Omega-3 α-linolenic acid and omega-6 linoleic acid are essential fatty acids for health maintenance of human and animals because they are not synthesized in vivo. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid supplementation on in vitro maturation and developmental potential of porcine oocytes. Various concentrations of α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid were added into in vitro maturation medium, and we evaluated the degree of cumulus expansion, oocyte nuclear-maturation rate, blastocyst rate, blastocyst quality, and levels of prostaglandin E₂, 17β-estradiol, and progesterone in the spent medium. High doses (100 μM) of α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid supplementation significantly inhibited cumulus expansion and oocyte nuclear maturation, and prostaglandin E₂ synthesis also significantly decreased compared with other groups (p < 0.05). Supplementation of 50 μM α-linolenic acid and 10 μM linoleic acid showed higher quality blastocysts in terms of high cell numbers and low apoptosis when compared with other groups (p < 0.05), and synthesis ratio of 17β-estradiol / progesterone also significantly increased compared with control group (3.59 ± 0.22 vs. 2.97 ± 0.22, 3.4 ± 0.28 vs. 2.81 ± 0.19, respectively; p < 0.05). Our results indicated that supplementation with appropriate levels of α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid beneficially affects the change of hormone synthesis (in particular, an appropriate increase in the 17β-estradiol / progesterone synthesis ratio) for controlling oocyte maturation, leading to improved embryo quality. However, high doses of α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid treatment results in detrimental effects.

The present study was conducted to investigate the regulatory mechanism of plasminogen activators (PAs) activation by $17{\beta}$-estradiol ($E_2$) and progesterone ($P_4$) in porcine uterine epithelial cells (pUECs). pUECs were collected from porcine uterine horn and cultured at 80% confluence. Then, 0.1% (v/v) DMSO, 20 ng/mL $E_2$, and $P_4$ with or without fetal bovine serum (FBS) treated to cultured cells for 24 hours. The supernatants were used for measurement of PAs activity and expression of urokinase-type PA (uPA), tissue-type PA (tPA), uPA specific receptor (uPAR), and type-1 PA inhibitor (PAI-1) mRNA were analyzed by real-time PCR. The expression of PAs-related genes was not affect by steroid hormones in both of serum treatment groups. However, PAs activity was increased by treatment of $E_2$ compared to 0.1% DMSO treatment in serum-free group (p<0.05). Then, $E_2$ and $P_4$ were diluted with 0.002% (v/v) DMSO for reduction of its effect and treated to cultured cells without FBS. Only tPA mRNA was significantly increased by $E_2$ treatment (p<0.05). PAs activity was enhanced in $E_2$ treated group compared to control groups (p<0.05). These results indicate that serum-free condition is more proper to evaluate effect of steroid hormones and activation of PAs in pUECs was mainly regulated by estrogen. These regulation of PAs activation may be associated with uterine remodeling during pre-ovulatory phase in pigs, however, further studies are needed to investigate precise regulatory mechanism.

본 연구는 한우 난포발달에 있어서 난포액 및 inhibin의 생리적 역할을 검토하기 위해 수행하였다. Anti-inhibin serum(AIS) 생산을 위해 사용된 항원은 porcine inhibin-$\alpha$-subunit 19~32의 peptide를 사용하여 adjuvant 용액을 1:3의 비율로 혼합하여 앙고라종 토끼 5두(체중 2.5kg)에게 주 2회 간격으로 8회 실시후 ELISA Leader로 항혈청의 역가를 확인하였다. 난포액(bFF; bovine follicular fluid)은 도축장에서 도축되는 한우 난소로부터 직경 1.0cm 이하의 난포로부터 회수하여 스테로이드를 제거하기 위해 10% chacoal solution(50 mg/$m\ell$, Norrit-A, Fisher Sci., USA)을 처리하여 45분간 배양후 원심분리후 상층액을 회수하여 실험에 공시하였다. 과립막세포의 체외배양을 위해 D-MEM용액(10% FCS와 antibiotics를 첨가)을 배양액으로 하여 1 $\times$ $10^{6}$ cells/$m\ell$로 조절하였다. 호르몬은 RIA 및 ELISA법으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 항원-항체반응은 항원처리후 24일째부터 항체가를 확인할 수 있었으며 52일째에서 높은 항원-항체반응을 보였다. 한편, 난포크기별 난포액의 progesterone 및 Estradiol-l7$\beta$을 농도를 분석한 결과, Progesterone 난포크기가 직경 1.0 cm부터 유의적으로 증가하기 시작하여 직경 2.0cm의 난포액에서는 높은 progesterone이 존재하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 반해, 난포크기별 난포액중 estradiol 17$\beta$농도는 직경 1.0cm구에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 난포직경이 1cm일 경우에 난포액내 etradiol-17$\beta$가 가장 많이 존재하고 있음이 나타났다. 과립막세포의 체외배양에서 배양 24시간에서는 과립막세포의 progesterone분비는 약 40ng/1$\times$$10^{6}$ cell/well/$m\ell$ 전후로 나타났으며 bFF 5%, AI 5% 및 bFF＋AI 첨가구에 따라 유의적인 차이는 없었다 반면에 48시간배양구에서는 24시간에 비해 유의적으로 높게 분비되었으며, bFF 5%처리구와 bFF5%＋AI5%처리구에서는 progesterone을 대조구보다 유의적으로 억제되었으나 AI 5%단독처리구에서는 대조구와 큰 차이가 없었다. 한편, 각 세포질을 SDS-PAGE로 분리하여 nitro cellulose membrane에 transfer하여 Western blotting법에 의해 검토한 결과, 직경 1.0 cm의 성숙난포의 granulosa cell에 특이하게 Inhibin이 존재하고 있음이 확인되었다. 이상의 결과로, 한우에 있어서 성숙난포에 존재하는 Inhibin은 난포발달 및 난포세포의 스테로이드호르몬합성에 중요하게 관여하고 있는 것으로 사료된다.

