Therefore, these cells are expected to be a powerful tool for modeling diseases and transplantation therapy. Generation of domestic cat iPS cells depending on leukemia inhibitory factor has been reported; however, this strategy may not be optimized. Considering that domestic cats are excellent models for studying spontaneous diseases, iPS cell generation is crucial. In this study, we aimed to derive iPS cells from cat embryonic fibroblasts retrovirally transfected with mouse Oct3/4, Klf4, Sox2, and c-Myc. After transfection, embryonic fibroblasts were reseeded onto inactivated SNL 76/7 and cultured in a medium supplemented with basic fibroblast growth factor. Flat, compact, primary colonies resembling human iPS colonies were observed. Additionally, primary colonies were more frequently observed in the KnockOut Serum Replacement medium than in the fetal bovine serum (FBS) medium. However, enhanced maintenance and proliferation of iPS-like cells occurred in the FBS medium. These iPS-like cells expressed embryonic stem cell markers, had normal karyotypes, proliferated beyond 45 passages, and differentiated into all three germ layers in vitro. Notably, expression of exogenous Oct3/4, Klf4, and Sox2 was silenced in these cells. However, the iPS-like cells failed to form teratomas. In conclusion, this is the first study to establish and characterize cat iPS-like cells, which can differentiate into different cell types depending on the basic fibroblast growth factor.","PeriodicalId":16942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reproduction and Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10721851/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50161927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Upon microinjection into the adluminal compartment of the seminiferous tubules, SSCs transmigrate through the blood-testis barrier (BTB) to the basal compartment of the tubule and reinitiate spermatogenesis. It was recently discovered that inhibiting retinoic acid signaling with WIN18,446 enhances SSC colonization by transiently suppressing spermatogonia differentiation, thereby promoting fertility restoration. In this study, we report that WIN18,446 increases SSC colonization by disrupting the BTB. WIN18,446 altered the expression patterns of tight junction proteins (TJPs) and disrupted the BTB in busulfan-treated mice. WIN18,446 upregulated the expression of FGF2, one of the self-renewal factors for SSCs. While WIN18,446 enhanced SSC colonization in busulfan-treated wild-type mice, it did not increase colonization levels in busulfan-treated Cldn11-deficient mice, which lack the BTB, indicating that the enhancement of SSC colonization in wild-type testes depended on the loss of the BTB. Serial transplantation analysis revealed impaired self-renewal caused by WIN18,446, indicating that WIN18,446-mediated inhibition of retinoic acid signaling impaired SSC self-renewal. Strikingly, WIN18,446 administration resulted in the death of 45% of busulfan-treated recipient mice. These findings suggest that TJP modulation is the primary mechanism behind enhanced SSC homing by WIN18,446 and raise concerns regarding the use of WIN18,446 for human SSC transplantation.","PeriodicalId":16942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reproduction and Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10721852/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71412695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite several studies on intrauterine EVs, the composition and quantitative changes in conceptus and endometrial EVs, as well as the effects of intrauterine EVs on endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) during the peri-implantation period, have not been well characterized. To elucidate global changes in proteins in EVs extracted from uterine flushings (UFs) during the pre-implantation (P17), just-implantation (P20), and post-implantation (P22) periods, the datasets of the proteome iTRAQ analysis were compared among P17, P20, and P22 EVs. These analyses revealed that the composition and function of proteins in the EVs changed dramatically during peri-implantation in cattle. Notably, intrauterine P17 EVs affected the high expression of \"Developmental Biology\" and \"morphogenesis of an endothelium\" compared with those in P20 and P22 EVs. Furthermore, P20 EVs had the functions of the high expression of \"mitochondrial calcium ion homeostasis\" and \"Viral mRNA Translation\" compared with those in P17 EVs. Transcripts extracted from EECs treated with P17, P20, or P22 EVs were subjected to RNA-seq analysis. These analyses identified 60 transcripts in EECs commonly induced by intrauterine EVs recovered from P17, P20, and P22, a large number of which were associated with \"type I interferon signaling pathway\".

