摘要: Uterine infections reduce ruminant reproductive efficiency. Reproductive dysfunction caused by infusion of Gram-negative bacteria is characterized by the failure of embryo implantation and reduced conception rates. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, is highly abortogenic. In this study, the effects of LPS infusion on the endometrial receptivity of sheep were studied during three critical periods of embryo implantation. The results showed that LPS infusion on d12, d16, and d20 of pregnancy in vivo interfered with the expression of prostaglandins (PGs) and affected the expression of adhesion-related factors (ITGB1/3/5, SPP1), key implantation genes (HOXA10, HOXA11 and LIF), and progestational elongation genes (ISG15, RSAD2 and CXCL10) during embryo implantation. In addition, after LPS infusion on d12, d16, and d20, the phosphorylation level of STAT1 significantly decreased and the protein expression level of IRF9 significantly increased on d12, suggesting that LPS infusion in sheep impairs endometrial receptivity through the JAK2/STAT1 pathway. Sheep endometrial epithelial cells were treated with 17 beta-estrogen, progesterone, and/or interferon-tau in vitro to mimic the receptivity of the endometrium during early pregnancy for validation. LPS and the p-STAT1 inhibitor fludarabine were both added to the model, which resulted in reduced p-STAT1 protein expression, significant inhibition of PGE2/PGF2 alpha, and significant suppression of the expression of key embryo implantation genes. Collectively, these results indicate that LPS infusion in sheep on d12, d16, and d20 impairs endometrial receptivity through the JAK2/STAT1 pathway, which is responsible for LPS-associated pregnancy failure.
