RESUMO

The VEGF is a specific endothelial mitogenic factor that promotes feto-maternal cell differentiation in placenta through binding to its receptors (Flt-1 and KDR). Their expression is controlled by autocrine and paracrine mechanisms that are associated to placenta development. The bovine placenta was used in this study as a model due to easiness of evaluation of VEGF system components in different phases of pregnancy. The objective of this study was to analyze the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors expression using the real time PCR technique in the beginning, half and end of pregnancy. Furthermore, placentome samples, interplacentomal areas and corpus luteum were collected in different gestational phases for comparative studies. Placentome of cloned animals were analyzed at 270 days of pregnancy and compared to non-cloned animals in the same phase. The expression of VEGF in the placentome presented a decrease of expression (p < 0.05) in the end of the gestation (270 days) in relation to 90 days. The expression of Flt-1 and of KDR in interplacentomal area was similar from 45 to 90 days of pregnancy with a significant increase (p <0.05) observed at 150 days. In the gestational corpus luteum, the expression of VEGF at 210 days was higher (p ≤ 0.05) in comparison to 90 and 150 days. In the same tissue KDR expression at 90 days was lower (p < 0.05) in relation to 210 days. In conclusion the regulation VEGF varied in relation to its receptors expression in all three studied tissues. Cloned placentomes showed no significant differences in VEGF system expression compared to the placentome of non-cloned animals, suggesting there is an equivalent expression in placentas from cloned animals that came to term.
