Abstract
Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic disease with unknown etiopathogenesis and varying disease presentations. Fatty acids (FA) are essential biological compounds that are involved in complex metabolic pathways. They may contribute to inflammation and endothelial dysfunction by participating in many signaling pathways. Increased FAs levels are associated with an increased risk for various diseases. This study aimed to determine the relationship between FA, BD, and thrombotic complications. A total of 97 patients were recruited from the rheumatology department of a single center as a case-control study. The participants were divided into three groups: 36 patients with BD with thrombosis (Group 1), 24 patients with BD without thrombosis (Group 2), and 37 age- and sex-matched controls (Group 3). The analysis of 37 different FA with carbon numbers in the range of (4:0) and (24:1) in the samples were analyzed and compared between groups. Myristic acid (MA), methyl eicosatrienoate, and stearic acid (STA) levels were found to be significantly higher in BD with thrombosis than in BD without thrombosis, and palmitic acid (PA) levels were significantly higher in BD with thrombosis than in healthy individuals. MA was found to be a significant marker for differentiating between thrombotic BD. PA and STA are important markers for detecting thrombotic BD. In BD, lipotoxicity created by FA, such as PA, STA, and MA, plays a role as an inducer of inflammation and thrombosis through various mechanisms.

Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:3589. [PMID: 38003206 PMCID: PMC10668692 DOI: 10.3390/ani13223589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
This paper focuses on the role of n-3 fatty acids as a nutrient crucial to the proper functioning of reproductive and immune systems in cattle. Emphasis was placed on the connection between maternal and offspring immunity. The summarized results confirm the importance and beneficial effect of n-3 family fatty acids on ruminant organisms. Meanwhile, dietary n-3 fatty acids supplementation, especially during the critical first week for dairy cows experiencing their peripartum period, in general, is expected to enhance reproductive performance, and the impact of its supplementation appears to be dependent on body condition scores of cows during the drying period, the severity of the negative energy balance, and the amount of fat in the basic feed ration. An unbalanced, insufficient, or excessive fatty acid supplementation of cows' diets in the early stages of pregnancy (during fetus development) may affect both the metabolic and nutritional programming of the offspring. The presence of the polyunsaturated fatty acids of the n-3 family in the calves' ration affects not only the performance of calves but also the immune response, antioxidant status, and overall metabolism of the future adult cow.

Abstract
Research question How long does it take for an obesogenic (high-fat/high-sugar, HF/HS) diet to influence the oviductal microenvironment? What are the affected cellular pathways and are they dependent on the genetic background of the mouse model? Design Female Swiss (outbred) and C57BL/6N (B6, inbred) mice were fed either a control (10% fat) or HF/HS (60% fat, 20% fructose) diet. Body weight was measured weekly. Mice were sacrificed at 3 days (3d), 1 week (1w), 4w, 8w, 12w and 16w on the diet (n = 5 per treatment per time point). Total cholesterol concentrations and inflammatory cytokines were measured in serum. Oviductal epithelial cells (OECs) were used to study the expression of genes involved in (mitochondrial) oxidative stress (OS), endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and inflammation using qPCR. Results Body weight and blood cholesterol increased significantly in the HF/HS mice in both strains compared to controls. In Swiss mice, HF/HS diet acutely increased ER-stress and OS-related genes in the OECs already after 3d. Subsequently, mitochondrial and cytoplasmic antioxidants were upregulated and ER-stress was alleviated at 1w. After 4-8w (mid-phase), the expression of ER-stress and OS-related genes was increased again and persisted throughout the late-phase (12-16w). Serum inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory marker-gene expression in the OECs were increased only in the late-phase. Some of the OEC stress responses were stronger or earlier in the B6. Conclusions OECs are sensitive to an obesogenic diet and may exhibit acute stress responses already after a few days of feeding. This may impact the oviductal microenvironment and contribute to diet-induced subfertility.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a pathology with a hard-to-detect onset and is estimated to be present in a quarter of the adult human population. To improve our understanding of the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, we treated a human hepatoma cell line model, HepG2, with increasing concentrations of common fatty acids, namely myristic, palmitic and oleic acid. To reproduce more physiologically representative conditions, we also included combinations of these fatty acids and monitored the cellular response with an in-depth proteomics approach and imaging techniques. The two saturated fatty acids initially presented a similar phenotype of a dose-dependent decrease in growth rates and impaired lipid droplet formation. Detailed analysis revealed that the drop in the growth rates was due to delayed cell-cycle progression following myristic acid treatment, whereas palmitic acid led to cellular apoptosis. In contrast, oleic acid, as well as saturated fatty acid mixtures with oleic acid, led to a dose-dependent increase in lipid droplet volume without adverse impacts on cell growth. Comparing the effects of harmful single-fatty-acid treatments and the well-tolerated fatty acid mixes on the cellular proteome, we were able to differentiate between fatty-acid-specific cellular responses and likely common lipotoxic denominators.

