Title	Protein Profile of Bovine Oviductal Extracellular Vesicles
Description	The study of early maternal-embryonic cross-talk remains one of the most challenging topics in reproductive biology. Understanding the physiological mechanisms involved in the interactions between the maternal reproductive tract and the developing embryo is essential for enhancing bovine reproductive efficiency. This complex communication starts within the oviduct, where the modulation of biological processes important for ensuring embryo quality is partially facilitated through extracellular vesicles (EVs). Utilizing a combination of in vivo and in vitro models this study had three main objectives: (i) to examine the protein cargo of EVs isolated from the oviductal fluid (OF) of cyclic and pregnant heifers to understand their role in maternal-embryonic communication in vivo; (ii) to characterize the protein profile of EVs in conditioned medium (CM) resulting from the culture of oviductal explants alone (Exp) or in the presence of 8- to 16-cell stage embryos (Exp+Emb); and (iii) to compare the protein cargo of EVs from Exp with EVs from cyclic heifers and EVs from Exp+Emb with EVs from pregnant heifers. Proteins were considered ‘present’ if detected in at least three out of five replicates and considered ‘exclusive’ if detected in at least three out of five replicates within one group but absent in all samples of other groups. We identified 670 and 1508 proteins in the OF-EVs of cyclic and pregnant heifers, respectively. Among these, 651 proteins were found in both groups, while 42 were exclusive to OF-EVs from the pregnant group. Within the 651 proteins detected in both groups, 32 were identified as differently abundant proteins (DAPs). In pregnant heifers, DAPs were mainly related to genome activation, DNA repair, embryonic cell differentiation, migration, and immune tolerance. In vitro, we identified 859 proteins in the CM-EVs from Exp alone, 627 from Exp+Emb, and 111 in the CM-EVs from Emb alone. In the qualitative analysis between the three groups, 81 proteins were commonly detected, 485 were common to Exp and Exp+Emb, 17 were common to Exp and Emb, 5 were common to Exp+Emb and Emb, 5 were unique to Exp, 6 were unique to Exp+Emb, and none were unique to Emb. Proteins identified when there is an interaction between the oviduct and the embryo in vitro, corresponding to Exp+Emb group, were associated with immune tolerance, structural activity, binding, and cytoskeletal regulation. In vivo and in vitro EVs exhibit distinct qualitative and quantitative protein contents, both when comparing EVs produced in the absence of an embryo (Cyclic and Exp) and those that have undergone embryo-oviduct interaction (Pregnant and Exp+Emb). The observed changes in the protein cargo of EVs due to maternal-embryonic communication in vitro and in vitro suggest that in vivo, the interaction between the embryo and the maternal milieu initiates within the oviduct and is potentially facilitated by EVs and their protein contents.
