Expression of Uterine Sensitization-Associated Gene-1 (USAG-1) in the Mouse Uterus During the Peri-Implantation Period
Provedor de dados: 19
Autores: MAEDA, Kanami; LEE, Dong-Soo; YANAGIMOTO UETA, Yoshiko; SUZUKI, Hiroshi; 鈴木, 宏志.
Rat uterine sensitization-associated gene-1 (USAG-1) mRNA is expressed in the uterus during the peri-implantation period, and its mRNA expression in uterine epithelial cells is highest on day 5 of pregnancy. On the other hand, since changes in USAG-1 mRNA expression in the mouse uterus are not seen during the estrous cycle, USAG-1 expression might be specifically regulated by embryonic factors rather than by the maternal environment. However, the expression pattern and function of USAG-1 in the mouse uterus have not been determined. Thus, we examined the tissue-specific USAG-1 mRNA expression in the uteri of ICR mice during peri-implantation using real-time quantitative PCR. Uterine tissues, such as the myometrium, luminal epithelium, and stroma, were...

The cryopreservation of ovarian tissues is a technology with significant potential for the preservation of the genetic resource materials of working dogs, including guide dogs for the blind. However, no attempt has been reported on cryopreservation of the canine ovary. Thus, we evaluated a vitrification method for cryopreservation of canine ovaries and determined the potential functionality of vitrified-warmed canine ovaries by means of transplantation into non-obese diabetic-severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD-SCID) mice. All ovarian tissues cryopreserved by vitrification were morphologically normal in terms of histology. Cryopreserved ovaries were transplanted into the ovarian bursa of the NOD-SCID mice, and the xenografts were recovered from 23 of 23...

Expression Patterns of the Implantation-associated Genes in the Uterus during the Estrous Cycle in Mice
Provedor de dados: 19
Autores: LEE, Dong-Soo; YANAGIMOTO UETA, Yoshiko; XUAN, Xuenan; IGARASHI, Ikuo; FUJISAKI, Kozo; SUGIMOTO, Chihiro; TOYODA, Yutaka; SUZUKI, Hiroshi; 玄, 学南; 五十嵐, 郁男; 鈴木, 宏志.
The mRNA expression patterns of EGF, HB-EGF, Amphiregulin, EGF receptor, IGF-1, CSF-1, IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-1 receptor type 1, IL-1 receptor antagonist, LIF, COX-1, COX-2, Mucin-1, calcitonin, and rat USAG-1 mouse homologue, all of which are involved in the process of conceptus implantation to the endometrium, were examined during the estrous cycle by means of real-time quantitative PCR. COX-2, HB-EGF, LIF, Mucin-1, CSF-1, IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, and IL-1 receptor antagonist were temporally regulated during the estrous cycle and highly expressed during the estrous stage. In the case of COX-1, EGF, IGF-1, and EGF receptor, the highest mRNA expression was during the diestrous stage. In contrast, the rat USAG-1 mouse homologue mRNA expression did not...

Expression of Amphiregulin During the Pre- and Post-implantation Period in the Mouse Reproductive Tract
Provedor de dados: 19
Autores: LEE, Dong-Soo; YANAGIMOTO UETA, Yoshiko; SUZUKI, Hiroshi; 鈴木, 宏志.
In mammals, embryo implantation is an essential step in reproduction. Implantation is a phenomenon that involves crosstalk between the blastocyst and the maternal endometrium. However, the molecular basis of the connections between the blastocyst and endometrium is not yet fully understood. Amphiregulin is a member of the epidermal growth factor family and is known to be expressed in the luminal epithelium of the mouse uterus on 3.5 days post coitum (dpc). Thus, to clarify the mechanism of amphiregulin at fetomaternal interface, we analyzed the expression pattern of amphiregulin mRNA in the oviducts and uteri of pregnant and psuedopregnant mice by means of real-time PCR. Amphiregulin expression in the pregnant uterus dramatically increased on 2.5 dpc,...

Artificial Insemination with Canine Spermatozoa Frozen in a Skim Milk/Glucose-Based Extender
Provedor de dados: 19
Autores: ABE, Yasuyuki; LEE, Dong-Soo; SANO, Hikaru; AKIYAMA, Koji; YANAGIMOTO-UETA, Yoshiko; ASANO, Tomoyoshi; SUWA, Yoshinori; SUZUKI, Hiroshi; 鈴木, 宏志.
Due to the recent outbreak of avian influenza, transportation of frozen canine semen with egg yolk has been sharply restricted. Thus, there is urgent need to develop a novel egg yolk-free extender for freezing canine spermatozoa. In the present study, the effect of using skim milk/glucose (SG)-based extender without egg yolk on the motility and fertilizing capacity of canine spermatozoa frozen-thawed in the presence of glycerol was examined. There was a tendency for the proportion of motile spermatozoa exposed to SG-based extender for 3 h to be higher than that exposed for 1 h, but the difference was not significant. The motility and other viability parameters of canine spermatozoa after thawing were similar to those obtained with an egg yolk-based...
