RESUMEN
Genetic variation facilitates the evolution, environmental adaptability, and biodiversity of organisms. Danish Large White (LW) pigs have more desirable phenotypes compared with local Chinese pigs, which have difficulty adapting to the modern swine industry. However, the genome-wide mutational differences between these pig breeds are yet to be evaluated. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate genomic variation and identify breed-specific SNPs in Danish LW pigs. Here, 43 LW, 15 Diqing Tibetan (DQZ), and 15 Diannan small-ear (DN) pigs whose genomes were re-sequenced with 5× depth were selected. This was followed by a conjoined analysis of our previous resequencing data of 24 Anqing six-end white (AQ) and six Asian wild (SS) pigs. In total, 39,158,378 SNPs and 13,143,989 insertion-deletions were obtained in all breeds. The variation number of LW pigs was the lowest, with 287,194 breed-specific and 1289 non-synonymous SNPs compared with Chinese breeds. Functional analysis of the breed-specific non-synonymous SNPs indicated that these mutations were mainly associated with the reproductive performance, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio of LW pigs. These findings provide a theoretical basis for genetic improvements in the Chinese swine industry.

Vitrification of porcine immature oocytes at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage reduces subsequent embryo yield and changes at the molecular level may occur during embryonic development. Therefore, the present study used porcine parthenogenetic embryos as a model to investigate the effect of GV oocyte vitrification on the transcriptional profiles of the resultant embryos at the 4-cell and blastocyst stages using the Smart-seq2 RNA-seq technique. We identified 743 (420 up-regulated and 323 down-regulated) and 994 (554 up-regulated and 440 down-regulated) differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from 4-cell embryos and blastocysts derived from vitrified GV oocytes, respectively. Functional enrichment analysis of DEGs in 4-cell embryos showed that vitrification of GV oocytes influenced regulatory mechanisms related to transcription regulation, apoptotic process, metabolism and key pathways such as the MAPK signaling pathway. Moreover, DEGs in blastocysts produced from vitrified GV oocytes were enriched in critical biological functions including cell adhesion, cell migration, AMPK signaling pathway, GnRH signaling pathway and so on. In addition, the transcriptomic analysis and quantitative real-time PCR results were consistent. In summary, the present study revealed that the vitrification of porcine GV oocytes could alter gene expression patterns during subsequent embryonic developmental stages, potentially affecting their developmental competence.

Baoshan pigs (BS) are a local breed in Yunnan Province that may face inbreeding owing to its limited population size. To accurately evaluate the inbreeding level of the BS pig population, we used whole-genome resequencing to identify runs of homozygosity (ROH) regions in BS pigs, calculated the inbreeding coefficient based on pedigree and ROH, and screened candidate genes with important economic traits from ROH islands. A total of 22,633,391 SNPS were obtained from the whole genome of BS pigs, and 201 ROHs were detected from 532,450 SNPS after quality control. The number of medium-length ROH (1-5 Mb) was the highest (98.43%), the number of long ROH (>5 Mb) was the lowest (1.57%), and the inbreeding of BS pigs mainly occurred in distant generations. The inbreeding coefficient FROH, calculated based on ROH, was 0.018 ± 0.016, and the FPED, calculated based on the pedigree, was 0.027 ± 0.028, which were positively correlated. Forty ROH islands were identified, containing 507 genes and 891 QTLs. Several genes were associated with growth and development (IGFALS, PTN, DLX5, DKK1, WNT2), meat quality traits (MC3R, ACSM3, ECI1, CD36, ROCK1, CACNA2D1), and reproductive traits (NPW, TSHR, BMP7). This study provides a reference for the protection and utilization of BS pigs.

