- Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder affecting 8%-13% of women of reproductive age. Although Nigella sativa (NS) has been traditionally used for PCOS management, its molecular mechanisms are not fully characterized. This study employed network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to identify the key targets and pathways associated with NS bioactives. Venn analysis identified 53 common genes shared between NS-derived phytochemicals and PCOS-associated targets. KEGG and Reactome enrichment revealed 15 significantly enriched pathways (p < 0.05), including ovarian steroidogenesis, insulin resistance, androgen signaling, and inflammatory pathways. Five critical PCOS-related proteins (CYP19A1, CYP11A1, AR, ESR1, and HSD17B1) were selected for docking with major NS phytochemicals. Docking revealed strong binding affinities, with thymoquinone showing the highest binding scores of -8.2 kcal/mol (CYP11A1), -7.6 kcal/mol (CYP19A1), and -7.1 kcal/mol (AR). MD simulation-based flexibility analysis showed that the CYP11A1-thymoquinone complex exhibited higher residue mobility, with RMSF values indicating greater flexibility in the ligand-interacting regions compared to other complexes. These findings suggest that NS exerts therapeutic potential in PCOS through multi-target modulation of steroidogenic enzymes and hormonal pathways, providing a molecular foundation for future experimental validation. - Source: PubMed
Abomughaid Mosleh Mohammad - Early pregnancy is a highly coordinated process requiring precise embryo-maternal communication. Estradiol-17β (E2) is considered the primary conceptus-derived signal responsible for the maternal recognition of pregnancy in pigs. Successful pregnancy establishment requires two distinct peaks of E2 secretion by porcine conceptuses: during days 11-12 (the maternal recognition of pregnancy) and days 15-30 (implantation). Although the role of E2 in signaling to the maternal system is well established, its potential autocrine effects on conceptus development remain unclear. This study examined whether E2 regulates trophoblast function during the maternal recognition of pregnancy and implantation. We demonstrated that expression of estrogen receptors (ESR1, ESR2, GPER1) and selected pregnancy-related genes (FOXO3, GDF15, SERPINE1, ESRRB, ESRRG) changes during early pregnancy in the pig. E2 regulated the gene expression of its receptors (ESR1, ESR2, GPER1), genes involved in E2 synthesis (HSD17B1), prostaglandin synthesis (PTGS2, AKR1C4, PTGES), and key mediators of pregnancy establishment (IL1B2, SERPINE1, FOXO3, GDF15, ESRRB and ESRRG). Furthermore, E2, acting via nuclear estrogen receptors, enhanced trophoblast cell proliferation on days 12 and 15 of pregnancy, and increased adhesion as well as MAPK1/3 and PTK2 protein phosphorylation on day 15 of pregnancy. E2 stimulated cell proliferation via MAPK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways, whereas E2-promoted adhesion was mediated via MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling. Concluding, these findings indicate that E2 functions not only as a critical embryonic signal for the maternal recognition of pregnancy but also plays an autocrine role in conceptus development, regulating gene expression and trophoblast cell function during early gestation in pigs. - Source: PubMed

Goryszewska-Szczurek EwelinaWaclawik Agnieszka - The ovarian granulosa cells are responsible for producing hormones and supporting oocytes through maturation and meiotic resumption. There is a need to generate granulosa-like cells (GLCs) from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to better model human gonadal development and to test the effects of exogenous or pharmaceutical compounds on the ovary. Here we report a rapid ligand-based protocol for differentiating hiPSCs into cells that express markers of the transient developmental lineages and steroidogenic pathway genes. Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis identified canonical granulosa cell genes were expressed in a subset of cells and identified new genes of interest that were significantly associated with computationally modeled pseudotime. HSD17B1 was expressed in resulting GLCs but at low levels, suggesting an immature granulosa cell phenotype. The GLCs were produced using a simple culture method that could be augmented for granulosa cell functions such as sustaining oocyte growth. Producing GLCs through protocols such as this one is a first step toward designing large-scale ovarian endocrinology assays and developing personalized cell-based fertility and hormone restoration technologies in the future. This rapid protocol produced cells that express steroidogenic enzyme genes etoc blurb. Kubo and colleagues present a 5-day rapid protocol to generate immature granulosa-like cells from hiPSCs. Cells differentiated with inhibition of DKK1, a WNT signaling target gene, expressed gonadal ridge markers and FOXL2 transcripts and protein. Additionally, steroidogenic enzyme genes were expressed. A small population of differentiated cells were identified as expressing early-stage granulosa cell genes by single-cell RNA-seq. - Source: PubMed

In contrast to teleost species, many aspects of these processes remain poorly understood in basal non-teleost fishes such as the Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii). Genetic sexing of this important aquaculture species now enables studies of undifferentiated males and females to identify factors involved in early sexual differentiation. - Source: PubMed
