Abstract
The development of the goat mammary gland is mainly under the control of ovarian hormones particularly estrogen and progesterone (P4). Amino acids play an essential role in mammary gland development and milk production, and sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 2 (SNAT2) was reported to be expressed in the mammary gland of rats and bovine mammary epithelial cells, which may affect the synthesis of milk proteins or mammary cell proliferation by mediating prolactin, 17β-estradiol (E2) or methionine function. However, whether SNAT2 mediates the regulatory effects of E2 and P4 on the development of the ruminant mammary gland is still unclear. In this study, we show that E2 and P4 could increase the proliferation of goat mammary epithelial cells (GMECs) and regulate SNAT2 mRNA and protein expression in a dose-dependent manner. Further investigation revealed that SNAT2 is abundantly expressed in the mammary gland during late pregnancy and early lactation, while knockdown and overexpression of SNAT2 in GMECs could inhibit or enhance E2- and P4-induced cell proliferation as well as mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling. We also found that the accelerated proliferation induced by SNAT2 overexpression in GMECs was suppressed by the mTOR signaling pathway inhibitor rapamycin. This indicates that the regulation of GMECs proliferation mediated by SNAT2 in response to E2 and P4 is dependent on the mTOR signaling pathway. Finally, we found that the total content of the amino acids in GMECs changed after knocking-down and overexpressing SNAT2. In summary, the results demonstrate that the regulatory effects of E2 and P4 on GMECs proliferation may be mediated by the SNAT2-transported amino acid pathway. These results may offer a novel nutritional target for improving the development of the ruminant mammary gland and milk production.

Curr Diabetes Rev 2020; 16:770-778. [PMID: 31544697 DOI: 10.2174/1573399815666190718144722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2019] [Revised: 06/08/2019] [Accepted: 06/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease whose etiology involves genetic predisposition as well as environmental factors. Polymorphisms of some genes are among the most important genetic factors that influence autoimmunity. Gender is another important factor affecting autoimmunity. Females are more susceptible to autoimmune diseases which may be due to the effect of sex hormones on the immune system activity. The metabolic effects of estrogen are mediated through its receptor - alpha. The exact mechanism is not well understood. A number of polymorphisms have been reported in the Estrogen Receptor- alpha (ER-alpha) IVS1 397 T>C gene which may be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes. OBJECTIVES To assess the influence of Estrogen Receptor- alpha gene [IVS1-397 T>C] polymorphism on vascular complications of type1 diabetes mellitus in pubertal females and on the glycemic control. METHODS This cross-sectional case-control study included 40 pubertal regularly menstruating girls less than 18 years with type 1 diabetes mellitus recruited from the Pediatric Diabetes Clinic, Children's Hospital, Ain-Shams University and 20 healthy age-and sex-matched controls. Estrogen receptor alpha genotypes were analyzed by Restriction Fragment Length PCR and correlated with both clinical and laboratory parameters in the studied cases. ER-alpha was chosen as it might play a role in diabetes pathogenesis. RESULTS The study revealed the TC genotype was the most prevalent genotype of the estrogen receptor. The TT genotype patients had a younger age of onset of T1DM. The prevalence of obesity was higher among TC and TT than in CC bearing patients. In addition, CC genotype patients had the least prevalence of microalbuminuria and had better glycemic control than other genotypes. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that Estrogen receptor- alpha gene may be affecting the age of onset of Type1 diabetes mellitus in pubertal girls as well as the glycemic control of these patients, where CC bearing girls had better glycemic control than other genotypes and less incidence of microalbuminuria.

Abstract
To clarify the reproductive cycle of female Rusa deer (Rusa timorensis),
the fecal concentrations of progesterone and 17β-estradiol metabolites were measured.
Fecal samples were collected on a weekly basis for one year (between October, 2012 and
September, 2013) from five healthy adult hinds in Thailand. At the beginning of the study,
three hinds were pregnant. Two hinds delivered one healthy offspring, and one hind
delivered a stillborn calf. The mating period of Rusa hinds in Thailand is from November
to April. In pregnant hinds, fecal progesterone metabolite concentration was high in late
pregnancy and abruptly declined to the baseline around parturition, suggesting that the
placenta secretes a large amount of progesterone. Fecal 17β-estradiol metabolite
concentration remained elevated around the day of parturition. Both concentrations of
fecal progesterone and 17β-estradiol metabolites in non-lactating hinds were significantly
higher than those in lactating hinds, indicating that ovarian activity of lactating hinds
is suppressed by the suckling stimulus of fawn during lactation. The present study
demonstrated that monitoring of fecal steroid hormones is useful method for assessing
ovarian function in this species.

Abstract
Although a large number of studies show that photo-period disruption potentially affects hormone secretion in mammals, information about the effects of
circadian photo-period disruption during pregnancy on fetal blood reproductive hormone levels is scarce. This study used ewes and their fetuses to determine the
effects of circadian photo-period disruption (deprivation of darkness) on follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, and progesterone in
maternal and fetal circulation at late gestation. Pregnant ewes (gestational age: 135 ± 3 days) were randomly placed into control and dark deprivation groups.
The control (N = 5) and dark deprivation (N = 5) groups were exposed to a fixed 12 h light/12 h dark cycle and a 24 h constant light cycle, respectively, for 2
days. Dark deprivation up-regulated follicle-stimulating hormone and estradiol levels and down-regulated progesterone levels in both maternal and fetal
circulation, and up-regulated luteinizing hormone levels in fetal but not maternal circulation. These results provide new information about how circadian
photo-period disruption during pregnancy could alter the release of certain reproductive hormones into fetal blood, which may influence the development of fetal
organs in utero, as well as long-term health.

