Dynamic changes in the endometrium are crucial for establishing early pregnancy in ruminants. Blastocyst elongation and implantation require hormones and nutrients to be secreted from the maternal endometrium. The fatty acid-binding protein FABP4 is a widely expressed fatty acid transport protein that promotes cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and is involved in conceptus implantation. However, the mechanism underlying the functional regulation of endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) by FABP4 during ovine peri-implantation remains unclear. We simulated hormonal changes in vitro in sheep EECs (SEECs) during the peri-implantation period and found that it elevated FABP4 expression. FABP4 inhibition significantly reduced cell migration, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and autophagy, suggesting that FABP4 regulates endometrial function in sheep. Moreover, the FABP4 inhibitor BMS309403 counteracted hormone-mediated functional changes in SEECs, and an endoplasmic reticulum stress activator and autophagy inhibitor reversed the abnormal secretion of prostaglandins induced by FABP4 inhibition. These results suggest that FABP4 affects ovine endometrial function during early gestation by regulating endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy in SEECs.
在反刍动物中,子宫内膜的动态变化对建立早期妊娠至关重要。囊胚的伸长和着床需要母体子宫内膜分泌的激素和营养物质。脂肪酸结合蛋白 FABP4 是一种广泛表达的脂肪酸转运蛋白,它促进细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭,并参与胚胎着床。然而,FABP4 在绵羊植入前期间对子宫内膜上皮细胞(EEC)的功能调节的机制尚不清楚。我们在体外模拟了绵羊 EEC(SEEC)在植入前期间的激素变化,发现它能上调 FABP4 的表达。FABP4 抑制显著减少细胞迁移、内质网应激和自噬,表明 FABP4 调节绵羊子宫内膜的功能。此外,FABP4 抑制剂 BMS309403 拮抗了激素介导的 SEEC 功能变化,内质网应激激活剂和自噬抑制剂逆转了 FABP4 抑制诱导的前列腺素异常分泌。这些结果表明,FABP4 通过调节 SEEC 中的内质网应激和自噬来影响绵羊早期妊娠的子宫内膜功能。
