Blood samples collected before stimulation were used to measure serum anti-Müllerian hormone concentrations, which were compared to post-stimulation outcomes, including counts of retrievable oocytes or ovulation sites, oocyte quality, embryonic cleavage after in vitro fertilization, and progestogen concentrations. Anti-Müllerian hormone concentrations were also compared to outcomes in domestic cats induced to ovulate by mechanical stimulation of the vagina and cervix (simulated coitus). Greater anti-Müllerian hormone concentrations were associated with greater ovulatory response, progestogen production, and embryonic cleavage success among gonadotropin-treated cheetahs, and with greater ovulatory response among gonadotropin-treated domestic cats. Associations were moderated by age, with anti-Müllerian hormone concentration generally a greater determinant of these outcomes in older animals. Anti-Müllerian hormone concentrations alone could distinguish domestic cats with high and low ovulatory responses to exogenous hormones. However, this marker was unrelated to ovulatory response in domestic cats after simulated coitus. These results demonstrate the potential for anti-Müllerian hormone concentrations to predict responses of cheetahs and domestic cats to ovarian stimulation treatment commonly used in assisted reproductive technologies.

Prior work in mice established that a combination of continuous turnover of fibrillar collagen and reduced formation of collagen cross-links allows for the gradual increase in tissue compliance and delivery of the fetus during labor. However, the mechanism for continuous collagen degradation to ensure turnover during cervical remodeling is still unknown. This study demonstrates the functional role of extracellular and intracellular collagen degradative pathways in two different settings of cervical remodeling: physiological term remodeling and inflammation-mediated premature remodeling. Extracellular collagen degradation is achieved by the activity of fibroblast-derived matrix metalloproteases MMP14, MMP2, and fibroblast activation protein (FAP). In parallel, we demonstrate the function of an intracellular collagen degradative pathway in fibroblast cells mediated by the collagen endocytic mannose receptor type-2 (MRC2). These pathways appear to be functionally redundant as loss of MRC2 does not obstruct collagen turnover or cervical function in pregnancy. While both extracellular and intracellular pathways are also utilized in inflammation-mediated premature cervical remodeling, the extracellular collagen degradation pathway uniquely employs fibroblast and immune-cell-derived proteases. In sum, these findings identify the dual utilization of two distinct degradative pathways as a failsafe mechanism to achieve continuous collagen turnover in the cervix, thereby allowing dynamic shifts in cervical tissue mechanics and function.</p>","PeriodicalId":8965,"journal":{"name":"Biology of Reproduction","volume":" ","pages":"709-727"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11996760/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142999560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sperm-specific phospholipase C, Phospholipase C zeta 1 (PLCZ1) represents the \"sperm factor\" vital for initiating the persistent Ca2+ oscillations in mammals. Despite sequence conservation, the Ca2+ oscillation-inducing properties of the enzyme differ vastly among species, and this is particularly salient between mouse and rat PLCZ1, where the activities vary at least one order of magnitude in favor of the former. As previously shown, injecting wild-type rat Plcz1 mRNA into metaphase II mouse eggs induced delayed Ca2+ oscillations with low specific activity compared to the homologous mouse Plcz1 mRNA. We, therefore, sought to uncover the factor(s) diversifying these enzymes by swapping functional domains between species, creating chimeric PLCZ1s. When injected into mouse metaphase II eggs, mouse Plcz1 mRNA with the whole- or part of the EF-hand domains swapped with the rat showed a substantial reduction in activity compared to WT. Consistently, the opposite exchange enhanced the rat's enzyme activity. EF-hand domains 1 and 2 seemed to underlie most differences, and mutations of the divergent amino acids within these domains, substitutions for Glu(m-30; r-29) and Gln(m-58; r-57), changed the activity of both species' PLCZ1s in opposite directions. Collectively, our findings support the view that differences in the sequences of EF-hand domains, especially in several of its charged residues, underpin the distinct PLCZ1 activities between these species, revealing the gametes and species' adaptability to optimize the fertilization signal and early development.</p>","PeriodicalId":8965,"journal":{"name":"Biology of Reproduction","volume":" ","pages":"663-674"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143073663","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}

Therefore, we investigated the role of cilia in the oviduct transport of preimplantation eggs/embryos using a combination of genetic and advanced imaging approaches. We show that the region of the oviduct where cumulus-oocyte complex circling occurs, around the time of fertilization, is correlated with asymmetrical mucosal fold arrangement and non-radially distributed ciliated epithelium. Our results suggest that motile cilia, as well as mucosal fold asymmetry, may contribute to the local flow fields that help steer luminal contents away from the epithelial walls. We also present, in vivo, volumetric evidence of delayed egg transport in a genetic mouse model with disrupted motile cilia function in the female reproductive system. Females with Dnah5 deleted in the oviduct epithelium are subfertile and demonstrate disrupted motile cilia activity within the oviduct mucosa. Fifty percent of Dnah5 mutant females have delayed egg transport where cumulus-oocyte complexes did not progress to the ampulla at the expected time point and remained within the ovarian bursa.

Recent research has rapidly increased the number of coding mutations causally linked to impaired spermatogenesis in humans and mice. However, the role of noncoding mutations remains largely unexplored. To evaluate the effects of noncoding mutations on spermatogenesis, we first identified an evolutionarily conserved topologically associated domain boundary near two genes with important roles in mammalian testis function: Dmrtb1 and Lrp8. We then used CRISPR-Cas9 to generate a mouse line where 26 kb of the boundary was removed including a strong and evolutionarily conserved CTCF binding site. ChIP-seq and Hi-C experiments confirmed the removal of the CTCF site and a resulting mild increase in the DNA-DNA interactions across the domain boundary. Mutant mice displayed significant changes in testis gene expression, a higher frequency of histological abnormalities, a drop of 47-52% in efficiency of meiosis, a 15-18% reduction in efficiency of spermatogenesis, and, consistently, a 12-28% decrease in daily sperm production compared to littermate controls. Despite these quantitative changes in testis function, mutant mice show no significant changes in fertility. This suggests that noncoding deletions affecting testis gene regulation may have smaller effects on fertility compared to coding mutations of the same genes.