Abstract
As a type I interferon response gene, ubiquitin-specific protease 18 (USP18) has been shown to be widely involved in oxidative stress and immune regulation processes. However, the relationship between USP18 and acute lung injury (ALI) is unclear. This study aimed to analyze the role of USP18 in the pathogenesis of ALI. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment up-regulated the expression of USP18 mRNA and protein in human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (hPMVECs). USP18 overexpression increased the viability of LPS-induced hPMVECs, and reduced LPS-induced cell damage. Additionally, USP overexpression increased the activity of SOD and CAT, and reduced the production of NO and MDA in LPS-induced hPMVECs. Moreover, overexpression of USP18 inhibited the secretion of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-18 in LPS-induced hPMVECs. USP18 overexpression restrained LPS-induced upregulation of TLR4 and the excessive phosphorylation of p65 and IκBα, as well as the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). TLR4 agonist MPLA attenuated the inhibitory effect of USP18 overexpression on LPS-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in hPMVECs. In addition, USP18 ameliorated LPS induced ALI in vivo. In conclusion, USP18 may resist LPS-induced oxidative stress and inflammatory response in hPMVECs by inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB/ROS signaling pathway, which may provide new and complementary strategies for ALI treatment.

Abstract
Autophagy (a process of cellular self-eating) is a conserved cellular degradative process that plays important roles in maintaining homeostasis and preventing nutritional, metabolic, and infection-mediated stresses. Surprisingly, little attention has been paid to the role of this cellular function in species of agronomical interest, and the details of how autophagy functions in the development of phenotypes of agricultural interest remain largely unexplored. Here, we first provide a brief description of the main mechanisms involved in autophagy, then review our current knowledge regarding autophagy in species of agronomical interest, with particular attention to physiological functions supporting livestock animal production, and finally assess the potential of translating the acquired knowledge to improve animal development, growth and health in the context of growing social, economic and environmental challenges for agriculture.Abbreviations: AKT: AKT serine/threonine kinase; AMPK: AMP-activated protein kinase; ASC: adipose-derived stem cells; ATG: autophagy-related; BECN1: beclin 1; BNIP3: BCL2 interacting protein 3; BVDV: bovine viral diarrhea virus; CALCOCO2/NDP52: calcium binding and coiled-coil domain 2; CMA: chaperone-mediated autophagy; CTSB: cathepsin B; CTSD: cathepsin D; DAP: Death-Associated Protein; ER: endoplasmic reticulum; GFP: green fluorescent protein; Gln: Glutamine; HSPA8/HSC70: heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 8; IF: immunofluorescence; IVP: in vitro produced; LAMP2A: lysosomal associated membrane protein 2A; LMS: lysosomal membrane stability; MAP1LC3/LC3: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; MDBK: Madin-Darby bovine kidney; MSC: mesenchymal stem cells; MTOR: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase; MTORC1: MTOR complex 1; NBR1: NBR1 autophagy cargo receptor; NDV: Newcastle disease virus; NECTIN4: nectin cell adhesion molecule 4; NOD1: nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 1; OCD: osteochondritis dissecans; OEC: oviduct epithelial cells; OPTN: optineurin; PI3K: phosphoinositide-3-kinase; PPRV: peste des petits ruminants virus; RHDV: rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus; SQSTM1/p62: sequestosome 1; TEM: transmission electron microscopy.

