ABSTRACT
Endometritis adversely affects the ability of cattle to reproduce and significantly reduces milk production. The is mainly composed of epithelial and stromal cells, and they produce the first immune response to invading pathogens. However, most of the epithelial cells are disrupted, and stromal cells are exposed to an inflammatory environment when endometritis occurs, especially postpartum. Many bacteria and toxins start attacking stromal cell due to loss of epithelium, which stimulates Toll-like receptor (TLRs) on stromal cells and causes upregulated expression of cytokines. Understanding the genome-wide characterization of bovine endometritis will be beneficial for prevention and treatment of endometritis. In this study, whole-transcriptomic gene changes in bovine endometrial stromal cells (BESCs) treated with LPS were compared with those treated with PBS (control group) and were analyzed by RNA sequencing. Compared with the control group, a total of 366 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the LPS-induced group (234 upregulated and 132 downregulated genes), with an adjusted P < 0.05 by DESeq. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs were most enriched in interleukin-1 receptor binding, regulation of cell activation, and lymphocyte-activated interleukin-12 production. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis revealed DEGs were most enriched in the TNF signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, NF-κB signaling pathway, and chemokine signaling pathway. The results of this study unraveled BESCs affected with LPS transcriptome profile alterations, which may have a significant effect on treatment inflammation by comprehending molecular mechanisms and authenticating unique genes related to endometritis.
