Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of genes in the canine pre-implantation uterus and embryo: implications for an active role of the embryo before and during invasion.
Sabine Schäfer-Somi,HB Beceriklisoy,S Budik,Halit Kanca,O. A. Aksoy,Bülent Polat,Yunus Cetin,Serhan Serhat Ay,Selim Aslan +8 more
TL;DR: It is suppose that the canine embryo, like its human counterpart, actively initiates measures to prevent attacks from the maternal immune system to prepare its own adhesion, nidation, growth and further development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of genes involved in the embryo–maternal interaction in the early-pregnant canine uterus
Ewa Kautz,Aykut Gram,Selim Aslan,Serhan Serhat Ay,Murat Selçuk,Halit Kanca,Ece Koldaş,Eser Akal,Kübra Karakaş,Murat Findik,Alois Boos,Mariusz P. Kowalewski +11 more
TL;DR: The uterine expression of possible decidualization markers was investigated during the pre-implantation stage of pregnancy and in the corresponding nonpregnant controls and the expression of selected genes associated with blastocyst development and/or implantation was investigated in embryos flushed from the uteri of bitches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 activity in the canine uterus before and during placentation.
HB Beceriklisoy,Ingrid Walter,Sabine Schäfer-Somi,Ingrid Miller,Halit Kanca,H. Izgur,Selim Aslan +6 more
TL;DR: The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the presence and localization of MMP-2 and -9 by means of RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry (IHC) within the canine uterus from the pre-implantation stage until mid-gestation and to determine MMP -9 activities by Means of zymography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular endothelial (VEGF) and epithelial growth factor (EGF) as well as platelet-activating factor (PAF) and receptors are expressed in the early pregnant canine uterus.
Sabine Schäfer-Somi,S Sabitzer,Dieter Klein,E Reinbacher,Halit Kanca,HB Beceriklisoy,O. A. Aksoy,İbrahim Küçükaslan,HC Macun,Selim Aslan +9 more
TL;DR: In the course of pregnancy, significantly higher expression of PAF and PAFR as well as VEGF and VEGFR2 during the pre-implantation stage than in all other stages and a strong upregulation of EGF during implantation were characteristic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of abortion with aglepristone significantly changed the expression of progesterone and estrogen receptors in canine endometrial stromal cells
Halit Kanca,Ingrid Walter,Sabine Schäfer-Somi,S. Budik,Serhan Serhat Ay,İbrahim Küçükaslan,Ali Reha Ağaoğlu,H. Izgur,Selim Aslan +8 more
TL;DR: Differences between groups point to an up-regulation of TPR- and a down- regulation of TER-scores in endometrial stromal cells at different uterine sites during resorption/abortion, which indicates a special role of these cells.
