Summary Growth hormone (GH) plays an important role in early embryo development. It has been shown to activate multiple pathways, the most comprehensively studied being the STAT/JAK (Signal transducers and activators of transcription/Janus kinase) pathway. The objective of the present study was to investigate STAT5A gene expression during early bovine embryogenesis. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to measure the abundance of STAT5A transcripts. The mRNA was present at all…

TLDR
The body of work described here demonstrates the extent to which this dialogue enables the coordination of the development of the conceptus with respect to the establishment of embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues as well as in preparation for implantation.

Expression of growth hormone and its transcription factor, Pit‐1, in early bovine development
TLDR
Results suggest that transcription of the bGH gene begins at the 8‐ to 16‐cell stage in bovine embryos, possibly under control of the transcription factor, Pit‐1, and that RFLP analysis of thebGH gene can be used to determine parental origin of transcripts in early embryonic development.
Involvement of the STAT5 Signaling Pathway in the Regulation of Mouse Preimplantation Development
TLDR
Investigation of the STAT5 signaling pathway in mouse embryos suggested that STAT5 proteins function in preimplantation development by mediating the signals from cytokines.
STAT signaling is active during early mammalian development
TLDR
The identification of activated Stat3 demonstrates that STAT signaling functions during early postimplantation development in the mouse are likely to be important during early embryogenesis.
Gene expression and protein distribution of leptin and its receptor in bovine oocytes and preattachment embryos produced in vitro.
TLDR
The expression and distribution patterns of LEP and LEPR in bovine oocytes and in vitro-produced embryos are shown for the first time and suggests leptin's potential role during early mammalian development and implantation.
Short communication: expression and alternative splicing of POU1F1 pathway genes in preimplantation bovine embryos.
TLDR
It is hypothesized that proper gene expression level in the developing embryo is essential for embryo survival and pregnancy success, and splice variants of OPN and STAT5A revealed expression patterns different from the total expression values of these genes.
Growth hormone inhibits apoptosis in in vitro produced bovine embryos
TLDR
The results suggest that GH acts as survival factor during in vitro culture and reduces apoptosis by altering the bax to bcl‐2 ratio during early embryogenesis.
Quantification of Housekeeping Transcript Levels During the Development of Bovine Preimplantation Embryos1
Abstract In mammals, the study of gene expression in the preimplantation embryo has been difficult because the standard procedures used to quantify mRNA generally require large amounts of starting
Topography of growth hormone receptor expression in the bovine embryo
Abstract Using in situ hybridization, mRNA encoding the growth hormone receptor (GHR) was localized in preimplantation embryos produced by in vitro fertilization (IVF) as well as in 30- to 70-day-old
Monoallelic maternal expression of STAT5A affects embryonic survival in cattle
TLDR
The results imply that STAT5A affects embryonic survival in a manner influenced by developmental stage and allele parent of origin, and this gene is primarily monoallelically expressed in early embryonic stages but biallelicly expressed in later fetal stages.
Cell Arrest and Cell Death in Mammalian Preimplantation Development: Lessons from the Bovine Model
TLDR
Morphological findings as well as transcript levels measured for important apoptosis-related genes are in conflict with the view that classical caspase-mediated apoptosis is the major cause of cell death in early bovine development.
