Since chronic inflammation is a typical feature of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), both clinical and experimental studies have demonstrated that resveratrol (RES) can effectively alleviate it. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. To further investigate this, granulosa cells (GCs) derived from PCOS patients, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated human granulosa cells (KGN), LPS-induced chronic inflammation mouse models, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)-induced PCOS mouse models were treated with RES. The expression of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), as well as absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2), was examined. Additionally, ovarian morphological changes in these mouse models were assessed using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The results showed that the expression of these inflammatory cytokines and AIM2 increased significantly in GCs derived from PCOS patients and LPS-induced KGN cells, as well as in the ovaries of LPS-induced chronic inflammation and DHEA-induced PCOS mouse models. Furthermore, blocking AIM2 in LPS-treated KGN cells and mice with LPS-induced inflammation or PCOS significantly reduced the upregulation of inflammatory cytokines, similar to the results observed following RES treatment. In addition, LPS-induced phosphorylation of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway in KGN cells was completely abolished by RES treatment. Notably, LPS-induced upregulation of AIM2 and these inflammatory cytokines was completely reversed by blocking the JAK2/STAT3 pathway using AZD-1480 and SH-4-54, respectively. Further in vivo studies showed that ovarian morphological and estrous cycle disturbances in DHEA-induced PCOS mouse models were effectively ameliorated by RES and A151. In conclusion, RES alleviates chronic inflammation in PCOS by inhibiting AIM2 via blocking the JAK2/STAT3 pathway. Our findings suggest that the targeted inhibition of AIM2 could represent a novel therapeutic approach for PCOS.
Ovulatory dysfunction is a typical symptom of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and is widely recognized as a major obstacle to fertility. Numerous studies have reported a close association between the programmed cell death (PCD) of granulosa cells (GCs) and ovulatory dysfunction in PCOS. Recently, a novel type of PCD exhibiting features of pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis was identified and termed PANoptosis. However, whether the PANoptosis occurs in PCOS GCs and plays a role in ovulatory dysfunction remains unclear. In this study, we found that the expression levels of PANoptosis-related molecules (NLRP3, CASP1, IL-1β, CASP3, MLKL), the PANoptosis regulator AIM2, IFN-γ, the IFN-responsive transcription factor 1 (IRF1), and HAS2 were significantly increased in GCs collected from PCOS patients, DHT-treated KGN cells, and the ovaries of DHEA-induced PCOS mouse models. Most importantly, KGN cells treated with a combination IFN-γ and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exhibited similar effects. While, blocking IRF1 (using RNA interference-based knockdown), HAS2 (using 4-MU), JAK2 (using AZD-1480), or STAT3 (using SH-4-54) completely abolished these effects. Mechanistically, we revealed that elevated IFN-γ promotes AIM2 expression and AIM2-PANoptosome assembly through the JAK2/STAT3/IRF1/HAS2 axis. Further in vivo studies showed that inhibiting HAS2 (using 4-MU) and AIM2 (using A151) increased the number of oocytes retrieved from DHEA-induced PCOS mice. Taken together, our results suggest that AIM2-PANoptosis occurs in the GCs of PCOS and is triggered by the IFN-γ/IRF1/HAS2 signalling pathway, thereby resulting in ovulatory dysfunction. This study therefore provides valuable potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of this typical PCOS symptom.
The proliferation and migration of porcine trophectoderm (pTr) cells are crucial processes during the early stages of embryo implantation in sows. The effects of deoxynivalenol (DON) and chlorogenic acid (CGA), a plant-derived compound, on pTr cells are currently unclear. In this study, pTr cells were treated with DON at different times (24, 48, and 72 h) and different concentrations (0.5, 1, and 2 μg/mL) to construct a pathological model of DON-induced pTr cells by detecting the expression levels of genes related to cell proliferation, migration, and oxidative stress, as well as the cell viability and the cell migration ability. Subsequently, CGA intervention experiments revealed that CGA could promote the proliferation, migration, and antioxidant ability of pTr cells and alleviate the damage induced by DON in pTr cells. Finally, RNA-seq technology combined with experiments illustrated that CGA might alleviate the damage of DON-induced pTr cells by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. In conclusion, this study explored the toxicological effect of DON and the alleviation effect of CGA on DON at the pTr cells level, which provided new insights and an experimental basis for using CGA to alleviate the reproductive toxicity induced by DON.
