Summary: This study used lentiviral-mediated RNA interference to investigate the regulatory role of chorionic somatomammotropin hormone (CSH) in the utilization of calcium, phosphate, and vitamin D in late gestation in sheep. The study found that CSH RNAi significantly affected the uptake and concentration of calcium, phosphate, and vitamin D, as well as the expression levels of several candidate mRNAs.

Summary: The present study investigated the morphological changes in the endometrium of cows during early pregnancy, and found that there were changes in cell apoptosis and gene expression in the uterine and caruncle tissues. Furthermore, the stimulation of 20 alpha-HSD and Casp-3 promoted the reorganization of the uterine and caruncle tissues.

Summary: Passive transfer of antithyroid antibodies in mice causes reproductive disorders. Placental tissue of experimental animals under the influence of circulating thyroperoxidase antibodies was examined using immunohistochemistry. Significant changes in the expression of various factors were observed, including a decrease in VEGFR1, thrombospondin 1, CD14, CD56, kisspeptin, and MCL 1, and an increase in laminin and FGF-beta. These findings suggest an imbalance of pro- and anti-angiogenic factors and abnormal trophoblast invasion processes in placentae of mice with passive transfer of anti-TPO antibodies.

Summary: Based on the research of pre- and post-hatching tissues of the echidna, it was found that the echidna egg tooth is similar to the first teeth in reptiles and fish, and it is ankylosed to the premaxilla rather than forming a tooth root like other mammals. The caruncle of the echidna is separate from the nasal capsule and expresses markers of cornification, similar to birds and turtles. These findings suggest that the monotreme egg tooth shares similarities with reptilian teeth, indicating a conservation from a common ancestor of mammals and reptiles.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between vascular distribution and the expression and methylation patterns of major angiogenic factors in the goat caruncle during early pregnancy. The results showed that vascular density and area increased gradually, and cell proliferation rate also increased. The expression patterns of angiogenic factors changed, and the methylation levels of ANGPT2 were negatively correlated with vascular density. These findings suggest that methylation may be involved in the regulation of caruncle angiogenesis in early pregnancy in goats.

Summary: This study aimed to screen candidate housekeeping genes in Carpra hircus uterus caruncles. The stability of 22 selected genes was assessed during non-pregnant and pregnancy stages. PPIB and EIF3K were found to be the most stable reference genes and recommended for use in nonpregnant and whole stages of goat uterus caruncle tissue. This study identified suitable reference genes for gene expression studies in uterus caruncle tissues at various stages of non-pregnancy and pregnancy.

Summary: The study conducted a genome-wide comparative analysis of DNA methylation in germinated cotyledons of soybean, revealing more methylated sites in the cco mutant but at a slightly lower level overall compared to the wild type. Various differentially methylated genes were identified in cotyledons, with hypomethylated genes related to sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity. Functional characterization demonstrated that GmHDZ20 is involved in regulating plant growth.

Summary: OT and AVP exhibit opposite roles in modulating stress, anxiety, and social behaviors, potentially due to their high sequence homology with their receptors. The crosstalk between these peptides and receptors in vivo remains unclear, but understanding this interaction is essential for elucidating the roles of OT and AVP, as well as for therapeutic targets in treating human disorders.

Summary: Di-calcium silicate (Ca2SiO4) phosphors doped with various Ln(3+) ions were prepared using a high temperature solid-state reaction technique. The raw materials were derived from renewable sources instead of non-renewable minerals. The resulting phosphors exhibited strong and characteristic photoluminescence peaks, and their emission characteristics were quantified and found to be better than other phosphors derived from non-renewable minerals. Therefore, Ca2SiO4:Ln(3+) phosphors have the potential to be used in low-cost solid-state lighting devices while utilizing renewable agricultural and food waste materials effectively.

Summary: Muscle development is vital in pig breeding programs, but the mechanisms regulating myogenesis remain unclear. Integrating transcriptome data with histology and meat yield, this study compared two pig breeds (Mali and Hampshire) to identify differences in myogenesis during early growth. The analysis revealed differentially expressed genes and highlighted the importance of myoblast fusion and myogenic activities in breed muscularity. The results could aid in selecting animals with desired muscularities.

Summary: The presence of a more efficient glycolysis mechanism depending on pyruvate in stallion spermatozoa can counteract the detrimental effects of higher glucose concentrations. Incubating spermatozoa with 10 mM pyruvate in a modified Tyrode's media with 67 mM glucose showed increased motility and maintained viability. This improvement is attributed to the conversion of lactate to pyruvate and increased NAD(+) enhancing glycolysis efficiency.

The addition of NOB improves sperm motility, acrosome integrity, viability, and mitochondrial membrane potential, reduces lipid peroxidation, and increases cleavage and blastocyst formation rates. Furthermore, NOB treatment upregulates the expression of genes related to pluripotency and cell differentiation in the resulting embryos.

Summary: This study investigated the cytotoxicity and toxicological mechanisms of fluorochloridone (FLC) on cultured goat Sertoli cells. The results showed that FLC exposure induced oxidative stress, promoted apoptosis and autophagy, inhibited lysosomal biogenesis, and blocked autophagic flux in goat Sertoli cells. FLC also caused mitochondrial dysfunction and disturbed mitophagy, leading to cell apoptosis. The antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) reduced FLC-induced ROS accumulation and reversed the disorder of autophagy levels.
