Article Synopsis
- Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) play key roles in cellular growth, pluripotency, and development, found to be active in pre-implantation embryos of mice and humans.
- A study aimed to investigate the expression of bovine endogenous retroviruses BERV-K1 and BERV-K2 in pre-implantation bovine embryos, revealing their expression at various embryonic stages.
- Results indicate that both BERV-K1 and BERV-K2 are more highly expressed in early stages (two-cell to 16-cell) with totipotent/pluripotent characteristics, while expression levels drop in the more developed blastocyst stage, suggesting a similar function of ERVs in bovine embryos as seen in humans and mice