Kynurenine (KYN) is a primary tryptophan derivative found in the human body and fermented foods. Previous studies have shown that KYN is an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonist and is important in regulating various physiological activities, including female reproduction. Progesterone is a vital steroid hormone that facilitates embryo implantation and maintains pregnancy. However, whether KYN affects its biosynthesis remains unclear. To gain understanding, in vitro luteinized porcine granulosa luteal (pGL) cells were treated with KYN. The results showed that KYN disrupted progesterone biosynthesis by decreasing the expression of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (STAR) and 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD3B) in pGL cells. In addition, the expression of three transcription factors of STAR and HSD3B (GATA4, GATA6, and CEBPB) decreased after KYN treatment. Furthermore, the AHR blockade results showed comparable effects to those of KYN treatment, and subsequent knockdown experiments confirmed these results. These findings suggest that KYN inhibits progesterone biosynthesis in pGL cells by downregulating GATA4, GATA6, and CEBPB expression through AHR. Thus, our results showed for the first time a previously unknown connection between KYN and progesterone biosynthesis.
Mi pigs, a Chinese native breed found in Jintan and Yangzhong in Jiangsu Province, were recorded as having only a few hundred members in the latest national livestock and poultry genetic resources survey. To explore their conservation and breeding prospects, 18 SINE Retrotransposon Insertion Polymorphisms (sine-rips) were analyzed using PCR to assess the population structure and genetic diversity of Mi pigs. These pigs were grouped into eight families based on a UPGMA phylogenetic tree. The genetic distances between the Mi pig populations and commercial breeds ranged from 0.3712 to 0.7609, indicating significant divergence. Conversely, they showed a closer genetic relationship with other local Jiangsu breeds, with distances varying from 0.0943 to 0.6122, a finding supported by the UPGMA tree. The populations displayed a substantial degree of outbreeding, with Fis values from -0.4744 (M5) to -0.0847 (M8) and Fst values from 0.0534 (M3, M8) to 0.2265 (M2, M7), highlighting their genetic diversity which is crucial for the conservation of Mi pigs. Despite this diversity, the population sizes were uneven, with M5, M7, and M8 having 6, 5, and 7 individuals, respectively. These findings lay a theoretical foundation for the ongoing conservation and breeding efforts for Mi pigs.
Abstract Kynurenine (KYN) is a primary tryptophan derivative found in the human body and fermented foods. Previous studies have shown that KYN is an Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonist and is important in regulating various physiological activities, including female reproduction. Progesterone is a vital steroid hormone that facilitates embryo implantation and maintains pregnancy. However, whether KYN affects its biosynthesis remains unclear. To gain understanding, in vitro luteinized porcine granulosa luteal (pGL) cells were treated with KYN. The results showed that KYN disrupted progesterone biosynthesis by decreasing the expression of STAR and HSD3B in pGL cells. In addition, the expression of three transcription factors of STAR and HSD3B (GATA4, GATA6, and CEBPB) decreased after KYN treatment. Furthermore, the AHR blockade results showed comparable to those of KYN treatment, and subsequent knockdown experiments confirmed these results. These findings suggest that KYN inhibits progesterone biosynthesis in pGL cells by downregulating GATA4, GATA6, and CEBPB expression through AHR. Thus, our results showed for the first time, a previously unknown connection between KYN and progesterone biosynthesis.
BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous metabolic and endocrine disorder that causes anovulatory infertility and abnormal folliculogenesis in women of reproductive age. Several studies have revealed inflammation in PCOS follicles, and recent evidence suggests that Berberine (BBR) effectively reduces inflammatory responses in PCOS, however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.PurposeTo determine the underlying mechanisms by which BBR alleviates inflammation in PCOS.Study designPrimary human GCs from healthy women and women with PCOS, and KGN cells were used for in vitro studies. ICR mice were used for in vivo studies.MethodsGene expression was measured using RT-qPCR. HAS2, inflammatory cytokines, and serum hormones were assayed by ELISA. Protein expression profiles were assayed by Western blot. Chronic low-grade inflammatory mouse models were developed by intraperitoneal injection with LPS, and PCOS mouse models were established by subcutaneous intraperitoneal injection of DHEA. BBR and 4-MU were administered by gavage. Ovarian morphologic changes were evaluated using H&E staining. HAS2 expression in the ovary was assayed using Western blot and immunohistochemistry.ResultsOur results confirmed that HAS2 expression and hyaluronan (HA) accumulation are closely associated with inflammatory responses in PCOS. Data obtained from in vitro studies showed that HAS2 and inflammatory genes (e.g., MCP-1, IL-1β, and IL-6) are significantly upregulated in PCOS samples and LPS-induced KGN cells compared to their control groups. In addition, these effects were reversed by blocking HAS2 expression or HA synthesis using BBR or 4-MU, respectively. Furthermore, HAS2 overexpression induces the expression of inflammatory genes in PCOS. These results were further confirmed in LPS- and DHEA-induced mouse models, where inflammatory genes were reduced by BBR or 4-MU, and ovarian morphology was restored.ConclusionsOur results define previously unknown links between HAS2 and chronic low-grade inflammation in the follicles of women with PCOS. BBR exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by down-regulating HAS2. This study provides a novel therapeutic target for alleviating ovarian inflammation in women with PCOS.
肌 内 脂 肪(Intramuscular Fat, IMF)是指肌肉样品中通过化学方法提取的脂肪,是嵌入在猪肌肉纤维之间的脂肪组织,主要来源于脂肪细胞和肌细胞.肌内脂肪是猪肉品质的重要指标,是影响猪肉品质的重要性状之一,与风味、多汁性、嫩度等密切相关,决定猪肉的品质和营养价值.肌内脂肪含量较高时,猪肉具有更好的嫩度、多汁性和适口性.十几年来,养猪生产中由于对较高瘦肉率和较低背膘厚的追求,商品猪肌内脂肪含量一直在下降.胴体瘦肉率每提高一个百分点,肌内脂肪含量降低0.07%.肌内脂肪的沉积受多种因素调控,不同品种猪在脂肪代谢相关酶活性、相关基因表达量等方面均存在较大差异.通过改变日粮中能量、蛋白质以及脂肪酸比例,肌内脂肪也会受到不同程度的影响.进一步研究发现,脂肪调控基因通过调控脂代谢与脂生成的过程调控肌内脂肪沉积的进程.为了适应消费者对猪肉品质的需求,研究猪肌内脂肪沉积的相关机制,寻找提高肌内脂肪含量的策略,对优质猪肉的生产至关重要.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), also known as endotoxin, is a component of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. LPS is released into the surrounding environment during bacterial death and lysis. Due to its chemical and thermal stability, LPS can be detected anywhere and easily exposed to humans and animals. Previous studies have shown that LPS causes hormonal imbalances, ovarian failure, and infertility in mammals. However, the potential mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects and mechanisms of LPS on tryptophan degradation, both in vivo and in vitro. The effects of kynurenine, a tryptophan derivative, on granulosa cell function and reproductive performance were explored. Results showed that p38, NF-κB, and JNK signaling pathways were involved in LPS-induced Ido1 expressions and kynurenine accumulation. Furthermore, the kynurenine decreased estradiol production, but increased granulosa cell proliferation. In vivo, experiments showed that kynurenine decreased estradiol and FSH production and inhibited ovulation and corpus luteum formation. Additionally, pregnancy and offspring survival rates decreased considerably after kynurenine treatment. Our findings suggest that kynurenine accumulation disrupts hormone secretion, ovulation, corpus luteal formation, and reproductive performance in mammals.

