Characterisation of the Hippo signalling pathway during bovine preimplantation embryo development
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Blastocyst formation is an important milestone during preimplantation embryo development. During murine preimplantation embryogenesis, the Hippo signalling pathway is known to play a significant role in lineage segregation and henceforth the formation of blastocysts. However, the role of this cell signalling pathway during bovine embryogenesis remains unknown. Thus, the aim of the present study was to characterise the Hippo signalling pathway during bovine preimplantation embryo development. mRNA transcripts of Hippo signalling pathway constituents (i.e. crumbs cell polarity complex component 3 (CRB3), mammalian sterile 20-like 1 (MST1), mammalian sterile 20-like 2 (MST2), Yes associated protein 1 (YAP1), transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ)) were observed during all stages of bovine preimplantation embryo development. To evaluate the localisation of Hippo pathway components, bovine embryos at timed stages of development were stained using specific antibodies and observed under a laser confocal microscope. Although MST1/2 proteins were in the cytoplasm during various stages of bovine embryonic development, TAZ and phosphorylated (p-) YAP were detected in the nucleus during the blastocyst stages. Localisation of TAZ and p-YAP proteins was distinct in the bovine compared with mouse model, suggesting that the Hippo signalling pathway is regulated differently in early bovine embryos.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
