The mechanisms by which synchronized embryonic development to the blastocyst stage, preparation of the uterus to the receptive state and reciprocal embryo-uterine interactions for implantation are coordinated are still unclear. We show here that preimplantation embryo development becomes asynchronous in mice deficient in cannabinoid receptor genes, brain-type (CB1) and/or spleen-type (CB2). Furthermore, while the levels of uterine anandamide (endocannabinoid) and blastocyst CB1 are coordinately downregulated with the onset of uterine receptivity and blastocyst activation prior to implantation, these levels remain high in the non-receptive uterus and dormant blastocysts during delayed implantation, and in pregnant leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) deficient mice with implantation failure. The results suggest that a tight regulation of endocannabinoid signaling is important for synchronizing embryo development with uterine receptivity for implantation. Indeed, this is consistent with our finding that while experimentally induced sustained level of an exogenously administered natural cannabinoid inhibits implantation in wild-type mice, it fails to do so in CB1-/-/CB2-/- double mutant mice. The present study is clinically important because of the widely debated medicinal use of cannabinoids and their reported adverse effects on pregnancy.
