Project description:The objective of modern pig breeding is to exhaust the genetic potential in reproduction performance of sows regarding to litter size and litter weight of piglets. During gestation period, umbilical cord contributes to placenta-fetal communication and plays an indispensable role in the intrauterine embryonic development. In this study, we attempted to analyze the molecular mechanism of reproductive declined in high-parity sows from the perspective of umbilical cord blood. Firstly, we analyzed the reproductive character data of sows, and then the histological analysis of umbilical cord phenotype was performed. Next, we evaluated the effect of umbilical cord blood exosomes (UCB-EXO) on angiogenesis. Moreover, the expression characteristics of miRNA in UCB-EXO of high-parity sows with poor reproductive performance (OS) and multiparous sows with excellent reproductive performance (MS) were analyzed. Results showed that the reproductive performance performed best at 3rd-7th and gradually decreased after 8th parities. Angiogenesis was repressed in OS piglets. Moreover, the Exo-MS exhibited pro-angiogenesis properties, with those of Exo-OS were diminished. With the increase of parities, the angiogenesis and immune function of sows decreased significantly, greatly limited the reproductive potential of sows. The data demonstrated that miRNAs of UCB-EXO played a central role in intrauterine development and suggested a novel possible explanation for reproductive potential, provides reference for increasing female reproductive efficiency.

Project description:Copper (Cu) is not only one of the essential trace elements for animal body, but also an important nutrient component for normal physiology and metabolism of animal reproductive system. Lack or excess of copper will directly or indirectly affect animal reproductive activities. However, the effect of copper on reproductive performance of boars and sows has not been studied and the effect of excessive Copper addition on reproductive performance of sows is even less, and the molecular mechanism is poorly understood. Here, we document that copper has the negative effects on the oocyte maturation and Organelle function. We show that copper exposure perturbs the porcine oocyte meiotic maturation and impair the spindle/chromosome structure, displaying an obviously defective spindle assembly, and abnormal distribution of actin dynamics and cortical granules. In addition, single-cell transcriptome analysis identifies target effectors of copper in porcine oocytes, which was further demonstrated that copper exposure affects the distribution and function of mitochondria, and high ROS levels, DNA damage, and early apoptosis in porcine oocytes. Collectively, we demonstrate that copper exposure causes abnormalities in mitochondrial function and distribution, resulting in increased oxidative stress ROS levels, DNA damage and apoptosis, ultimately leading to decreased quality of porcine oocytes.

Project description:Prolificacy related traits are of great economical interest in the pig industry. microRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression important for reproductive processes. In pigs, the roles of ovarian miRNAs during gestation remain unknown although the ovaries are essential during gestation. It has been hypothesised that ovarian miRNAs could participate during the porcine gestation and, moreover, they could influence the prolificacy levels of sows. The miRNA expression profile was compared in the ovaries of pregnant Iberian x Meishan F2 sows displaying extreme phenotypes regarding prolificacy levels defined as the number of embryos (NE) attached to the uterus at 30-32 days of gestation. miR-146a-5p and miR-142-3p were differentially expressed between high (NE≥13) and low (NE≤11) prolificacy sows. In silico functional analyses of the predicted mRNA targets for these miRNAs revealed that miR-146a-5p targets were mainly involved in the immune system response important for the establishment of the maternal-foetal tolerance, implantation and maintenance of pregnancy. On the other hand, miR-142-3p targets participated in different biological processes that would contribute to the homeostasis maintenance to ensure a correct functional development of the ovaries. miRNAs associated with prolificacy levels could regulate negatively, by a novel post-transcriptional mechanism, their predicted mRNA targets, PPM1K, TLR1 and CPEB2 which have been reported as differentially expressed in the ovaries of pregnant sows regarding the prolificacy levels. Furthermore, among predicted mRNA targets for miRNAs associated with prolificacy, four genes, differentially expressed in the ovaries of pregnant sows regarding prolificacy levels, (LRRK1, BAT1, CPEB2, CCL8) are proposed to be good candidate genes for litter size due to their location within confidence intervals for prolificacy QTL described previously. Overall, it is suggested that the up-regulation of miR-146a-5p and miR-142-3p in the ovaries of pregnant sows could help in the establishment of a uterine environment, which would favor the embryonic development.

Project description:Purpose:The goal of this study was to enrich understanding of the reproductive difference Methods: Multiparous Canadian Large White cyclic sows were divided into two parts: high (H; total number of piglets born > 15.73) and low (L; total number of piglets born < 11.11) fecundity. Eight sows with similar parity from each part were chosen (n=16). Ovarian tissues were obtained on the 14 day (day 1 = first day of estrus) after estrus as in the luteal phase (L) and 20 day of the estrous cycle as in the follicular phase (F). Transcriptome profiling of ovarian tissues were generated by deep sequencing, in quadruplicate, using Illumina HiSeq X10 instrument. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we obtained the differentially expressed miRNAs between the high and low fecundity, with a fold change ≥1.5 and p value < 0.05. These results provide further insight into fecundity in pigs. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of ovary transcriptome. It will be significantly helpful to display a novel regulatory mechanism for further investigation of prolificacy in pigs.

Project description:The seminal plasma (SP) is the liquid component of semen that facilitates sperm transport through the female genital tract. SP modulates the activity of the ovary, oviductal environment and uterine function during the periovulatory and early pregnancy period. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted in the oviduct (oEVs) and uterus (uEVs) have been shown to influence the expression of endometrial genes that regulate fertilization and early embryo development. In some species, semen is composed of well-separated fractions that vary in concentration of spermatozoa and SP composition and volume. This study aimed to investigate the impact of different accumulative fractions of the porcine ejaculate (F1, composed of the sperm-rich fraction (SRF); F2, composed of F1 plus the intermediate fraction; F3, composed of F2 plus the post-SRF) on oEVs and uEVs protein cargo. Six days after the onset of estrus, we determined the oEVs and uEVs size and protein concentration in pregnant sows by artificial insemination (AI-sows) and in non-inseminated sows as control (C-sows). We also identified the main proteins in oEVs and uEVs, in AI-F1, AI-F2, AI-F3, and C-sows. Our results indicated that although the size of EVs is similar between AI- and C-sows, the protein concentration of both oEVs and uEVs was significantly lower in AI-sows (p < 0.05). Proteomic analysis identified 38 unique proteins in oEVs from AI-sows, mainly involved in protein stabilization, glycolytic and carbohydrate processes. The uEVs from AI-sows showed the presence of 43 unique proteins, including already-known fertility-related proteins (EZR, HSPAA901, PDS). We also demonstrated that the protein composition of oEVs and uEVs differed depending on the seminal fraction(s) inseminated (F1, F2, or F3). In conclusion, we have found a specific protein cargo in uterine and oviductal EVs depending on the type of semen fraction the sow was inseminated with, and these insemination with different seminal fractions results in the oviductal and uterine secretion of specific EVs proteins are closely associated with reproductive processes.
