The present study utilized electrochemical microsensors to determine differences in rates for oxygen consumption, extracellular acidification, and hydrogen peroxide production between normal and slow-growing, male and female bovine blastocysts. In addition, pooled samples of blastocysts were subjected to proteomic analysis to determine differences in the abundance of proteins associated with metabolism between the sexes and developmental timing status. In comparison to blastocysts developing over a normal timespan, blastocysts forming 1 to 2 days later had a higher oxygen consumption rate, differences in abundance of electron transport complex proteins, and reduced abundance of biosynthetic enzymes when compared to blastocysts developing during a normal timeline. Embryo sex resulted in unique differences in metabolic enzyme abundance with potentially different contributions to delayed development. In addition, male and female blastocysts had differential protein abundances indicating differences in metabolic pathway activity. Therefore, embryos that took longer to reach the blastocyst stage of development appeared to have an imbalance between energy production and biosynthetic activity, which could differentially impact male and female embryos.</p>","PeriodicalId":8965,"journal":{"name":"Biology of Reproduction","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143668655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the common view that stress granules are the primary stress-responsive ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granule, accumulating evidence shows that in ovaries, other RNP granules also uniquely mediate gene regulation in response to stress. Here we review recent insights into RNP granule dynamics and RNP granule protein function during stress in the context of oogenesis among both invertebrates and vertebrates, with an emphasis on insights from Drosophila and mice. We also discuss roles for stress-responsive RNPs in maintaining stem cell populations, and complicating fertility treatments.

During disease, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) accumulates in follicular fluid and triggers granulosa cell inflammation via the Toll-like receptor 4 pathway. Follicle growth and plasma estradiol are reduced in cows with uterine disease, and treatment of bovine granulosa cells with LPS reduces CYP19A1 expression and estradiol synthesis. It is unclear if the effects of LPS on the steroidogenic capacity of granulosa cells persist in cells during luteinization. We hypothesized that acute exposure of granulosa cells to LPS would alter progesterone synthesis during luteinization. Here, we demonstrate that acute exposure of granulosa cells to LPS reduces progesterone synthesis during a 9-day period of luteinization after LPS treatment. We show that exposure of granulosa cells to LPS does not alter the gene expression of STAR, HSD3B1 or CYP11A1, or cellular respiration during luteinization. However, acute exposure of granulosa cells to LPS reduces the abundance of intracellular lipid, mitochondria density and cholesterol uptake during luteinization, suggesting a potential mechanism of altered steroidogenesis after acute inflammation. Collectively, these findings show that exposure of granulosa cells to LPS reduces progesterone synthesis during luteinization which is associated with altered lipid droplets and mitochondria accumulation required for steroidogenesis. Perturbations to granulosa cell physiology during uterine disease may have prolonged effects on ovarian function that contribute to reduced fertility of cows.

It is highly influenced by environmental conditions, especially stressors such as heat and nutritional deficiencies, which can significantly impact the fetus's long-term health and development. Cattle, especially dairy cows, commonly experience stress during late gestation, which can lead to changes in behavior and physiology, affecting both subsequent milk production and fetal development. Heat stress is one of the most common stressors experienced by mammals, and recent evidence suggests a role in the programming of the dam and fetus. This review explores different hypotheses of fetal programming, including the Barker Hypothesis, which connects early-life malnutrition to metabolic diseases in adulthood, and the Silver-Spoon Hypothesis, which highlights the long-term benefits of optimal prenatal conditions. Furthermore, we consider heat stress programming as it relates to the concept of developmental origins of health and diseases (DOHaD). The DOHaD hypothesis suggests that epigenetic adaptations occur in fetal DNA as a response to environmental influences. The review also emphasizes the role of the mechanism associated with possible epigenetic effects in the placenta, mediating the effects of maternal stress on the fetus, impacting gene expression, placental structure, and nutrient transfer.
