Delayed implantation, considered a state of suspended animation, is widespread in mammals. Blastocysts under this condition remain dormant for an extended period but resume implantation competence upon favorable conditions. The underlying mechanism by which extended longevity of dormant blastocysts is maintained is not clearly understood. Using autophagy markers and the well-defined delayed implantation model in mice, we show that autophagy is important for the extended longevity of dormant blastocysts in utero during delayed implantation. However, prolonged dormancy leads to reduced developmental competency of blastocysts and cellular damage with compromised pregnancy outcome. Estrogen supplementation, which activates implantation of dormant blastocysts, induces the formation of multivesicular bodies in the trophectoderm in vivo. Collectively, our results suggest that autophagy is a critical cellular mechanism that is utilized for the prolonged survival of dormant blastocysts.

D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D001755 Blastocyst A post-MORULA preimplantation mammalian embryo that develops from a 32-cell stage into a fluid-filled hollow ball of over a hundred cells. A blastocyst has two distinctive tissues. The outer layer of trophoblasts gives rise to extra-embryonic tissues. The inner cell mass gives rise to the embryonic disc and eventual embryo proper.
