Goal was to establish a model to study cellular memory in the endometrium. The hypothesis is that stimuli given to endometrium in vivo are retained as a cellular memory that remains after bovine uterine epithelial cells (BUECs) are isolated, cultured, and further stimulated in vitro. Objectives were to measure BUEC proliferation/migration and responsiveness to recombinant bovine Interferon-tau (rbIFNT) in vitro: among cows that showed estrus (experiment 1 [Exp1]), cows that became or not pregnant to artificial insemination (Exp2), cows that received or not supplemental progesterone (P4; Exp3) and cows that received or not a COX-1/2 inhibitor (Exp4). Only cows that displayed estrus were included in studies. For all experiments endometrial cytology was collected 4 days after estrus, BUECs were cultured, propagated, and submitted to rbIFNT treatment and an in vitro scratch assay. In Exp1, different cows spontaneously grouped according to proliferative/migratory capacity and responsiveness to rbIFNT of their respective BUECs. In Exp2, BUECs from pregnant cows showed greater rbIFNT responsiveness and cellular proliferation. In Exp3, BUECs from cows supplemented with P4 presented inhibited proliferation and increased expression of RSAD2. In Exp4, Flunixin Meglumine modified rbIFNT responsiveness of BUECs in an IFN-signaling pathway-specific manner. In conclusion, physiological and pharmacological stimuli received by the endometrium in vivo were retained as cellular memory in BUECs, persisted in culture, and changed BUEC proliferation/migration and responsiveness to rbIFNT, which are characteristics associated with fertility in cattle.}, journal={BIOLOGY OF REPRODUCTION}, author={Rocha, Cecilia Constantino and Cordeiro, Andrey Luiz Lopes and Campbell, Meghan and Maldonado, Mariangela Bueno Cordeiro and Silva, Felipe Alves Correa Carvalho and Bennett, Alexandra and Waheed, Abdul and Hansen, Thomas and Binelli, Mario}, year={2024}, month={Jun} }

Cows that displayed estrus (n = 94) were artificially inseminated (Day0; D0). On D19, blood samples were collected to obtain peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and measure progesterone (P4) concentrations. On D30, pregnancy diagnosis was performed. The expression of RSAD2 in PBMC of pregnant cows was positively related to the proportion of B. indicus genetics of the groups, but not the expression of ISG15 and OAS1. In pregnant cows, the proportion of B. indicus genetics was negatively associated to circulating levels of P4 concentrations. The P4 concentrations were related positively with RSAD2 expression. ROC curve results determined that for cattle with B. indicus genetics lower than 67%, the CLEC3B and AKR1B1 combination was the most accurate option to predict the outcome of pregnancy. In cows with more than 68% of B. indicus genetics, RSAD2 provided the best accuracy.

We further hypothesized that earlier timing of realimentation could prevent negative impacts of nutrient restriction. The objectives were to investigate the influence of nutrient restriction and realimentation during early to late gestation on endocrine profile, umbilical hemodynamics, and mammary gland development and hemodynamics in pregnant beef cows. In Experiment 1, on d 30 of pregnancy cows (initial BW = 667.5 ± 13.4 kg, BCS = 6.2 ± 0.1) were randomly assigned to one of 3 treatments: 1) 100% NRC requirements from d 30 to 254 of gestation (CCC; n = 6); 2) 60% NRC from d 30 to 85, thereafter being re-alimented to 100% NRC to d 254 (RCC; n = 5); 3) or receive 60% NRC from d 30 to 140, thereafter being re-alimented to 100% NRC to d 254 (RRC; n = 6). Cows were returned to a common outdoor facility for calving thereafter and were fed ad libitum. In Experiment 2, on d 30 of pregnancy, cows (initial BW = 620.5 ± 11.3 kg, BCS = 5.1 ± 0.1) were randomly assigned to dietary treatments including: control (CON; 100% NRC; n = 18) and nutrient restriction (RES; 60% NRC; n = 30). On d 85 of pregnancy, cows were either slaughtered (CON, n = 6 and RES, n = 6), remained on control (CC; n = 12) and restricted (RR; n = 12) treatments, or were realimented to control (RC; n = 11). On d 140 of pregnancy, cows were either slaughtered (CC, n = 6; RR, n = 6; RC, n = 5), remained on control (CCC, n = 6; RCC, n = 5), or were realimented to control (RRC, n = 6). On d 254 of pregnancy, all remaining cows were slaughtered (CCC, n = 6; RCC, n = 5; RRC, n = 6). Mammary hemodynamics and endocrine profile were measured. Serum urea nitrogen, NEFA, as well as fetal parameters were measured in Experiment 1; whereas in Experiment 2, mammary gland development was recorded. In Experiment 1, RRC cows had lower dry matter intake (P = 0.001) and consequently lower BW change (P = 0.06). However, maternal nutrition did not alter mammary hemodynamics, hormonal patterns, and fetal characteristics (P > 0.11). In Experiment 2, CCC cows had increased (P = 0.02) mammary gland blood flow ipsilateral to the gravid horn as well as greater (P = 0.02) mammary gland fat on d 254. Nevertheless, plane of nutrition did not alter hormonal concentrations nor mammary gland characteristics (P > 0.15).

