Boar spermatozoa are highly sensitive to temperature, with low temperature triggering reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, leading to oxidative stress and apoptosis. Sulforaphane (SFN), a potent natural compound found in cruciferous vegetables, is efficacious in mitigating oxidative stress. We here supplemented different SFN concentrations (0, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 μM) into the freezing extender to explore its effect on boar sperm during cryopreservation and determine the optimal SFN concentration. Supplementation of 5 μM SFN exhibited the highest sperm motility, motion performance, plasma membrane integrity, acrosome integrity, and antioxidant properties (total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and antioxidant enzyme activity) after freezing and thawing. Then, RT group, C group and C + SFN group were established to explore the effect of SFN on the cryopreservation-induced sperm apoptosis level and fertilizing capacity of post-thawed sperms. SFN effectively rescued the apoptosis and fertilizing capacity of post-thawed sperms. Mechanistically, SFN activated the redox-sensitive nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2/NFE2L2) by promoting adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation. This activation improved antioxidant defenses, ultimately improving cryoinjury in boar spermatozoa. In summary, SFN suppressed cryopreservation-induced apoptosis of spermatozoa by activating antioxidant defenses and the AMPK/NFE2L2 signaling pathway. These findings suggest a novel approach for augmenting the cryoprotective efficiency and spermatozoa fertility after cryopreservation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23131,"journal":{"name":"Theriogenology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142381699","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}

To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the gene and protein expression of the apelin system (the apelin hormone and the apelin receptor, APJ) in the anterior (AP) and posterior (PP) pituitary lobes of the domestic pig during different phases of the oestrous cycle (days 2 to 3, 10 to 12, 14 to 16, and 17 to 19) and in early pregnancy (days 10 to 11, 12 to 13, 15 to 16, and 27 to 28). It was also assumed that apelin participates in the regulation of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion and influences Akt, MAPK/Erk1/2, and AMPK signalling pathways in the AP during the oestrous cycle. Apelin, APJ mRNAs and proteins were detected in both pituitary lobes. Apelin was identified in gonadotropes, somatotropes, lactotropes, and thyrotropes. The study also revealed that apelin and APJ mRNA/protein levels fluctuate during the oestrous cycle and early gestation. Apelin affects basal, GnRH- and/or insulin-stimulated gonadotropin secretion in some phases of the cycle, as well as the phosphorylation of Akt, MAPK/Erk1/2, and AMPK proteins in AP cells. These findings suggest that apelin may be produced locally in the pituitary and that this gland is receptive to apelin's action.

Previous studies have shown the presence of folate in bovine oviductal fluid, as well as finely regulated gene expression of folate receptors and transporters in bovine oviduct epithelial cells (BOECs). Additionally, extracellular folic acid (FA) affects the transcriptional levels of genes important for the functioning of BOECs. However, it remains unknown whether the anatomical and cyclic features inherent to the oviduct affect regulation of folate metabolism. The present study aimed to characterize the gene expression pattern of folate cycle enzymes in BOECs from different anatomical regions during the estrous cycle and to determine the transcriptional response of these genes to increasing concentrations of exogenous FA. A first PCR screening showed the presence of transcripts encoding dihydrofolate reductase (<em>DHFR</em>), methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (<em>MTHFR</em>), and methionine synthase (<em>MTR</em>) in bovine reproductive tissues (ovary, oviduct and uterus), with expression levels in oviductal tissues comparable to, or even higher than, those detected in ovarian and uterine tissues. Moreover, expression analysis through RT-qPCR in BOECs from the ampulla and isthmus during different stages of the estrous cycle demonstrated that folate metabolism-related enzymes exhibited cycle-dependent variations. In both anatomical regions, <em>DHFR</em> was upregulated during the preovulatory stage, while <em>MTHFR</em> and <em>MTR</em> exhibited increased expression levels during the postovulatory stage. Under <em>in vitro</em> culture conditions, ampullary and isthmic cells were cultured in the presence of 10, 50, and 100 μM FA for 24 h. Under these conditions, isthmus epithelial cells exhibited a unique transcriptional response to exogenous FA, showing a pronounced increase in <em>MTR</em> expression levels. Our results suggest that the expression of folate metabolism-related genes in BOECs is differentially regulated during the estrous cycle and may respond to exogenous levels of folate. This offers a new perspective on the transcriptional regulation of genes associated with the folate cycle in oviductal cells and provides groundwork for future studies on their functional and epigenetic implications within the oviductal microenvironment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23131,"journal":{"name":"Theriogenology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142327545","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}

We found that supplementation of eicosatrienoic acid (ETA) during in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocyte significantly downregulated ER stress-related genes. Mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) are communications areas between the ER and mitochondria. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) is a key calcium channels in MAMs and, participates in the regulation of many cellular functions. Notably, the MAM area was significantly decreased in ETA-treated oocytes. CDGSH iron sulfur domain 2 (CISD2) is presents in MAMs, but its role in oocytes is unknown. ETA treatment significantly increased CISD2 expression, and siRNA-mediated knockdown of CISD2 blocked the inhibitory effect of ETA on IP3R. Transcriptomic sequencing and immunoprecipitation experiments showed that ETA treatment significantly decreased expression of the E3 ubiquitin ligase PRKN. PRKN induced ubiquitination and degradation of CISD2, indicating that the PRKN-mediated ubiquitin-proteasome system regulates CISD2. In conclusion, our study reveals the mechanism by which ETA supplementation during IVM alleviates mitochondrial calcium overload under ER stress conditions by decreasing PRKN-mediated ubiquitination of CISD2 and facilitating inhibition of IP3R by CISD2/BCL-2.

This review will outline the current sanitation practices recommended by the IETS for <em>in vivo</em> derived (IVD) embryos, as well as the current practices at most <em>in vitro</em> fertilization (IVF) labs and will present the case that IVP embryos are not only just as safe as IVD embryos from a disease transmission risk standpoint, but perhaps may even be safer than IVD embryos, as the oocyte, zygote, and embryo in the <em>in vitro</em> production system has no contact with the downstream reproductive anatomy (fimbria, isthmus, oviduct, or uterus) of the donor female.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23131,"journal":{"name":"Theriogenology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142323151","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}
