Expression of Cyclins and Cyclin‐Dependent Kinase Inhibitors in Granulosa Cells from Bovine Ovary

The regulation of granulosa cell proliferation is complex, and it is essential for normal follicular development in mammals. The aim of this study was to examine the expression of cyclins and their inhibitors in the granulosa cells of follicles at different developmental stages. Follicles were classified into three groups: oestrogen‐inactive dominant follicles (EIDs), oestrogen‐active dominant follicles (EADs) and pre‐ovulatory follicles (POs). The expression of CCND2 (cyclin D2) mRNA was significantly higher in granulosa cells from EADs and POs than in those from EIDs. The expression of CCND3 (cyclin D3) mRNA was significantly higher in granulosa cells from EADs than in those from other follicles. CCND1 (cyclin D1), CCNE1 (cyclin E1) and CCNE2 (cyclin E2) mRNA expression did not differ among the different follicular stages. The expression of CDKN1A (p21^cip1) and CDKN1B (p27^kip1) mRNA was significantly higher in granulosa cells from EIDs and POs, respectively, than in those from other follicles. Expression of CDKN2D (p19^INK4d) mRNA did not differ among the different follicular stages. Taken together, our study suggested that cyclins and their inhibitors are associated with granulosa cell proliferation at specific follicular developmental stages.     

细胞周期蛋白D1在梅花鹿茸角中的表达

以梅花鹿为研究对象,通过原位杂交方法对细胞周期蛋白D1（cyclin D1）在梅花鹿茸角中的表达进行了研究。结果显示,cyclin D1在梅花鹿茸角表皮层内表达极少,在茸角真皮层、间充质层及软骨层等处均有表达,但在表达强度上存在差异。在真皮层中,cyclin D1在真皮成纤维细胞中有较强的表达,在鹿茸间充质细胞中也有少量cyclin D1的表达,在鹿茸软骨层中,cyclin D1在软骨细胞中的表达量非常高,主要表达在增殖区的软骨细胞中。结果表明,cyclin D1可能在梅花鹿茸角再生过程中起重要的调控作用。     

糖原合成酶激酶3β对奶牛乳腺上皮细胞增殖及细胞周期的影响

本试验通过向纯化的奶牛乳腺上皮细胞中添加不同浓度（0（对照组）、10、20、40 mmol/L）的糖原合成酶激酶3β（glycogen synthase kinase 3β,GSK3β）特异性蛋白抑制剂氯化锂（Licl）,作用细胞24 h,研究其对奶牛乳腺上皮细胞增殖及细胞周期的影响,并利用qRT-PCR和Western blotting分别检测不同浓度Licl对奶牛乳腺上皮细胞中GSK3β、细胞周期蛋白D1（Cyclin D1） mRNA水平及GSK3β、磷酸化GSK3β （p-GSK3β）、Cyclin D1蛋白水平表达的影响。结果显示,Licl能促进奶牛乳腺上皮细胞的增殖活性,Licl抑制GSK3β后促进奶牛乳腺上皮细胞增殖的最佳浓度为20 mmol/L。与对照组相比,添加Licl后GSK3β蛋白表达受到抑制,p-GSK3β蛋白表达上调,同时提高了Cyclin D1蛋白表达。表明GSK3β对于奶牛乳腺上皮细胞增殖的能力是负调控因子,失活的GSK3β通过Cyclin D1途径促进细胞周期的进行。     

Expression,location and biological effects of four and a half LIM domain protein 2 (FHL2) on granulosa cells in ovine

Previous studies have shown that four and a half LIM domain protein 2 (FHL2) plays an essential role in the regulation of follicular development in mammals. Although the FHL2 genes of human and mouse have been well characterized, the expression and location of FHL2 in ovary and the biological functions of FHL2 on granulosa cells (GCs) of ovine are still not clear. In this study, full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) of FHL2 from ovine follicular GCs was amplified by real-time PCR (RT-PCR). The expression and location of FHL2 in ovary and GCs of ovine were studied by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence, and the biological effects of FHL2 on the cell proliferation, cell apoptosis, cell cycles and expression level of related genes of ovine GCs were also explored by overexpression or knockdown of FHL2. The results indicated that FHL2 was expressed in ovine follicular GCs and the sequence of the FHL2 cDNA was consistent with that predicted in GenBank, which did not cause an amino acid change. According to the results, FHL2 was expressed in ovine ovary and mainly located in the cytoplasm and nucleus of GCs. In addition, overexpression of FHL2 significantly reduced the cell viability, promoted the cell apoptosis and decreased the percentage of G0/G1 and S phase cells. RT-PCR showed that overexpression of FHL2 significantly increased the mRNA expression level of Bax and decreased the expression of Bcl-2 and the Bcl-2/Bax mRNA ratio compared with the control group. Besides, the knockdown of FHL2 gene in ovine GCs significantly improved the cell viability, suppressed the cell apoptosis, decreased the mRNA expression level of Caspase-3 gene, increased the Bcl-2/Bax mRNA ratio and increased the percentage of S and G2/M phase cells. Our results suggest that FHL2 may play an important role in the biological functions of GCs in ovine.     

