Abstract
We report in this manuscript what is known about the protein makeup of a selection of biological fluids in the domestic dog. The samples we review - amniotic and allantoic fluid, seminal fluid, saliva, bile, synovial fluid, tears - are still very poorly characterized in this species. For some of them we can present results from our own, mainly unpublished experiments. SIGNIFICANCE: The dog is one of the most widespread companion animals, and also of medical relevance as model species for some human diseases. Still, investigation of body fluids other than serum and urine is not so commonly undertaken, although - like in humans - also these sample types may have potential for diagnostic purposes. We compile published data about proteomes of fetal fluids, seminal plasma, saliva, bile, synovial fluid and tears, enriched by some yet unpublished data of our own (proteins of amniotic and allantoic fluid, tears). Closing gaps in our knowledge on dog proteins will further our understanding of (patho)physiological processes.

Proteomic analysis of amniotic and allantoic fluid from buffaloes during foetal development. Reprod Domest Anim 2019; 54:1507-1515.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to describe the dynamic changes in protein composition and protein abundance in amniotic and allantoic fluids from buffaloes during gestation. Amniotic and allantoic fluids were collected during the first, second and third trimesters of gestation. The foetuses were measured and weighed. Fluid samples were centrifuged at 800 g for 10 min and then at 10,000 g for 60 min at 4°C. The supernatant was collected to determine the total protein concentration. Based on total protein concentration, an aliquot (50 μg) was used for in-solution tryptic digestion, and mass spectrometry analysis (nano-LC-MS/MS) was performed. A multivariate statistical analysis of the proteomic data was conducted. Across the different stages of buffalo gestation, fifty-one proteins were found in the amniotic fluid, and twenty-one were found in the allantoic fluid. A total of twelve proteins were common among the stages, and four presented significant differences (VIP score α > 1). Fibronectin and alpha-1-antiproteinase were more abundant in the amniotic fluid than in the allantoic fluid. Alpha-2-macroglobulin and alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein were more abundant in the allantoic fluid than in the amniotic fluid. Alpha-2-macroglobulin participates in remodelling and growth of the uterus at beginning of the gestation (first trimester), and these findings indicate that can serve as a potential tool for the early diagnosis of pregnancy in buffaloes.

Abstract
An increasing number of reports indicate that in vitro fertilization (IVF) is highly
associated with long‑term side effects on embryonic and postnatal development, and can sometimes result in
embryonic implant failure. While high‑throughput gene expression analysis has been used to explore the
mechanisms underlying IVF-induced side effects on embryonic development, little is known about the effects of
IVF on conceptus–endometrial interactions during the peri-implantation period. Using sheep as a model, we
performed a comparative transcriptome analysis between in vivo (IVO; in vivo
fertilized followed by further development in the uterus) and in vitro produced (IVP; IVF
with further culture in the incubator) conceptuses, and the caruncular and intercaruncular areas of the ovine
endometrium. We identified several genes that were differentially expressed between the IVO and IVP groups on
day 17, when adhesion between the trophoblast and the uterine luminal epithelium begins in sheep. By
performing Gene Ontology enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway
analysis, we found that, in the conceptus, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were associated mainly with
functions relating to cell binding and the cell cycle. In the endometrial caruncular area, DEGs were involved
in cell adhesion/migration and apoptosis, and in the intercaruncular area, they were significantly enriched in
pathways of signal transduction and transport. Thus, these DEGs are potential candidates for further exploring
the mechanism underlying IVF/IVP-induced embryonic implant failure that occurs due to a loss of interaction
between the conceptus and endometrium during the peri-implantation period.

