Abstract
The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the influence of nanoselenium (NANO-Se) addition on milk production, milk fatty acid synthesis, the development and metabolism regulation of mammary gland in dairy cows. Forty-eight Holstein dairy cows averaging 720 ± 16.8 kg of body weight, 66.9 ± 3.84 d in milk (dry matter intake [DIM]) and 35.2 ± 1.66 kg/d of milk production were divided into four treatments blocked by DIM and milk yields. Treatments were control group, low-Se (LSe), medium-Se (MSe) and high-Se (HSe) with 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 mg Se, respectively, from NANO-Se per kg dietary dry matter (DM). Production of energy- and fat-corrected milk (FCM) and milk fat quadratically increased (p < 0.05), while milk lactose yields linearly increased (p < 0.05) with increasing NANO-Se addition. The proportion of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) linearly decreased (p < 0.05), while proportions of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) linearly increased and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) quadratically increased. The digestibility of dietary DM, organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) quadratically increased (p < 0.05). Ruminal pH quadratically decreased (p < 0.01), while total VFA linearly increased (p < 0.05) with increasing NANO-Se addition. The acetic to propionic ratio decreased (p < 0.05) linearly due to the unaltered acetic molar percentage and a quadratical increase in propionic molar percentage. The activity of CMCase, xylanase, cellobiase and pectinase increased linearly (p < 0.05) following NANO-Se addition. The activity of α-amylase increased linearly (p < 0.01) with an increase in NANO-Se dosage. Blood glucose, total protein, estradiol, prolactin, IGF-1 and Se linearly increased (p < 0.05), while urea nitrogen concentration quadratically decreased (p = 0.04). Moreover, the addition of Se at 0.3 mg/kg from NANO-Se promoted (p < 0.05) mRNA and protein expression of PPARγ, SREBP1, ACACA, FASN, SCD, CCNA2, CCND1, PCNA, Bcl-2 and the ratios of p-ACACA/ACACA and BCL2/BAX4, but decreased (p < 0.05) mRNA and protein expressions of Bax, Caspase-3 and Caspase-9. The results suggest that milk production and milk fat synthesis increased by NANO-Se addition by stimulating rumen fermentation, nutrients digestion, gene and protein expressions concerned with milk fat synthesis and mammary gland development.

Li H, Wang H, Cui L, Liu K, Guo L, Li J, Dong J. The effect of selenium on the proliferation of bovine endometrial epithelial cells in a lipopolysaccharide-induced damage model. BMC Vet Res 2024; 20:109. [PMID: 38500165 PMCID: PMC10946195 DOI: 10.1186/s12917-024-03958-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endometritis is a common bovine postpartum disease. Rapid endometrial repair is beneficial for forming natural defense barriers and lets cows enter the next breeding cycle as soon as possible. Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element closely related to growth and development in animals. This study aims to observe the effect of Se on the proliferation of bovine endometrial epithelial cells (BEECs) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and to elucidate the possible underlying mechanism. RESULTS In this study, we developed a BEECs damage model using LPS. Flow cytometry, cell scratch test and EdU proliferation assay were used to evaluate the cell cycle, migration and proliferation. The mRNA transcriptions of growth factors were detected by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) and Wnt/β-catenin pathways were detected by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. The results showed that the cell viability and BCL-2/BAX protein ratio were significantly decreased, and the cell apoptosis rate was significantly increased in the LPS group. Compared with the LPS group, Se promoted cell cycle progression, increased cell migration and proliferation, and significantly increased the gene expressions of TGFB1, TGFB3 and VEGFA. Se decreased the BCL-2/BAX protein ratio, promoted β-catenin translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and activated the Wnt/β-catenin and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways inhibited by LPS. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, Se can attenuate LPS-induced damage to BEECs and promote cell proliferation and migration in vitro by enhancing growth factors gene expression and activating the PI3K/AKT and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways.

