Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is characterized by hypertension, proteinuria, and fetal growth restriction during pregnancy, suggesting that the preeclamptic intrauterine environment may affect the growth and health of the offspring. This study aimed to how maternal hypertension affects male offspring growth, focusing on lipid metabolism and blood pressure in mice. Female mice were infused with angiotensin II (Ang II) on gestational day 12. Dysregulation and accumulation of lipid were observed in the placenta of Ang II-induced maternal hypertensive dams, associating with fetal growth restriction. Ang II-offspring showed lower birth weight than in the control-offspring. Isolated and differentiated adipocyte from neonatal mice of Ang II-dams showed higher Pparγ mRNA expression compared with the control group. Lower body weight tendency had continued in Ang II-offspring during long period, body weight of Ang II-offspring caught up the control-offspring at 16 weeks of age. The adipose tissue of Ang II-offspring in adult also showed higher Pparγ mRNA expression with the accumulation of neutrophils and inflammatory monocytes than in those control. In addition, Ang II-offspring had higher basal blood pressure and higher sensitivity to hypertensive stimuli than in the control-offspring. Taken together, maternal hypertension induced by Ang II changes placental function, causing a lower birth weight. These changes in the intrauterine environment may affect adipocyte function and blood pressure of offspring after growth.

Abstract
In this study, we examined the effects of paternal aging on the mitochondrial DNA copy number (mt-cn), telomere length (TL), and gene expression in mouse embryos. The effects of vitrification on the mt-cn and TL of the embryos derived from young and aged male parents (YF and AF, respectively) were examined. C57BL/6N male mice were used for embryo production at 13-23 and 50-55 weeks of age. Two-cell stage embryos were collected from the oviducts of superovulated female mice (8-15 weeks old) and cultured for 24 h until the 8-cell stage, followed by embryo vitrification. Fresh and vitrified-warmed embryos were incubated for 2 days until the blastocyst stage, and mt-cn and TL were investigated. The cell-free mitochondrial DNA copy number (cf-mt-cn) in the spent culture medium (SCM) of the embryos was then investigated. RNA sequencing of blastocysts revealed that metabolic pathways, including oxidative phosphorylation and mTOR pathways, were enriched in differentially expressed genes. The mt-cn and TL of AF-derived blastocysts were lower and shorter, respectively, than those of YF-derived blastocysts. Paternal aging did not affect the blastocyst rate after vitrification. Vitrification of the 8-cell stage embryos did not affect the mt-cn of the blastocysts. However, it increased the cf-mt-cn (cell-free mt-cn) in the SCM of both YF- and AF-derived embryos. Vitrification did not affect the TL of either YF- or AF-derived embryos. Thus, paternal aging affected the mt-cn and TL of the embryos, but vitrification did not affect these parameters in either age groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary analysis of the multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase II DESTINY-Breast01 trial (median follow-up 11.1 months) demonstrated durable antitumor activity with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) previously treated with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1). We report updated cumulative survival outcomes with a median follow-up of 26.5 months (data cut-off 26 March 2021). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with HER2-positive mBC resistant or refractory to T-DM1 received T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable adverse events, or withdrawal of consent. The primary endpoint was confirmed objective response rate (ORR) by independent central review (ICR). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. RESULTS The ORR by ICR was 62.0% [95% confidence interval (CI) 54.5% to 69.0%] in patients who received T-DXd 5.4 mg/kg every 3 weeks (n = 184). Median OS was 29.1 months (95% CI 24.6-36.1 months). Median PFS and DoR were 19.4 months (95% CI 14.1-25.0 months) and 18.2 months (95% CI 15.0 months-not evaluable), respectively. Drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were observed in 183 patients (99.5%), and 99 patients (53.8%) had one or more grade ≥3 TEAEs. Adjudicated drug-related interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis occurred in 15.8% of patients (n = 29), of which 2.7% (n = 5) were grade 5. CONCLUSIONS These updated results provide further evidence of sustained antitumor activity of T-DXd with a consistent safety profile in heavily pretreated patients with HER2-positive mBC.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious complication, and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase (sFLT1) released from the placenta is one of the causes of PE pathology. Trophoblasts are the primary source of sFLT1; however, monocytes/macrophages exist enough in the placenta can also secrete sFLT1. Sterile inflammatory responses, especially NLRP3 inflammasome and its downstream gasdermin D (GSDMD)-regulated pyroptosis, may be involved in the development of PE pathology. In this study, we investigated whether human monocyte/macrophage cell line THP-1 cells secrete sFLT1 depending on the NLRP3 inflammasome and GSDMD. To differentiate THP-1 monocytes into macrophages, treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) induced sFLT1 with interleukin (IL)- 1β, but did not induce cell lytic death. IL-1β secretion induced by PMA inhibited by deletion of NLRP3 and inhibitors of NLRP3 and caspase-1, but deletion of NLRP3 and these inhibitors did not affect sFLT1 secretion in THP-1 cells. Both gene deletion and inhibition of GSDMD dramatically decreased IL-1β and sFLT1 secretion from THP-1 cells. Treatment with CA074-ME (a cathepsin B inhibitor) also reduced the secretion of both sFLT1 and IL-1β in THP-1 cells. In conclusion, THP-1 macrophages release sFLT1 in a GSDMD-dependent manner, but not in the NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent manner, and this sFLT1 release may be associated with the non-lytic role of GSDMD. In addition, sFLT1 levels induced by PMA are associated with lysosomal cathepsin B in THP-1 macrophages. We suggest that sFLT1 synthesis regulated by GSDMD are involved in the pathology of PE.