SNAT2介导蛋氨酸对牛乳腺上皮细胞增殖与自噬的调节作用

钠离子依赖性中性氨基酸转运体2（SNAT2）是一种氨基酸转运蛋白，可转运中性氨基酸，广泛分布于多种细胞中。氨基酸既可作为蛋白质合成的底物，也是调节细胞新陈代谢的关键信号分子，但SNAT2是否介导氨基酸调节BMECs增殖和自噬尚未见报道。本研究利用CASY细胞计数和Western blotting技术检测SNAT2过表达和siRNA干扰后牛乳腺上皮细胞（BMECs）增殖情况以及SNAT2对自噬标志蛋白LC3-Ⅰ/Ⅱ表达量的影响，并利用免疫荧光检测细胞自噬斑点（LC3-Ⅱ）变化。结果显示，SNAT2过表达时，p-PI3K、p-mTOR和Cyclin D1表达量增加，反之，p-PI3K、p-mTOR和Cyclin D1表达量下降。SNAT2抑制时，LC3-Ⅱ表达量增加，免疫荧光检测自噬斑点增多。添加自噬增强剂海藻糖（trehalose，Tre）和蛋氨酸（methionine，Met）后，与单一添加Tre组相比，Met+Tre组p-mTOR表达量增加，LC3-Ⅱ表达量降低，胞浆内绿色自噬斑点减少；添加Tre和Met并抑制SNAT2时，p-mTOR表达量下降，LC3-Ⅱ表达量增多，胞浆内绿色自噬斑点增加。以上结果表明，SNAT2可介导Met通过调控PI3K-mTOR/Cyclin D1信号通路调节BMECs的增殖与自噬。     

Vitamin E regulates bovine granulosa cell apoptosis via NRF2-mediated defence mechanism by activating PI3K/AKT and ERK1/2 signalling pathways

High-yield dairy cows are usually subject to high-intensive cell metabolism and produce excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). Once ROS is beyond the threshold of scavenging ability, it can induce oxidative stress, imperilling the reproductive performance of cows. The study was to investigate the effects of vitamin E (VE) on H₂O₂-induced proliferation and apoptosis of bovine granulosa cells and the underlying molecular mechanism. Granulosa cells were pretreated with VE for 24 hr and then treated with H₂O₂ for 6 hr. The results showed that VE treatment decreased the intracellular ROS levels, increased the MDA content, and improved the antioxidant enzyme activity in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, VE treatment promoted the proliferation and inhibited apoptosis in granulosa cells by up-regulation of CCND1 and BCL2 levels and down-regulation of P21, BAX, and CASP3 levels. The cytoprotective effects of VE were attributed to the activation of the NRF2 signalling pathway. Knockdown of the NRF2 impaired the cytoprotective effects of VE on granulosa cells. Besides, the PI3K/AKT and ERK1/2, but not the p38 signalling pathway is involved in the regulation of VE-mediated cell proliferation and apoptosis. The PI3K/AKT inhibitor LY294002 and ERK1/2 inhibitor SCH772984 inhibited the VE-induced granulosa cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis, whereas the p38 inhibitor SB203580 had the opposite effects. These results were confirmed by proliferation and apoptosis-related gene expression at mRNA and protein levels. The results also showed that the PI3K/AKT inhibitor LY294002 and ERK1/2 inhibitor SCH772984 inhibited VE-induced NRF2, GCLC, GCLM, and HO-1 expression, whereas the p38 inhibitor SB203580 not. Overall, the results demonstrated that VE-regulated granulosa cell proliferation and apoptosis via NRF2-mediated defence system by activating the PI3K/AKT and ERK1/2 signalling pathway.     

