  • Role of IL-8 and TIMP-2 on term canine trophoblast migration, invasion, and proliferation

    Creator:
    Gullaba, Justine Marie
    Abstract:
    Placental pathologies are not uncommon in dogs. For example, in primiparous bitches, the reported incidence of subinvolution of placental sites is 21% - 100%. Despite years of research in multiple species, the mechanisms regulating late gestation trophoblast behavior in the dog remain unexamined. Therefore, the objective of this study was...

    Fellows, Elizabeth Jane
    Abstract:
    This research investigated gene expression in the canine placenta during the peripartum period. Previous studies have recognized molecular changes that occur in the placenta around the time of placental release in other species, but no study has looked at gene expression in the late gestation canine placenta. Of particular significance...

  • Differential gene expression in the pregnant bovine corpus luteum during maternal recognition of pregnancy

    Creator:
    DuBay, Kristi M.
    Abstract:
    Interferon tau (IFN-τ) is the pregnancy recognition signal secreted by the trophectodermal cells of the developing bovine embryo that prevents luteolysis and maintains critical progesterone production. Recent evidence has suggested in addition to the mechanism of action identified in the uterus, there may be a direct effect of IFN-τ on...