In this study, the complete proteome of goat ejaculated semen including spermatozoa and seminal plasma was established, applying a tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling together with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In seminal plasma, 2299 proteins were identified and 2098 proteins were quantified. The GO analysis demonstrated that 32% proteins were involved in metabolic activities. 46% proteins are located at intracellular region, intracellular organelle, and membrane-bounded organelle. Regarding molecular function, 40% proteins are engaged on protein binding, hydrolase activity, and ion binding. The KEGG analysis indicated a primary involvement of the identified proteins in protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, lysosome, and proteome. In spermatozoa, 2491 proteins were identified and quantified. 39% proteins are involved in metabolic activities. 48% proteins are located at intracellular region, intracellular organelle, and membrane-bounded organelle. 38% proteins are engaged on protein binding, hydrolase activity, and ion binding. The KEGG analysis demonstrated their roles derived from the identified proteins in proteasome, glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism, and citrate cycle. Additionally, 1312 proteins were simultaneously presented in spermatozoa and seminal plasma. The involvement of 42% proteins in metabolic activities were observed. 47% proteins are located at intracellular region, intracellular organelle, and membrane-bounded organelle. The common proteins are mainly engaged on protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, proteome, glycolysis, lysosome, and citrate cycle. Collectively, this study established the protein database of goat semen. More studies should be used to elucidate functionality of these identified proteins.

Cryopreservation of embryos has been confirmed to cause oxidative stress as a factor responsible for impaired developmental competence. Currently, astaxanthin (Ax) raises considerable interest as a strong exogenous antioxidant and for its potential in reproductive biology. The present study aimed to investigate the beneficial effects of Ax supplementation during in vitro culture of vitrified porcine zygotes and the possible underlying mechanisms. First, the parthenogenetic zygotes were submitted to vitrification and then cultured in the medium added with various concentrations of Ax (0, 0.5, 1.5, and 2.5 µM). Supplementation of 1.5 µM Ax achieved the highest blastocyst yield and was considered as the optimal concentration. This concentration also improved the blastocyst formation rate of vitrified cloned zygotes. Moreover, the vitrified parthenogenetic zygotes cultured with Ax exhibited significantly increased mRNA expression of CDX2, SOD2, and GPX4 in their blastocysts. We further analyzed oxidative stress, mitochondrial and lysosomal function in the 4-cell embryos and blastocysts derived from parthenogenetic zygotes. For the 4-cell embryos, vitrification disturbed the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione (GSH), and the activities of mitochondria, lysosome and cathepsin B, and Ax supplementation could fully or partially rescue these values. The blastocysts obtained from vitrified zygotes showed significantly reduced ATP content and elevated cathepsin B activity, which also was recovered by Ax supplementation. There were no significant differences in other parameters mentioned above for the resultant blastocysts. Furthermore, the addition of Ax significantly enhanced mitochondrial activity and reduced lysosomal activity in resultant blastocysts. In conclusion, these findings revealed that Ax supplementation during the culture period improved subsequent embryonic development and quality of porcine zygotes after vitrification and might be used to ameliorate the recovery culture condition for vitrified embryos.
RESUMEN
The change of sperm protein profile after the cryopreservation process may influence fertilization and early embryonic development. The purpose of the present study was to identify ram sperm proteomic modifications induced by the cryopreservation process using the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification labeling technology (iTRAQ) coupled with the parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) technology. Semen samples were collected from five Yunnan semi-fine wool rams using an electroejaculator. Sperm motility (CASA), plasma membrane (HOST test), and acrosome integrity (FITC-PSA) were evaluated after freeze-thawing. The total proteins of fresh and frozen-thawed sperm were extracted and purified, followed by identifying ram sperm proteomic modifications using the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification labeling technique (iTRAQ) coupled with the parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) technology. The results showed a significant reduction (P < 0.05) in all sperm parameters after thawing. 126 differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) were identified through comparison of the proteomes between fresh and frozen-thawed sperm. Among them, 90 proteins were down-regulated after the cryopreservation process. The remaining 36 proteins were up-regulated in frozen-thawed sperm. The results of functional annotation demonstrated the potential relationship of 10 DAPs with oxidoreductase activity. 18 and 15 DAPs may be involved in the stress and carbohydrate metabolic process, respectively. Furthermore, 8 DAPs may be functionally associated with reproduction. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) results demonstrated the primary enrichment of these identified DAPs in metabolic activities, disease, and oxidative phosphorylation. In order to confirm the reliability of the iTRAQ results, the changing trends of 10 proteins analyzed by PRM were similar to those of the corresponding proteins identified by iTRAQ. In conclusion, the cryopreservation process modifies the proteome of ram sperm, possibly leading to compromised fertility of post-thaw sperm. Additionally, the identified DAPs in this study may function as potential biomarkers for assessing the post-thaw quality of ram semen.