Inhibition of PI3K‐Akt‐mTOR signal pathway dismissed the stimulation of glucose on goose liver cell growth

In the formation of goose fatty liver induced by a high‐carbohydrate diet, it is characterized by the quick cell growth of liver. The carbohydrate is mostly digested and absorbed in the small intestine by the form of glucose. Recent studies have suggested a crucial role for PI3K‐Akt‐mTOR pathway in regulating cell proliferation, and then we speculate that PI3K‐Akt‐mTOR pathway may mediate glucose‐induced liver cell proliferation. Goose primary hepatocytes were isolated and incubated in either no addition as a control or glucose or PI3K‐Akt‐mTOR pathway inhibitors or cotreatment with glucose and PI3K‐Akt‐mTOR pathway inhibitors. The results firstly showed that 35 mmol/l glucose stimulated the mRNA level and protein content of factors involved in PI3K‐Akt‐mTOR signal pathway in goose primary hepatocytes. Secondly, 35 mmol/l glucose evidently changed the cell cycle PI index and protein expression of cyclin D1. Meanwhile, the upregulation of 35 mmol/l glucose on the DNA synthesis rate, cell cycle PI index, the mRNA expression, protein content and protein expression of factors involved in the cell proliferation was decreased significantly by the inhibitors of PI3K‐Akt‐mTOR pathway, LY294002, rapamycin or NVP‐BEZ235. In summary, glucose could stimulate the cell proliferation, and the PI3K‐Akt‐mTOR pathway inhibitors could dismiss glucose‐induced the upregulation of cell proliferation in goose primary hepatocyte.     

孕酮对奶牛子宫内膜上皮细胞Wnt/β-catenin信号通路关键蛋白表达的影响

Aspartame supplementation in starter accelerates small intestinal epithelial cell cycle and stimulates secretion of glucagon‐like peptide‐2 in pre‐weaned lambs

The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that aspartame supplementation in starter diet accelerates small intestinal cell cycle by stimulating secretion and expression of glucagon‐like peptide ?2 (GLP‐2) in pre‐weaned lambs using animal and cell culture experiments. In vivo, twelve 14‐day‐old lambs were selected and allocated randomly to two groups; one was treated with plain starter diet (Con, n = 6) and the other was treated with starter supplemented with 200 mg of aspartame/kg starter (APM, n = 6). Results showed that the lambs received APM treatment for 35 d had higher (p < .05) GLP‐2 concentration in the plasma and greater jejunum weight/live body weight (BW) and jejunal crypt depth. Furthermore, APM treatment significantly upregulated (p < .05) the mRNA expression of cyclin D1 in duodenum; and cyclin A2, cyclin D1, cyclin‐dependent kinases 6 (CDK6) in jejunum; and cyclin A2, cyclin D1, CDK4 in ileum. Moreover, APM treatment increased (p < .05) the mRNA expression of glucagon (GCG), insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1) in the jejunum and ileum and mRNA expression of GLP‐2 receptor (GLP‐2R) in the jejunum. In vitro, when jejunal cells were treated with GLP‐2 for 2 hr, the 3‐(4,5‐dimethyl‐2‐thiazolyl)‐2,5‐diphenyl‐2‐H‐tetrazolium bromide (MTT) OD, IGF‐1 concentration, and the mRNA expression of IGF‐1, cyclin D1 and CDK6 were increased (p < .05). Furthermore, IGF‐1 receptor (IGF‐1R) inhibitor decreased (p < .05) the mRNA expression of IGF‐1, cyclin A2, cyclin D1 and CDK6 in GLP‐2 treatment jejunal cells. These results suggest that aspartame supplementation in starter accelerates small intestinal cell cycle that may, in part, be related to stimulate secretion and expression of GLP‐2 in pre‐weaning lambs. Furthermore, GLP‐2 can indirectly promote the proliferation of jejunal cells mainly through the IGF‐1 pathway. These findings provide new insights into nutritional interventions that promote the development of small intestines in young ruminants.     

