Abstract
One of the initial causes of cystic ovarian disease (COD) is a failure in the normal ovulation mechanism. This study aimed to characterize the populations of immune cells (T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, monocytes-macrophages and granulocytes) present in the ovary of cows with COD and induced follicular persistence, and evaluate their relation with follicular persistence and cyst formation. The follicular persistence model was developed using a progesterone (P4) slow-release intravaginal device, to obtain subluteal concentrations of P4. Results evidenced that T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes and monocytes-macrophages in the cortex, medulla, and theca externa and interna of dominant follicles were higher in the control group than in the COD and all persistence groups. Granulocytes in the medulla and theca externa of dominant follicles were lower in the control group than in the COD group, and those in the cortex and medulla were lower in the control group than in the persistence groups. The presence of T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes and granulocytes in the follicular fluid was abundant, especially that of granulocytes, without differences between control and COD cows. These results suggest that the immune system potentially plays a role in the local mechanisms of COD pathogenesis in dairy cows. In spontaneous COD and in our follicular persistence model, the distribution of the cells studied was different from that in the control group. However, to our knowledge, this is the first report describing the presence of immune cells in bovine follicular fluid samples and the expression of steroid hormone receptors in infiltrating immune cells in the bovine ovary.

Abstract
The current study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism by which the cholecystokinin (CCK)-mediated CCKAR and CCKBR, as well as the molecular mechanisms of CCK-mediated insulin signalling pathway, regulate oestrogen in the granulosa cells. Also, the expression of CCK in ovaries, uterus, hypothalamus and pituitary gland was investigated in Camelus bactrianus. Ovaries, uterus, hypothalamus and pituitary gland were collected from six, three before ovulation (control) and three after ovulation, slaughtered Camelus bactrianus. Ovulation was induced by IM injection of seminal plasma before slaughtering in the ovulated group. The results showed that there were differences in the transcription and protein levels of CCK in various tissues before and after ovulation (p < .05, p < .01). After transfection with p-IRES2-EGFP-CCK, the mRNA and protein levels of CCK, CCKAR, CCKBR and ER in follicular granulosa cells were significantly upregulated (p < .05, p < .01), and the content of E2 was significantly upregulated (p < .01); On the contrary, after transfection with si-CCK, the mRNA and protein levels of CCK, CCKAR, CCKBR and ER in follicular granulosa cells were significantly downregulated (p < .05, p < .01), and the content of E2 was significantly downregulated (p < .01). Regulating CCK can affect the mRNA levels of INS, INSR, IGF and IGF-R. In summary, regulating the expression level of CCK can activate insulin-related signalling pathways by CCKR, thereby regulating the steroidogenic activity of granulosa cells.

Association of glucocorticoid receptor expression with key members of the insulin signaling pathway and heat shock proteins in the bovine ovary. Theriogenology 2023; 211:241-247. [PMID: 37677868 DOI: 10.1016/j.theriogenology.2023.08.023] [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: 04/20/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023]
Abstract
Glucocorticoids (GCs) act through their receptor (GR) as regulators in different biological processes such as reproduction. In the absence of GCs, the GR remains inactive in the cytoplasm by associating with heat shock proteins (HSPs), which act as molecular chaperones, among which the most relevant are HSP90 and HSP70. Cytoplasmic GC-activated GR mediates non-genomic effects, interacting with members of signaling pathways such as PI3K/Akt, which participates in several metabolic processes, including the insulin signaling pathway. The aim of the present study was to evaluate possible associations between the cytoplasmic GR and the main intermediates of the insulin signaling pathway and HSP90 and HSP70 in ovaries of dairy cows. To this end, the protein expression of cytoplasmic GR, key members of the insulin signaling pathway, and HSPs was evaluated in ovarian preovulatory follicles of non-lactating Holstein cows in proestrus. Positive associations were observed between protein expression of GR and HSP90, IRS1, pIRS1, PI3K and pAkt (p < 0.05; β > 0) in granulosa cells of dominant follicles of dairy cows. Instead, in theca cells, no associations were observed between protein expression of GR and members of the insulin signaling pathway or HSPs. These data provide evidence of the possible association between the non-genomic mechanisms of action of the GR and the insulin signaling pathway in the bovine ovary.

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.

Abstract
Theca cells (TCs) play a unique role in the structure and function of the ovary. They are not only the structural basis of the follicle but also the androgen-secreting cells in female mammals, which can affect the normal development and atresia of the follicle. The results showed that melatonin receptor (MTR) MT1 and MT2 were expressed on sheep TCs. In the present study, the effects of different concentrations of MT at 0, 10-10, 10-8, 10-6 and 10-4 M/L on sheep TCs with regards to the antioxidant levels, proliferation, apoptosis and steroid hormone secretion were investigated. The results showed that in sheep TCs, all concentrations of MT significantly decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentration and BAX expression; increased Cat, Sod1, and BCL-2 expression. The proliferation viability of TCs was significantly inhibited in all groups except for 10-10 M/L MT, and the expression of cyclin D1 and CDK4 was significantly reduced. MT significantly increased StAR expression and progesterone secretion in TCs, but there was no significant effect on androgen secretion and CYP11A1, CYP17A1 and 3β-HSD expression in all groups. MT-induced progesterone secretion was completely inhibited by Luzindole (a nonspecific MT1 and MT2 inhibitor) and partially inhibited by 4p-PDOT (specific MT2 inhibitor). MT-induced progesterone secretion can be inhibited by LY294002 (PI3K/AKT pathway inhibitor). This study indicated that MT inhibits apoptosis and proliferation of in vitro cultured sheep TCs, which has implications for slowing ovarian atresia and aging. MT activates the PI3K/Akt pathway to mediate the synthesis and secretion of progesterone by TCs. This study provides a basis for further exploration of the role of TCs on follicle development and ovarian steroid hormone secretion.

