Abstract
Conventional cancer management relies on tumor type and stage for diagnosis and treatment, which leads to recurrence and metastasis and death in young women. Early detection of proteins in the serum aids diagnosis, progression, and clinical outcomes, possibly improving survival rate of breast cancer patients. In this review, we provided an insight into the influence of aberrant glycosylation on breast cancer development and progression. Examined literatures revealed that mechanisms underlying glycosylation moieties alteration could enhance early detection, monitoring, and therapeutic efficacy in breast cancer patients. This would serve as a guide for the development of new serum biomarkers with higher sensitivity and specificity, providing possible serological biomarkers for breast cancer diagnosis, progression, and treatment.

Abstract
"Fenghuang Egg" is a special egg product incubated for 12 days by fertilized hen eggs. Its egg white contains high-viscosity and excellent thermal gel strength. A comparative study on the differences in gel properties, structure, and substance composition between fresh egg white (FEW) and "Fenghuang egg" gelatinous egg white (GEW) was carried out. Experimental results showed GEW had better apparent viscosity, as well as the hardness, cohesiveness and water holding capacity (WHC) of thermal gel; the content and size of aggregate structure increased significantly in GEW, and a fibrous dense network composed of numerous spherical nanoparticles connected in series was formed after heating. In addition, it also discovered that more water molecules in GEW existed in the form of bound water. A total of 41 proteins changed significantly in FEW and GEW, Mucin 6 might be the main reason for the enhanced viscosity of GEW, and OVA might be the dominant protein differentiating the thermal gel properties between FEW and GEW. This study revealed that the differences in gel properties and structures between FEW and GEW were closely related to the content of highly glycosylated globular proteins, laying a theoretical foundation for the application of high-viscosity egg whites.

Abstract
To identify the dominant genes controlling follicular maturation, ovulation and regression for pigeon, we used RNA-seq to explore the gene expression profiles of pre- and post-ovulatory follicles of pigeon. We obtained total of 4.73million (96% of the raw data) high-quality clean reads, which could be aligned with 20282 genes. Gene expression profile analysis identified 1461 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the pre- (P4) and post-ovulatory follicles (P5). Of these, 843 genes were upregulated, and 618 genes were down-regulated. Furthermore, many DEGs were significantly enriched in some pathways closely related to follicle maturation, ovulation and regression, such as ECM-receptor interaction, vascular smooth muscle contraction, progesterone-mediated oocyte maturation, phagosome. Importantly, the DGEs in ECM-receptor interaction pathway included COL1A1 , COL1A2 , COL4A1 , COL4A2 , ITGA11 , ITGB3 and SDC3 , in the progesterone-mediated oocyte maturation pathway involved CDK1 , CDC25A , CCNB3 , CDC20 and Plk1 , and in the vascular smooth muscle contraction covered CALD1 , KCNMA1 , KCNMB1 , CACNA1 , ACTA2 , MYH10 , MYL3 , MYL6 , MYL9 , closely related to promoting follicular maturation and ovulation in pre-ovulatory follicles. Moreover, it seems that the lysosomal cathepsin family has a decisive role in the regression of early stage of post-ovulatory follicle. Taken together, these data enrich the research of molecular mechanisms of pigeon follicular activities at the transcriptional level and provide novel insight of breeding-related physiology for birds.

Abstract
This study was to investigate the effects of UPro as a new nutritive fortifier on high-quality egg production from the perspective of egg properties, intestinal histomorphology, and oviduct function of laying hens. Four hundred thirty-two Hy-Line Brown laying hens aged 56 weeks were allocated to four groups. Layers were given a basal diet or supplemented with different levels of small peptides (0.2, 0.4, and 0.8%) to replace soybean meal. After 1-week adaptation period, the feeding trial was conducted for 12 weeks. The results showed that UPro addition significantly decreased (P < 0.05) the hardness, stickiness, and chewiness of albumen of layers on weeks 12. A linear elevation (P < 0.05) in the albumen height, Haugh unit (HU), and crude protein content of albumen of layers were noted on week 12 along with dietary UPro addition increasing, and the villus height (VH) and villus height-to-crypt depth radio (VCR) of jejunum also linearly increasing (P < 0.05). In addition, there were linear elevations (P < 0.05) in the relative mRNA expression of Sec23 homolog A (Sec23A) and protein-O-mannosyltransferase1 (POMT1) in layers as dietary UPro addition increased. In conclusion, dietary UPro addition could improve intestinal health, increase the absorption of nutrients, and improve egg quality of laying hens. The possible mechanism underlying UPro improving the quality and processing characteristics of albumen is up-regulating Sec23A and POMT1 expression of magnum. These findings will promote the application of UPro as a new nutritional additive in the production of high-quality eggs.

