Coagulansin-A (withanolide) is the steroidal lactone obtained from Withania coagulans, which belong to Solanaceae family. The coagulansin-A induces heat shock protein 70 (HSP-70), which acts as a cellular antioxidant. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of coagulansin-A on bovine oocytes maturation and embryo development in vitro. All these oocytes were aspirated from the ovaries obtained from Korean Hanwoo cows at a local abattoir. To analyse the possible beneficial effect of coagulansin-A on bovine oocytes maturation in vitro, 355 oocytes per group (control and treatment) in seven replicates were subjected with three concentrations i.e. (1, 5, and 10 µM) of coagulansin-A. The coagulansin-A was added in the in vitro-matured (IVM) media for 20 to 22 h followed by IVF for 18 to 22 h, and after fertilization the fertilized oocytes were transferred to IVC1 media for 3 days. After 3 days, the cleavage rate was checked and the 8-cell stage embryos were transferred to IVC2 media and embryo development was checked at Day 8. The culture was carried out at 5% CO2 and 38.5°C. The results indicated that among the three concentrations of Coagulansin-A, only 5 µM remarkably (P < 0.05) improved embryo development (Day 8 blastocyst), being 27.30% and 40.01% for control and treated groups, respectively. This concentration also significantly (P < 0.05) encouraged the activation of HSP-70, having 16.44 arbitrary units (AU) and 35.41 AU integral optical density (IOD) for control and treated groups, respectively. The immunofluorescence analysis revealed that 5 µM coagulansin-A supplementation significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited oxidative stress and inflammation during bovine embryo development in vitro by decreasing IOD of 8-Oxoguanosine (8-OxoG) from 28.12 AU in control to 18.06 AU for the treated group and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) IOD (P < 0.05) from 42.25 AU to 21.80 for control and treated groups, respectively. Additionally, the results obtained from terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase TUNEL assay confirmed that coagulansin-A treatment reduced the bovine embryo DNA damage significantly (P < 0.05) from 7.4 ± 0.375 to 5.7 ± 0.287 and improved the embryo quality (P < 0.05) with mean cell numbers of 127.7 ± 4.161 and 150.1 ± 3.624 per embryo for control and coagulansin-A treated groups, respectively. This study provides new information regarding the mechanisms by which coagulansin-A promotes bovine oocyte maturation and embryo development in vitro.

Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a chaperon that stabilizes unfolded or partially folded proteins, preventing inappropriate inter- and intramolecular interactions. Here, we examined the developmental competence of in vitro matured oocytes exposed to heat stress with or without HSP70. Bovine oocytes were matured for 24 h at 39 °C without (group C39) or with HSP70 (group H39) and at 41 °C for the first 6 h, followed by 16 h at 39 °C with (group H41) or without HSP70 (group C41). After insemination, zygotes were cultured for 9 days at 39 °C. Cleavage and embryo yield were assessed 48 h post insemination and on days 7, 8, 9, respectively. Gene expression was assessed by RT-PCR in oocytes, cumulus cells and blastocysts. In C41, blastocysts formation rate was lower than in C39 and on day 9 it was lower than in H41. In oocytes, HSP70 enhanced the expression of three HSP genes regardless of incubation temperature. HSP70 at 39 °C led to tight coordination of gene expression in oocytes and blastocysts, but not in cumulus cells. Our results imply that HSP70, by preventing apoptosis, supporting signal transduction, and increasing antioxidant protection of the embryo, protects heat stressed maturing bovine oocyte and restores its developmental competence.

Εισαγωγή: Η υπερπλασία του έσω χιτώνα παίζει μείζων ρόλο στην επαναστένωση (in-stentrestenosis). Στην παρούσα μελέτη αξιολογήσαμε in vitro την επίδραση της D-24851(κυτταροτοξική ουσία που σταματά τον κυτταρικό κύκλο στο στάδιο G2-M) στονπολλαπλασιασμό των λείων μυϊκών κυττάρων και μελετήσαμε την ασφάλεια και τηνδραστικότητα μίας ενδαγγειακής πρόθεσης (stent) επικαλυμμένης με πολυμερή ουσία πουαπελευθερώνει την D-24851, στην αναστολή της υπερπλασίας του έσω χιτώνα χωρίς ναεμποδίζει την αναγεννητική ικανότητα του ενδοθηλίου σε in vivo πειραματικό μοντέλο.Υλικό και Μέθοδοι: Γυμνά μεταλλικά stent (n=6), stent επικαλυμμένα μόνο με πολυμερήουσία (polymer-coated, n=7) και stent επικαλυμμένα με πολυμερή ουσία πουαπελευθερώνουν 31±1μg (low-dose, n=7), 216±8 μg (high-dose, n=6) ή 1774±39 μg(extreme-dose, n=5) της D-24851 εμφυτεύτηκαν στις μηριαίες αρτηρίες λευκών New Zealandκουνελιών. Τα πειραματόζωα θυσιάστηκαν στις 28 ημέρες για ιστομορφομετρική ανάλυση.Για την αξιολόγηση της ενδοθηλιακής αναγέννησης στις 90 ημέρες, 12 πειραματόζωαχρησιμοποιήθηκαν για την τοποθέτηση polymer-coated (n=3), low dose (n=3), high dose(n=3) or extreme dose (n=3) ενδαγγειακών προθέσεων.Αποτελέσματα: In vitro η D-24851 αναστέλλει την υπερπλασία των λείων μυϊκών κυττάρωνκαι επάγει την απόπτωση τους χωρίς να αυξάνει την επαγωγή της heat shock protein 70(HSP-70), μία κυτταροπροστατευτική και αντι-αποπτωτική πρωτεΐνη. Η θεραπεία με lowdoseD-24851 stents συνδυάστηκε με 38% (P=0.029) μείωση της υπερπλαστικής περιοχήςτου έσω χιτώνα και 35% (P=0.003) μείωση της επι τοις εκατό στένωσης του αυλού σεσύγκριση με τα γυμνά μεταλλικά stents. Ο τραυματισμός και η φλεγμονή του αρτηριακού τοιχώματος δεν παρουσίασαν σημαντικές διαφορές μεταξύ των ομάδων. Τα επικαλυμμέναμόνο με πολυμερή ουσία stents εμφάνισαν παρόμοια ανάπτυξη νεοιστού σε σύγκριση με ταγυμνά μεταλλικά stents. Ωστόσο, όλες οι ομάδες των stents με D-24851 παρουσίασαν ατελήενδοθηλιοποίηση συγκρινόμενα με τα polymer-coated stents.Συμπεράσματα: Οι επικεκαλυμμένες ενδαγγειακές προσθέσεις με πολυμερή ουσία καιχαμηλη δόση D-24851 μειώνουν σημαντικά την υπερπλασιά του έσω χιτώνα. Λόγω τηςατελούς ενδοθηλιοποίησης, μακράς διάρκειας μελέτες είναι απαραίτητες για ναπιστοποιήσουν ότι η αναστολή του νεοιστού παραμένει και μετά τις 28 ημέρες.

