Outline of Final Research Achievements

Before the embryo implants into the endometrium, the dynamic changes are occurred in the uterus, which is the proliferation-differentiation switching in the luminal epithelium and stromal cells, and is that the serrated structure of uterine lumen becomes to the slit shape. These changes may be associated with Progesterone signaling, but it is undetermined the detail. Thus, we try to analyse the RNA-seq using the luminal and cervix epithelium from the pre-implantation stage between WT and implantation failure model mice for understanding of the mechanism of receptivity association with these dynamic uterus changes at the point of progesterone signaling.
In the results, the expression of 300 genes changed between control and implantation failure mice, and the expression of LIF gene may be as the receptive marker in the cervix epithelium, which are easy to collect than endometrium.
