Abstract
Iron and cobalt are micronutrients that play an important role in the regulation of cellular processes, being part of the centre of catalases, peroxidases, cytochromes and metalloproteins such as hemoglobin and myoglobin (Fe). Cobalt primarily functions as a component of hydroxycobalamin, which is essential for regulating red blood cell production. Maintaining normal levels of cobalt and iron in the human body is important, as a deficiency can lead to anaemia. These elements are also involved in reactions during which oxidative stress occurs and are therefore considered to be a cause of tumor formation. This paper will discuss aspects of the influence of cobalt and iron on mechanisms that may contribute to the growth of gynecological tumors, as well as other obstetric-gynecological disease entities, by altering the conditions of the microenvironment. In addition, the following review also highlights the role of cobalt and iron in the treatment of gynecological tumors.

Abstract
The role of copper and selenium on activation of estradiol synthesis pathways viz. PKA/AKT/WNT is not clearly elucidated. On this background we attempt to elcuiated the role of copper and selenium on mRNA expression of genes associated with estradiol synthesis in caprine ovarian granulose cell models. Ovarian granulosa cells from medium (3-5 mm) sized follicles were aspirated and distributed separately to different groups. Group I: control, Group II: cupric chloride (Cu: 0.5 mM), Group III: sodium selenite (Se: 100 ng/ml), Group IV: Cu + Se. The cells (105/well) were cultured in 96 well plate in the base culture medium of MEMα comprising of nonessential amino acids (1.1 mM), FSH (10 ng/mL), transferrin (5 µg/mL), IGF-I (2 ng/mL), androstenedione (10-6 M), penicillin (100 IU/mL), streptomycin (0.1 mg/mL) and fungizone (0.625 µl/mL) and insulin (1 ng/mL). The cells were incubated in a carbondioxide incubator (38 °C, 5% CO2, 95% RH). The medium was changed on alternate days and cells were harvested on day 6. Day 6 media was used for estimation of estradiol. The RNA isolated form harvested cells was used for qPCR assay. There was no significant (p > 0.05) difference in estradiol concentration between groups. The mRNA expression of AKT1, CYP19A1, WNT2 & 4, FZD6 and APC2 were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in Cu and Cu + Se groups compared to control. Whereas, the mRNA transcript of DVL1 and CSNK1 was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in Cu + Se group compared to control. Incontrast, no significant difference in mRNA expression of PRKAR1A and CTNNB1 was noticed. Our study support a key role of copper and selenium in activation of AKT and WNT signalling pathway that further lead to increase in the mRNA expression of CYP19A1.

Abstract
Vanadium is a metal present in particulate matter and its reprotoxic effects have been demonstrated in males and pregnant females in animal models. However, the effects of this metal on the reproductive organs of nonpregnant females have not been sufficiently studied. In a vanadium inhalation model in nonpregnant female mice, we found anestrous and estrous cycle irregularity, as well as low serum concentrations of 17β-estradiol and progesterone. A decrease in the diameter of secondary and preovulatory follicles, as well as a thickening of the myometrium and endometrial stroma, was observed in the vanadium-treated mice. There was no difference against the control group with respect to the presence of the estrogen receptor α in the uterus of the animals during the estrous stage. Our results indicate that when vanadium is administered by inhalation, effects are observed on the female reproductive organs and the production of female sex hormones.

In Vitro Effects of Vaspin on Porcine Granulosa Cell Proliferation, Cell Cycle Progression, and Apoptosis by Activation of GRP78 Receptor and Several Kinase Signaling Pathways Including MAP3/1, AKT, and STAT3. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:E5816.

Abstract
Vaspin, a visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor, is expressed in the porcine ovary; it induces the activation of various kinases and steroidogenesis. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of vaspin on granulosa (Gc) proliferation, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis. Porcine Gc was incubated with vaspin (0.01-10 ng/mL) for 24 to 72 h, proliferation was measured using alamarBlue assay, cell cycle progression was assessed using flow cytometry, and cyclin (D, E, and A) protein expression was measured using immunoblotting. Apoptosis was assessed by measuring caspase activity using Caspase-glo 3/7 assay. Furthermore, histone-associated DNA fragments levels were measured using a cell-death detection ELISA; BAX (bcl-2-like protein 4), BCL2 (B-cell lymphoma 2), caspases (-3, -8, and -9), p53 mRNA, and protein expression were assessed using real time PCR and immunoblotting. We found that vaspin significantly enhanced Gc proliferation and cell cycle progression into the S and G2/M phases and decreased apoptosis. We observed that siRNA silencing of the glucose-regulated protein (GRP78) receptor and pharmacological inhibitors of mitogen-activated kinase (MAP3/1/ERK1/2), Janus kinase (STAT3) and protein kinase B (AKT) blocked the ability of vaspin cell proliferation and enhanced caspase-3/7 activities. These results suggest that vaspin via mitogenic effect on porcine Gc acts as a new regulator of ovarian growth, development, or folliculogenesis.