Abstract
The effect of intravaginal fluorogestone acetate (FGA) sponges on prolactin levels (PRL) and correlations between PRL and milk somatic cell count (SCC) and steroid hormones levels of Damascus-local cross goats during transitional period to anestrous were investigated in this study. Fifty-six goats were assigned to three groups. Group 1 (FGA, n = 19) was treated with 40 mg FGA and equine chorionic gonadotropin (600 IU, i.m.) at time of sponge withdrawal (day 0). Group 2 (FGA-PGF; n = 19) was treated similar to group 1 but was also injected with dinoprost tromethamine (naturally occurring PGF2α) (10 mg, i.m.) on day 0. Control goats (n = 18) were left untreated. On day 0, five fertile bucks were turned in with all goats. Milk and blood samples were collected on days -13 (day of sponge insertion), -6, 0, 1, 2, 7, 13, and 20. Prolactin levels were at lowest values on day -13 of the study and increased (p < 0.05) from day -6 to day 20 in all groups. A significant positive correlation (p < 0.05) between PRL and progesterone and between PRL and estradiol levels was found in this study. No significant correlation was found between PRL and SCC of all groups during the study except on days 2 and 20 where PRL levels were correlated (p < 0.05) with SCC of left udder halves of FGA group. In conclusion, estrus induction with FGA resulted in significant increase in PRL. A positive correlation was found between PRL and steroid hormones, but there was no correlation between PRL and goat milk SCC.

Abstract
When it was initially discovered in 1923, inhibin was characterized as a hypophysiotropic hormone that acts on pituitary cells to regulate pituitary hormone secretion. Ninety years later, what we know about inhibin stretches far beyond its well-established capacity to inhibit activin signaling and suppress pituitary FSH production. Inhibin is one of the major reproductive hormones involved in the regulation of folliculogenesis and steroidogenesis. Although the physiological role of inhibin as an activin antagonist in other organ systems is not as well defined as it is in the pituitary-gonadal axis, inhibin also modulates biological processes in other organs through paracrine, autocrine, and/or endocrine mechanisms. Inhibin and components of its signaling pathway are expressed in many organs. Diagnostically, inhibin is used for prenatal screening of Down syndrome as part of the quadruple test and as a biochemical marker in the assessment of ovarian reserve. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of our current understanding of the biological role of inhibin, its relationship with activin, its signaling mechanisms, and its potential value as a diagnostic marker for reproductive function and pregnancy-associated conditions.

Abstract
Ovarian and placental steroids are essential for the maintenance of pregnancy. In some mammals it is evident that the placenta is responsible for the production of steroids. However, in the domestic cat, steroid secretion from the placenta has not yet been elucidated. Our study aimed to find out whether feline placentae are able to produce steroids. Placentae from different pregnancy stages were analyzed for mRNA expression of five steroidogenic enzymes (HSD3B1, CYP11A1, CYP17A1, HSD17B1 and CYP19A1) and for tissue concentrations of progesterone and estradiol. Steroidogenic enzymes responsible for the final steps of estradiol (CYP19A1) and progesterone synthesis (HSD3B) were expressed at very high levels and followed almost the same pattern over pregnancy as the intraplacental hormones themselves. By contrast, the other enzymes were found in very low quantities suggesting that biosynthesis occurs via extra-placental steroid precursors. The plasma steroid profiles measured by other groups differ from the placental hormone courses determined by us; therefore we conclude that the feline placenta can produce progesterone and estradiol.

Abstract
The establishment of equine pregnancy is a unique and long process during which a series of physical and possibly biochemical interactions are required between the conceptus and uterus. In this study, we investigated the expression pattern of inhibin/activin subunits in the uterus during early pregnancy. The uteri from four adult mares on cyclic day 13 or pregnancy day 25 were obtained. Immunohistochemical experiments suggested that inhibin/activin subunits were immunolocalized in the luminal and glandular epithelium on pregnancy day 25. In addition, the inhibin α and inhibin/activin βB subunits were not detected, and inhibin/activin βA subunit was detected, in the luminal and glandular epithelium on cyclic day 13. Real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting results for the inhibin/activin subunits suggested a significant increase in the expression of inhibin/activin subunit βB and a significant decrease in the expression of inhibin/activin subunit βA on pregnancy day 25 compared with those on cyclic day 13. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays suggested a significant decrease in the concentration of activin A in endometrium extracts from cyclic day 13 to pregnancy day 25. These results suggest that inhibins or activins synthesized in the uterus, as endocrine factors and necessary nutriments, have different expression patterns and may play different, important roles during early embryonic development of the equine.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to define the secretion of prolactin (PRL) in pregnant African and Asian elephants. Levels of immunoreactive (ir-) PRL in serum and placental homogenates were measured by a heterologous radioimmunoassay (RIA) based on an ovine and human RIA system, and the localization of ir-PRL in the placenta was detected by immunohistochemistry using anti-human PRL. Circulating ir-PRL clearly showed a biphasic pattern during pregnancy in African and Asian elephants. Serum levels of ir-PRL started to increase from the 4 - 6th month of gestation and reached the first peak level around the 11-14th month. A second peak of circulating ir-PRL levels was observed around the 18-20th month of gestation followed by an abrupt decline after parturition. In contrast, in a case of abortion of an African elephant, the second peak of ir-PRL was not observed, and the levels remained low for about four months until parturition. The weight of the fetus delivered at the 17th month of gestation was 23.5 kg, which was quite small compared with normal fetuses in previous reports. Ir-PRL was detected in placental homogenates, and immunolocalization was observed in trophoblasts in both the African and Asian elephants, indicating that the placenta is the source of ir-PRL during pregnancy in elephants. The present results clearly demonstrated that circulating ir-PRL shows a biphasic pattern during normal pregnancy and that the placenta appears to be an important source of circulating ir-PRL during pregnancy in both African and Asian elephants.