Analysis of the transcriptome of bovine endometrial cells isolated by laser micro-dissection (2): impacts of post-partum negative energy balance on stromal, glandular and luminal epithelial cells. BMC Genomics 2021; 22:450.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In post-partum dairy cows, the energy needs to satisfy high milk production induces a status of more or less pronounced Negative Energy Balance (NEB). NEB associated with fat mobilization impairs reproductive function. In a companion paper, we described constitutive gene expression in the three main endometrial cell types (stromal, glandular and luminal epithelial cells) isolated by laser capture micro-dissection (LCM) showing the specificities of their transcriptomic profiles. This study investigates the specific impact of NEB on gene expression in these cells around 80 days after parturition at day 15 of the oestrus cycle and describes their specific response to NEB. RESULTS Following the description of their constitutive expression, the transcriptome profiles obtained by RNA sequencing of the three cells types revealed that differences related to the severity of NEB altered mainly specific patterns of expression related to individual cell types. Number of differentially expressed genes between severe NEB (SNEB) and mild NEB (MNEB) cows was higher in ST than in LE and GE, respectively. SNEB was associated with differential expression of genes coding for proteins involved in metabolic processes and embryo-maternal interactions in ST. Under-expression of genes encoding proteins with functions related to cell structure was found in GE whereas genes encoding proteins participating in pro-inflammatory pathways were over-expressed. Genes associated to adaptive immunity were under-expressed in LE. CONCLUSION The severity of NEB after calving is associated with changes in gene expression around 80 days after parturition corresponding to the time of breeding. Specific alterations in GEs are associated with activation of pro-inflammatory mechanisms. Concomitantly, changes in the expression of genes encoding proteins involved in cell interactions and maternal recognition of pregnancy takes place in ST. The combination of these effects possibly altering the uterine environment and embryo maternal interactions may negatively influence the establishment of pregnancy.

Am J Reprod Immunol 2020; 85:e13365.

Abstract
PROBLEM The oviduct is essential for reproduction. We previously showed that oviduct epithelial cells (OECs) isolated from aged cows expressed higher levels of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL) 1A and IL1B. In addition, aging is associated with tissue dysfunction and cellular senescence via a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and immune cell accumulation. We investigated whether IL1A or IL1B causes SASP production, cellular senescence, and inflammatory responses in bovine OECs. METHOD OF STUDY The OECs were isolated from bovine oviducts from young (mean 50.3 months) and aged cows (mean 157.0 months) and cultured. RESULTS Treatment with IL1A or IL1B induced SASP production (IL8, IL6, TNFA, and CCL2) and mRNA expression of cell adhesion molecules in bovine OECs, but both IL1s did not induce cellular senescence in OECs and migration of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). Cultured medium of OECs treated with IL1s, especially IL1B, dramatically induced PMN migration. Treatment with the CCL2 inhibitor, but not IL8 or its receptor CXCR2 inhibitors, significantly reduced immune cell migration in IL1B-treated OEC-cultured medium. Treatment with IL1B increased PMN adhesion to OECs, resulting in further SASP production in OECs due to a PMN-OEC interaction. CONCLUSION We suggest that senescence-associated IL1s cause SASP production in bovine OECs and CCL2 induced by IL1B is essential for the migration of immune cells to OECs. Specifically, IL1B regulates PMN migration and adhesion to bovine OECs, and PMNs accelerate inflammatory cytokine production from bovine OECs via a direct interaction. These phenomena may contribute to chronic oviductal inflammation, resulting in subfertility.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to observe the efficacy of nonsurgical treatment with Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). This study includes clinical results of a STROBE-compliant retrospective study.Forty patients diagnosed with CSDH were recruited from outpatient. Different CHM prescriptions were dispensed for each patient based on syndrome differentiation until the patient had a stable neurologic condition for 2 weeks and/or CSDH completely resolved according to the computed tomography scan. Markwalder grading scale for neurologic symptoms and head computed tomography scan for hematoma volumes were performed before and after CHM treatment to evaluate efficacy.Patients received uninterrupted CHM treatment for 2.81 ± 1.45 months (0.75-6 months). The hematoma volume significantly reduced from 73.49 ± 35.43 mL to 14.72 ± 15.94 mL (P < .001). The Markwalder grading scale scores of patients at the end of CHM treatment decreased significantly, from 1.3 ± 0.69 to 0.15 ± 0.36 (P < .001). Ninety percent of the patients showed >50% decrease in the hematoma volume and complete improvement in neurologic symptoms. The linear regression analysis suggested that change in hematoma was significantly related to the duration of CHM treatment (R = 0.334; P < .001; Ŷ = 25.03 + 11.91X). Leonurus heterophyllus Sweet (Yi-Mu-Cao, 90.5%), Semen persicae (Tao-Ren, 88.8%), and Acorus tatarinowii Schott (Shi-Chang-Pu, 86.2%) were the top 3 single Chinese herbs prescribed in CHM treatment.The CHM treatment for CSDH based on syndrome differentiation with appropriate duration relieved neurologic symptoms quickly and promoted hematoma absorption effectively. It could be an effective nonsurgical therapy for CSDH.

