteen cell lines; however, expression remained below that of proximal fetal membrane tissue. SOLD1 protein, which was approximately 28 kDa in size, was detected in perinuclear area of the cytoplasm in BT cells. Treatment with anti-bovine SOLD1 antibody had a dose-dependent suppressive effect on the invasiveness of BT-K cell lines. CONCLUSIONS The present study is the first to investigate SOLD1 expression in vitro, in trophoblastic cell lines. Our data suggested that SOLD1 is involved in the regulation of the trophoblast invasiveness. Therefore, SOLD1 may play an active and crucial role in mediating communication at the fetomaternal interface.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the developmental rate, lipid and mitochondrial distribution and gene expression in oocyte-derived embryos selected on the basis of brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) staining. Lipid content and mitochondrial distribution in Day 8 blastocysts were evaluated by fluorescence intensity, while gene expression was analyzed by real-time PCR. The proportion of blastocysts (30.9%) was greater (P<0.05) in BCB+ than in BCB- oocytes (13%) but not different (P>0.05) from the control group (28.2%). Total cell number was also greater in BCB+ (155.1 ± 36.2) than in BCB- (116.6 ± 40.5) and control (127.5 ± 35.7) blastocysts. Furthermore, the apoptotic cell number was less in BCB+ (3.7 ± 4.4) than in BCB- blastocysts (8.7 ± 8.7) but not different from the control group (5.9 ± 3.9). BCB+ embryos contained more mitochondria compared to BCB- embryos (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in intercellular lipid accumulation in embryos from all groups. Interferon-τ (IFNτ), transforming growth factor β1 (TGFB1) and secreted seminal-vesicle Ly-6 protein 1 (SSLP1) gene expression was greater in BCB+ than in BCB- blastocysts. By contrast, Bcl2-associated X protein (BAX) and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1 (HNRNPA2B1) gene expression was greater in BCB- than in BCB+ and control embryos. In conclusion, oocyte-derived embryos selected on the basis of BCB staining showed differences in developmental rate, quality, mitochondrial content and target gene expression compared to control embryos.

Abstract
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is the most efficient cell reprogramming technique available, especially when working with bovine species. Although SCNT blastocysts performed equally well or better than controls in the weeks following embryo transfer at Day 7, elongation and gastrulation defects were observed prior to implantation. To understand the developmental implications of embryonic/extra-embryonic interactions, the morphological and molecular features of elongating and gastrulating tissues were analysed. At Day 18, 30 SCNT conceptuses were compared to 20 controls (AI and IVP: 10 conceptuses each); one-half of the SCNT conceptuses appeared normal while the other half showed signs of atypical elongation and gastrulation. SCNT was also associated with a high incidence of discordance in embryonic and extra-embryonic patterns, as evidenced by morphological and molecular “uncoupling”. Elongation appeared to be secondarily affected; only 3 of 30 conceptuses had abnormally elongated shapes and there were very few differences in gene expression when they were compared to the controls. However, some of these differences could be linked to defects in microvilli formation or extracellular matrix composition and could thus impact extra-embryonic functions. In contrast to elongation, gastrulation stages included embryonic defects that likely affected the hypoblast, the epiblast, or the early stages of their differentiation. When taking into account SCNT conceptus somatic origin, i.e. the reprogramming efficiency of each bovine ear fibroblast (Low: 0029, Med: 7711, High: 5538), we found that embryonic abnormalities or severe embryonic/extra-embryonic uncoupling were more tightly correlated to embryo loss at implantation than were elongation defects. Alternatively, extra-embryonic differences between SCNT and control conceptuses at Day 18 were related to molecular plasticity (high efficiency/high plasticity) and subsequent pregnancy loss. Finally, because it alters re-differentiation processes in vivo, SCNT reprogramming highlights temporally and spatially restricted interactions among cells and tissues in a unique way.
