Interleukin-10: a novel metabolic inducer of macrophage differentiation and subsequently contributing to improved pregnancy outcomes of mice by orchestrating oxidative phosphorylation metabolism
In this study, we mainly investigate the metabolic changes involved in IL-10 generated macrophages from monocytes using in vitro models. We demonstrate that exposure of monocytes (either peripheral or THP-1) to IL-10 altered the phenotype and function of resultant macrophages that is linked with OXPHOS changes. IL-10 enhanced the mitochondrial complex I and III activity of THP-1 cell-differentiated macrophages and increased the mitochondrial membrane potential, intracellular adenosine triphosphate, and reactive oxygen species levels. OXPHOS blockage with oligomycin changed the cell morphology of IL-10-generated macrophages...

Metabolic pathways for glucose and fructose: I synthesis and metabolism of fructose by ovine conceptuses
This study characterized key enzymes involved in fructose synthesis and metabolism by ovine conceptuses throughout pregnancy. Day 17 conceptuses expressed mRNAs for the polyol pathway (SORD and AKR1B1) and glucose and fructose metabolism (HK1, HK2, G6PD, OGT, and FBP), but not those required for gluconeogenesis (G6Pase or PCK). Ovine placentomes also expressed mRNAs for SORD, AKR1B1, HK1, and OGT. Fructose can be metabolized via the ketohexokinase (KHK) pathway and isoforms, KHK-A and KHK-C, were expressed in ovine conceptuses from Day 16 of pregnancy and placentomes during pregnancy in a cell specific manner: KHK-A protei...

Pig conceptuses utilize extracellular vesicles for IFNG-mediated paracrine communication with the endometrium
Biol Reprod. 2024 Mar 19:ioae044. doi: 10.1093/biolre/ioae044. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInterferon-gamma (IFNG) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine secreted by the porcine conceptus (embryo and extra-embryonic membranes) during the peri-implantation period of pregnancy. IFNG modifies the endometrial inflammatory immune response and is required for the implantation and survival of the conceptus. It is not known how IFNG from the conceptus trophectoderm is transported across the endometrial luminal epithelium (LE). In the present study, immunofluorescence analyses detected immunoreactive IFNG protein in both the trophectoder...

Cellular senescence in reproduction: a two-edged sword †
Biol Reprod. 2024 Mar 13:ioae025. doi: 10.1093/biolre/ioae025. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCellular senescence (CS) is the state when cells are no longer capable to divide even after stimulation with grown factors. Cells that begin to undergo CS stop in the cell cycle and enter a suspended state without committing to programmed cell death. These cells assume a specific phenotype and influence their microenvironment by secreting molecules and extracellular vesicles that are part of the so-called senescent cell-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Cellular senescence is intertwined with physiological and pathological con...

4D label-free quantitative proteomic analysis identifies CRABP1 as a novel candidate gene for litter size in rabbits
Biol Reprod. 2024 Mar 13:ioae038. doi: 10.1093/biolre/ioae038. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn commercial rabbit breeding, litter size is a crucial reproductive trait. This trait directly determines the reproductive ability of female rabbits and is crucial for evaluating the production efficiency. We here compared differentially expressed proteins of in the ovary tissue from New Zealand female rabbits with high (H) and low (L) litter sizes by using 4D label-free quantitative proteomic technology and identified 92 differential proteins. The biological functions of these proteins were revealed through gene ontology (GO) and...
