Abstract
The present paper provides the first integrative assessment of the capacity of dietary, endogenous and other agents to induce hormetic dose responses in oocytes, their supportive cells such as granulosa cells, blastocyst formation and early stage embryo development with the goal of improving fertility and reproductive success. The analysis showed that numerous agents enhance oocyte maturation and blastocyst/embryonic development in an hormetic fashion. These findings indicate that numerous agents improve oocyte-related biological functioning under normal conditions as well as enhancing its capacity to prevent damage from numerous chemical toxins and related stressor agents, including heat and age-related processes in pre-post conditioning and concurrent exposures. The present assessment suggests that hormetic-based lifestyles and dietary interventions may offer the potential to enhance healthy reproductive performance with applications to animal husbandry and human biology. The present findings also significantly extend the generality of the hormesis dose response concept to multiple fundamental biological processes (i.e., oocyte maturation, fertilization and blastocyst/embryo development).

Allicin in pregnancy diets modulates steroid metabolism in pregnant sows and placental sulphate metabolism promoting placental angiogenesis and foetal development. Animal 2024; 18:101224. [PMID: 39024999 DOI: 10.1016/j.animal.2024.101224] [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: 02/24/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
The low-birth-weight of piglets is an important factor affecting pig enterprises. The placenta, as a key organ for material exchange between mother and foetus, directly influences the growth and development of the foetus. Allicin exhibits various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It may also play a crucial role in enhancing sow reproductive performance and placental angiogenesis. In this study, we used 70 lactating Landrace × Yorkshire binary heterozygous sows to explore the effect of allicin on the reproductive performance of sows and placental development. The sows were randomly assigned into the Allicin group (Allicin), which was fed with a diet containing 0.25% allicin, and the negative control group, which was fed with basal feed. The experimental period lasted for 114 d from the date of mating to the end of farrowing. The results showed that the addition of allicin to the gestation diets increased the number of total born piglets, born alive piglets, and high-birth-weight piglets, reduced peripartum oxidative stress, alleviated dysregulation of glucose-lipid metabolism in sows, and increased the levels of antioxidant markers in the placenta. Differential analysis of metabolites in maternal plasma and placenta samples by non-targeted metabolomics revealed that allicin improved cholesterol metabolism, steroid biosynthesis, and increased plasma progesterone levels in sows. Allicin promoted sulphur metabolism, cysteine and methionine metabolism in placental samples and increased the hydrogen sulphide (H2S) content in the placenta. In addition, Quantitative Real-time PCR, Western blot and immunofluorescence results showed that allicin upregulated the expression of angiogenesis-related genes, VEGF-A, FLK 1 and Ang 1, in the placenta, implying that it promoted placental angiogenesis. These results indicate that supplementing the diet of pregnant sows with allicin reduces oxidative stress, alleviates dysregulation of glucose-lipid metabolism during the periparturient period, and promotes placental angiogenesis and foetal development by increasing plasma progesterone level and placental H2S content.

Abstract
Alternative splicing (AS) is a crucial mechanism in post-transcriptional regulation, contributing significantly to the diversity of the transcriptome and proteome. In this study, we performed a comprehensive AS profile in nine tissues obtained from Duroc (lean-type) and Luchuan (obese-type) pigs. Notably, 94,990 AS events from 14,393 genes were identified. Among these AS events, it was observed that 80% belonged to the skipped exon (SE) type. Functional enrichment analysis showed that genes with more than ten AS events were closely associated with tissue-specific functions. Additionally, the analysis of overlap between differentially alternative splicing genes (DSGs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) revealed the highest number of overlapped genes in the heart and skeletal muscle. The novelty of our study is that it identified and validated three genes (PYGM, MAPK11 and CAMK2B) in the glucagon signaling pathway, and their alternative splicing differences were highly significant across two pig breeds. In conclusion, our study offers novel insights into the molecular regulation of diverse tissue physiologies and the phenotypic differences between obese- and lean-type pigs, which are helpful for pig breeding.

Abstract
In mammals, oogenesis initiates before birth and pauses at the dictyate stage of meiotic prophase I until luteinizing hormone (LH) surges to resume meiosis. Oocyte maturation refers to the resumption of meiosis that directs oocytes to advance from prophase I to metaphase II of meiosis. This process is carefully modulated to ensure a normal ovulation and successful fertilization. By generating excessive amounts of oxidative stress, environmental toxicants can disrupt the oocyte maturation. In this review, we categorized these environmental toxicants that induce mitochondrial dysfunction and abnormal spindle formation. Further, we discussed the underlying mechanisms that hinder oocyte maturation, including mitochondrial function, spindle formation, and DNA damage response.

