We characterized taurine transport in two continuous renal epithelial cell lines: LLC-PK1, derived from the proximal tubule of the pig, and the Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK), which was originated from the distal tubule of the dog. In the LLC-PK1 cell line, taurine transport is greatest at the apical surface of the cell, whereas in the MDCK cell line taurine transport is greatest at the basolateral surface. Both apical and basolateral surfaces of LLC-PK1 and MDCK cells exhibit an adaptive response to the extracellular taurine concentration (medium taurine concentration). Only the basolateral surface of the MDCK cell responded to hyperosmolality with increased taurine accumulation. This indicates differential control of the beta-amino acid transport system by substrate and external tonicity. The function of the beta-amino acid transport system may be different depending on the cell. In the LLC-PK1 cell, there is net transepithelial movement of taurine and changes in transporter activity in response to supply of substrate. In contrast, taurine accumulation by the MDCK cell appears to be a mechanism for adaptation to osmotic stress.

Oviduct flushing is enriched by a wide variety of nutrients that guide the 3–4 days journey of pre-implantation embryo through the oviduct as it develops into a competent blastocyst (BL). However, little is known about the specific requirement and role of these nutrients that orchestrate the early stages of embryonic development. In this study, we aimed to characterize the effect of in vitro-derived bovine oviduct epithelial cell (BOECs) secretion that mimics the in vivo oviduct micro-fluid like environment, which allows successful embryonic development. In this study, the addition of an in vitro derived BOECs-condition media (CM) and its isolated exosomes (Exo) significantly enhances the quality and development of BL, while the hatching ability of BLs was found to be high (48.8%) in the BOECs-Exo supplemented group. Surprisingly, BOECs-Exo have a dynamic effect on modulating the embryonic metabolism by restoring the pyruvate flux into TCA-cycle. Our analysis reveals that Exo treatment significantly upregulates the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GLUD1) expression, required for metabolic fine-tuning of the TCA-cycle in the developing embryos. Exo treatment increases the influx into TCA-cycle by strongly suppressing the PDH and GLUD1 upstream inhibitors, i.e., PDK4 and SIRT4. Improvement of TCA-cycle function was further accompanied by higher metabolic activity of mitochondria in BOECs-CM and Exo in vitro embryos. Our study uncovered, for the first time, the possible mechanism of BOECs-derived secretion in re-establishing the TCA-cycle flux by the utilization of available nutrients and highlighted the importance of pyruvate in supporting bovine in vitro embryonic development.
