Ciliary action performs a critical role in the oviduct (Fallopian tube) during pregnancy establishment through sperm and egg transport. The disruption of normal ciliary function in the oviduct affects oocyte pick-up and is a contributing factor to female infertility. Estrogen is an important regulator of ciliary action in the oviduct and promotes ciliogenesis in several species. Global loss of estrogen receptor α (ESR1) leads to infertility. We have previously shown that ESR1 in the oviductal epithelial cell layer is required for female fertility. Here, we assessed the role of estrogen on transcriptional regulation of ciliated epithelial cells of the oviduct using single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis. We observed minor variations in ciliated cell genes in the proximal region (isthmus and uterotubal junction) of the oviduct. However, 17β-estradiol treatment had little impact on the gene expression profile of ciliated epithelial cells. We also conditionally ablated Esr1 from ciliated epithelial cells of the oviduct (called ciliated Esr1d/d mice). Our studies showed that ciliated Esr1d/d females had fertility rates comparable to control females, did not display any disruptions in preimplantation embryo development or embryo transport to the uterus, and had comparable cilia formation to control females. However, we observed some incomplete deletion of Esr1 in the ciliated epithelial cells, especially in the ampulla region. Nevertheless, our data suggest that ESR1 expression in ciliated cells of the oviduct is dispensable for ciliogenesis and nonessential for female fertility in mice.