Abuelo A. Symposium review: Late-gestation maternal factors affecting the health and development of dairy calves. J Dairy Sci 2020; 103:3882-3893. [PMID: 32037167 DOI: 10.3168/jds.2019-17278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2019] [Accepted: 12/03/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Efficient production of heifers is fundamental to the productivity and sustainability of dairy farms. However, high preweaning morbidity and mortality rates are frequently reported worldwide, imposing substantial welfare and economic implications. A major contributing factor to disease susceptibility in the neonatal stage is the inability of calves to mount an effective immune response. Appreciation is now greater that exposure in utero to several stresses (nutritional, social, metabolic, and so on) during the last stages of pregnancy have downstream carryover effects in calves' health, growth, and development. Suboptimal intrauterine conditions during critical periods of development lead to changes in tissue structure and function that may have long-term consequences on the offspring's physiology and disease susceptibility. Indeed, preweaning metabolic function and growth are associated with future milk production. Thus, late-gestation carryover effects span into the lactating stage of the heifers. Nevertheless, researchers have been studying how to minimize these effects. This review will discuss the effects of maternal stress during late gestation on the offspring's growth, productivity, metabolism, and health. In addition, strategies focusing on maternal interventions that improve neonatal health will be discussed. A better understanding of the intrauterine conditions affecting calf health and growth may facilitate the design of management practices that could improve neonatal development and future cow productivity.

Oleic acid and hydroxytyrosol present in olive oil promote ROS and inflammatory response in normal cultures of murine dermal fibroblasts through the NF-κB and NRF2 pathways. Food Res Int 2020; 131:108984. [PMID: 32247459 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2020.108984] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2019] [Revised: 12/28/2019] [Accepted: 01/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Few studies have evaluated the effects of olive oil on normal tissues like skin and its components. Hence, we investigated whether olive oil could increase the production of ROS and oxidative damage in murine dermal fibroblast cultures in a short-term exposition. In addition, we evaluated the role of oleic acid and hydroxytyrosol, which are the two most important components of olive oil, in the associated mechanisms of action, and the metabolism of long-chain fatty acids from olive oil. To study this, neonatal murine dermal fibroblasts (NMDF) were incubated with olive oil, oleic acid, or hydroxytyrosol for 24 or 72 h. The NMDF incubated with olive oil or oleic acid showed an increase in the production of ROS after 24 h, lipid peroxidation, and protein carbonylation after 72 h, as well as increased expression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65 and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) after 72 h. However, NMDF treated with olive oil or hydroxytyrosol demonstrated an increase in the expression of nuclear factor-erythroid2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) after 72 h. In addition, NMDF treated with olive oil also showed an increase in the protein expression of diacylglycerol acyltransferase1 (DGAT1), which promotes triacylglycerol synthesis, and in the levels of triacylglycerols. The microscopic analysis showed Nile red-positive lipid droplets inside olive oil-treated NMDF after 72 h. Moreover, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry demonstrated high levels of oleic acid in the olive oil-treated NMDF after 72 h. In conclusion, oleic acid present in the olive oil promotes the production of ROS and oxidative damage in murine dermal fibroblasts, which leads to NF-κB p65 and COX-2 expression, while hydroxytyrosol promotes NRF2 and HO-1 expression. In addition, NMDF area capable of absorbing long-chain fatty acids derived from olive oil, which promotes the synthesis and the accumulation of triacylglycerols into cytoplasm of NMDF through DGAT1 activation.

Elevated non-esterified fatty acids impair survival and promote lipid accumulation and pro-inflammatory cytokine production in bovine endometrial epithelial cells. Reprod Fertil Dev 2019; 30:1770-1784.

