Cows with metritis (n = 24) were paired with cows without metritis of similar parity and dpp (n = 24). On the day of metritis diagnosis (day 0), all cows with metritis received antimicrobial therapy. The continued presence of the fetid, watery, reddish-brown discharge on day 5 (n = 16) was defined as clinical cure failure, whereas clinical cure was defined by its absence (n = 8). Metabolome analyses of uterine lavage (days 0 and 5) and serum samples (day 0) were conducted using untargeted gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Normalized data were analyzed using partial least squares-discriminant analysis and ANOVA, adjusting P-values for multiple comparisons. Differences in the uterine metabolome on day 0 associated with clinical cure failure were linked to carbohydrate, amino acid, and lipid metabolism. Greater concentrations of arachidonic acid, ribose, and glutaric acid were associated with clinical cure failure, suggesting a greater degree of tissue lesion and inflammation. No differences in the serum metabolome were associated with cure failure. No differences in uterine metabolome were associated with clinical cure failure on day 5.

Such supplements are presumed to be safe for pregnant mothers and their unborn offspring. For pregnant mothers, such bioactive compounds might lower the risk of constipation, diarrhea, other gastrointestinal conditions, and pre-term birth, and prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes, including gestational diabetes mellitus and depression/anxiety. More research is needed to examine potential safety of probiotic consumption during pregnancy and long-term health consequences to offspring. The conceptus can also be indirectly affected by maternal probiotic supplementation through microorganism production of bioactive compounds. The placenta is in direct communication with the underlying uterine tissue. Thus, compounds in the maternal blood can easily transfer across the placenta and impact this hormonally sensitive organ. Select studies suggest that disruptions to the maternal microbiome dramatically affect the placenta. In the current review, we will therefore consider the evidence to date of how maternal probiotic supplementation affects the placenta. Three potential mechanisms we will explore include the possibility that maternal probiotic supplementation might impact the putative placenta microbiome. The second potential mechanism we will consider is that maternal probiotic consumption alters bacterial-derived metabolites, including short-chained fatty acids, polyamines, Vitamin B9, and Vitamin B12. The third potential mechanism to be discussed is that such supplements affect maternal and placental immune responses.

Therefore, we determined the expression of purinergic system molecules in the endometrium during the estrous cycle and pregnancy and in the conceptus and chorioallantoic tissues during pregnancy in pigs. The expression of many purinergic system molecules in the endometrium changed dynamically during pregnancy, with the expression of several components in the endometrium greater on day 15 of pregnancy than day 15 of the estrous cycle, and it was regulated by conceptus-derived interleukin-1beta and interferon-gamma. Purinergic system molecules were also expressed in conceptuses during early pregnancy and in chorioallantoic tissues during mid- to term pregnancy. Furthermore, adenosine triphosphate, a major purinergic signaling molecule, increased migration of endometrial epithelial and conceptus trophectoderm cells, the expression of prostaglandin synthetic enzymes, and the secretion of prostaglandin F2alpha in endometrial epithelial cells in vitro.

Bactrian camel is a dominant species in desert and semi-desert areas, exhibiting the unique reproductive regulation patterns. However, the underlying regulation mechanism of Mel on Bactrian camel is still unclear. This study isolated the epididymal caput epithelial cells of Bactrian camels and investigated the expression of specific genes involving sperm protection after Mel treatment and overexpression/knockdown of Mel receptor MT1/MT2 using real-time quantitative PCR assay (qPCR), ELISA, and western blotting assay. The results showed that MT1, MT2, clock genes cryptochrome 1/2 (Cry1/Cry2) were all positively expressed in the epididymal lumen epithelial cells, peritubular myoid cells, and luminal spermatozoa. Intriguingly, Mel treatment activated receptor MT1 in epididymal caput epithelial cells, indicating that Mel treatment regulated genes expression mainly via MT1-dependent manner. Mel treatment or overexpression of MT1 both increased secretion of glutathione peroxidase 5 (GPX5) and prostaglandin D2 synthase (PTGDS), and MT1 silencing induced downregulation of GPX5 and PTGDS expression, indicating that the expression of GPX5 and PTGDS were regulated by Mel-MT1. Overexpression of MT1 or MT2 promoted Cry2 expression, and overexpression of Cry2 also activated the MT1/MT2 expression by feedback regulation. Finally, the double luciferase reports assay showed that the activation of MT1 by Cry2 occurred during transcription.

In this study, we compared the mRNA and microRNA (miRNA) transcriptomes between young (< 32 years old) and AMA (> 38 years old) patients' GCs to identify potential ovarian aging-related molecular signatures. We identified 293 and 21 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and miRNAs (DE miRNAs), respectively, between young and aged GCs. Highly expressed mitochondrial-encoded genes, MT-ND3, MT-ND6, and MT-CYB, were downregulated in aged GCs, indicating potential mitochondrial insufficiency. Additionally, pathway analysis indicates DEGs are involved in inflammation, cytokine signaling, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and angiogenesis. Key DEGs related to these processes include CXCL8, IL1B, NLRP3, SIGIRR, ANGPT2, ADAM8, and ADAMTS14. Additionally, target gene prediction and pathway analysis of DE miRNAs indicates their potential post-transcriptional regulation of genes associated with cell signaling, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and senescence pathways in addition to cytokine signaling, angiogenesis, and ECM remodeling. To investigate regulatory mechanisms further, we looked at the DEGs' convergence with the DE miRNAs predicted target genes and we identified miR-483-3p, miR-1268a, miR-4497, miR-7704, miR-135a-5p, miR-1261, and miR-4791 as potential crucial regulators of genes involved in pathways associated with inflammation, ECM, and angiogenesis. This data suggests that aged GCs have an impaired ability to elicit the same pro-inflammatory response combined with dysregulation of angiogenesis and ECM remodeling compared to young GCs, and miRNA may play a role in regulating key ovulatory processes.