Abstract
The insulin signaling pathway plays an important role in the development of diabetes mellitus. The expression of insulin signaling pathway related proteins in the urine of diabetic patients has not been reported. The aim of this study was to analyze and verify the expression of insulin signaling pathway related proteins in the urine of diabetic patients without hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and to explore their clinical application value. Based on data-independent acquisition proteomics technology and bioinformatics, the urinary protein expression profile of diabetic patients without hypertension and hyperlipidemia was established. Western blot and enzyme-linked immunoassay were performed to verify the expression of insulin signaling pathway related proteins in the urine of diabetic patients. Sixteen proteins related to the insulin signaling pathway were screened in urine, and 7 of them were differentially expressed in the urine of diabetic patients without hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Further quantitative analysis showed that the downregulation of protein kinase CAMP-dependent type II regulatory subunit α, growth factor receptor bound protein 2, and guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(s) in the urine of diabetic patients without hyperlipidemia and hypertension was consistent with the preliminary screening results. In this exploratory study, we detected the expression of insulin signaling pathway related proteins in the urine of diabetic patients without hypertension and hyperlipidemia. protein kinase CAMP-dependent type II regulatory subunit α, growth factor receptor bound protein 2, and guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(s) in the urine of diabetic patients were downregulated, which was associated with diabetes. They may be promising noninvasive biomarkers for monitoring diabetes.

Abstract
The alteration of signaling molecules involved in the general metabolism of animals can negatively influence reproduction. In dairy cattle, the development of follicular cysts and the subsequent appearance of ovarian cystic disease (COD) often lead to decreased reproductive efficiency in the herd. The objective of this review is to summarize the contribution of relevant metabolic and nutritional sensors to the development of COD in dairy cows. In particular, we focus on the study of alterations of the insulin signaling pathway, adiponectin, and other sensors and metabolites relevant to ovarian functionality, which may be related to the development of follicular persistence and follicular formation of cysts in dairy cattle. The results of these studies support the hypothesis that systemic factors could alter the local scenario in the follicle, generating an adverse microenvironment for the resumption of ovarian activity and possibly leading to the persistence of follicles and to the development and recurrence of COD.

Abstract
In dairy cows, reproductive diseases such as cystic ovarian disease (COD) represent a major problem that impacts on dairy production. It has been postulated that the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system may contribute to follicular persistence and development of COD. Thus, the aim of the present study was to analyze relevant members of the IGF system in a critical period immediately after the expected time of ovulation, to obtain information about their role in follicular persistence in dairy cows. Proteins of the IGF system were evaluated at 0 (expected day of ovulation), 5, 10 and 15 days of follicular persistence to determine whether the changes previously detected in cows with COD occur early in COD pathogenesis. The serum concentration of IGF1 was higher in cows with 10 and 15 days of follicular persistence than in control cows. IGF1 expression in granulosa cells was similar in the follicles analyzed. In contrast, in theca cells, persistent follicles of days 5 and 10 showed the lowest IGF1 expression. IGF binding protein (IGFBP) 2 and 3 expression was lower in persistent follicles than in dominant follicles of the control group. Although IGF receptor (IGFR) 1 expression was similar in the groups analyzed, p-IGFR1 expression was significantly higher in dominant follicles of the control group than in persistent follicles. These data suggest alterations in the IGF system at the early stages of follicular persistence. The evidences obtained allow supporting that the IGF system could plays a key role in dairy cattle reproduction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Both obesity and diabetes play a significant role in reproductive disorders in women and insulin resistance (IR) is a confirmed trait d'union. We evaluated the relationship between IR and an established ovarian reserve biomarker such as anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) together with other potential modulators of ovarian physiology (adiponectin and kisspeptin) in young reproductive-aged group women with obesity and type 1 diabetes (T1D). PATIENTS AND METHODS We recruited 32 female youths: 14 of them presented with T1D (14.6 ± 2.6 years) and 18 with obesity (15.1 ± 2.6 years). The control group included 20 age-matched normal weight females. Each patient underwent physical examination and hormonal assessment. AMH, kisspeptin and adiponectin levels were also measured. IR was calculated as the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and the glucose disposal rate (eGDR) in patients with obesity and with T1D, respectively. RESULTS adiponectin and kisspeptin levels were significantly different into groups (p ≤ .001), whereas AMH levels were not. Adiponectin values were higher in controls compared to patients with obesity (p < .001) and T1D (p = .02). Kisspeptin levels were lower in controls compared to patients with obesity (p = .001), without reaching statistical significance when compared to T1D (p = .06). IR was associated with lower adiponectin and higher kisspeptin levels (p < .001 and p = .02, respectively), but not with AMH. CONCLUSIONS IR displays a relationship with adiponectin and kisspeptin in young reproductive-aged women with obesity and T1D. Interventions to correct IR in adolescents could be part of an early approach to prevent reproductive disorders and to promote factors associated with longevity in adult women.
