Abstract

Background: Nesfatin-1 is a neuropeptide that regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and may play a role in uterus function. It is co-expressed with other peptides, such as phoenixin, which can influence sex hormone secretion. Our previous research has confirmed that phoenixin-14 is involved in the development of cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH) and pyometra in dogs. Therefore, based on the similarities and interactions between these neuropeptides, we hypothesized that nesfatin-1 might also regulate the reproductive system in dogs. This study aimed to determine the expression of nesfatin-1 and its interaction with phoenixin-14 in dogs with CEH or pyometra compared to healthy females, and concerning animals' body condition score (BCS 4-5/9 vs. BCS > 5/9).

Results: The analysis of nesfatin-1 in the uterus of bitches consisted of qPCR, western blot and immunofluorescence assays, and ELISAs. The results showed significantly higher nesfatin-1 encoding gene, nucleobindin-2 mRNA (Nucb2) and nesfatin-1 protein expression in overweight females and those suffering from CEH or pyometra compared to healthy animals. The immunoreactivity of nesfatin-1 was elevated in the uteri of bitches with higher BCS > 5/9. Moreover, nesfatin-1 blood concentrations increased in all examined overweight bitches. In the case of phoenixin signals, we found opposite results, regardless of the female body condition score.

Conclusion: The etiology of CEH and pyometra are not fully known, although we have expanded the level of knowledge with respect to the possible interaction of nesfatin-1 and phoenixin in female dogs' uteri. They interact oppositely. With increasing female body weight, the expression of nesfatin-1 in the uterus and its peripheral blood concentration increased. However, for female dogs affected by CEH and pyometra, a decreased level of phoenixin-14, irrespective of their body condition score is characteristic. This knowledge could be crucial in the development of biomarkers for these conditions, which may lead to earlier recognition.

囊性子宫内膜增生症和子宫脓肿雌性犬的 Nesfatin-1 表达和血浆浓度及其与凤凰素-14 的可能相互作用。
背景:Nesfatin-1 是一种调节下丘脑-垂体-性腺轴的神经肽,可能在子宫功能中发挥作用。它与凤凰素等其他多肽共同表达,可影响性激素分泌。我们之前的研究证实,凤凰素-14 参与了狗的子宫内膜囊性增生症(CEH)和子宫脓肿的发病。因此,基于这些神经肽之间的相似性和相互作用,我们推测nesfatin-1也可能调控狗的生殖系统。本研究旨在确定与健康雌性犬相比,患有CEH或子宫脓肿的犬体内nesfatin-1的表达及其与凤凰素-14的相互作用,以及动物的体况评分(BCS 4-5/9 vs. BCS > 5/9):结果:对母犬子宫中内司蛋白-1的分析包括qPCR、Western印迹和免疫荧光检测以及ELISA。结果表明,与健康动物相比,超重雌性动物和患有 CEH 或脓子宫的雌性动物的 nesfatin-1 编码基因、nucleobindin-2 mRNA (Nucb2) 和 nesfatin-1 蛋白表达量明显较高。BCS>5/9的母犬子宫内的nesfatin-1免疫活性升高。此外,在所有受检的超重母畜中,nesfatin-1的血药浓度都有所升高。在凤蝶素信号方面,我们发现了与雌性体况评分无关的相反结果:结论:虽然我们对母犬子宫中内司蛋白-1和凤凰素之间可能存在的相互作用有了更多的了解,但CEH和子宫脓肿的病因还不完全清楚。它们的相互作用是相反的。随着雌犬体重的增加,nesfatin-1在子宫中的表达量及其外周血浓度也随之增加。然而,对于受 CEH 和子宫脓肿影响的雌性犬,无论其身体状况评分如何,凤凰素-14 的水平都会下降。这些知识对于开发这些病症的生物标记物至关重要,可能有助于更早地识别这些病症。
