Kisspeptin has pivotal functions for gonadotropin-releasing hormone secretion and plays integrated roles in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. However, little is known about the peripheral expression of kisspeptin in ruminants, especially in the female reproductive tract. Here, the objectives of the current study were to investigate the spatial localization of kisspeptin and mRNA expression of Kiss1 and its receptor (Kiss1r) in the fallopian tubes (FT) and uterus of goats at varied reproductive activity (cyclic versus true anoestrous goats, n=6, each). Specimens of the uterus and FT were collected and fixed using paraformaldehyde to investigate the localizations of kisspeptin in the selected tissues by immunohistochemistry. Another set of samples was snape-frozen to identify the expressions of mRNAs encoding Kiss1 and Kiss1r using real-time PCR. Results revealed immunolocalizations of kisspeptin in the uterus and the FT. The staining of kisspeptin was found mainly in the mucosal epithelium of the uterus the FT, and the endometrial glands. Very intense staining of kisspeptin was found in the uterine and FT specimens in the true anoestrous goats compared to that in cyclic ones. The expression of mRNA encoding <em>Kiss1</em> gene was significantly higher in the uterine specimen of cyclic goats (1.00±0.09) compared to that in the true anoestrous goats (0.62±0.08) (P ˂0.05), while the expression of mRNA encoding <em>Kiss1r</em> was significantly (P ˂0.001) higher in the uterine tissues of true anoestrous goats (1.78±0.17) compared to that in cyclic ones (1.00±0.11). In conclusion, immunohistochemical localization of kisspeptin and the expression of mRNA encoding <em>Kiss1/Kiss1r</em> revealed spatial changes in the uterus and FT of goats according to the reproductive potential of goats (cyclic versus true anoestrous goats). However, the definitive local role of kisspeptin in the uterus and FT need further investigation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11356,"journal":{"name":"Domestic animal endocrinology","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 106850"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140608866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Singleton ram lambs (UN:9; C:12; ON:6) were monitored from birth until 8 months of age, including birth weight, weekly weights, weight gain, body mass index (BMI), and circulating testosterone. After weaning, monthly scrotal circumference and subcutaneous fat depth were measured. Semen morphology and motility were evaluated at 7 and 8 months of age. Birth weight, weight gain, and BMI at birth and weaning were not significantly different among nutritional treatments. None of the pre-conceptional diets affected body weight change from weaning until 36 weeks of age, BMI, fat depth, or scrotal circumference across the experiment. A sustained rise in plasma testosterone concentrations was detected when ram lambs were, on average, 82 days old and 37 kg. Both testosterone concentrations and scrotal circumference were positively correlated to body weight regardless of treatment group. In addition, seminal parameters did not differ among treatments, but a transient increase in plasma testosterone at 18 weeks of age was observed in ON ram lambs compared to control rams.

Ciglitazone specifically binds to peroxisome proliferator−activated receptor−<em>γ</em> (<em>PPARγ</em>), thereby promoting adipocyte differentiation. As a natural ligand of <em>PPARγ</em>, oleic acid (OA) can promote the translocation of <em>PPARγ</em> into the nucleus, regulate the expression of downstream genes, and promote adipocyte differentiation. We hypothesized that ciglitazone and oleic acid interact with insulin to enhance bovine preadipocyte differentiation. Preadipocytes were cultured 96 h in differentiation medium containing 10 mg/L insulin (I), 10 mg/L insulin + 10 µM cycloglitazone (IC), 10 mg/L insulin + 100 µM oleic acid (IO), or 10 mg/L insulin + 10 µM cycloglitazone+100 µM oleic acid (ICO). Control preadipocytes (CON) were cultured in differentiation medium (containing 5% fetal calf serum). The effects on the differentiation of Yanbian cattle preadipocytes were examined using molecular and transcriptomic techniques, including differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. I, IC, IO, and ICO treatments produced higher concentrations of triglycerides (TAG) and lipid droplet accumulation in preadipocytes compared with CON treatment (<em>P</em> < 0.05). Co−treatment of insulin and <em>PPARγ</em> agonists significantly increased the expression of genes involved in regulating adipogenesis and fatty acid synthesis. (<em>P</em> < 0.05). Differential expression analysis identified 1488, 1764, 1974 and 1368 DEGs in the I, IC, IO and ICO groups, respectively. KEGG pathway analysis revealed DEGs mainly enriched in <em>PPAR</em> signalling, <em>FOXO</em> signaling pathway and fatty acid metabolism. These results indicate that OA, as <em>PPARγ</em> agonist, can more effectively promote the expression of bovine lipogenesis genes and the content of TAG and adiponectin when working together with insulin, and stimulate the differentiation of bovine preadipocytes. These findings provide a basis for further screening of relevant genes and transcription factors in intramuscular fat deposition and meat quality to enhance breeding programs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11356,"journal":{"name":"Domestic animal endocrinology","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 106848"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140341348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the estrous cycle, the oviduct is affected by ovarian sex hormones, resulting in changes aimed at maintaining an appropriate microenvironment. Normal cell migration is tightly regulated, its role being essential for the development and maintenance of organ and tissue functions as well as for regeneration following injury. Due to their involvement in focal contact formations, focal adhesion kinase (PTK2) and paxillin (PXN) are key proteins in the study of cell migration and adhesion. The objective of this work was to compare the expression of <em>PTK2</em> and <em>PXN</em> in oviductal cells along the estrous cycle and to determine if their expression is regulated by the presence of 17-β estradiol (E<sub>2</sub>) and/or progesterone (P<sub>4</sub>). No transcripts of <em>PTK2</em> or of <em>PXN</em> were detected in cells corresponding to the luteal phase. Additionally, hormonal stimulation experiments on bovine oviductal cell cultures (BOECs) were carried out, where P<sub>4</sub> inhibited the expression of both genes. Migration assays demonstrated that P<sub>4</sub> reduced BOECs migration capacity. P<sub>4</sub> treatment also reduced cell adhesion, while E<sub>2</sub> increased the number of adhered cells. In conclusion, the presence of E<sub>2</sub> and P<sub>4</sub> regulates the expression of genes involved in the formation of focal contacts and modifies the migration and adhesion of BOECs. Understanding the effect of steroid hormones on BOECs is critical to grasp the impact of steroid control on oviductal function and its contribution to establishing successful pregnancies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11356,"journal":{"name":"Domestic animal endocrinology","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 106839"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140021146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to establish a protocol for isolation of islets of Langerhans from pancreata of cats euthanized due to disease, and to evaluate insulin secretion responses to various physiological and pharmacological stimuli. Collagenase digestion of pancreatic tissue from 13 non-diabetic cats and two cats with diabetic ketoacidosis yielded individual islets surrounded by a layer of exocrine tissue that was reduced after two days in culture. Histological examination showed islet amyloid in pancreatic biopsies from most non-diabetic and in one diabetic cat. Islets from non-diabetic cats cultured at 5.5 mM glucose responded with increased insulin secretion to 16.7 mM glucose, 30 mM K<sup>+</sup> and 20 µM of the sulfonylurea glipizide (2-3 times basal secretion at 3 mM glucose). The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist exendin-4 (100 nM) had no effect under basal conditions but potentiated glucose-triggered insulin release. Only one of nine islet batches from diabetic cats released detectable amounts of insulin, which was enhanced by exendin-4. Culture of islets from non-diabetic cats at 25 mM glucose impaired secretion both in response to glucose and K<sup>+</sup> depolarization. In conclusion, we describe a procedure for isolation of islets from cat pancreas biopsies and demonstrate that isolated cat islets secrete insulin in response to glucose and antidiabetic drugs.
