Abstract:
Transcriptomics is an established powerful tool to identify potential mRNAs and ncRNAs (non-coding RNAs) for endometrial receptivity. In this study, the goat endometrium at estrus day 5 (ED5) and estrus day 15 (ED15) were selected to systematically analyse the differential expressed genes (DEGs) what were induced by the embryo. There were 1,847 genes which were significantly differential expressed in endometrium induced by the embryo at ED5, and 1,346 at ED15 (p-value < .05). Secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP) was the responsive genes for embryo in the goat endometrium during estrus cycle, neurotensis (NTS) and pleiotrophin (PTN) were the responsive genes for embryo in the goat endometrium at ED5, Testin (TES) and Phosphate and Tension Homology Deleted on Chromsome ten (PTEN) at ED15. Furthermore, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes (KEGG) analysis revealed cytoplasm and Endocytosis were indispensable for the endometrium development in dairy goat. In a word, this resulting view of the transcriptome greatly uncovered the global trends in mRNAs expression induced by the embryo in the endometrium of dairy goats.