As one of the most powerful natural antioxidants, astaxanthin (Ax) has begun to be applied to the field of reproductive biology. Here we used porcine oocyte as a model to explore how Ax improves the oocyte potential during in vitro maturation (IVM), and we also investigated the cytoprotective effects of Ax on the vitrified oocytes. Ax supplementation (final concentration of 2.5 µM) was subjected for immature oocytes during vitrification and subsequent IVM; fresh oocytes were also matured in vitro in the presence or absence of 2.5 µM Ax. Our results showed that Ax significantly increased the survival rate of vitrified oocytes, and promoted the blastocyst yield of both fresh and vitrified oocytes after parthenogenetic activation and somatic cell nuclear transfer. The oocytes treated with Ax displayed significantly lower reactive oxygen species generation and higher glutathione level. Vitrification of oocytes had no impact on caspase-3, cathepsin B and autophagic activities; Ax significantly decreased the cathepsin B activity in both fresh and vitrified oocytes. Moreover, the relative fluorescence intensity of lysosomes was significantly increased in vitrified oocytes, which was recovered by Ax treatment. The mitochondrial activity did not differ between fresh and vitrified oocytes, and was significantly enhanced in Ax-treated oocytes. Furthermore, Ax significantly restored the decreased expression of BMP15, ZAR1, POU5F1, GPX4 and LAMP2 genes in vitrified oocytes. Both fresh and vitrified oocytes treated with Ax showed significantly higher mRNA levels of GDF9, POU5F1, SOD2, NRF2 and ATG5. Taken together, this study provides new perspectives in understanding the mechanisms by which Ax improves the developmental competence of both fresh and vitrified porcine oocytes.

Cryopreservation of porcine cloned zygotes has important implications for biotechnology and biomedicine research; however, lower embryo developmental potential remains an urgent problem to be resolved. For exploring the sublethal cryodamages during embryo development, this study was designed to acquire the mRNA and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) profiles of 2-cells, 4-cells and blastocysts derived from vitrified porcine cloned zygotes using transcriptome sequencing. We identified 167 differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs and 516 DE lncRNAs in 2-cell stage, 469 DE mRNAs and 565 lncRNAs in 4-cell stage, and 389 DE mRNAs and 816 DE lncRNAs in blastocyst stage. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that the DE mRNAs during embryo development were involved in many regulatory mechanisms related to cell cycle, cell proliferation, apoptosis, metabolism and others. Moreover, the target genes of DE lncRNAs in the three embryonic stages were also enriched in many key GO terms or pathways such as "defense response", "linoleic acid metabolic process", "embryonic axis specification", "negative regulation of protein neddylation", etc., In conclusion, the present study provided comprehensive transcriptomic data about mRNAs and lncRNAs for the vitrified porcine cloned zygotes during different developmental stages, which contributed to further understand the potential cryodamage mechanisms responsible for impaired embryo development.
RESUMEN
The dynamic changes in protein expression are well known to be required for oocyte meiotic maturation. Although proteomic analysis has been performed in porcine oocytes during in vitro maturation, there is still no full data because of the technical limitations at that time. Here, a novel tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative approach was used to compare the proteomic profiles of porcine immature and in vitro mature oocytes. The results of our study showed that there were 763 proteins considered with significant difference-450 over-expressed and 313 under-expressed proteins. The GO and KEGG analyses revealed multiple regulatory mechanisms of oocyte nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation such as spindle and chromosome configurations, cytoskeletal reconstruction, epigenetic modifications, energy metabolism, signal transduction and others. In addition, 12 proteins identified with high-confidence peptide and related to oocyte maturation were quantified by a parallel reaction monitoring technique to validate the reliability of TMT results. In conclusion, we provided a detailed proteomics dataset to enrich the understanding of molecular characteristics underlying porcine oocyte maturation in vitro.
RESUMEN
Mammalian oocytes represent impaired quality after undergoing a process of postovulatory aging, which can be alleviated through various effective ways such as reagent treatment. Accumulating evidences have revealed the beneficial effects of astaxanthin (Ax) as a potential antioxidant on reproductive biology. Here, porcine matured oocytes were used as a model to explore whether Ax supplement can protect against oocyte aging in vitro and the underlying mechanism, and therefore they were cultured with or without 2.5 µM Ax for an additional 24 h. Aged oocytes treated with Ax showed improved yield and quality of blastocysts as well as recovered expression of maternal genes. Importantly, oxidative stress in aged oocytes was relieved through Ax treatment, based on reduced reactive oxygen species and enhanced glutathione and antioxidant gene expression. Moreover, inhibition in apoptosis and autophagy of aged oocyte by Ax was confirmed through decreased caspase-3, cathepsin B and autophagic activities. Ax could also maintain spindle organization and actin expression, and rescue functional status of organelles including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes according to restored fluorescence intensity. In conclusion, Ax might provide an alternative for ameliorating the oocyte quality following aging in vitro, through the mechanisms mediated by its antioxidant properties.