Abstract
Elevated non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) are associated with negative effects on bovine theca, granulosa and oviductal cells but the effects of NEFAs on bovine endometrial epithelial cells (bEECs) are not as well documented. The objective of this study was to define the effects of NEFAs on bEECs. Postprimary bEECs were treated with 150, 300 or 500µM of either palmitic acid (PA), stearic acid (SA) or oleic acid (OA) or a mixture of NEFAs (150µM of each FA) or 0.5% final concentration of vehicle ethanol (control). Viability and proliferation of bEECs exposed to 150µM of each NEFA or a mixture of NEFAs were unaffected. Increased lipid accumulation was found in all treated groups (P<0.01). In cells exposed to 500µM of each NEFA and 300µM PA decreased cell viability (P<0.001), proliferation (P<0.05) and increased apoptosis (P<0.05) were observed. Treatment with 500µM OA, PA and SA had the strongest effects on cell viability, proliferation and apoptosis (P<0.05). Treatment with PA and OA increased interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations (P<0.05), whereas only the highest concentration of PA, OA and SA stimulated IL-8 production (P<0.05). These results suggest that high concentrations of NEFAs may impair endometrial function with more or less pronounced effects depending on the type of NEFA and time of exposure.

Abstract
Objective Tetrahydroxy stilbene glucoside (TSG) has been reported to exert a cytoprotective effect against various toxicants. However, the function and mechanism of TSG in palmitic acid (PA)-induced inflammation and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes are still unknown. The present study was designed to investigate the post-transcriptional mechanism in TSG-treated cardiomyocytes’ inflammation and apoptosis induced by PA. Methods The mRNA and protein levels were assayed by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blotting, respectively. The targeted genes were predicted by a bioinformatics algorithm and confirmed by a dual luciferase reporter assay. Cell proliferation was analyzed by CCK-8 assay. Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/polyimide (annexin V-FITC/PI) staining was used to evaluate apoptosis using flow cytometry. Results TSG restricted the detrimental effects, including the activated inflammatory response and apoptosis, of PA in cardiomyocytes, as well as the up-regulation of miR-129-3p and down-regulation of p-Smad3 expression. In addition, bioinformatics and experimental analysis suggested that Smad3 was a direct target of miR-129-3p, which could inhibit or enhance the expression of p-Smad by transfection with miR-129-3p mimics or inhibitors, respectively. Furthermore, our results demonstrated that overexpression of Smad3 reversed the inhibition of inflammation and apoptosis by overexpression of miR-129-3p in PA-stimulated cardiomyocytes. Conclusion TSG targeted to miR-129-3p/Smad3 signaling inhibited PA-induced inflammation and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Abstract
The process of reproduction requires several factors, leading to successful fertilization of an oocyte by a single spermatozoon. One of them is the complete maturity of an oocyte, which is acquired during long stages of folliculogenesis and oogenesis. Additionally, the oviduct, composed of oviductal epithelial cells (OECs), has a prominent influence on this event through sperm modification and supporting oocyte’s movement towards uterus. OECs were isolated from porcine oviducts. Cells were kept in primary in vitro culture for 30 days. After 24h and on days 7, 15 and 30 cells were harvested, and RNA was isolated. Transcript changes were analyzed using microarrays. Fatty acids biosynthetic process and fatty acids transport ontology groups were selected for analysis and described. Results of this study indicated that majority of genes in both ontology groups were up-regulated on day 7, 15 and 30 of primary in vitro culture. We analyzed genes involved in fatty acids biosynthetic process, including: GGT1, PTGES, INSIG1, SCD, ACSL3, FADS2, FADS1, ACSS2, ALOX5AP, ACADL, SYK, ACACA, HSD17B8, FADS3, OXSM, and transport, including: ABCC2, ACSL4, FABP3, PLA2G3, PPARA, SYK, PPARD, ACACA and P2RX7. Elevated levels of fatty acids in bovine and human oviducts are known to reduce proliferation capacity of OECs and promote inflammatory responses in their microenvironment. Most of measured genes could not be connected to reproductive events. However, the alterations in cellular proliferation, differentiation and genes expression during in vitro long-term culture were significant. Thus, we can treat them as putative markers of changes in OECs physiology.

