However, whether SP has any long-term effect on alterations in endometrial molecular and cellular processes is not known. In this study, using microarray analyses, differential changes in endometrial transcriptome were evaluated after Day 6 of SP-infusion (6DPI) or Day 6 of pregnancy as compared to corresponding day of estrous cycle. Both, pregnancy and SP induced significant changes in the endometrial transcriptome and most of these changes were specific for a particular group. Functional analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis revealed that inhibition in immune response was affected by both pregnancy and SP infusion. Long-term effects of SP included differential expression of genes involved in inhibition of apoptosis, production of reactive oxygen species and steroid biosynthesis, and activation of processes such as proliferation of connective tissue cells and microvascular endothelial cells. Moreover, interleukin-2 and interferon-\u03b3 was identified to be responsible for regulating expression of many DEGs identified on 6DPI. The present study provides evidence for the long-term effects of SP on porcine endometrium that can be beneficial for pregnancy success.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes11111302","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,3]],"date-time":"2020-11-03T20:46:52Z","timestamp":1604436412000},"page":"1302","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Prolonged Effect of Seminal Plasma on Global Gene Expression in Porcine Endometrium"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9761-2761","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marek","family":"Bogacki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research of Polish Academy of Sciences in Olsztyn, 10-748 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Beenu Moza","family":"Jalali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research of Polish Academy of Sciences in Olsztyn, 10-748 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Wieckowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research of Polish Academy of Sciences in Olsztyn, 10-748 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8213-4381","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monika M.","family":"Kaczmarek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research of Polish Academy of Sciences in Olsztyn, 10-748 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"137","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-319-15856-3_8","article-title":"Implantation and Establishment of Pregnancy in the Pig","volume":"216","author":"Geisert","year":"2015","journal-title":"Adv.