The objective of this study was to investigate the survival and development of porcine cloned embryos vitrified by Cryotop carrier at the zygote, 2- and 4-cell stages. The quality of resultant blastocysts was evaluated according to their total cell number, apoptotic cell rate, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, glutathione (GSH) content and mRNA expression levels of genes related to embryonic development. The survival rates of zygotes, 2- and 4-cell embryos after vitrification did not differ from those of their fresh counterparts. Vitrification still resulted in significantly decreased blastocyst formation rates of these early-stage embryos. Moreover, the total cells, apoptotic rate, ROS and GSH levels in resultant blastocysts were unaffected by vitrification. The mRNA expression levels of PCNA, CPT1, POU5F1 and DNMT3B in the blastocysts derived from vitrified early-stage embryos were significantly higher than those in the fresh blastocysts, but there was no change in expression of CDX2 and DNMT3A genes. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that the early-stage porcine cloned embryos including zygotes, 2- and 4-cells can be successfully vitrified, with respectable blastocyst yield and quality.

As the immature oocytes are submitted to cryopreservation, their surrounding cumulus cells (CCs) will inevitably suffer, which may have some adverse effects on subsequent oocyte maturation and development. So far, little is known about the molecular differences in CCs of immature oocytes after vitrification. The aim of this study therefore was to analyze the protein profile of CCs derived from vitrified porcine immature oocytes following in vitro maturation, using TMT-based quantitative proteomic approach. A total of 5910 proteins were identified, and 88 of them presented significant difference, with 46 up-regulated and 42 down-regulated proteins. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis revealed that cell cycle phase transition, mitotic cell cycle phase transition, positive regulation of cell differentiation and regulation of oogenesis were significantly down-regulated within the biological process. After Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis, some up-regulated proteins were significantly enriched in TGF-beta signaling pathway and 4 pathways related to steroid hormones. Furthermore, 10 selected proteins were quantified and verified by a parallel reaction monitoring technique, indicating a high reliability of the TMT results. In conclusion, vitrification affects protein profile of CCs as well as their biological functions, which will offer a new perspective to understand the reasons for decline in maturation quality of vitrified immature oocytes.

Cryopreservation of immature germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes is a promising strategy in pigs but still results in reduced oocyte quality due to inevitable cryodamages. Recently, there has been more focus on the molecular changes of oocytes after vitrification, but the alteration in the proteome level remains elusive. The aim of this study therefore was to decipher the proteomic characteristics of porcine GV oocytes following vitrification and in vitro maturation (IVM) by using tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative approach and bioinformatics analysis. A total of 4,499 proteins were identified, out of which 153 presented significant difference. There were 94 up-regulated and 59 down-regulated proteins expressed differentially in the vitrified oocytes. Functional classification and enrichment analyses revealed that many of these proteins were involved in metabolism, signal transduction, response to stimulus, immune response, complement, coagulation cascades, and so on. Moreover, a parallel reaction monitoring technique validated the reliability of TMT data through quantitative analysis for 10 candidate proteins. In conclusion, our results provided a novel perspective of proteomics to comprehend the quality change in the vitrified porcine GV oocytes after IVM.
RESUMEN
It is essential to enhance the in vitro maturation (IVM) condition for immature oocytes after cryopreservation, particularly if limited numbers of oocytes collected from specific donors. The objective of this study was to determine if quality of vitrified porcine immature oocytes was enhanced by coculturing with fresh oocytes during IVM. To distinguish fresh versus vitrified oocytes, we used two types of coculture systems: (a) transwell two-chamber coculture; (b) labeling and tracing fresh oocytes with CellTracker™ Green CMFDA during conventional culture. Coculture systems significantly accelerated meiotic progression of vitrified oocytes and significantly increased blastocyst formation rates following parthenogenetic activation and somatic cell nuclear transfer. Reactive oxygen species generation in vitrified oocytes was ameliorated by the coculture conditions, with no significant difference between fresh and vitrified oocytes for intracellular glutathione level. Both coculture systems significantly increased rate of normal mitochondrial distribution in vitrified oocytes, but did not affect fluorescence intensity of mitochondria. The percentage of oocytes with normal endoplasmic reticulum (ER) distribution and ER fluorescence intensity were significantly higher in vitrified oocytes cocultured with fresh oocytes. After 20 hr of IVM, mRNA expression of COX2, HAS2, PTX3, and TNFAIP6 remained significantly higher in cumulus cells derived from vitrified oocytes and coculture systems significantly decreased the expression of these genes. Additionally, coculture methods prevented the reduction of mRNA expression for BMP15, ZAR1, POU5F1, and DNMT3A in vitrified oocytes. In conclusion, oocyte quality and subsequent embryo development of vitrified porcine immature oocytes were significantly improved by fresh oocyte coculture during IVM.