Heliyon 2023; 9:e18729. [PMID: 37554781 PMCID: PMC10404742 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e18729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/10/2023] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the colonic microbiome compositions and immune response and reveal their correlations in weaned piglets fed with garlic essential oil (GEO). Twelve 21-day-old crossbred piglets with the same parity and similar weight (BW = 7.07 ± 0.37 Kg) were randomly divided into control and experimental groups based on BW and sex, which fed either a basal diet (CON group), or a basal diet supplemented with 1.5 g/kg GEO (GEO group). UHPLC-QE-MS showed the main component of GEO were belonged to carbohydrates, organic acid, flavonoids, phenylpropanoids and terpenoids. GEO decreased serum IL-1β, IL-8 content and the down-regulated mRNA expression of IFN-γ, TLR2 in jejunal mucosa but increased serum IgG, IL-4 content and up-regulated the mRNA expression of IL-4, IL-1β, TNF-α in ileal mucosa. What's more, the metagenomic analysis demonstrated that GEO increased the abundance of Bacteroidetes, Euryarchaeota and Spirochaetes, while decreased the abundance of Firmicutes and Actinobacteria at Phylum level and Selenomonas_boris, Selenomonadaceae_bacterium_DSM_108025, Clostridiales_bacterium and Phascolarctobacterium_succinatutens at species level. Notably, the main function pathway of virulence factor (VFDB) enriched in GEO group were Fibronection-binding protein, Zn++ metallophrotease and Capsular polysaccharide, while the main function pathway of VFDB enriched in CON group were heme biosynthesis, Lap and FeoAB. Spearman correlation analysis indicated the Spirochaetes had a positive association with IL-6 and IL-4. Acinobacteria was positively correlated with IL-1β, while negative with the IL-6; In addition, Euryarchaeota had a positive correlation with IL-4, but a negative correlation with IL-1β; Tenericutes was negative with IL-8; Phascolarcolarctobacterium_succinatutens and was negative with IL-6; Ruminococcaceae_bacterium was negative with TNF-α. While Selenomonadaceae_bacterium_DSM_108025 had a positive correlation with IL-8. In conclusion, our results uncovered that immune regulation effects of GEO may be associated with the microbiome compositions in response to GEO.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS), as a central toxic factor of gram-negative bacteria, can induce oxidative stress and cellular inflammation to result in the impairment of female fertility in different organisms. Particularly, it has harmful effects on the oocyte quality and subsequent embryonic development. However, the approach concerning how to prevent oocytes from LPS-induced deterioration still remains largely unexplored. We assessed the effective influences of velvet antler water extract (VAWE) by immunostaining and fluorescence intensity quantification on the meiotic maturation, mitochondrial function and sperm binding ability of oocytes under oxidative stress. Here, we report that VAWE treatment restores the quality of porcine oocytes exposed to LPS. Specifically, LPS exposure contributed to the failed oocyte maturation, reduced sperm binding ability and fertilization capability by disturbing the dynamics and arrangement of meiotic apparatuses and organelles, including spindle assembly, chromosome alignment, actin polymerization, mitochondrial dynamics and cortical granule distribution, the indicators of oocyte nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation. Notably, VAWE treatment recovered these meiotic defects by removing the LPS-induced excessive ROS and thus inhibiting the apoptosis. Collectively, our study illustrates that VAWE treatment is a feasible strategy to improve the oocyte quality deteriorated by the LPS-induced oxidative stress.

Reprod Toxicol 2023; 115:85-93. [PMID: 36549457 DOI: 10.1016/j.reprotox.2022.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a significant virulence factor of gram-negative bacteria, adversely affects female reproduction, especially the maturation and early embryonic development of oocytes, through inducing of inflammatory and oxidative stress-associated toxic responses. Resveratrol (Res), a potent antioxidant, exhibits many beneficial effects on the maturation and developmental competence of oocytes. However, it is unclear whether Res can restore LPS-induced defects in the maturation of oocytes during meiosis. In this study, we used porcine oocytes to explore the protective effects of Res and its underlying mechanism against the toxic impacts of LPS exposure on meiotic maturation and developmental competence of oocytes during meiosis. The oocytes were randomly assigned to a control, LPS-exposed or Res-supplemented group. Nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation was assessed after 26 h (MI) or 44 h (MII) of in vitro maturation (IVM). Our results showed that 10 µM Res significantly improved the rates of oocyte maturation and blastocyst formation after exposure to 15 µg/mL LPS. In addition, Res preserved the normal spindle/chromosome structure and maintained acetylated tubulin levels, actin polymerization and cortical granules (CGs) distribution. Additionally, Res protected mitochondrial content and function, scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS), and reduced DNA damage and apoptosis in LPS-exposed oocytes. Furthermore, inhibition of SIRT1 by its specific inhibitor EX527 suppressed the recovery of ROS levels, mitochondrial content, and spindle/chromosome structure by Res supplementation. In summary, this study shows that Res can alleviate the impacts of LPS-induced toxicity on meiosis in porcine oocytes by upregulating SIRT1, which ameliorates oxidative stress and increasing mitochondrial content.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of allicin binding on the structure, antioxidant and antibacterial properties of soy protein isolate (SPI). Results showed that allicin bound to 82.6 % free thiol groups of SPI at a molar ratio of 0.5. The combination of allicin and SPI significantly affected the structure of protein. Result of circular dichroism showed that the content of α-helix decreased by 26.9 % and the content of β-sheet increased by 12.2 % over control when the molar ratio was 0.5. The result of surface hydrophobicity signified the unfolding of SPI with the action of allicin. These results implied that allicin binding might be a suitable method for the modification of SPI. Furthermore, the antibacterialand antioxidant experiments indicated that allicin-SPI conjugates not only had the capacity to inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphyloccocus aureus, but also had DPPH and ABTS radicals scavenging activities.
