Abstract
The role of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system has attracted close attention. The activity of IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) within the ovary has not been fully elucidated to date. These proteins bind to IGF with an equal, or greater, affinity than to the IGF1 receptor, thus being in the main position to regulate IGF signalling, in addition to extending the half-life of IGFs within the bloodstream and promoting IGF storage in specific tissue niches. IGF1 has an important part in cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Considering the importance of IGFs in oocyte maturation, this review sought to elucidate aspects including: IGF production mechanisms; constituent members of their family and their respective functions; the role that these factors play during folliculogenesis, together with their functions during oocyte maturation and apoptosis, and their performance during luteal development. This review also explores the role of IGFs in biotechnological applications, focusing specifically on animal genetic gain.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 789:147691. [PMID: 34082199 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.147691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2021] [Revised: 04/27/2021] [Accepted: 05/07/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Ovarian dysfunction has an intrauterine origin, and prenatal caffeine exposure (PCE) could lead to abnormal follicle counts in offspring after birth. However, the effect of PCE on offspring ovarian function and its mechanism of intrauterine programming have not been reported thus far. In this study, pregnant Wistar rats were intragastrically administered caffeine (30 and 120 mg/kg·d) at gestational days 9-20 (GD9-20). Certain tests were performed on the blood, ovaries and hypothalamus of female offspring at different time points. PCE female offspring had ovarian dysfunction in adulthood compared with the control. Further results showed that in utero ovarian morphological development and estradiol synthesis were inhibited but rapidly increased during puberty in the PCE group. The histone 3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) level of the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) promoter region and its expression were decreased in the ovary, which was due to exposure to high levels of fetal blood corticosterone, and the H3K27ac level of IGF1 and its expression shifted to increase after birth with a decrease in serum corticosterone levels. Chronic stress led to increased serum corticosterone levels in adult offspring, whereas ovarian morphological development, the H3K27ac level of IGF1 and its expression, and estradiol synthesis were significantly inhibited. Moreover, the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis was increased in the early postnatal period of PCE offspring, and chronic stress reversed these changes. In the KGN cell line, it was found that cortisol could promote the translocation of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) into the nucleus and upregulate histone deacetylase 10 (HDAC10) to inhibit the H3K27ac level of IGF1 and its expression and estradiol synthesis. In summary, PCE is associated with ovarian dysfunction in female adult offspring, and the potential mechanism is related to intrauterine high glucocorticoid exposure by activating the GR and recruiting HDAC10 to affect ovarian glucocorticoid-IGF1 axis programming and to inhibit estradiol synthesis.

Lee SH. Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells' Paracrine Factors in Conditioned Medium Can Enhance Porcine Oocyte Maturation and Subsequent Embryo Development. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22020579. [PMID: 33430095 PMCID: PMC7826973 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22020579] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2020] [Revised: 12/18/2020] [Accepted: 12/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
An essential requirement for the success of in vitro maturation (IVM) of the oocyte is to provide an optimal microenvironment similar to in vivo conditions. Recently, somatic cell-based coculture or supplementation of a conditioned medium during IVM has been performed to obtain better quality of oocytes, because they mimic the in vivo reproductive tract by secreting paracrine factors. In this study, human adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) and their conditioned medium (ASC-CM) were applied to IVM of porcine oocytes to evaluate the effectiveness of ASC on oocyte development and subsequent embryo development. In results, both ASC and ASC-CM positively influence on oocyte maturation and embryo development by regulating growth factor receptors (VEGF, FGFR, and IGFR), apoptosis (BCL2), cumulus expansion (PTGS2, HAS2, and TNFAIP6), and oocyte maturation-related genes (GDF9 and BMP15). In particular, the fluorescence intensity of GDF9 and BMP15 was markedly upregulated in the oocytes from the ASC-CM group. Furthermore, significantly high levels of growth factors/cytokine including VEGF, bFGF, IGF-1, IL-10, and EGF were observed in ASC-CM. Additionally, the ASC-CM showed active scavenging activity by reducing the ROS production in a culture medium. Consequently, for the first time, this study demonstrated the effect of human ASC-CM on porcine oocyte development and the alteration of mRNA transcript levels in cumulus–oocyte complexes.

"Immunolocalization and effect of low concentrations of Insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in the canine ovary". Vet Med Sci 2020; 7:46-56. [PMID: 32894655 PMCID: PMC7840201 DOI: 10.1002/vms3.347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2019] [Revised: 08/12/2020] [Accepted: 08/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Insulin like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) plays an important role in the regulation of ovarian function. Despite its extensive study in several species, there is a paucity of information about IGF‐1`s function and localization in the canine ovary. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of IGF‐1 on oocyte nuclear maturation and to immunolocalize the IGF‐1 and its receptor (IGF‐1R) in the ovary. Cumulus‐oocyte complexes (COCs) were obtained from 34 bitches. The COCs from each bitch were incubated in TCM 199‐HEPES in the absence (n = 199) or presence (n = 204) of 100 ng/ml IGF‐1 for 96 hr at 38ºC in 5% CO2, stained and evaluated for nuclear maturation by fluorescence microscopy. The results showed that the addition of IGF‐1 did not have an effect (p ˃ 0.05) on the nuclear maturation under these conditions. The immunohistochemical study revealed nuclear and cytoplasmic staining for IGF‐1 and IGF‐1R, respectively. Both were localized in all ovarian structures including the corpus luteum, but not in the granulosa cells from primordial follicles. In addition, IGF‐1 was not localized in the oocytes in tertiary follicles. The results obtained show the presence of IGF‐1 through the stages of follicular growth and in the corpus luteum of the canine ovary. However, its role on oocyte nuclear maturation could not be demonstrated.