Abstract
Nowadays nanoparticles have widespread application in various industriesbecause of their special and unique features, there are many studies in sideeffects of nanomaterial. This study done by 40 white female mice withevery other day intraperitoneally injection of low and high doses of both ofZnO kg of body weight) and FeOnanoparticles (5 and 40 mg/kg). After a 15 days period, the mice weresacrificed and blood samples were collected for hormone analysis, andtissue samples for morphometric studies.Statistical Analysis shows significant differences in LH, Estrogen,Progesterone hormone levels between groups, while there are insignificantdifferences in Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level between thegroups compared with its level in the control group.The results also show that the highest level of LH reach 7.2 mIU/ml in thegroups treated with low dose of zinc oxide, the highest level of FSH reach4.58 mIU/ml in the groups treated with low dose of zinc oxide, the highestlevel of Estrogen hormone reach 69.5 ng/ml in the groups treated with lowof dose zinc oxide and the highest level of Progesterone reach 1.9 ng/ml inthe groups treated with high dose iron oxide. We conclude from the resultsthat the low doses of ZnO has benefits in increasing fertility through highlevel of reproductive hormones, while the high levels of nanoparticlesreduce fertility and there is a relation between FeO nanoparticles andprogesterone levels which may need more future studies.Morphometric study of the ovary show increase in Follicular stagesnumber range in the group treated with Low dose ZnO in compare with itsrange in the control groups. The lower range was belong to the grouptreated with the high dose of FeO. No significant differences has beenfound in the diameter mean of the different follicular phases between thegroup treated with low dose of ZnO NPs in compared with the controlgroup. High dose of ZnO NPs cause significant increase in the diametermean of Primordial follicles in compared with the control group. Low andhigh dose FeO NPs treated groups show significant reduction in thediameter mean of the different follicular phases in compared with thecontrol group.

Abstract
The objective of this in vitro study was to examine dose-dependent changes in the secretion activity [progesterone (P4) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I)] of porcine ovarian granulosa cells after experimental mercury (Hg) administration, including its apoptotic potential so as to ascertain the possible involvement of Hg in steroidogenesis. Ovarian granulosa cells were incubated with mercuric chloride [mercury (II) chloride or HgCl2] at the doses 50-250 μg mL(-1) for 18 h and compared with control group without Hg addition. Release of P4 and IGF-I by ovarian granulosa cells was assessed by RIA and apoptosis by TUNEL assay. Observations show that P4 release by granulosa cells was significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited at all the doses, while IGF-I release was not affected at any of the doses used, although a decreasing trend in the release of IGF-I was noted in comparison to control. An increasing trend of apoptosis of granulosa cells was noted, the difference being significant (P < 0.05) only at the dose 130 μg mL(-1) HgCl2, in comparison to control. Obtained data suggest a direct effect of Hg on the release of steroid hormone progesterone but not growth factor IGF-I, and a dose-dependent effect on apoptosis of porcine ovarian granulosa cells. Results indicate the interference of Hg in the pathways of steroidogenesis and apoptosis of porcine ovarian granulosa cells.

Abstract
The objective of this in vitro study was to examine dose-dependent changes in the secretion activity (progesterone, 17β-estradiol and insulin-like growth factor-I) of rat ovarian fragments after experimental cobalt (Co) administration including the apoptotic potential of Co on rat ovarian fragments by evaluating the expression of apoptotic markers Bax and caspase-3. Ovarian fragments were incubated with cobalt sulphate (CoSO4.7H2O) at the doses 90, 170, 330 and 500 μg.mL(-1) for 24 h and compared with control group without Co addition. Release of progesterone (P4) 17β-estradiol and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) by ovarian fragments was assessed by RIA, expression of Bax and caspase-3 by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Observations show that P4 release by ovarian fragments was significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited after cobalt sulphate addition at higher doses 170-500 μg.mL(-1) used in the study in comparison to control. However, cobalt sulphate addition did not cause any significant change in the release of 17β-estradiol by ovarian fragments at all the doses used in the study (90-500 μg.mL(-1)) in comparison to control. On the contrary, IGF-I release by ovarian fragments was significantly (P < 0.05) stimulated after cobalt sulphate addition at the lowest dose 90 μg.mL(-1) in comparison to control, while other doses did not cause any significant change. Also, addition of cobalt sulphate decreased the expression of both the apoptotic peptides Bax and caspase-3 at the higher doses 170, 330 and 500 μg.mL(-1), but not at the lowest dose 90 μg.mL(-1) used in the study. Obtained results suggest Co induced (1) inhibition in secretion of steroid hormone progesterone, (2) dose-dependent increase in the release of growth factor IGF-I, and (3) decrease in the expression of markers of apoptosis (Bax and caspase-3) of rat ovarian fragments.

