Thirteen horseradish peroxidase- or digoxigenin-labelled lectins were used in samples obtained from healthy fertile boars. The acrosomes of the spermatids were stained intensely by lectins with affinity for galactose and N-acetyl-galactosamine residues, these being soybean, peanut and Ricinus communis agglutinins. Sertoli cells were stained selectively by Maackia ammurensis agglutinin. The lamina propria of seminiferous tubules showed the most intense staining with fucose-binding lectins. The Golgi area and the apical part of the principal cells of the epididymis were stained intensely with many lectins and their distribution was similar in the three zones of the epididymis. On the basis of lectin affinity, both testis and epididymis appear to have N- and O-linked glycoconjugates. Spermatozoa from different epididymal regions showed different expression of terminal galactose and N-acetyl-galactosamine. Sialic acid (specifically alpha2,3 neuraminic-5 acid) was probably incorporated into spermatozoa along the extratesticular ducts. These findings indicate that the development and maturation of boar spermatozoa are accompanied by changes in glycoconjugates. As some lectins stain cellular or extracellular compartments specifically, these lectins could be useful markers in histopathological evaluation of diseases of boar testis and epididymis.","PeriodicalId":16957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of reproduction and fertility","volume":"82 1","pages":"325-35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90234293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present study, the expression of hsp25, hsp70 and oestrogen receptor alpha were examined by immunohistochemistry in oviducts from rats during neonatal development, the oestrous cycle and during early pregnancy. Oestrogen receptor alpha was the first protein observed in the neonatal oviduct, and its expression preceded that of hsp70 and hsp25. Although these heat shock proteins have been associated with the oestrogen receptor, this study showed that during early development of the oviduct, the receptor protein was not associated with the concomitant expression of hsp25 and hsp70. However, these heat shock proteins were expressed when oviductal cells became differentiated. In the adult oviduct, hsp70 was more abundant than hsp25, moreover, there were no significant modifications in expression of hsp25 during the oestrous cycle. In contrast, the expression of hsp70 was significantly higher in epithelial cells during dioestrus, when the maximum amount of oestrogen receptor alpha was also observed. Therefore, the present study shows that hsp70, but not hsp25, is an oviductal protein modulated by the oestrous cycle and that it is a protein marker for specific phases of the oestrous cycle. In addition, hsp70 was more responsive to the hormonal changes in the infundibulum and ampullar regions of the oviduct. During early pregnancy, hsp25 expression was downregulated (unlike in the endometrium), whereas hsp70 was relatively abundant in the oviduct. hsp70 was observed in all functional segments of the oviduct during pregnancy, indicating that in the oviduct, this protein is modulated by oestrogens and progesterone and possibly by other pregnancy-related hormones.</p>","PeriodicalId":16957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of reproduction and fertility","volume":"120 2","pages":"217-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1530/jrf.0.1200217","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21885728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cell nuclei from uterus, ear and liver cells, which have not been tested previously, developed into newborn calves after nuclear transfer into enucleated oocytes. To date, seven female and six male calves have survived: six of the females were from adult cells (cumulus (n = 3), oviduct (n = 2) and skin (n = 1) cells) and one was from newborn skin cells, whereas the male calves were derived from adult ear cells (n = 3), newborn liver and skin cells (n = 2), and fetal cells (n = 1). Clones derived from adult cells frequently aborted in the later stages of pregnancy and calves developing to term showed a higher number of abnormalities than did those derived from newborn or fetal cells. The telomeric DNA lengths in the ear cells of three male calves cloned from the ear cells of a bull aged 10 years were similar to those of the original bull. However, the telomeric DNA lengths from the white blood cells of the clones, although similar to those in an age-matched control, were shorter than those of the original bull, which indicates that telomeric shortening varies among tissues.","PeriodicalId":16957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of reproduction and fertility","volume":"124 1","pages":"231-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79513161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Luteal expression of mRNA encoding IGF-I and -II and the type 1 IGF receptor was detected throughout the oestrous cycle. The expression of IGF-I mRNAvaried significantly during the oestrous cycle. IGF-I mRNA concentrations were significantly higher on day 15 than on day 10, and IGF-I mRNA in the regressing corpus luteum at 48 h after administration of exogenous prostaglandin was significantly greater than in the early or mid-luteal phase (days 5 and 10). In contrast, there was no significant effect of day of the oestrous cycle on expression of mRNA for IGF-II and the type 1 IGF receptor in the corpus luteum. Expression of IGF-II mRNA was localized to a subset of steroidogenic luteal cells and was also associated with cells of the luteal vasculature. mRNA encoding the type 1 IGF receptor was widely expressed in a pattern indicative of expression in large and small luteal cells. These data demonstrate that the bovine corpus luteum is a site of IGF production and reception throughout the luteal phase.

The aim of the present study was to determine the impact of immunoneutralization of E-cadherin on granulosa cell adhesion, DNA synthesis and cell proliferation in vitro. Before attachment, pig granulosa cells were exposed to a monoclonal E-cadherin antibody (DECMA-1) which blocks E-cadherin function. Controls included substitution of the antibody with either mouse ascites fluid or another E-cadherin antibody directed against the cytoplasmic domain and which was therefore inaccessible in intact cells. Both granulosa cell proliferation and insulin-like growth factor I-induced DNA synthesis were inhibited significantly in the presence of DECMA-1 compared with controls (P < 0.05). Control granulosa cells in culture formed large clusters with many cells packed tightly together. However, after 48 h exposure to the function-perturbing E-cadherin antibody, there was a significant decrease in the size of the granulosa cell clusters (P < 0.05) and the degree of cell-cell contact was reduced compared with control cultures. No effects on DNA synthesis, cell proliferation or cell adhesion were observed when DECMA-1 was substituted with either mouse ascites fluid or the antibody specific for the cytoplasmic domain of E-cadherin. In conclusion, these data provide evidence to support the hypothesis that E-cadherin is important for maintaining granulosa cell contact, DNA synthesis and cell proliferation in vitro.