Type I collagen is the most abundant extracellular matrix (ECM) protein in the mammalian ovary, and comprises two COL1A1 subunits and one COL1A2 subunit. Matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) is a typical collagenase of type I collagen, that can be detected in ovarian follicles and early corpus luteum. Previous studies demonstrated that MMP1-mediated degradation of type I collagen plays a functional role in regulating corpus luteum formation, and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) inhibits luteinization and progesterone production in granulosa cells (GCs). Whether TGF-β1 regulates the expression of MMP1, COL1A1, or the deposition of type I collagen during corpus luteum formation remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms through which TGF-β1 regulates MMP1 expression and type I collagen deposition in GCs. Our results show that TGF-β1 upregulates COL1A1 expressions and downregulates MMP1 expression. Inhibition approaches, including pharmacological inhibitors such as p38 inhibitor (SB203580), ERK1/2 inhibitor (U0126), AKT inhibitor (LY294002), and GSK-3β inhibitor (LiCl), as well as knockdown using siRNA specific to these genes, were used. Our results suggest that TGF-β1 decreases MMP1 production via an ALK5-mediated AKT/GSK-3β-dependent signaling pathway, and a decrease in MMP1 levels and an increase in COL1A1 levels synergistically promote type I collagen deposition in GCs. Collectively, these findings provide novel insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms by which TGF-β1 upregulates type I collagen deposition in GCs.

Cholesterol is a precursor to steroid hormones and can be obtained from serum LDL or de novo synthesis in steroidogenic cells. Before luteinizing hormone (LH) surge-induced ovulation, follicles remain avascular, and cholesterol required for progesterone production in granulosa cells (GCs) is derived from de novo biosynthesis. Previous studies have verified that the intrafollicular TGF-β1 plays inhibitory roles in GCs luteinization, vascularization, and progesterone production. Nevertheless, the regulatory function of TGF-β1 on de novo cholesterol synthesis in granulosa-lutein (GL) cells remains largely unknown. We aim to investigate this aspect in this study using in vivo cultured human GL cells. Our results suggested that TGF-β1 significantly suppresses intracellular cholesterol levels and down-regulates the expression of the final step enzyme, DHCR24, that catalyzes de novo cholesterol synthesis. We used specific inhibitors and siRNA-mediated knockdown approaches demonstrate that TGF-β1 suppression of DHCR24 expression in GL cells is mediated by the GSK-3β/EZH2/H3K27me3 signaling pathway. Further ChIP assays revealed that elevated H3K27me3 levels in the promoter region of DHCR24 play a vital role in TGF-β1-induced DHCR24 down-regulation, and RNA-sequencing results confirmed these findings. Notably, our study provides a novel insight into the molecular mechanisms by which TGF-β1 suppresses de novo cholesterol biosynthesis in GL cells.

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae, Mhp) is the causative agent of mycoplasma pneumonia of swine (MPS). M. hyopneumoniae infection causes inflammation in pigs and leads to considerable economic losses in the pig industry. Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a pluripotent gene regulatory protein that plays an important role in regulating cytochrome P-450 (CYP) in pigs in the context of inflammatory responses, drug metabolism, homeostasis, etc. We previously reported that cytochrome P450 3A29 (CYP3A29) expression was significantly upregulated in pigs infected with M. hyopneumoniae compared with healthy control pigs. This experiment mainly focused on identifying the role of PXR in the regulation of CYP3A29 and inflammatory factors after M. hyopneumoniae infection by establishing pig alveolar macrophage (PAM) cells in which PXR was overexpressed or silenced. Our results showed that the overexpression of PXR could significantly improve the protein and the mRNA expression levels of CYP3A29 with and without M. hyopneumoniae infection in PAM cells. After the expression of PXR was inhibited, protein and mRNA expression levels of CYP3A29 were significantly reduced with and without M. hyopneumoniae infection in PAM cells. Moreover, PXR can regulate the mRNA expression levels of IL-6 and IL-8 during M. hyopneumoniae infection of PAM cells. In conclusion, these results suggest that PXR positively regulates CYP3A29 expression during the inflammatory response caused by M. hyopneumoniae infection.