Elevated cyclin D1 expression is governed by plasma IGF‐1 through Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathway in rumen epithelium of goats supplying a high metabolizable energy diet

The objective of this study was to explore the underlying mechanism of insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1)–caused cell proliferation of rumen epithelium in goats fed a high metabolizable energy (ME) diet. In this study, young goats were fed either a low ME [LL, n = 9, ME: 0.57 MJ/kg^0.75/day] or high ME [HL, n = 9, ME: 1.00 MJ/(kg^0.75/day)] diet for 42 day. The time duration of G₁‐phase was shortened as a result of enhanced expression of cyclin D1 mRNA in the HL group (p < 0.05). It was suggested that a high ME diet promoted cell transition from G₀/G₁ to S‐phase via cyclin D1. The level of phosphorylation of ERK was higher in HL than LL group (p < 0.05). In cell culture, the ERK was phosphorylated by IGF‐1 treatment. The proliferative effects of insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1, 25 ng/ml) on [³H] thymidine (TdR) incorporation into DNA and on cyclin D1 protein expression of rumen epithelial cells were inhibited by PPP (the inhibitor of type 1 IGF receptor) (p < 0.05) and ERK inhibitor (p < 0.05) in vitro. Thus, IGF‐1 up‐regulated cyclin D1 expression and accelerated G₁‐phase progression in the cell cycle through Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathway in rumen epithelium of goats.     

1,25(OH)2D3以双向方式影响猪前体脂肪细胞增殖分化的研究

Proliferative potential of endometrial stromal cells, and endometrial and placental expression of cyclin in the bovine

The objective of the present investigation was to study proliferative activity of fibroblast-like endometrial stromal cells in bovine endometrial caruncular (CAR) and intercaruncular (ICAR) areas that have distinct functions during implantation. Endometrial stromal cells were derived from CAR and ICAR of nonpregnant cows, and their proliferative potential was analyzed in an in vitro cell culture system. In addition, expression of four types of cell cycle regulatory molecules was analyzed by RT-PCR in samples of CAR, ICAR, cotyledon (COT) and fetal membrane of both artificially inseminated (AI) and somatic nuclear transferred (NT) cows on days 30 and 60 of gestation. The proliferation growth curve showed that the cells derived from CAR had higher proliferative activity than that of ICAR-derived cells. No morphological differences were found between the cells derived from CAR and ICAR at population-doubling levels (PDL) of the two. Most of the cells derived from ICAR of nonpregnant cows exhibited expanded shape with no further proliferation at PDL 6 with a lack of cyclin E expression. Of the regulatory molecules, cyclin D1, CDK2 and CDK4 were expressed in both CAR and ICAR cells derived from both nonpregnant, and AI cows on days 30 and 60 of gestation. The expression of cyclin E in both AI and NT cows was confined to COT and fetal membrane on day 30 of gestation. Cyclin E expression on day 60 of gestation in AI cows was observed in all but ICAR areas. In marked contrast, however, cyclin E expression on day 60 of gestation in NT cows was confined to COT, suggesting that poor placentation in these cows is possibly associated with a lack of cyclin E expression. These results suggest that CAR-derived stromal cells have higher proliferative potential, which may be related to cyclin E expression during implantation.