Cells in the endometrial epithelial layer control the molecular traffic to and from the lumen and, thereby determine luminal composition. Starting early postestrus, endometrial function is regulated by sex steroids, but the effects of progesterone on luminal cells transcription have not been measured in vivo. The first objective was to determine the extent to which progesterone controls transcription in luminal epithelial cells 4 days (D4) after estrus. The second objective was to discover luminal transcripts that predict pregnancy outcomes when the effect of progesterone is controlled. Endometrial luminal epithelial cells were collected from embryo transfer recipients on D4 using a cytological brush and their transcriptome was determined by RNASeq. Pregnancy by embryo transfer was measured on D30 (25 pregnant and 18 nonpregnant). Progesterone concentration on D4 was associated positively ( n = 182) and negatively ( n = 58) with gene expression. Progesterone-modulated transcription indicated an increase in oxidative phosphorylation, biosynthetic activity, and proliferation of epithelial cells. When these effects of progesterone were controlled, different genes affected positively ( n = 22) and negatively ( n = 292) odds of pregnancy. These set of genes indicated that a receptive uterine environment was characterized by the inhibition of phosphoinositide signaling and innate immune system responses. A panel of 25 genes predicted the pregnancy outcome with sensitivity and specificity ranging from 64%–96% and 44%–83%, respectively.

In cattle, early development of the non-attaching embryo depends exclusively on the biochemical properties of the intrauterine milieu. As the embryo transitions from the oviduct to the tip of the uterine horn around 4 days after oestrus, little is known about uterine functions that modulate the milieu composition and potentially determine pregnancy success. The objective was to characterise changes in uterine luminal fluid (ULF) accumulation and absorption, endometrial vascularity, and endometrial thickness in response to progesterone fluctuations during the peri-ovulatory period in beef heifers. Fourteen Bos indicus heifers that presented a prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) responsive CL received 500µg of PGF2α analogue i.m. (PGF) and were examined daily by rectal B-mode and pulse-wave colour-Doppler ultrasonography until the fifth day after oestrus (oestrus=Day 0). Plasma progesterone (P4) concentrations were measured daily. Uterine luminal fluid score was given based on the accumulation of fluid throughout the entire organ (0, no fluid, to 4). Measurement of the main ovarian structures, endometrial thickness, uterine luminal fluid score, and luminal fluid area of the cranial portion of the uterine horn ipsilateral to the preovulatory follicle and subsequent CL were executed by B-mode ultrasonography and endometrial vascularity by colour Doppler. The fixed effect of day was analysed by ANOVA. There was an effect of day on endometrial vascularity, endometrial thickness, and uterine luminal fluid score (P≤0.01) as well as uterine luminal fluid area (P≤0.05). Endometrial vascularity and endometrial thickness increased after PGF injection to peak on Day −1, whereas uterine fluid score peaked on Day 0. Interestingly, cranial uterine luminal fluid area peaked twice, on Day −1 and Day 5. Vascularity, thickness, and fluid accumulation decreased gradually from Day 0 to Day 5. There was a negative correlation (r=−0.55) between the sum of daily P4 concentrations during proestrus (i.e. from PGF to oestrus) and the greatest ULF score measured (P=0.05). Length of proestrus was correlated negatively (r=−0.69) with the increase in uterine body thickness during proestrus (P=0.03). The sum of daily luminal fluid scores, from PGF injection to Day 5, was double for heifers grouped within the upper third for that variable compared with those grouped within the lower third. In conclusion, peri-ovulatory transformations in uterine morphology and function are dramatic and vary in duration and in intensity among animals. Temporal changes in intraluminal fluid accumulation and absorption at the site of embryo arrival may change its biochemical composition. Potential implications for embryo receptivity and reproductive outcomes deserve further investigation.

In Exp 1, 35 crossbred Angus cows were randomly assigned to one of two treatments at initiation of a 16 d superovulation protocol; 1) cows received 90 mg Cu, 60 mg Mn, 30 mg Se, and 360 mg Zn as an injectable TM supplement (6 ml Multimin 90 s.q.; ITM); or 2) were untreated (CON). All donors were exposed to a common superovulation protocol, embryos were recovered 7 d after AI, graded for quality and developmental stage, and frozen until transfer. A replicated crossover design was used, with 120 d between flushes (total n = 70 for CON and 69 for ITM). In Exp 2, crossbred beef females were synchronized to receive embryos, and females with a CL 7 d after induced ovulation randomly assigned to receive an embryo originating from; 1) donors exposed to ITM (n =196); or 2) donors exposed to CON (n = 212). Embryo recovery data were analyzed using PROC MIXED of SAS for main effects of treatment, period, and their interaction, whereas the GLIMMIX procedure of SAS was used to analyze recipient pregnancy rates. In Exp 1, number of viable embryos recovered from cows responding to superovulation was similar (P = 0.94) among ITM (4.53 ± 0.63) and CON cows (4.46 ± 0.63). Moreover, number of degenerate, unfertilized, and total ova collected (P ≥ 0.67), and number of embryos in respective developmental stages or quality grades (P ≥ 0.24) were not affected by treatment. In Exp 2, pregnancy rates to embryo transfer were similar (P = 0.52) among CON (49.1%) and ITM (45.9 %) treatments. In this study, ITM administration failed to enhance embryo outcomes or pregnancy rates.}, number={suppl_3}, journal={Journal of Animal Science}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={da Silva, F and Negrin-Pereira, N and Funnell, B and Baumgaertner, F and Crosswhite, M and McCarthy, K and Underdahl, S and Neville, B and Sedivec, K and DeGrofft, D and et al.}, year={2018}, month={Dec}, pages={346–346} }
