Abstract
The development of endometrial receptivity is crucial for successful embryo implantation and the initiation of pregnancy. Understanding the molecular regulatory processes that transform the endometrium into a receptive phase is essential for enhancing implantation rates in fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a pivotal role as gene regulators and have been examined in the endometrium. This review offers current insights into the role of lncRNAs in regulating endometrial receptivity. Considering the significant variation in endometrial remodeling among species, we summarize the key events in the human endometrial cycle and discuss the identified lncRNAs in both humans and other species, which may play a crucial role in establishing receptivity. Notably, there are 742 lncRNAs in humans and 4438 lncRNAs that have the potential to modulate endometrial receptivity. Additionally, lncRNAs regulating matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and Let-7 have been observed in both species. Future investigations should explore the potential of lncRNAs as therapeutic targets and/or biomarkers for diagnosing and improving endometrial receptivity in human fertility therapy.

He Z, Wang X, Qi Y, Zhu C, Zhao Z, Zhang X, Liu X, Li S, Zhao F, Wang J, Shi B, Hu J. Long-stranded non-coding RNAs temporal-specific expression profiles reveal longissimus dorsi muscle development and intramuscular fat deposition in Tianzhu white yak. J Anim Sci 2023; 101:skad394. [PMID: 38029315 PMCID: PMC10760506 DOI: 10.1093/jas/skad394] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The process of muscle development and intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition is quite complex and controlled by both mRNAs and ncRNAs. Long-stranded non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are involved in various biological processes in mammals while also playing a critical role in muscle development and fat deposition. In the present study, RNA-Seq was used to comprehensively study the expression of lncRNAs and mRNAs during muscle development and intramuscular fat deposition in postnatal Tianzhu white yaks at three stages, including 6 mo of age (calve, n = 6), 30 mo of age (young cattle, n = 6) and 54 mo of age (adult cattle, n = 6). The results indicated that a total of 2,101 lncRNAs and 20,855 mRNAs were screened across the three stages, of which the numbers of differential expression (DE) lncRNAs and DE mRNAs were 289 and 1,339, respectively, and DE lncRNAs were divided into eight different expression patterns based on expression trends. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis revealed that some DE mRNAs overlapped with target genes of lncRNAs, such as NEDD4L, SCN3B, AGT, HDAC4, DES, MYH14, KLF15 (muscle development), ACACB, PCK2, LIPE, PIK3R1, PNPLA2, and MGLL (intramuscular fat deposition). These DE mRNAs were significantly enriched in critical muscle development and IMF deposition-related pathways and GO terms, such as AMPK signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, PPAR signaling pathway, etc. In addition, lncRNA-mRNA co-expression network analysis revealed that six lncRNAs (MSTRG.20152.2, MSTRG.20152.3, XR_001351700.1, MSTRG.8190.1, MSTRG.4827.1, and MSTRG.11486.1) may play a major role in Tianzhu white yak muscle development and lipidosis deposition. Therefore, this study enriches the database of yak lncRNAs and could help to further explore the functions and roles of lncRNAs in different stages of muscle development and intramuscular fat deposition in the Tianzhu white yak.

[PMID: 36006319 PMCID: PMC9415164 DOI: 10.3390/vetsci9080404] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Revised: 07/20/2022] [Accepted: 07/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The corpus luteum plays a key role in pregnancy maintenance and estrous cycle regulation by secreting progesterone. Hand2os1 is an lncRNA located upstream of Hand2, with which a bidirectional promoter is shared and is involved in the regulation of cardiac development and embryo implantation in mice. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression and regulation of Hand2os1 in the ovaries. Here, we used RNAscope to detect differential expression of Hand2os1 in the ovaries of cycling and pregnant mice. Hand2os1 was specifically detected in luteal cells during the proestrus and estrus phases, showing its highest expression in the corpus luteum at estrus. Additionally, Hand2os1 was strongly expressed in the corpus luteum on day 4 of pregnancy, but the positive signal progressively disappeared after day 8, was detected again on day 18, and gradually decreased after delivery. Hand2os1 significantly promoted the synthesis of progesterone and the expression of StAR and Cyp11a1. The decreased progesterone levels caused by Hand2os1 interference were rescued by the overexpression of StAR. Our findings suggest that Hand2os1 may regulate the secretion of progesterone in the mouse corpus luteum by affecting the key rate-limiting enzyme StAR, which may have an impact on the maintenance of pregnancy.