Effects of elevated in vitro temperature on in vitro produced early bovine embryos were analysed in order to determine its impact on the expression of heat shock protein 70 (hsp70). In vitro matured bovine oocytes, 2-cell and 8-cell embryos, and day 9 hatched blastocysts subjected to control and elevated temperature conditions were analysed by semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction methods for hsp70 mRNA expression. Results revealed the expression of hsp70 mRNA under control conditions and that early embryos can respond to heat stress by transcribing hsp70 mRNA. Confocal laser scanning microscopy used to localise the hsp70 protein in oocytes and embryos revealed that the distribution of hsp70 in the ooplasm of immature and mature oocytes is unaffected by exposure to elevated temperatures and that this protein was closely associated with the meiotic spindle, indicating its possible role in stabilising this structure. In 8-cell embryos derived under control conditions, hsp70 was evenly distributed in the cytoplasm but appeared as aggregates in some embryos exposed to elevated temperature. In heat-stressed hatched blastocysts, a more even distribution was noted following heat stress relative to corresponding controls, indicating their competence to respond to elevated temperature.

The bull effects on apoptosis, and BAX, BCL2, TP53, heat shock protein 70 (HSPA1A) and interferon tau (IFNT) gene expression in in vitro produced embryos were investigated. The degree of correlation of this effect with the 60- to 90-d non-return rates was also investigated. Standard in vitro fertilization and embryo culture were performed using frozen semen from six genetically unrelated bulls. Live, apoptotic, and dead cell percentages in blastocysts were determined, after staining with annexin V, propidium iodide, and bisbenzamide. BAX, BCL2, TP53, HSPA1A and IFNT gene expression levels in blastocysts were determined by RT-PCR. The non-return rate data for all experimental bulls were obtained from a local artificial insemination center. Apoptotic, live and dead blastomere percentages, and HSPA1A and IFNT expression levels in blastocysts were different (P < 0.01) among bulls. BAX, BCL2 and TP53 expression levels were not different among bulls. The non-return rate was highly correlated (P < 0.05) with BCL2 (r = -0.93) or the ratio of BAX to BCL2 (r = 0.84) gene expression. None of the other in vitro fertility parameters were correlated with non-return rate. This study concluded that the development, apoptosis, and HSPA1A and IFNT gene expression of in vitro produced embryos are influenced by individual bulls. Key words: Bovine, embryo, fertility, apoptosis, gene expression, interferon

In this study we examined the mechanism of corpus luteum (CL) regression by measuring changes in expression of prostaglandin G/H synthase-1 (PGHS-1) and -2 (PGHS-2) in day 4 CL and inducible heat shock protein 70 (HSP-70) in day 4 and day 9 CL of immature superovulated rats. The rats were superovulated and treated with 500 µg of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) on day 4 or day 9 after CL formation. Ovaries and serial blood samples were removed during the 24-hour period following treatment. Plasma progesterone was determined by radioimmunoassay while mRNA abundance and protein expression were assessed by semiquantitative RT-PCR and immunoblot analysis, respectively. One hour after PGF2α, both day 4 and day 9 rats exhibited a significant decrease in progesterone secretion; however, there was a greater decrease in day 9 rats. In ovarian samples removed on day 4, there was a significant increase in mRNA for PGHS-2 at 1 hour after PGF2α. PGHS-1 mRNA content remained unchanged. Immunoblot analyses showed an increase in PGHS-2 protein expression only at 8 h. There were no changes in PGHS-1 protein expression. In day 9 rats, ovarian HSP-70 protein levels increased by 50% after PGF2α injection; however, on day 4 there was no change in expression of this protein over the sampling period. These results suggest that expression of PGHS-2 may be involved in inhibiting progesterone production and that expression of HSP-70 may be required for complete CL regression in the rat.Key words: rat, prostaglandin F2α, corpus luteum, prostaglandin G/H synthase, heat shock protein-70.