Cryopreservation impairs oocyte quality, which may be associated with abnormal gene expression. Currently, alteration of mRNA levels in vitrified porcine oocytes has not been well characterized. The aim of this study was to analyze transcriptome profiles with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in porcine immature oocytes and their surrounding cumulus cells (CCs) after vitrification and in vitro maturation (IVM). There were 19 upregulated and 18 downregulated genes differentially expressed in vitrified oocytes, with no significant GO enrichment or KEGG pathway identified for these genes. In addition, CCs derived from vitrified oocytes had 40 significantly upregulated and 100 significantly downregulated genes. In total, 7 GO terms were significantly enriched in molecular function and biological process, and only MAPK signaling pathway reached significant enrichment based on KEGG analysis. Moreover, selected differentially expressed genes had similar expression patterns through comparison between results from qRT-PCR and RNA-Seq. In conclusion, our data provided detailed information on mRNA transcriptomes in porcine immature oocytes and CCs after vitrification and IVM, which offered now insights regarding reduced developmental potential of the vitrified oocytes.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of equilibration manners with warming procedures, and the different permeating cryoprotectants (pCPAs) effects under two temperatures, in terms of survival, maturation and subsequent parthenogenetic development of porcine immature oocytes after Cryotop vitrification. In Experiment 1, oocytes were equilibrated by exposure to 5% (v/v) ethylene glycol (EG) for 10 min (EM1) or stepwise to 7.5% (v/v) and 15% (v/v) EG for 2.5 min respectively (EM2). Warming procedures were performed in 1.0 M sucrose for 1 min, then in 0.5 and 0.25 M sucrose for 2.5 min respectively (WP1), or in 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125 M sucrose each step for 2 min (WP2), or in 0.25, 0.125 and 0.063 M sucrose each step for 2 min (WP3). After 2 h of warming, the survival rate of oocytes treated by EM1 and WP1 was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than that of the other groups. Moreover, a similar proportion of survival and nuclear maturation in all vitrified groups was obtained after completion of the IVM. No significant difference in blastocyst development was observed among vitrified groups except the group treated by EM2 and WP3. In Experiment 2, oocytes were vitrified by using EG alone, EG combined with dimethyl sulphoxide (EG + DMSO) or propylene glycol (EG + PROH) as pCPAs under 25 °C and 39 °C. The percentages of cryosurvival and nuclear maturation were similar in all vitrified groups. Under 25 °C, the embryo development and total cell numbers of blastocysts were not significantly different among EG, EG + DMSO and EG + PROH groups. However, the application of EG + PROH at 39 °C resulted in significantly decreased both cleavage and blastocyst formation rates. In conclusion, our data showed that equilibration manner and warming procedure affect the cryosurvival of porcine immature oocytes, and the combination of pCPAs cannot give a better cryopreservation outcome whether 25 °C or 39 °C. Notably, the Cryotop vitrification accompanied by our modified strategy for porcine immature oocytes could achieve high survival and respectable blastocyst production.