Abstract
Objective of this in vitro study was to examine the secretion activity (progesterone and insulin-like growth factor I) of porcine ovarian granulosa cells after copper (Cu) addition and to outline a potential intracellular mediator (cyclin B1) of its effects. It also aimed at investigating the apoptotic potential of Cu on porcine ovarian granulosa cells after addition in vitro. Ovarian granulosa cells were incubated with copper sulphate (CuSO4·5H2O) at the doses 0.33, 0.40, 0.50, 1.0 and 2.0 μL mL(-1) for 18 h and compared with control group without Cu addition. Release of progesterone (P4) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) by granulosa cells was assessed by RIA, expression of cyclin B1 by immunocytochemistry and apoptosis by TUNEL assay. Observations show that P4 release by granulosa cells was inhibited while the release of IGF-I and cyclin B1 was stimulated significantly (P < 0.05) by CuSO4·5H2O addition at the dose 2.0 μL mL(-1). Also, addition of CuSO4.5H2O at the lowest dose used in the study (0.33 μL mL(-1)) significantly (P < 0.05) decreased apoptosis in granulosa cells. In conclusion, results indicate dose dependent effect of Cu on (1) secretion of steroid hormone progesterone and growth factor IGF-I, (2) expression of cyclin B1 as marker of proliferation of porcine ovarian granulosa cells, (3) apoptosis of porcine ovarian granulosa cells and, (4) that the effect of Cu on ovarian cell proliferation could be mediated by IGF-I and cyclin B1. Obtained data suggest interference of Cu in the pathways of proliferation of porcine ovarian granulosa cells through hormonal and intracellular peptide cyclin B1.

Abstract
The present study was aimed at investigating the effect of nickel chloride (NiCl2) on secretion of progesterone (P), ultrastructure and apoptosis in porcine granulosa cells. NiCl2 was added to the cells to achieve a Ni(2+) concentration of 62.5, 125, 250, 500 and 1,000 μmol/L. A control group contained no NiCl2 addition. Quantification of P was performed directly from aliquots of the media from control and treated porcine granulosa cells after 48 h of culture using radioimmunoassay. Quantification of apoptotic cells was performed using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labelling assay, and ultrastructural changes were analyzed using transmission electron microscopy. A concentration-dependent depletion of P production was observed significantly for 1,000 μmol/L NiCl2. The percentage of apoptotic cells was increased in all experimental groups significantly only after addition of 1,000 μmol/L NiCl2. After addition of ≥250 μmol/L NiCl2, a higher incidence of euchromatin was observed. Also, lipid droplets and vacuoles in the cytoplasm increased after addition of ≥250 μmol/L NiCl2. NiCl2 induced the decrease in numbers of mitochondria and smooth endoplasmic reticulum after treatment with ≥500 μmol/L NiCl2. Our findings suggest a negative effect of NiCl2 on steroidogenesis and apoptosis as well as ultrastructure of porcine granulosa cells.

Abstract
The aim of this in vitro study was to examine the release of progesterone by porcine ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) after exposure to toxic concentrations of deoxynivalenol (DON), resveratrol (RSV), and their combination (DON with RSV). Ovarian granulosa cells were incubated without (control) or with treatments of natural substances at various doses for 24 h: RSV (10, 30 and 50 μg/mL) / DON (2000, 3000 and 5000 ng/mL), and their combination (10 μg/mL of RSV with 2000 ng/mL of DON; 30 μg/mL of RSV with 3000 ng/mL of DON; 50 μg/mL of RSV with 5000 ng/mL of DON). Progesterone was determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Progesterone release was significantly (P < 0.05) stimulated by RSV at the doses 50 μg/mL but not at 30 and 10 μg/mL and by DON treatment at all used doses (2000, 3000 and 5000 ng/mL). RSV in combination with DON stimulated significantly (P < 0.05) the progesterone release by GCs at the highest doses (50 μg/mL of RSV with 5000 ng/mL of DON). On the other hand, the stimulatory effect of RSV in combination with DON was significantly (P < 0.05) lower in comparison with alone DON effect. In conclusion, our results indicate, (1) the dose-depended stimulatory effects of RSV, DON and combination of RSV with DON on release of steroid hormone progesterone and (2) reduction of the stimulatory effect of DON by RSV. Our in vitro results suggest that reproductive toxicity of animals induced by a mycotoxin - deoxynivalenol can be inhibited by a protective natural substance - resveratrol.