Sodium selenite preserves rBM-MSCs' stemness, differentiation potential, and immunophenotype and protects them against oxidative stress via activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway. BMC Complement Med Ther 2023; 23:131. [PMID: 37098557 PMCID: PMC10127330 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-023-03952-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 04/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The physiological level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is necessary for many cellular functions. However, during the in-vitro manipulations, cells face a high level of ROS, leading to reduced cell quality. Preventing this abnormal ROS level is a challenging task. Hence, here we evaluated the effect of sodium selenite supplementation on the antioxidant potential, stemness capacity, and differentiation of rat-derived Bone Marrow MSCs (rBM-MSCs) and planned to check our hypothesis on the molecular pathways and networks linked to sodium selenite's antioxidant properties. METHODS MTT assay was used to assess the rBM-MSCs cells' viability following sodium selenite supplementation (concentrations of: 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 µM). The expression level of OCT-4, NANOG, and SIRT1 was explored using qPCR. The adipocyte differentiation capacity of MSCs was checked after Sodium Selenite treatment. The DCFH-DA assay was used to determine intracellular ROS levels. Sodium selenite-related expression of HIF-1α, GPX, SOD, TrxR, p-AKT, Nrf2, and p38 markers was determined using western blot. Significant findings were investigated by the String tool to picture the probable molecular network. RESULTS Media supplemented with 0.1 µM sodium selenite helped to preserve rBM-MSCs multipotency and keep their surface markers presentation; this also reduced the ROS level and improved the rBM-MSCs' antioxidant and stemness capacity. We observed enhanced viability and reduced senescence for rBM-MSCs. Moreover, sodium selenite helped in rBM-MSCs cytoprotection by regulating the expression of HIF-1 of AKT, Nrf2, SOD, GPX, and TrxR markers. CONCLUSIONS We showed that sodium selenite could help protect MSCs during in-vitro manipulations, probably via the Nrf2 pathway.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix is important in cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. Gelatin, a support for adhering cells, is used for coating culture plate surfaces of several primary and stem cells. However, gelatin characteristics on culture plates and its cell interactions are not understood. Here, we aimed to identify the effect of gelatin topography on culture plates on the proliferation and colony formation of porcine spermatogonial germ cells (pSGC). To generate different surface topographies, gelatin powder was dissolved in H2O at varying melting temperatures (40, 60, 80, and 120 °C) and coated on the surface of the culture plates. At 40 °C, the pores of the gelatin scaffold were regular ellipses 5-6 μm in diameter and 10-30 nm in thickness. However, at 120 °C, irregular pores 20-30 μm in diameter and 10-20 nm in thickness were obtained. Additionally, the number of attached cells and pSGC colonies were significantly more at 40 °C than at 120 °C after a week of culture. Interestingly, the feeder cells did not settle properly at 120 °C but detached easily from the culture dishes. PSGC colonies were 100 μm in diameter at 40 °C, with small and detached colonies observed at 120 °C. Thus, optimal topography of gelatin was obtained at 40 °C, which was sufficient for the proliferation of feeder cells and the formation of pSGC colonies. Thus, gelatin scaffold conditions at 40 °C and 60 °C were optimal for the derivation and culture of pSGC, and gelatin surface morphology is important for the maintenance of supportive feeder cells for pSGC proliferation and colony formation.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the expression pattern of spermatogenesis associated protein 6 (SPATA6) in Hu sheep testis and to ascertain the effects of SPATA6 on sheep Leydig cells (LCs) function linked to spermatogenesis. In the present study, we detected a 1970 bp cDNA fragment of SPATA6 included a 1467 bp coding sequence which encoded 487 amino acids. Meanwhile, sheep SPATA6 shared 51.70%-97.41% amino acid sequences with its orthologs compared with other species. In addition, SPATA6 was highly expressed in testis and localized in cytoplasm and nucleus of LCs as well as spermatogenic cells at different stages. Compared to the negative control (NC), SPATA6 interference promoted apoptosis of LCs with the increase of BAX/BCL-2 mRNA and protein levels, while the results of SPATA6 overexpression were on the contrary. Meanwhile, cell cycle was blocked at G2/M phase and CDK1 and CCNB1 were down-regulated after SPATA6 interference. SPATA6 overexpression induced cell cycle transfer G0/G1 into S and G2/M phase with upregulation of CDK1, CDK4, CCND1 and CCND2. Moreover, the secretion of testosterone hormone and the expression of StAR in LCs with SPATA6 overexpression were significantly promoted. Overall, our data suggest that SPATA6 is an important functional molecule of spermatogenesis, via regulating the proliferation, apoptosis and testosterone biosynthesis of Hu sheep LCs. These findings will enhance the understanding of the roles of SPATA6 in sheep spermatogenesis.

J Cell Physiol 2020; 236:1481-1493. [PMID: 32692417 DOI: 10.1002/jcp.29954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2019] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Spermatogenesis is a complex process that originates from and depends on the spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). The number of SSCs is rare, which makes the separation and enrichment of SSCs difficult and inefficient. The transcription factor PAX7 maintains fertility in normal spermatogenesis in mice. However, for large animals, much less is known about the SSCs' self-renewal regulation, especially in dairy goats. We isolated and enriched the CD49f-positive and negative dairy goat testicular cells by magnetic-activated cell sorting strategies. The RNA- sequencing and experimental data revealed that cells with a high CD49f and PAX7 expression are undifferentiated spermatogonia in goat testis. Our findings indicated that ZBTB16 (PLZF), PAX7, LIN28A, BMPR1B, FGFR1, and FOXO1 were expressed higher in CD49f-positive cells as compared to negative cells and goat fibroblasts cells. The expression and distribution of PAX7 in dairy goat also have been detected, which gradually decreased in testis tissue along with the increasing age. When the PAX7 gene was overexpressed in dairy goat immortal mGSCs-I-SB germ cell lines, the expression of PLZF, GFRα1, ID4, and OCT4 was upregulated. Together, our data demonstrated that there is a subset of spermatogonial stem cells with a high expression of PAX7 among the CD49f+ spermatogonia, and PAX7 can maintain the self-renewal of CD49f-positive SSCs.