CTSD对黔北麻羊卵泡颗粒细胞的调控机制及功能分析

旨在分析组织蛋白酶D（cathepsin D, CTSD）对黔北麻羊卵泡颗粒细胞的调控机制并初步探究其对产羔性状的影响机理。本研究以36周龄、健康、多胎黔北麻羊母羊（n=5）为研究对象,屠宰后采集卵巢组织分离培养卵泡颗粒细胞,构建真核表达载体pEGFP-N3-CTSD,将其导入细胞后在转录与翻译水平验证真核表达效率;通过CCK-8法检测在不同时间段内重组质粒对颗粒细胞增殖的影响;通过流式细胞仪检测重组质粒对颗粒细胞凋亡及周期的影响;随后使用RT-qPCR法在细胞水平检测重组质粒对细胞凋亡相关基因Bcl-2、Bax、Caspase-3,细胞周期相关因子Cyclin A1、Cyclin D2、Cyclin E mRNA表达水平的影响,最后,以多胎性状候选基因BMPR-IB、FSHR、INHA为功能基因,在转录与翻译水平上验证重组质粒对其mRNA与蛋白表达的影响。双酶切及测序结果证实,黔北麻羊CTSD基因真核表达载体pEGFP-N3-CTSD构建成功,且在转录与翻译水平极显著上调CTSD在颗粒细胞中的表达（P<0.01）;细胞增殖检测结果表明,颗粒细胞中上调CTSD后能够抑制细胞的增殖,其中在12、24、48、72 h对细胞增殖的抑制效率达到极显著（P<0.01）;细胞凋亡检测结果表明,CTSD的过表达能够极显著促进颗粒细胞的凋亡（P<0.01）,且能够显著下调细胞抗凋亡基因Bcl-2的表达（P<0.05）,极显著上调细胞促凋亡相关基因Bax、Caspase-3的表达（P<0.01）;此外,细胞周期检测发现,pEGFP-N3-CTSD在转染后能够极显著上调G0/G1期与G2/M期的细胞数量（P<0.01）,极显著下调S期细胞数量（P<0.01）,同时能够极显著提高细胞周期相关因子Cyclin A1的表达（P<0.01）,极显著降低Cyclin D2的表达（P<0.01）。RT-qPCR及Western blot检测结果表明,在颗粒细胞中上调CTSD后,能够极显著的下调多胎性状候选基因与蛋白BMPR-IB、FSHR、INHA在转录和翻译水平中的表达（P<0.01）。本研究发现,CTSD的高表达能抑制细胞的增殖,促进细胞凋亡,改变颗粒细胞的周期进程;还能改变细胞凋亡相关因子Bcl-2、Bax、Caspase-3与细胞周期相关因子Cyclin A1、Cyclin D2、Cyclin E的表达;同时也能够极显著降低颗粒细胞中多胎性状候选基因与蛋白BMPR-IB、FSHR、INHA的表达量（P<0.01）。这提示,CTSD可能通过改变细胞水平相关因子的表达量来调控颗粒细胞的生物学行为以及影响山羊多胎性状候选基因的表达进而间接的成为影响山羊产羔性状的重要因子,本研究为进一步探明CTSD对山羊产羔性状调控机理及对颗粒细胞的影响机制奠定基础。

【目的】通过对猪圆环病毒Ⅱ型（PCV2）体外感染3D4/2细胞浓度、时间与细胞炎症水平进行探讨,建立PCV2体外感染3D4/2细胞炎症反应模型,以期为后期药物调控PCV2诱发3D4/2细胞炎症反应的研究奠定基础。【方法】将3D4/2细胞分为对照组及10⁰、10^-1、10^-2和10^-3 PCV2感染组,每组3个重复。对照组用DMEM培养,各PCV2感染组用不同稀释倍数PCV2液培养,2 h后均更换为含5%胎牛血清（FBS）的DMEM维持液进行培养,培养4、8、12和24 h后分别收集细胞及细胞上清液。采用Griess法检测一氧化氮（NO）水平,DCFH-DA荧光探针法检测活性氧（ROS）水平,酶标法检测还原型谷胱甘肽（GSH）水平,分光光度法检测黄嘌呤氧化酶（XOD）和髓过氧化物酶（MPO）活性,ELISA法测定白细胞介素-1β（IL-1β）、IL-6、肿瘤坏死因子-α（TNF-α）、IL-10、γ干扰素（IFN-γ）、IL-8、单核细胞趋化蛋白1（MCP-1）以及环氧合酶1（COX-1）和COX-2的分泌水平。【结果】10⁰至10^-3 PCV2作用4、8、12和24 h均能够成功感染3D4/2细胞。与对照组相比,10⁰ PCV2在感染3D4/2细胞4、8、12、24 h后ROS水平均极显著升高（P<0.01）,10^-1至10^-3 PCV2感染3D4/2细胞8、12、24 h后ROS水平显著或极显著升高（P<0.05;P<0.01）;10⁰至10^-3 PCV2感染3D4/2细胞8、12、24 h后,细胞内NO浓度及MPO活性显著提高（P<0.05）,细胞上清液中的IL-1β、IL-6、TNF-α、IL-10、IFN-γ、IL-8和MCP-1水平及COX-1活性均显著或极显著升高（P<0.05;P<0.01）,其中10⁰ PCV2感染3D4/2细胞后,各炎症因子水平上升最显著,且随着时间的延长,NO浓度逐渐升高,XOD活性逐渐降低。【结论】PCV2可诱导3D4/2细胞炎症反应,且10⁰ PCV2体外感染3D4/2细胞4~12 h是建立炎症模型的最佳条件。
