PG - 2144-2155 LID - 10.1021/acs.jproteome.8b00077 [doi] AB - In ruminants, the period from fertilization to implantation is relatively prolonged, and the survival of embryos depends on uterine secretions known as histotroph. Our objective was to determine if the pre-breeding diet affected histotroph proteomes in beef cattle. Cows were assigned to one of four diets: a control diet (CON), a high-protein diet (PROT), a high-fat diet (OIL), or a high-protein and high-fat diet (PROT + OIL). After 185 days on these diets, an intravaginal progesterone implant (CIDR) was inserted for 7 days. At 9 days after CIDR removal, animals with a corpus luteum were selected ( n = 16; 4 per treatment). Proteins were isolated from the histotroph collected by uterine lavage and analyzed with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Over 2000 proteins were expressed ( n >/= 3 cows per treatment), with 1239 proteins being common among all of the groups. There were 20, 37, 85, and 123 proteins unique to CON, PROT + OIL, PROT, and OIL, respectively. Relative to CON, 23, 14, and 51 proteins were differentially expressed in PROT + OIL, PROT, and OIL, respectively. Functional analysis found that 53% of histotroph proteins were categorized as extracellular exosome, 3.28% as cell-cell adhesion, and 17.4% in KEGG metabolic pathways. Differences in proteomes among treatments support the idea that pre-breeding diet affects histotroph. Understanding the impact of diet on histotroph proteins may help improve conception rates.
