Introduction
Microarray-based transcriptional
profiling of both endometrial and
embryonic tissues has been applied
in various species to gain further
insight into the molecular events
underlying embryo-maternal
interactions during MRP [11–13].
The objective of the present
investigation was to profile mRNA
transcripts of Day-8, -10, -12, and
-14 equine conceptuses using a
custom-designed whole-genome
microarray. Time points were
chosen to analyze conceptuses
retrieved before the onset of MRP
(i.e., Day 8), during the onset of
MRP (i.e., Day 10), and during
MRP (i.e., Days 12 and 14). Array
data for selected genes were
validated using quantitative RT-
PCR (qRT-PCR) and expression of
proteins of interest was confirmed
using immunohistochemistry
(IHC) and Western blotting.
