Expression of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) at mRNA level in ovine endometrium during estrus cycle and early pregnancy

Öz:
Aim: To elucidate mRNA expression of DNA methyltransferase enzyme genes (DNMT1, DNMT3A, and DNMT3B) in ovine endometrium whether they are modulated during the estrus cycle and early pregnancy. Materials and Methods: The endometrial samples including intercaruncular sites was obtained from a total of 24 ewes on days of 12 (P12, n = 4), 16 (P16, n = 4) and 22 (P22, n = 4) of pregnancy following mating and cyclic days of 12 (C12, n = 4), 16 (C16, n = 4) and 22 (C22, n = 4) of the estrous cycle. The relative mRNA level of DNMTs were evaluated through real-time quantitative RT-qPCR. Results: Abundances of DNMTs including DNMT1, DNMT3A, and DNMT3B were detected during the estrous cycle and early pregnancy in the ovine endometrium by this study. DNMT1 mRNA steady-state level was greater in P16 than in C16 whereas they did not change within the rest of the groups. The level of DNMT3A mRNA, during early pregnancy, had the highest expression levels on P12 compared to P22 and P16 (p<0.01). However, the level of DNMT3A mRNA was lower in P16 than in C16 (p<0.01) and had a similar decrease in P22 compared to C22 (p<0.01). DNMT3B mRNA level did not differ (p>0.01) during the estrus cycle and early pregnancy. Conclusion: DNA methylation related DNMTs may be required to control of gene expression in the ovine endometrium during the estrus cycle and early pregnancy.

Östrus siklusu ve erken gebelikte koyun endometriyumunda DNA metiltransferazların (DNMT) mRNA düzeyinde ekspresyonu

Öz:
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, östrus döngüsü ve erken gebelik sırasında DNA metiltransferaz enzim genlerinin (DNMT1, DNMT3A ve DNMT3B) ekspresyonunun koyun endometriyumunda düzenlenip düzenlenmediğini açıklamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: İnterkarunkular bölgeleri içeren endometriyal örnekler çiftleşmeyi takiben gebeliğin 12 (P12, n = 4), 16 (P16, n = 4) ve 22. (P22, n = 4) günlerinde ve östrus döngüsününe karşılık gelen 12. (C12, n = 4), 16. (C16, n = 4) ve 22. (C22, n = 4) günlerde toplam 24 koyundan toplandı. DNMT'lerin nispi mRNA ekspresyon düzeyleri gerçek zamanlı polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu (RT-qPCR) kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Tüm DNMT'lerin ekspresyonları östrus döngüsü ve erken gebelik sırasında koyun endometriyumda tespit edildi. DNMT1 mRNA ekspresyonunun kararlı durum seviyeleri P16'da C16'dan daha yüksekti, ancak grupların geri kalanında değişmedi. Bununla birlikte, gebeliğin erken döneminde DNMT3A mRNA seviyesi P22 ve P16'ya kıyasla P12'de en yüksek ekspresyon seviyelerine sahipti (p<0.01). Öte yandan, DNMT3A mRNA seviyesi P16'da C16'dandaha düşüktü (p<0.01), ayrıca P22'de C22'ye kıyasla benzer bir düşüş bulundu (p<0.01). DNMT3B mRNA ekspresyon seviyesi ise hem östrus döngüsü ve hemde erken gebelik sırasında değişmedi. Öneri: Östrus siklusu ve erken gebelik sırasında koyun endometriyumundaki gen ekspresyonunun kontrolü için DNA metilasyonu ile ilgili DNMT'ler gerekli olabileceği kanısına varıldı.
