Alginate oligosaccharides increase boar semen quality by affecting gut microbiota and metabolites in blood and sperm. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:982152. [PMID: 36071975 PMCID: PMC9441641 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.982152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Alginate oligosaccharides (AOS), natural polymers from brown seaweeds (such as Laminaria japonica, Undaria pinnatifida, and Sargassum fusiforme), have been reported to possess many beneficial advantages for health. In the current study, after 9 weeks of dietary supplementation, AOS 10 mg/kg group (AOS 10) group increased boar sperm motility from 87.8% to 93.5%, p < 0.05. Moreover, AOS10 increased the relative abundances of Bifidobacterium, Coprococcus, Butyricicoccus (1.3–2.3-fold; p < 0.05) to increase the beneficial blood and sperm metabolites (1.2–1.6-fold; p < 0.05), and important sperm proteins such as gelsolin, Zn-alpha2 glycoprotein, Cation Channel Sperm-Associated Protein, outer dense fiber of sperm tails, etc. (1.5–2.2-fold; p < 0.05). AOS had a long-term beneficial advantage on boar semen quality by the increase in semen volume (175 vs. 160 ml/ejaculation, p < 0.05). AOS may be used as dietary additives for improving semen quality.

[PMID: 34466686 PMCID: PMC8384778 DOI: 10.1016/j.aninu.2021.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2020] [Revised: 03/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
Significant porcine embryonic loss occurs during conceptus morphological elongation and attachment from d 10 to 20 of pregnancy, which directly decreases the reproductive efficiency of sows. A successful establishment of pregnancy mainly depends on the endometrium receptivity, embryo quality, and utero-placental microenvironment, which requires complex cross-talk between the conceptus and uterus. The understanding of the molecular mechanism regulating the uterine-conceptus communication during porcine conceptus elongation and attachment has developed in the past decades. Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, which are intracellular reactive metabolites that regulate cell fate decisions and alter their biological functions, have recently reportedly been involved in porcine conceptus elongation and attachment. This mini-review will mainly focus on the recent researches about the role of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in regulating porcine embryo development during the pre-implantation period.

[PMID: 33049572 DOI: 10.1016/j.theriogenology.2020.08.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2019] [Revised: 07/09/2020] [Accepted: 08/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Signaling pathways and transcription factors are involved in porcine embryonic development. Here, we demonstrate that glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) inhibitor, CHIR99021 and recombinant porcine interleukin-6 (rpIL6) significantly promote porcine parthenogenetic blastocyst formation (49.23 ± 8.40% vs 32.34 ± 4.15%), with increased inner cell mass (ICM) cell numbers (7.72 ± 2.30 vs 4.28 ± 1.60) and higher expression of pluripotent genes, such as OCT4, SOX2 and NANOG. Furthermore, CHIR99021 and rpIL6 improve blastocyst quality with increased blastocyst hatching percentage (16.19 ± 1.96% vs 10.25 ± 1.12%) and subsequently porcine pluripotent stem cells (pPSCs) derivation efficiency. These results advance the understanding of porcine pre-implantation development and provide evidences in improving the blastocyst quality.