Abstract
The present study was carried to investigate dynamic variations in serum amino acid (AA) contents and the relative mRNA abundance of the AA transporters and AA synthesis-related enzymes in liver, ovary and oviduct of pigeons during one egg-laying cycle (ELC). In experiment 1, seventy laying pigeons (American Silver King) were randomly divided into 14 groups by different days of one ELC (DELC) and arranged as a 2 × 7 factorial design, which included 2 ages (6-mo-old or 12-mo-old) and 7 DELCs. For experiment 2, 35 six-mo-old laying pigeons (American Silver King) were randomly divided into 7 groups by different DELCs and immediately treated with a 12-h fasting. Dynamic variations in serum AAs were detected during one ELC, characterized by high levels of Lys, Met, Leu, Phe, Tyr, Asp, Ser, Glu, Ala, and TAA on day 1 (D1) of one ELC (P < 0.05). Fasting caused obvious decreases in serum levels of Leu, Ile, Val, Phe, Tyr, and TAA from day 2 (D2) to day 7 (D7) (P < 0.05). Relative organ weights of ovary and oviduct increased to the peak values on day 13 (D13) (P < 0.05). Serum calcium decreased to the lowest level on day 4 (D4) (P < 0.05) and serum total triglyceride was kept in a high level on D1, D7, day 10 (D10), and D13 (P < 0.05). Relative mRNA expression of the AA synthesis genes and the AA transport genes exhibited different variation patterns in liver, ovary and oviduct, but Pearson correlation test showed the percentage of positive r values with significant differences were much higher in oviduct than those in liver or ovary. In conclusion, dynamic variations of serum AAs during one ELC were positively related with the expression of the AA transport genes and AA synthesis genes in oviduct, suggesting the upregulated serum AAs might be necessary to meet the AAs requirement for egg white formation in pigeon.

Abstract
Background The mechanism of egg formation in the oviduct of laying hens is tightly controlled; each segment of the oviduct contributes a unique component of the egg. Several genes/proteins are involved in the synthesis of a completely healthy egg. This implies a time- and tissue-specific expression of genes and proteins in the different oviductal segments. We used hens at different physiological stages and time points to understand the transcriptional regulation of egg-white (albumen) synthesis and secretion onto the eggs in the magnum of laying hens. This study used Next-Generation Sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) to detect the novel genes and the cognate biological pathways that regulate the major events during the albumen formation. Results Magnum tissues collected from laying (n = 5 each at 3 h post-ovulation, p.o. and 15–20 h p.o.), non-laying (n = 4), and molting (n = 5) hens were used for differential gene expression analyses. A total of 540 genes (152 upregulated and 388 down-regulated) were differentially expressed at 3 h p.o. in the magnum of laying hens. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways analysis of the 152 upregulated genes revealed that glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism was the most-enriched biological pathway. Furthermore, the top two most enriched keywords for the upregulated genes were amino-acid biosynthesis and proteases. Nine candidate genes associated with albumen formation were validated with qPCR to have differential expression in laying, non-laying, and molting hens. Proteases such as TMPRSS9, CAPN2, MMP1, and MMP9 (protein maturation, ECM degradation, and angiogenesis); enzymes such as PSPH, PHGDH, and PSAT1 (amino-acid biosynthesis); RLN3, ACE, and REN (albumen synthesis, secretion and egg transport); and AVD, AvBD11, and GPX3 (antimicrobial and antioxidants) were recognized as essential molecules linked to albumen deposition in the magnum. Conclusions This study revealed some novel genes that participate in the signaling pathways for egg-white synthesis and secretion along with some well-known functional genes. These findings help to understand the mechanisms involved in albumen biosynthesis.