Here, we generated novel Kiss1 (kisspeptin gene)-Cre rats and investigated the developmental changes and sex differences in visualized Kiss1 neurons of Kiss1-Cre-activated tdTomato reporter rats. First, we validated Kiss1-Cre rats by generating Kiss1-expressing cell-specific Kiss1 knockout (Kiss1-KpKO) rats, which were obtained by crossing the current Kiss1-Cre rats with Kiss1-floxed rats. The resulting male Kiss1-KpKO rats lacked Kiss1 expression in the brain and exhibited hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, similar to the hypogonadal phenotype of global Kiss1 KO rats. Histological analysis of Kiss1 neurons in Kiss1-Cre-activated tdTomato reporter rats revealed that tdTomato signals in the anteroventral periventricular nucleus (AVPV) and arcuate nucleus (ARC) were not affected by estrogen, and that tdTomato signals in the ARC, AVPV, and medial amygdala (MeA) were sexually dimorphic. Notably, neonatal AVPV tdTomato signals were detected only in males, but a larger number of tdTomato-expressing cells were detected in the AVPV and ARC, and a smaller number of cells in the MeA was detected in females than in males at postpuberty. These findings suggest that Kiss1-visualized rats can be used to examine the effect of estrogen feedback mechanisms on Kiss1 expression in the AVPV and ARC.

The quality of the blastocysts was examined under an inverted microscope and confirmed as Codes 1-3 according to the IETS standards for embryo evaluation. The OCT images of the embryos were captured on Day 7 after IVF, and the embryos were cultured until Day 9 to determine their hatchability. During OCT, the embryos were irradiated with near-infrared light for a few minutes to obtain three-dimensional images. In total, 22 parameters were assessed for each of the 42 embryos, of which 25 hatched (H embryos) and 17 did not (NH embryos). The thickness of the trophectoderm (TE) and TE+zona pellucida (ZP) was lesser, and the volumes of the TE, ZP, blastocoel, and whole embryo and blastocoel diameter were greater in the H embryos than in the NH embryos. PCA identified that the increase in the blastocoel-related value along with the decrease in the thickness-related value of the TE and/or ZP could be indicators for evaluating the hatchability of bovine IVF embryos.

Thirty-four Holstein cows were categorized into three groups (Low, n = 9; Middle, n = 16; High, n = 9) based on the quartile of average daily 4% fat-corrected milk production during early pregnancy. The High group showed higher milk component production than the other groups (P < 0.05) during early and mid-pregnancy. Although most placental characteristics did not differ significantly among the groups, cows in the High group had larger individual cotyledons and fewer medium-sized cotyledons than those in the Low group (P < 0.05). Plasma amino acid concentrations of calves in the Low and High groups were significantly higher than those of calves in the Middle group, although calf birth weights were similar among the groups. Furthermore, cows in the Low group had longer dry periods than those in the High (P = 0.004) and Middle (P = 0.058) groups. This suggests that cows in the Low group may have provided more amino acids to the fetus because of low lactation and long dry periods. Conversely, cows in the High group required more energy for lactation during early pregnancy, which can reduce nutrient availability to the placenta and fetus; however, increasing individual cotyledonary sizes during late pregnancy may ensure that the same amounts of amino acids as those in cows in the Low group are supplied to the fetus, recovering the birth weights.","PeriodicalId":16942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reproduction and Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/35/bf/jrd-69-254.PMC10602765.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10389347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This suppression is thought to be mostly due to the inhibition of the tonic (pulsatile) release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and consequent gonadotropin. Accumulating evidence suggests that kisspeptin neurons in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) play a critical role in the regulation of pulsatile GnRH/gonadotropin release, and kisspeptin mRNA (Kiss1) and/or kisspeptin expression in the ARC are strongly suppressed by the suckling stimuli in lactating rats. This study aimed to examine whether the central enkephalin-δ-opioid receptor (DOR) signaling mediates the suckling-induced suppression of luteinizing hormone (LH) release in lactating rats. Central administration of a selective DOR antagonist increased the mean plasma LH levels and baseline of LH pulses in ovariectomized lactating mother rats compared to vehicle-injected control dams on day 8 of lactation without affecting the number of Kiss1-expressing cells and the intensity of Kiss1 mRNA signals in the ARC. Furthermore, the suckling stimuli significantly increased the number of enkephalin mRNA (Penk)-expressing cells and the intensity of Penk mRNA signals in the ARC compared to non-lactating control rats. Collectively, these results suggest that central DOR signaling, at least in part, mediates the suppression of LH release induced by suckling stimuli in lactating rats via indirect and/or direct inhibition of ARC kisspeptin neurons.","PeriodicalId":16942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reproduction and Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/92/14/jrd-69-192.PMC10435526.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10419206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
