To investigate the uterine expression of apelin and APJ during estrous cycle in mice, uterus at different estrous stage were collected. To explore the ovarian steroids dependent expression of apelin system in the uterus, ovariectomized mice were treated with only estrogen at dose of 30 ng/g, only progesterone at dose of 150 μg/g and combined doses. To study the effect of gonadotropin on ovarian expression of apelin system, immature mice were injected with 2.5 IU of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) alone and both PMSG plus 2.5 IU of chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Apelin and APJ protein expression are modulated by estrous phases in the uterus. The uterine apelin and APJ expression are up-regulated by estrogen and down-regulated by progesterone. The expression and localization of APJ showed increased abundance in the follicles of PMSG treated mice, however, the PMSG plus HCG treatment showed formation of corpus luteum with increased abundance of APJ and progesterone secretion. The expression of apelin and APJ are regulated by pituitary gonadotropin in the ovary and uterine apelin system by ovarian steroid hormone.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":21018,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive biology","volume":"24 3","pages":"Article 100918"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141461495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to investigate whether USP22 is involved in the regulation of inflammatory response and decidualization in human endometrial stromal cells (hESCs). In this study, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to induce inflammation in hESCs, and MPA combined with cAMP was used to induce decidualization of hESCs. USP22 overexpression vector was constructed to study the role of USP22 in endometritis. The results showed that the USP22 protein and mRNA levels were decreased in LPS-induced hESCs. LPS induction increased the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, as well as the expression of iNOS and COX2 proteins in hESCs. In the LPS group, the levels of F-actin, PRL, IGFBP1, SLC7A11, and GPX4 proteins decreased, while the levels of lipid peroxidation and total iron content increased. Additionally, the levels of ACSL4 and TFR1 proteins were up-regulated. Overexpression of USP22 reversed LPS-induced cellular inflammation, attenuated decidualization, and inhibited ferroptosis. However, the use of ferroptosis inducers diminished the regulatory effects of USP22 on inflammatory responses and decidualization.

Based on cow’s estrus situation in two group at 55–60 days postpartum, 15 anestrus SCK cows and estrus cows were designated the SCK-A group and C-E group, respectively. The SCK-A group had downregulated serum and follicular fluid ADPN levels compared with the C-E group. The serum ADPN level was positively correlated with the insulin level and follicle growth rate, and there was a positive correlation between ADPN and glucose in the follicular fluid. Primary culture of dairy cow granulosa cells (GCs) was established to observe the effect of low glucose (Glu) and/or ADPN on GCs cyclins and proteins important for steroid synthesis. The results showed that the addition of 1 µg/mL ADPN alleviated the negative effects of low Glu treatment on the proliferation of GCs and the expression of steroid secretion related protein proteins.

After five weeks of FA supplementation and folate deficiency model formation, mated rats were sacrificed on the 5th gestational day (GD), and implantation sites were collected. The expression of ER- α, VEGFA, and Integrin αVβ3 in the implantation sites were examined with immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR. The results revealed that the mRNA levels of ESR1, VEGFA, and Integrin αV and β3 were significantly increased in the high-dose FA group and significantly decreased in the folate deficiency group compared to the control group (p &lt; 0.05). Based on these results, it can be concluded that FA supplementation before pregnancy has positive effects on the maintenance of pregnancy, and folate deficiency may lead to implantation disorders.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":21018,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive biology","volume":"24 3","pages":"Article 100895"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141201341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
