Abstract
A major factor limiting the development of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technology is the low success rate of pregnancy, mainly due to placental abnormalities disrupting the maternal-fetal balance during pregnancy. Although there has been some progress in research on the abnormal enlargement of cloned bovine placenta, there are still few reports on the direct regulatory mechanisms of enlarged cloned bovine placenta tissue. In this study, we conducted sequencing and analysis of transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics of placental tissues from SCNT cattle (n = 3) and control (CON) cattle (n = 3). The omics analysis results indicate abnormalities in biological functions such as protein digestion and absorption, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, the regulation of lipid breakdown, as well as glycerolipid metabolism, and arginine and proline metabolism in the placenta of SCNT cattle. Integrating these analyses highlights critical metabolic pathways affecting SCNT cattle placenta, including choline metabolism and unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis. These findings suggest that aberrant expressions of genes, proteins, and metabolites in SCNT placentas affect key pathways in protein digestion, growth hormone function, and energy metabolism. Our results suggest that abnormal protein synthesis, growth hormone function, and energy metabolism in SCNT bovine placental tissues contribute to placental hypertrophy. These findings offer valuable insights for further investigation into the mechanisms underlying SCNT bovine placental abnormalities.

Systematic biological and proteomics strategies to explore the regulation mechanism of Shoutai Wan on recurrent spontaneous Abortion's biological network. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2020; 263:113156. [PMID: 32763414 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.113156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2019] [Revised: 06/06/2020] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Shoutai Wan (STW) is a classic herbal formula for the treatment of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA), and clinical studies have shown the effectiveness of STW on RSA. However, the molecular mechanism of STW treatment of RSA is still unclear. METHODS (1) Animal experiments: The normal pregnancy model was established with CBA/J*BALB/C, and the RSA model was established by CBA/J*DBA/2. The RSA model CBA/J*DBA/2 pregnant mice were randomly divided into four groups (RSA model group, STW low, medium and high dose groups) according to the order of pregnancy, respectively. The drug administration starts from the first day of pregnancy to the 14th day of pregnancy. The embryo loss rate (ELR) of each group was calculated. (2) Proteomic analysis of decidual tissue: The total protein of decidual tissue of each group was isolated by solid phase pH gradient 2-DE technique. The differentially expressed protein spots were analyzed and identified by PDQuest images; the peptide quality fingerprinting (PMF) was obtained by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Then, the proteins were identified by Mascot software searching, their functions were identified by bioinformatics strategy. (3) The expression of HSP27, α-enolase and Transferrin was detected by Western blotting and the expression of Annexin A2 and Transferrin was detected by immunohistochemistry. (4) The differential proteins and potential targets were analyzed by systematic biological strategy. RESULTS (1) Compared with the normal group, the ELR in the RSA model group was significantly higher (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the ELR in the STW high, medium dose groups was lower (P < 0.01). (2) A 2-DE map of the decidual tissue of the RSA model group, normal pregnancy group, STW low, medium and high dose groups was established. Thirty proteins were identified. (3) The results of western blot showed that the expression of HSP27 and a-enolase in the RSA model group was higher than that in the normal group, and the expression of transferrin was lower (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression of HSP27 and a-enolase in STW high, medium dose groups was decreased (P < 0.01); Compared with the model group, the expression of Transferrin in the STW high dose group was increased (P < 0.01). (5) A lot of RSA treatment-related targets, biological processes and pathways were found after the systematic biological analysis. CONCLUSION (1) STW may reduce the ELR of the RSA mice. (2) The results of proteomics suggest that RSA is a complex process involving multiple proteins. STW can regulate the expression of various proteins in the decidual tissue of RSA mice, suggesting that it can act on multiple targets. (3) The results of western blotting of HSP27, a-enolase, transferrin were consistent with the results of proteomic analysis. (4) STW may achieve therapeutic effects by interfering with the targets, biological processes and signaling pathways discovered in this study.

Abstract
Cloned pigs generated by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) show a greater ratio of early abortion during mid-gestation than normal controls. X-linked genes have been demonstrated to be important for the development of cloned embryos. To determine the relationship between the expression of X-linked genes and abortion of cloned porcine fetuses, the expression of X-linked genes were investigated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR) and the methylation status of Xist DMR was performed by bisulfate-specific PCR (BSP). q-PCR analysis indicated that there was aberrant expression of X-linked genes, especially the upregulated expression of Xist in both female and male aborted fetuses compared to control fetuses. Results of BSP suggested that hypomethylation of Xist occurred in aborted fetuses, whether male or female. These results suggest that the abnormal expression of Xist may be associated with the abortion of fetuses derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos.