Abstract
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) increasingly is associated with long-term side-effects on postnatal development and behaviors. High-throughput gene expression analysis has been extensively used to explore mechanisms responsible for these disorders. Our study, for the first time, provides a comparative proteomic analysis between embryos after in vivo fertilization and development (IVO, control) and in vitro fertilization and culture (IVP). By comparing the dynamic proteome during the postimplantation period, we identified 300 and 262 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between IVO and IVP embryos at embryonic day 7.5 (E7.5) and E10.5, respectively. Bioinformatic analysis showed many DEPs functionally associated with post-transcriptional, translational, and post-translational regulation, and these observations were consistent with correlation analysis between mRNA and protein abundance. In addition to altered gene expression due to IVP procedures, our findings suggest that aberrant processes at these various levels also contributed to proteomic alterations. In addition, numerous DEPs were involved in energy and amino acid metabolism, as well as neural and sensory development. These DEPs are potential candidates for further exploring the mechanism(s) of ART-induced intrauterine growth restriction and neurodevelopmental disorders. Moreover, significant enrichment of DEPs in pathways of neurodegenerative diseases implies the potentially increased susceptibility of ART offspring to these conditions as adults.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the influence of macrophages on hepatocyte phenotype and function.
METHODS: Macrophages were differentiated from THP-1 monocytes via phorbol myristate acetate stimulation and the effects of monocyte or macrophage-conditioned medium on HepG2 mRNA and protein expression determined. The in vivo relevance of these findings was confirmed using liver biopsies from 147 patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
RESULTS: Conditioned media from macrophages, but not monocytes, induced a transient morphological change in hepatocytes associated with upregulation of vimentin (7.8 ± 2.5-fold, P = 0.045) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 (2.6 ± 0.2-fold, P < 0.001) and downregulation of epithelial cadherin (1.7 ± 0.02-fold, P = 0.017) mRNA expression. Microarray analysis revealed significant upregulation of lipocalin-2 (17-fold, P < 0.001) and pathways associated with inflammation, and substantial downregulation of pathways related to hepatocyte function. In patients with chronic HCV, real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry confirmed an increase in lipocalin-2 mRNA (F0 1.0 ± 0.3, F1 2.2 ± 0.2, F2 3.0 ± 9.3, F3/4 4.0 ± 0.8, P = 0.003) and protein expression (F1 1.0 ± 0.5, F2 1.3 ± 0.4, F3/4 3.6 ± 0.4, P = 0.014) with increasing liver injury. High performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis identified elevated levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 in macrophage-conditioned medium, and a chemical inhibitor of MMP-9 attenuated the change in morphology and mRNA expression of TGF-β1 (2.9 ± 0.2 vs 1.04 ± 0.1, P < 0.001) in macrophage-conditioned media treated HepG2 cells. In patients with chronic HCV infection, hepatic mRNA expression of CD163 (F0 1.0 ± 0.2, F1/2 2.8 ± 0.3, F3/4 5.3 ± 1.0, P = 0.001) and MMP-9 (F0 1.0 ± 0.4, F1/2 2.8 ± 0.3, F3/4 4.1 ± 0.8, P = 0.011) was significantly associated with increasing stage of fibrosis.
CONCLUSION: Secreted macrophage products alter the phenotype and function of hepatocytes, with increased expression of inflammatory mediators, suggesting that hepatocytes actively participate in liver injury.

Abstract
Pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAG) constitute a large family of glycoproteins found in the outer placental epithelial cell layer of the placenta in Eutherian species. In ruminants, they are noted to be structurally closely related among the different species. This study was designed to determine PAG concentrations in maternal and fetal plasma, allantoic and amniotic fluids in buffalo species. Antisera (AS) generated in rabbits against distinct PAG molecules were used in three radioimmunoassay (RIA)-PAG systems: RIA-1 (antiserum raised against bovine PAG67kDa; AS#497), RIA-2 (antiserum raised against caprine PAG55 + 62 kDa; AS#706) or RIA-3 (antiserum raised against buffalo PAG; AS#859). Samples were collected at a slaughterhouse (n = 67). PAG concentrations determined by RIA-2 gave significantly higher results in both allantoic and amniotic fluids (12.7 ± 2.1 ng/mL and 24.0 ± 7.3 ng/mL, respectively). Regarding maternal and fetal plasma, PAG concentrations obtained by RIA-2 (21.8 ± 2.4 ng/mL and 20.2 ± 2.5 ng/mL, respectively) and RIA-3 (25.0 ± 2.2 ng/mL and 21.9 ± 3.2 ng/mL, respectively) were higher than those obtained by RIA-1 (15.5 ± 1.4 ng/mL and 16.1 ± 1.8 ng/mL, respectively). The correlation among the three systems was very high. The study clearly reveals the ability of different PAG-RIA systems to measure PAG concentration in swamp buffalo samples.
