| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the RNA-seq analysis of side population (SP) cell identified in bovine endometrium revealed that SP cells have stem/progenitor cell-like properties, and some of them might be derived from bone marrow. The ratio of SP cells in endometrial cells were low immediately after parturition and then gradually increased, suggesting that SP cells are differentiated and proliferated into endometrial cells after parturition. Besides, the ratio of endometrial SP cells in low fertility cows with a high number of calving was similar to that in normal fertility cows with a low number of calving. From this result, it is possible that the ratio of SP cells is not affected by parity, and the number of SP cells is unlikely to affect fertility in cows.