Ginseng is a medicinal herb widely used in Asian countries, and its pharmacological effects has been demonstrated in various systems such as cardiovascular, central nervous, and endocrine systems. Its effects are mainly attributed to the ginsenosides. We hypothesize that a component of Panax ginseng, ginsenoside-Rbl, acts by binding to estrogen receptor. We have investigated the estrogenic activity of ginsenoside-Rbl in a transient transfection system using estrogen receptors ${\alpha}$ or ${\beta}$ with estrogen -responsive luciferase plasmids in COS monkey kidney cells. Ginsenoside-Rbl activated both estrogen receptors ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ in a dose-dependent manner (0.5 -100 M ). Activation was inhibited by the specific estrogen receptor antagonist ICI 182,780, indicating that the estrogenic effect of ginsenoside-Rbl is estrogen receptor dependent. Next, we evaluated the ability of ginsenoside-Rbl to induce estrogen-responsive progesterone receptor gene by semi-quantitative RT-PCR assays. MCF-7 cells treated with l7${\beta}$-estradiol or ginsenoside- Rb1 exhibited an increased expression of progesterone receptor mRNA. However, ginsenoside-Rbl failed to displace the specific binding of ［3H］17${\beta}$-estradiol to estrogen receptor in MCF-7 cells as examined by whole cell ligand binding assays, suggesting that there is no direct interaction of ginsenoside-Rbl with estrogen receptor. Our results indicate that estrogen-like activity of ginsenoside-Rbl is independent of direct estrogen receptor association.

This study was desinged to investigate the effect of estrogen(Est) on the proliferating of progesterone(Prog) target cells. The spayed 13 rats(Wistar, approximately 300gm) were randomly alloted into 3 groups. One group was the control group and another Prog-treated group was injected with 1mg of Prog/rat/day for 2 consecutive days, and Estand Prog-treated group was injected intramuscularly with $17{\beta}$-estradiol $20{\mu}g/rat/day$ for 3 consecutive days and then with Prog for 2 days as above from 4th day. Rats were administrated intraperitoneally with bromodeoxyuridinc(Brdur,0.2mg/BW once) befero 2 hours of exanguination. In gross finding, the groups with more level of dimension and weight on the uterus were ordered as Est- and Prog-treated group, Prog-treated group and control group. The investigation by immunohistochemical methods using paraffin sections of the uteri was performed by using anti-Brdur antibody for labeling proliferating cells of Prog target cells. The groups with higher labeling index(LI) were ordered as Prog-treated grop, Est- and Prog- treated group and control group. The number of proliferating cells from Prog target cells in the rats were rather deceased by Prog injection following Est injection than prog injection only. The cell types with higher LI in the wall layers of all 3 groups were ordered as endometrial stromal cells, glandular epithelial cells, luminal epithelial cells, myometrial muscle cells and serosa methodelial cells, and the region with highest LI was functional zone of the endometrium and the region with lower LI was muscular layer and then those with lowest LI was serosa and also the considerable different LI from individual rat were observed.

The present investigation has been undertaken to understand the mechanism of implantation process, by demonstrating the role of ovarian steroids in connection with phosphatase activity in the differentiation of uterine endometrium for implantation. The results obtained are as followings: The differentiation of the uterine endometrial tissue was closely influenced by the ovarian steroid hormones; at first, 17${\beta}$-estradiol initiated the differentiation of the uterine luminal and glandular epithelial cells, and then progesterone induced differentiation of stromal cells, and thereby two steroids maintain decidualization of the uterine tissues. We observed that the phosphatase activities seem to be dependent upon the ovarian steroids; that is the activity showed higher level in progesterone treated group than in estradiol treated one, and the highest activity was found in the group treated with both estradiol and progesterone. Acid phosphatase showed the highest activity whereas alkaline phosphatase showed the lowest in the rat uterine endometrium during early pregnancy.
