Description Source : E.coli. PAEP Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 185 amino acids (19-180a.a) and having a molecular mass of 21kDa. PAEP is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Progesterone-Associated Endometrial Protein (PAEP) is a member of the kernel lipocalin super family whose members share rather low sequence similarity but have highly conserved exon/intron structure and three-dimensional protein folding. Most lipocalins are clustered on the long arm of chromosome 9. PAEP protein has been previously referred to as pregnancy-associated endometrial alpha-2-globulin, placental protein 14, and glycodelin.

Unravelling Genetic Variation Underlying De Novo-Synthesis Of
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Unravelling genetic variation underlying de novo-synthesis of bovine milk fatty acids Received: 18 July 2017 Tim Martin Knutsen1, Hanne Gro Olsen1, Valeria Tafntseva2, Morten Svendsen3, Accepted: 18 January 2018 Achim Kohler2, Matthew Peter Kent1 & Sigbjørn Lien1 Published: xx xx xxxx The relative abundance of specifc fatty acids in milk can be important for consumer health and manufacturing properties of dairy products. Understanding of genes controlling milk fat synthesis may contribute to the development of dairy products with high quality and nutritional value. This study aims to identify key genes and genetic variants afecting de novo synthesis of the short- and medium- chained fatty acids C4:0 to C14:0. A genome-wide association study using 609,361 SNP markers and 1,811 animals was performed to detect genomic regions afecting fatty acid levels. These regions were further refned using sequencing data to impute millions of additional genetic variants. Results suggest associations of PAEP with the content of C4:0, AACS with the content of fatty acids C4:0-C6:0, NCOA6 or ACSS2 with the longer chain fatty acids C6:0-C14:0, and FASN mainly associated with content of C14:0. None of the top-ranking markers caused amino acid shifts but were mostly situated in putatively regulating regions and suggested a regulatory role of the QTLs. Sequencing mRNA from bovine milk confrmed the expression of all candidate genes which, combined with knowledge of their roles in fat biosynthesis, supports their potential role in de novo synthesis of bovine milk fatty acids. Bovine milk is an important source of many nutrients including proteins, fat, minerals, vitamins and bioactive lipid components.

Serum Biomarkers of Tubal Ectopic Pregnancy: Current Candidates and Future Possibilities
REPRODUCTIONREVIEW Serum biomarkers of tubal ectopic pregnancy: current candidates and future possibilities Joanna Cartwright, W Colin Duncan, Hilary O D Critchley and Andrew W Horne Division of Reproductive and Developmental Sciences, Simpson Centre for Reproductive Health, The University of Edinburgh, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, 51 Little France Crescent, Edinburgh EH16 4SB, UK Correspondence should be addressed to A W Horne; Email: [email protected] Abstract Ectopic pregnancy remains a considerable cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Currently, it is diagnosed using a combination of transvaginal ultrasound and serial serum b-human chorionic gonadotrophin levels. Diagnosis is often delayed and these tests are time-consuming and costly, both psychologically to the patient and financially to health services. The development of a biomarker that can differentiate a tubal ectopic from an intrauterine implantation is therefore important. In the pre-genomic era, a one-by-one scientific approach has revealed over 20 candidate biomarkers that could be used as a test to diagnose ectopic pregnancy although at present their clinical utility is very limited. These biomarkers cluster into themes: markers of abnormal embryo/trophoblast growth, markers of abnormal corpus luteum function, markers of a growing pregnancy in the Fallopian tube, markers of inflammation and peritoneal irritation, and uterine markers of normal implantation. It is likely that this thematic approach will facilitate the identification of newer biomarkers using

Available online at www.annclinlabsci.org Annals of Clinical & Laboratory Science, vol. 48, no. 1, 2018 55 Development of New mRNA Markers for the Identification of Menstrual Blood Qiong Liang1, Hongyu Sun2, Xinyao Wu2, Xueling Ou2, Guoquan Gao3, Yi Jin1, and Dayue Tong2 1Department of Pathology, the Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, 2Forensic Biology Section, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, and 3Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Zhongshan School of Medicine, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China Abstract. Background. The aim of this study was to screen 3 mRNA markers (i.e., PAEP, LAPR3, and HOXA10) with diverse expression in different body fluids and to develop a method for the identification of menstrual blood using these mRNA markers. Methods. Body fluid (i.e., venous blood, menstrual blood, semen, and saliva) samples were collected and prepared under differing environmental conditions (tem- perature, humidity and time), and RNA was extracted and reverse transcribed. The expression specificity of these markers was assessed using TaqMan probe qPCR. Results. A high mean cycle threshold value cor- responds to a lower expression level. The mean cycle threshold value of the LAPR3, HOXA10, and PAEP genes are 8.37, 8.73, 4.67 in menstrual blood respectively. LAPR3 and PAEP were only expressed in men- strual blood. HOXA10 were expressed in blood, menstrual blood, and semen. No significant differences were found while the mean cycle threshold of MMP11 and PAEP were compared in the menstrual blood under common environmental conditions. There were no observed differences in the expression of the tar- get genes in women of different ages and at different menstrual phases.

CXCL12 Enhances Pregnancy Outcome Via Improvement Of
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN CXCL12 enhances pregnancy outcome via improvement of endometrial receptivity in mice Hwa Seon Koo1, Min‑Ji Yoon2, Seon‑Hwa Hong1, Jungho Ahn2, Hwijae Cha2, Danbi Lee2, Ji‑Eun Ko1, Hwang Kwon1, Dong Hee Choi1, Kyung‑Ah Lee2, Jung‑Jae Ko2 & Youn‑Jung Kang1,2,3* Successful pregnancy inevitably depends on the implantation of a competent embryo into a receptive endometrium. Although many substances have been suggested to improve the rate of embryo implantation targeting enhancement of endometrial receptivity, currently there rarely are efective evidence‑based treatments to prevent or cure this condition. Here we strongly suggest minimally‑invasive intra‑uterine administration of embryo‑secreted chemokine CXCL12 as an efective therapeutic intervention. Chemokine CXCL12 derived from pre‑ and peri‑implanting embryos signifcantly enhances the rates of embryo attachment and promoted endothelial vessel formation and sprouting in vitro. Consistently, intra‑uterine CXCL12 administration in C57BL/6 mice improved endometrial receptivity showing increased integrin β3 and its ligand osteopontin, and induced endometrial angiogenesis displaying increased numbers of vessel formation near the lining of endometrial epithelial layer with higher CD31 and CD34 expression. Furthermore, intra‑uterine CXCL12 application dramatically promoted the rates of embryo implantation with no morphologically retarded embryos. Thus, our present study provides a novel evidence that improved uterine endometrial receptivity and enhanced angiogenesis induced by embryo‑derived chemokine CXCL12 may aid to develop a minimally‑invasive therapeutic strategy for clinical treatment or supplement for the patients with repeated implantation failure with less risk. Even though a remarkable improvement of assisted reproductive technology (ART) has been achieved for the last several decades, there are still a number of infertile women experiencing frequent ART failure afer repeated attempts due to many unsolved problems including repeated failure of implantation.