Abstract
The general objective of this in vitro study was to examine the secretory activity (insulin-like growth factor I, IGF-I) of porcine ovarian granulosa cells after Ag addition and to outline the potential intracellular mediators (cyclin B1 and caspase-3) of its effects. Ovarian granulosa cells were incubated with silver nitrate (AgNO(3)) at the doses 0.09, 0.17, 0.33, 0.5 and 1.0 mg/mL for 18 h and compared to the control group without metal addition. The release of IGF-I by granulosa cells was assessed by RIA and expression of cyclin B1 and caspase-3 immunocytochemistry. Our observations show that IGF-I release by granulosa cells was significantly (P<0.05) stimulated by AgNO(3) addition at the doses (0.09-1.0 mg/mL). Similarly to IGF-I the cyclin B1 and caspase-3 expression in ovarian granulosa cells was stimulated by Ag addition (0.09-1.0 mg/mL). In conclusion, the present results indicate, a direct effect of Ag on (1) secretion of growth factor IGF-I, (2) expression of markers of proliferation (cyclin B1) and apoptosis (caspase-3) of porcine ovarian granulosa cells and (3) that the effect of Ag on ovarian cell proliferation could be mediated by IGF-I and cyclin B1. Obtained data indicate the interference of Ag in the pathways of proliferation and apoptosis of porcine ovarian granulosa cells through hormonal and intracellular peptides such as are cyclin B1 and caspase-3.

Abstract
It would be desirable to expand the existing general knowledge concerning direct action of metals on the ovary. Nevertheless, the results of testing of iron compound on porcine ovarian cells should be interpreted carefully because iron is an essential element which could also induce changes in cellular processes. The aim of this in vitro study was 1) to examine dose-dependent effects of iron on the secretory activity of porcine ovarian granulosa cells, and 2) to outline the potential intracellular mediators mediating these effects. Specifically, we evaluated the effect of iron sulphate on the release of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and progesterone, as well as the expression of markers of proliferation (cyclin B1) and apoptosis (caspase-3) in porcine ovarian granulosa cells. Concentrations of IGF-I and progesterone were determined by RIA, cyclin B1 and caspase-3 expression by immunocytochemistry (ICC). Our results show a significantly decreased IGF-I secretion by ovarian granulosa cells after iron sulphate addition at the doses 0.5 and 1.0 mg/ml. The iron sulphate additions at doses 0.17 and 1.0 mg/ml had no effect on progesterone secretion. In contrast, iron sulphate addition at doses 0.17-1.0 mg/ml resulted in stimulation of cyclin B1 and caspase-3 expression. In conclusion, the present results indicate a direct effect of iron on 1) secretion of growth factor IGF-I but not steroid hormone progesterone, 2) expression of markers of proliferation (cyclin B1), or 3) apoptosis (caspase-3) of porcine ovarian granulosa cells. These results support an idea that iron could play a regulatory role in porcine ovarian function: hormone release, proliferation and apoptosis.

Abstract
Molybdenum (Mo) is an essential trace element and it plays an important role in cell functions. The mechanism of the action of molybdenum in connection with growth factor IGF-I, proliferation-related peptide cyclin B1 and apoptosis-related peptide caspase-3 has not been examined previously in porcine ovarian granulosa cells. The general objective of this in vitro study was to examine the secretory activity of porcine ovarian granulosa cells after experimental Mo administration and to outline the potential intracellular mediators of its effects. Ovarian granulosa cells were incubated with ammonium molybdate for 18 hours: 1.0 mg/mL; 0.5 mg/mL; 0.33 mg/mL; 0.17 mg/mL and 0.09 mg/mL, while the control group received no Mo. The secretion of IGF-I was assessed by RIA and expression of cyclin B1 and caspase-3 by immunocytochemistry. IGF-I release was decreased by Mo addition at the doses 1.0 mg/mL and 0.5 mg/mL. The expression of cyclin B1 was stimulated by Mo addition at all doses ranging from 1.0-0.09 mg/mL. Caspase-3 expression was also stimulated after experimental Mo addition at the doses 1.0 and 0.5 mg/mL. These data contribute to new insights regarding the mechanism of action of Mo on porcine ovarian functions, secretory activity, proliferation and apoptosis of granulosa cells through hormonal and intracellular substances such as are cyclin B1 and caspase-3.
