Corpus luteum,an important endocrine tissue in mammalian ovary,plays a role in the regulation of reproductive cycle and the establishment of early pregnancy.While studying the luteal development and its molecular regulation,we have discovered a variety of immune cells,such as T lymphocytes,macrophages,neutrophils,and eosinophils,in the corpus luteum.These immune cells accumulate and support luteal angiogenesis and progesterone production during the luteal development,thus participating in the regulation of luteal functions.In luteal regression,prostaglandin F2 can stimulate the production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines,which help immune cells enter the corpus luteum and enhance the decomposition of corpus luteum through inflammatory reactions.According to our research achievements,we reviewed the roles of different types of immune cells in the development and degradation of mammalian luteal functions,aiming to further understand the biology of corpus luteum and provide a reference for the clinical manipulation of luteal functions.
Owing to the avascular structure of the ovarian follicle, proliferation of granulosa cells (GCs) and development of follicles occur under hypoxia, which is obviously different from the cell survival requirements of most mammalian cells. We hypothesized that autophagy may exert an inhibitory effect on GC apoptosis. To decipher the underlying mechanism, we constructed a rat follicular development model using pregnant mare serum gonadotropin and a cell culture experiment in hypoxic conditions (3% O2). The present results showed that the autophagy level was obviously increased and was accompanied by the concomitant elevation of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α and BNIP3 (Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19kDa-interacting protein 3) in GCs during follicular development. The levels of Bax (Bcl2-associated X) and Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma-2) were increased, while the activation of caspase-3 exhibited no obvious changes during follicular development. However, inhibition of HIF-1α attenuated the increase in Bcl-2 and promoted the increase in Bax and cleaved caspase-3. Furthermore, we observed the downregulation of BNIP3 and the decrease in autophagy after treatment with a specific HIF-1α activity inhibitor (echinomycin), indicating that HIF-1α/BNIP3 was involved in autophagy regulation in GCs in vivo. In an in vitro study, we also found that hypoxia did not obviously promote GC apoptosis, while it significantly enhanced the activation of HIF-1α/BNIP3 and the induction of autophagy. Expectedly, this effect could be reversed by 3-methyladenine (3-MA) treatment. Taken together, these findings demonstrated that hypoxia drives the activation of HIF-1α/BNIP3 signaling, which induces an increase in autophagy, protecting GC from apoptosis during follicular development.
Objective: The past four decades have witnessed rapid improvement in living standards worldwide, and nutritional obesity has attracted increasing attention. To further understand the cardiovascular complications caused by a high-fat diet (HFD), there is an immediate need to focus on the effects of HFD on vascular structure and functions. Methods: The effects of HFD on physiological and biochemical indices were evaluated using ELISA kits, and the associated vascular abnormalities were investigated using microscopy and vasodilatation examination. Besides, NLRP3 inflammasome expression and activation were assessed by immunofluorescence, western blotting, and RT-qPCR assays. Results: Body weight and plasma insulin levels were found to be significantly increased in the HFD group by the third week, while fasting glucose concentrations and insulin resistance index apparently increased by the sixth week, and the changes in aortic structures occurred at the ninth week, suggesting that insulin resistance contributed to the elevated fasting glucose in the HFD group in a time-dependent pattern, following the pathological changes of aortic tissues. Further analysis showed increased expression and activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in the HFD group, which might have inhibited the vasodilatation during the sixth week. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the role of NLRP3 inflammasome in promoting HFD-induced vascular dysfunction.

在哺乳动物中,巨噬细胞是一种多功能细胞,大量存在于生殖组织中,在免疫反应中起关键作用.卵巢中的巨噬细胞可以通过表面受体的表达来鉴定,在不同发情周期阶段的特殊定位和分布变化表明巨噬细胞在卵巢卵泡发育、排卵和黄体形成及退化时的组织重构中具有不同的作用.同时,巨噬细胞参与卵泡发育及其排卵过程,如吞噬和降解外来抗原,基质溶解和组织重塑,细胞因子、趋化因子和生长因子的产生和分泌.因此,在先前研究基础上,该文综述了哺乳动物卵巢巨噬细胞的功能及其在卵泡发育与排卵过程中的作用,初步分析了巨噬细胞在卵巢疾病中的作用,旨在进一步理解哺乳动物卵巢生物学的内容,并为多囊卵巢综合征和卵巢早衰等卵巢疾病进行早期诊断和治疗提供重要参考资料.
In mammals, developing ovarian follicles transform from primordial follicles to primary follicles, secondary follicles, and mature follicles, accompanied by changes in follicular secretory functions. FoxO3a is a member of the forkhead transcription factor family (FoxO), which plays an important role in the cell cycle, DNA damage repair, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and energy metabolism. Recent studies have shown that FOXO3a is involved in the physiological regulation of follicular development and pathological progression of related ovarian diseases, which will provide useful concepts and strategies for retarding ovarian aging, prolonging the ovarian life span, and treating ovarian diseases. Therefore, the regulation of FOXO3a expression, as well as the physiological contribution during ovarian follicular development are detailed in this paper, presenting an important reference for the further study of ovarian biology.
In mammals, the follicular development and following ovulation are regulated by reproductive hormones, while polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder syndrome with reproductive dysfunction and abnormal glucose metabolism in most PCOS women. Its characteristics are hyperandrogenism, ovarian dysfunction, and the exclusion of other androgen excess or related diseases. Its clinical characteristics are large antral follicle pool from which to recruit and persistent anovulation. The incidence of PCOS in women of childbearing age ranged from 4 to 12%. About one-third of infertility cases had no ovulation, and 90% of them had PCOS. Therefore, further studying the regulatory mechanism of follicular hyperrecruitment and anovulation can provide theoretical basis for exploring the pathogenesis of PCOS and guiding clinical treatment, especially for protecting female fertility and preventing the occurrence of metabolic disorder syndrome. The present article will review the progress in endocrine characteristics and regulatory mechanism of follicular development and ovulation failure in the mammalian ovary.
