Article Abstract
Modulation of prostaglandin synthesis, specifically, decreasing prostaglandin F (PGF) and increasing prostaglandin E (PGE) and interferon-tau (IFNT), can support maternal recognition of pregnancy (MRP) in cattle. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is known to influence prostaglandins (PG) synthesis in cell cultures; however, its effect on in vitro-cultured bovine oocytes and embryos remain unclear. We hypothesized that CLA supplementation in oocytes and embryo culture media would reduce PGF synthesis, increases PGE synthesis and PGE:PGF ratio in embryos, modulate the expression of genes involved in PG and IFNT synthesis, and enhance embryo development. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different CLA (a mixture of cis- and trans-9,11- and -10,12-octadecadienoic acids) concentrations (50-150 μM) added during in vitro maturation (IVM) and/or in vitro culture (IVC) on in vitro embryo production, PGE and PGF synthesis, and the expression of genes related to PG synthesis (AKR1B1, PTGS2, PTGES) and MPR (IFNT) in embryos. Oocytes and embryos were treated with CLA (50, 100, and 150 μM) during IVM or during both IVM and IVC. PGE and PGF concentrations were quantified by ELISA, and transcript abundance in embryos at the end of IVC was assessed by qPCR. CLA supplementation at all tested concentrations during IVM and/or IVC reduced both PGE and PGF synthesis in embryos, without affecting the PGE:PGF ratio, or the relative expression of the evaluated genes. These findings suggest that CLA modulates PG synthesis in bovine embryos and underscore the importance of PG regulation for the successful establishment of MRP.

The most effective lipid mediators in inflammation are eicosanoids, which involve numerous enzymes such as cyclooxygenases (COX), lipoxygenases (LOX), and cytochrome P450 (CYP). Arctoscopus japonicus lipids (AJL) have been shown to inhibit inflammation, but their effects on cellular mechanisms via lipid mediators remain unclear. In this study, we examined the eicosanoid synthesis pathways for the anti-inflammatory effects of AJL in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.

Distention of the urinary bladder wall during filling stretches the urothelium and induces the release of chemical mediators, including adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and prostaglandins (PGs), that transmit signals between cells within the bladder wall. The urothelium also releases soluble nucleotidases (s-NTDs) that control the availability of ATP and its metabolites at receptor sites in umbrella cells and cells deeper in the bladder wall, as well as in the urine. This study investigated whether PGs regulate the intravesical breakdown of ATP by s-NTDs.

Our study aims to elucidate the impact of exosomes obtained from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-Exos) on the proliferation, migration, and oxidative stress response of human retinal vascular endothelial cells (HRECs) and the mechanism. MSC-Exos were isolated from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells using a low-temperature ultrahigh-speed centrifugation method. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assays, scratch tests, and cellular immunofluorescence assays were utilized to assess the influence of MSC-Exos on proliferation, migration, and oxidative stress in HRECs.

Regulation of immune cells during luteolysis has been previously described, however inter- and intra-cellular pathways that mediate PGF induction of immune cells in the bovine corpus luteum (CL) have not been clearly defined. Real-time PCR was used to measure chemokine mRNA and Western blotting used to measure phosphorylation of signaling proteins after PGF treatment of early and mid-cycle CL and in similar-stage luteinized granulosa cells (LuGC). In Day 11 CL (with luteolytic capacity), PGF induced expression of CXCL8, CXCL2, CCL2, and CCL8 at 1 h after treatment and continued to stimulate the four chemokines at 10 h after treatment.
