  "description": "WNT signaling pathway plays important roles in reproductive events. Aims were to (1) determine presence of WNT genes and their antagonists in equine endometrium; and (2) to evaluate their expression profiles during early pregnancy. Endometrial biopsies were obtained from mares on day of ovulation (d0, n = 4) and on days of 14 (P14, n = 4), 18 (P18, n = 4), 22 (P22, n = 4) of early pregnancy. Biopsies were also collected from cyclic mares during late diestrus (LD, on day of 13.5-14, n = 4) and after luteolysis in estrus phase (AL on day of 17.5-18, is = 4) of the cycle. PCR was used to detect expression of genes studied and then relative expression levels were quantified using real-time PCR analysis. A mixed model was fitted on the normalized data and least significant difference test (alpha = 0.05) was employed. Eleven WNT genes (WNT2, WNT2B, WNT4, WNT5A, WNT5B, WNT7A, WNT8A, WNT9B, WNT10B, WNT11 and WNT16) and their antagonists (SFRP1, SFRP2, SFRP5, DKK1, DKK2 and WIF-1) were detected in equine endometrium. Compared to d0, WNT2, WNT5B, WNT7A and SFRP1 expressions were downregulated by the pregnancy while DKK1 was upregulated. WNT5A, WNT11 and WIF-1 were upregulated on P14 and P18. but WNT2B increased only on P14. When LD and P14 were compared, level of WNT8A decreased on P14 while increase in WNT4 level on P14 was slightly significant (P < 0.06). Levels of WNT7A and SFRP1 decreased while DKK1 and WIF-1 increased by the pregnancy on P18 compared to AL Moreover, WNT2B, WNT5A, WNT9B, WNT10B, WNT11, WNT16 DKK1 and WIF-1 were upregulated on LD compared to AL whereas WNT4, WNT7A, SFRP1 were downregulated. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that WNT genes and their antagonists appear to be regulated during early pregnancy in equine endometrium possibly due to embryonic factors and/or maternal progesterone.