Abstract
Background: Fatty Acid (FA) composition of serum has been associated with many markers of inflammation. In this study, we tried to examine plasma Saturated Fatty Acid (SFA) and Monounsaturated Fatty Acid (MUFA) composition in Behçet's Disease (BD) patients. The associations between the circulating FA levels and some markers of inflammation have also been investigated. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional one. In fact, a total of 101 BD patients and healthy controls group of 99 subjects are enrolled. Gas Chromatograph equipped with a Capillary Split/Splitless Injector and flame ionization detector was used to analyze the plasma SFA and MUFA compositions. The high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) and fibrinogen levels were measured using standard techniques. Results: BD patients had significantly higher proportions of Mystiric Acid (MA), Palmitic Acid (PAM), Palmitoleic Acid (POA) and Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase (SCD)-16, compared to controls. The results revealed that patients with severe involvements had high levels of POA and total MUFA associated with higher SCD-16 activity compared to those with minor ones. The receiver operator characteristic curve analysis revealed that POA could well discriminate BD patients with severe clinical manifestations. In the bivariate analysis, hsCRP was found to be positively correlated with total SAFA and POA elongase activity index but negatively correlated with SCD-18 activity index. The STA, POA, elongase and SCD-16 activity index are correlated with fibrinogen. On the other hand, the multivariate analysis showed that POA remained associated with higher levels of hsCRP. Conclusion: Unfavourable plasma SFA and MUFA profile were reported in BD patients. POA, which is associated with higher plasma hsCRP level, may play a role in the pathogenesis of BD.

Abstract
Metabolic stress in periparturient dairy cows is characterized by excessive lipid mobilization, inflammation, and oxidative stress that is associated with immune dysfunction. Thus, metabolic stress around the time calving is linked to the development of various early-lactation health disorders. Maternal status during late pregnancy can have carryover effects on several health and production variables of neonatal calves. However, the effects of metabolic stress during gestation on metabolic and immune responses of newborn calves remain unknown. Thus, we aimed to investigate whether metabolic stress in late-gestation dairy cows is associated with changes in the metabolic and immune responses of their offspring during the first month of life. Holstein-Friesian cows (n = 12) were blood sampled at 28 and 15 d before expected calving. The average between these 2 sampling points in the serum concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA), haptoglobin (Hp), and oxidant status index (OSi)-defined as the ratio between reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and total antioxidant potential-were calculated as indicators of the degree of lipid mobilization, inflammation, and oxidant status (OS), respectively. Calves were subsequently divided into groups (n = 6 each) according to their dams' high or low degree of lipid mobilization, inflammation, and OS. The metabolic responses of calves in each of these groups were compared weekly throughout their first month of life by assessing serum concentration of NEFA, Hp, and OSi. Additionally, whole blood was obtained from calves at each sampling period and subjected to a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) production assay to assess cell-mediated innate immunity against induced inflammatory responses, using high (5 μg/mL of blood) and low (10 ng/mL) concentrations of LPS. Calves born to cows with higher NEFA or OSi showed lower body weight at birth and throughout the study, whereas no association between any of the maternal groups and average daily gain at 4 wk of age was identified. Serum concentrations of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species were higher in calves exposed to higher maternal NEFA concentrations or OSi when compared with calves born to cows with lower values of these biomarkers. Calves exposed to high maternal OS also had higher circulating concentrations of Hp and TNF-α, indicating greater basal inflammatory responses when compared with calves born to cows with a lower OSi. In contrast, LPS-induced inflammatory responses were less robust in calves exposed to higher maternal biomarkers of inflammation or OS, suggesting compromised immune responses to microbial agonists. Collectively, these data suggest that prenatal exposure to maternal parameters of metabolic stress may adversely affect some metabolic and inflammatory responses of the offspring that could influence disease susceptibility.

Abstract
In chronic nonhealing wounds, the healing process is disrupted and wounds are often infected with bacteria. About 85% of lower extremity amputations in diabetes are attributed to deep infection of foot ulcers. Therefore, infection control is critical for wound care. In this study, we analyzed lipid composition of Chamaecyparis obtusa extract, and we describe the wound-healing properties of its combination of 10 major lipid components. A 10-lipid mixture up-regulated HBD-3 and LL-37 through the olfactory receptor 2AT4 and induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases in primary human keratinocytes. In addition, the 10-lipid mixture had direct bactericidal effects against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes and protected against staphylococcal α-toxin-induced keratinocyte cell death. In an animal model, the 10-lipid mixture accelerated skin wound healing and was also effective in healing wounds superinfected with S. aureus. We suggest that the 10-lipid mixture, because of its wound-healing and antimicrobial properties, can be beneficial for wound treatment.
