In vivo evidence for possible up-regulating roles of lysophosphatidic acid around fertilization in rats
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) produced by autotaxin (ATX) is recognized as a multi-functional mediator in mammalian reproduction. This study focused on possible effect(s) of LPA on ovulated cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) around fertilization in rats in vivo. Immunohistochemistry revealed the cell-type-dependent localization of candidates of synthetic enzymes, ATX and two phospholipases A2 isofroms, and LPA receptors LPA1-4 in ovulated COCs and in oviductal epithelium. The eggs ovulated with a form of COCs became denuded of cumulus cells and underwent fragmentation in the absence of fertilization. In vivo experiments of local administration in non-copulated rats demonstrated that eggs denudation was increased by LPA and decreased by anti-ATX antibody and that fragmentation was inhibited by LPA and stimulated by an ATX chemical inhibitor. Furthermore, LPA administration in adult copulated rats increased the rate of cleaved embryos significantly. Obtained results suggest the presence of LPA synthesis and action system in ovulated COCs within the oviductal ampulla and positive actions of LPA possibly at multiple sites around fertilization in rats.

MicroRNAs has been shown to regulate lipogenesis in liver. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the effects of resveratrol (RSV) on lipogenesis is associated with the changes in the expression of two miRNAs (miR-107 and miR-10b) that regulate lipogenic pathways. 30 wild type C57BL/6j male mice were randomly fed three diets: a standard chow diet (ND), a high fat diet (HFD, 60%...
