Preimplantation growth factor physiology

Abstract: The robust independence of preimplantation embryo development in vitro suggests that the developmental programme is autonomous. The rapid accumulation of evidence during the last decade for participation of many hormones, growth factors and their receptors in these early stages of embryogenesis has challenged this conclusion. In this review, the insulin and epidermal growth factor families, which have been best studied in mice, are used to illustrate the different roles growth factors may play in preimplantati… Show more

“…Maternal diabetes downregulates IR and IGF1R signaling, delays blastocyst development and gastrulation and increases apoptotic cell death in the embryonic disc. The 'double face' of IGFs -growth factor of the embryoblast (Kaye 1997, Markham & Kaye 2003, Navarrete Santos et al 2004a) and pro-apoptotic effects in bovine blastocysts (Velazquez et al 2011) -needs further clarification to improve understanding of potential mechanism(s) of periconceptional programming and diabetogenous embryopathies.…”

“…Glucose levels are low in the oviduct during the early cleavage phase but increase as the embryo enters the uterus to levels more in line with altered embryonic needs following compaction as the embryo increases both its reliance on glucose as an energy substrate and its ability to respond to exogenous growth factors (Kaye 1997). Oviductal and uterine epithelial secretions provide the early embryo with essential nutrients, electrolytes, macromolecules and growth factors required for optimal growth prior to implantation.…”

“…Different cytokines act through one or more downstream pathways, of which the most prominent in embryos are the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase-protein kinase B (PI3K-AKT), Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/ STAT), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. For some cytokine (Kaye 1997;Richter 2008) receptors, ligation activates only PI3K-AKT, while others activate all three signalling pathways ( …”

“…A role for a peptide/protein secretome was inferred from studies showing that the early embryo expressed a range of putative trophic ligands and also their receptors [6,7]. Evidence that the addition of one or more of these ligands to culture media caused an improvement in the rate of embryo development in vitro was indicative of a functional role for their secretion by the embryo [8,9].…”
