Genotype
MGI:6281662

• Allelic Composition: Hdac3^tm1.1Eno/Hdac3^tm1.1Eno; Pgr^tm2(cre)Lyd/Pgr⁺
• Genetic Background: involves: 129S/SvEv * 129S1/Sv * 129X1/SvJ * C57BL/6

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

reproductive system

reproductive system phenotype ( J:269518 )

♀N • females exhibit normal ovulation, fertilization, and ovarian histology relative to control mice

abnormal decidualization ( J:269518 )

♀ • at day 5.5 of gestation (GD 5.5), embryos are free-floating within the uterine lumen and no decidual cells are observed, unlike in control uteri

♀ • following artificially induced decidualization, the ratio of uterine weight to body weight is significantly lower than that in control mice, indicating a decidual defect; mRNA expression of decidualization marker genes Wnt4 and Bmp2 is significantly reduced in the uterus

abnormal endometrium morphology ( J:269518 )

♀ • at GD 3.5, the expression of stromal markers vimentin and COUP-TFII is significantly reduced in endometrial stromal cells

endometrium fibrosis ( J:269518 )

♀ • immunohistochemical staining showed significantly increased collagen type I protein levels in endometrial stromal cells at GD 3.5, suggesting that endometrial stroma is largely replaced by fibrous tissue

abnormal embryo attachment ( J:269518 )

♀ • at GD 5.5, embryos are free-floating within the uterine lumen, unlike in control uteri

failure of embryo implantation ( J:269518 )

♀ • no implantation sites are detected in the uterine horns at GD 5.5

abnormal uterine receptivity ( J:269518 )

♀

abnormal uterus physiology ( J:269518 )

♀ • at GD 3.5, Ki-67 staining revealed significantly altered proliferative responses in the uterine stromal and epithelial compartments: the % of Ki-67+ endometrial epithelial cells is increased whereas the % of Ki-67+ stromal cells is decreased, unlike in control uteri

♀ • expression of estrogen receptor 1 alpha (ESR1) and progesterone receptor (PGR) is significantly reduced in endometrial stromal cells at GD 3.5, indicating decreased progesterone signaling

female infertility ( J:269518 )

♀ • adult females are completely sterile primarily due to a uterine defect

embryo

abnormal decidualization ( J:269518 )

♀ • at day 5.5 of gestation (GD 5.5), embryos are free-floating within the uterine lumen and no decidual cells are observed, unlike in control uteri

♀ • following artificially induced decidualization, the ratio of uterine weight to body weight is significantly lower than that in control mice, indicating a decidual defect; mRNA expression of decidualization marker genes Wnt4 and Bmp2 is significantly reduced in the uterus

homeostasis/metabolism

homeostasis/metabolism phenotype ( J:269518 )

♀N • at GD 3.5, females exhibit normal serum progesterone and estrogen levels relative to control mice

increased collagen level ( J:269518 )

♀ • H&E and Massons trichrome staining revealed increased collagen levels in uterine stromal cells starting at 6 weeks of age

♀ • immunohistochemical staining showed significantly increased collagen type I protein levels in endometrial stromal cells at GD 3.5
