EMBRYO MORTALITY30-40% of fertilization are lost due to embryo demise.Nearly 65% of all embryonic loss occurs between days 6-18 days of pregnancyFactors affecting Embryonic deathgenotypic factorsNutritional effectsEffects of energy and proteinConceptus signalRole of progesteroneInfectious agentsother possible factors, age breed and affect of male
Implantation Window Implantation of the conceptus in domestic farm species
Interferon tau • Interferon tau 172 a.acid protein secreted by the trophectoderm of the conceptus ( Bazer et al.,1991) • Gives the first pregnancy signal (Roberts et al.,1999) • Prevents development of the endometrial luteolytic mechanism (Spencer and Bazer,2002)
Mechanism of action Interferon tau suppress estrogen receptor and oxytocin (OTR) expression at transcription level Oxytocin induces uterine release of luteolytic prostaglandin F2alpha pulses Prostaglandin F2alpha result in structural and functional regression of the ovarian CL ( Fleming et al.,2001 )
Hypothetical model of IFN-tau stimulated gene activation and effects on molecules involved in the PGF2a synthetic pathway
Relative changes in circulating hormone levels and ovarian changes • Changes in endometrial hormone response during the estrous cycle
Relative changes in circulating hormone levels during early pregnancy • Changes in endometrial hormone response during early pregnancy
Transcription of the ER and OTR genes are lower in pregnantand IFN treated endometrium ( T.H.E.Spencer et al.,1996 )
Variants of interferon tau gene • Multiple gene encodes for IFN-Tau • Genes are not expressed equivalently • Variants shows considerable differences in biological activity (Alan D Eley,1998)
Differences in amounts of mRNA for variants of ovlFN-r relative to actin mRNA during conceptus development. (Alan D Eley,1998)
In Vitro secretion of IFN-Tau bovine • Cultured with TCM 199 shows less secretion of IFN • Cultured with B2 &BRL shows high IFN secretion • Hatched blastocysts shows high secretion of IFN than non-hatched ones (MiodragStojkovic,1995)
Recombinant interferon –tau • Non glycoslated protein produced in E.coli • Oestrus cycle synchronized • Inter-oestrus interval increases up to six days due to increase in CL life span ( E.C.L.Bleach et al.,1998 )
