Article Abstract
The extent of oxidative damage transferred by the damaged sperm to the progeny is likely to be limited by the oocyte's repair and antioxidative capacity. We aimed to assess the association between Brilliant Cresyl Blue (BCB) staining in oocytes and their competence for embryo development after in vitro fertilisation (IVF) with damaged sperm. For this purpose, bovine sperm were incubated without (non-oxidised sperm, NOX S) or with 100 µM HO (oxidised sperm, OX S) and were used to fertilise in-vitro-matured bovine oocytes (BCB-pos./BCB-neg.). Unstained oocytes served as controls (US). Development was assessed at 30, 46, 60 h and on Days (D) 7 and 8 after IVF. Total cell number and apoptotic index were analysed in D7 blastocysts. BCB-neg. oocytes showed lower cleavage rates and blastocyst rates than unstained oocytes after IVF with NOX S ( < 0.05). They showed the highest reduction in D7 blastocyst rate upon fertilisation with OX S and showed a delayed embryo development at 46 and 60 h after IVF compared to embryos produced with NOX S ( < 0.05). Total cell number in blastocysts produced with BCB-neg. oocytes was lower ( < 0.05) in the embryos produced with OX S than in embryos after IVF with NOX S. In conclusion, BCB-neg. oocytes have a lower competence to support embryo development after in vitro fertilisation with oxidised sperm.

Vascular sites have distinct susceptibility to atherosclerosis and aneurysm, yet the epigenomic and transcriptomic underpinning of vascular site-specific disease risk is largely unknown. Here, we performed single-cell chromatin accessibility (scATACseq) and gene expression profiling (scRNAseq) of mouse vascular tissue from three vascular sites. Through interrogation of epigenomic enhancers and gene regulatory networks, we discovered key regulatory enhancers to not only be cell type, but vascular site-specific.

Background: Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) causes fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and is associated with various cognitive and sensory impairments, including olfactory dysfunction. While both genetic and environmental factors contribute to olfactory dysfunction, PAE is considered a significant factor affecting brain development, including the olfactory system. In this study, we investigated the impact of PAE on the developing olfactory bulb (OB), specifically focusing on OB RGCs-radial glial cells that give rise to OB projection neurons.

The white matter of the spinal cord is essential for sensory and motor signaling, and its proper development is crucial for establishing functional neuronal circuits. However, the mechanisms underlying white matter formation remain incompletely understood. We hypothesized that the extracellular matrix, particularly laminins, plays a key role in this process.

Mutations in the UBE3A gene are responsible for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including Angelman syndrome (AS), which is characterized by developmental delays, impaired motor coordination, and cognitive disabilities. In recent years, UBE3A mutations have also been linked to autism spectrum disorders (ASD), due to their significant role in synaptic plasticity and cognitive function. Although substantial research has utilized mammalian models, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) provides unique opportunities to investigate gene functions owing to their transparent embryos, rapid development, and suitability for large-scale genetic and behavioral studies.

The closely related cytokines Interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-13 regulate the Th2 immune response by interacting with their specific receptor complexes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) modulate various biological pathways through mechanisms that either repress mRNA translation or promote messenger RNA degradation. The miRNA miR-126b is implicated in fish embryonic development.