Abstract
Purpose Oocyte and embryo quality differs significantly among individuals. Follicular fluid (FF) is a solo environment of oocyte maturation and may flux into the oviduct. Supplementation of in vitro maturation (IVM) and culture (IVC) medium with extracellular vesicles of FFs supports oocyte maturation and embryonic development. We addressed a hypothesis that miRNA profiles in FFs are crucial background of oocyte maturation and embryonic development. Methods FFs were collected from the ovaries of individual cows, and the FFs were classified into Good or Poor FF based on the developmental rate to the blastocyst stage of enclosed oocytes. miRNAs associated with the Good FFs were explored using small RNA sequencing. In addition, FFs were classified using the concentration of Good-FF-associated miRNAs. These classified FFs or miRNA were added to the IVM or IVC mediums. Results Supplementation of IVM and IVC medium with Good FF improved embryonic development. Good FFs contained miR-151-3p and miR-425-5p at a high concentration compared with those in Poor FFs. FFs selected by the concentration of miR-151-3p and miR-425-5p improved oocyte maturation and embryonic development. Supplementation of IVM or IVC medium with either miR-151-3p or miR-425-5p improved embryonic development to the blastocyst stage. Conclusion miRNAs were associated with the Good FFs determined oocyte maturation and embryonic development.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The purpose of this analysis was to report subset analysis as to progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of particle-beam radiation therapy for operable early-stage lung cancer. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients of early-stage lung cancer (T1-T2aN0) who were eligible for radical surgery but did not wish to undergo surgery were treated by proton-ion (PT) or carbon-ion (CT) radiation therapy and enrolled in Japanese prospective registry. In this analysis, PFS and OS by clinical stage, tumor location, pathological confirmation and particle-ion type were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 274 patients were enrolled and included in efficacy and safety analyses. Most tumors were adenocarcinoma (44%), and 105 (38%) were not histologically confirmed and diagnosed clinically. 250 (91%) of 274 patients had tumors that were peripherally situated. 138 (50%) and 136 (50%) patients were treated by PT and CT, respectively. The median follow-up time for all censored patients was 42.8 months (IQR 36.7 - 49.0). No grade 3 or severe treatment-related toxicity was observed. 3-year PFS was 81% (95% CI;76-86) and OS was 93% (95% CI;89-96), respectively. As to particle-ion type, 3-year PFS were 79.0% and 81.9% in PT and CT (p = 0.19), and 3-year OS were 93.9% and 91.1% in PT and CT (P = 0.72), respectively. For PFS, pathological confirmation, clinical stage was significant factors but there were no significant differences by tumor location or particle-ion type; for OS, clinical stage was significant factor but there was no significant difference on pathological confirmation, tumor location or particle-ion type (Table1). Table 1. 3-year PFS and OS CONCLUSION: Particle therapy for operable early-stage lung cancer resulted in excellent 3-year OS and PFS on each subset.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate computed tomography (CT) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) findings of invasive non-mucinous adenocarcinoma (INMA) of the lung as a predictor of histological tumour grade according to 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) classification. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included consecutive patients with surgically resected INMA who underwent both preoperative CT and 18F-FDG-PET/CT. A three-tiered tumour grade was performed based on the fifth edition of the WHO classification of lung tumours. CT imaging features and the maximum standardised uptake value (SUVmax) were compared among the three tumour grades. RESULTS In total, 214 patients with INMA (median age 70 years; interquartile range 65-76 years; 123 men) were histologically categorised: 36 (17%) as grade 1, 102 (48%) as grade 2 and 76 (35%) as grade 3. Pure solid appearance was more frequent in grade 3 (83%) than in grades 1 (0%) and 2 (26%) (P < 0.001). The SUVmax of the entire tumour was higher in grade 3 than in grades 1 and 2 (P < 0.001). Multivariable analysis revealed that pure solid appearance (odds ratio = 94.0; P < 0.001), round/oval shape (odds ratio = 4.01; P = 0.001), spiculation (odds ratio = 2.13; P = 0.04), air bronchogram (odds ratio = 0.40; P = 0.03) and SUVmax (odds ratio = 1.45; P < 0.001) were significant predictors for grade 3 INMAs. CONCLUSION Pure solid appearance, round/oval shape, spiculation, absence of air bronchogram and high SUVmax were associated with grade 3 INMAs. CT and 18F-FDG-PET/CT were potentially useful non-invasive imaging methods to predict the histological grade of INMAs.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Towards hypofractionated proton therapy for prostate cancer for improving convenience for patients to receive treatment and improving therapeutic efficacy, image-guided technique with hydrogel spacer solved the late gastrointestinal toxicity, but it is unclear whether acute genitourinary (GU) toxicity is acceptable. The aim of this phase II study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hypofractionated image-guided proton therapy (IGPT) with 12 fractions for prostate cancer. MATERIALS/METHODS Eligibility criteria were as follows: (1) histologically confirmed primary prostate cancer; (2) T1-T3bN0M0 staged by (UICC TNM8th); (3) ECOG-PS ≤ 2; (4) age ≥ 20 years; (5) no serious underlying disease or other cancers; (6) technically capable of proton therapy, and (7) written informed consent. Primary endpoint was the ratio of grade 2 or more acute genitourinary toxicity. We used the modified CTCAE grading of grade 2 GU toxicities, in which prescribing two and more types of drugs for dysuria within 3 months of the start of radiation was considered to indicate grade 2 GU toxicity. A phase II trial was planned based on the minimax Simon's two-stage design with a significance level of 0.05 and a power of 90%. The acceptable incidence is considered to be less than 5%, and the unacceptable incidence is considered to be more than 15%. A total of 83 patients is required for completion of the trial (7 patients or fewer). After evaluating the primary endpoint in 83 patients, 217 additional patients were registered and a total of 300 patients were registered in order to further examine the safety and efficacy. The prescribed dose to the isocenter was 51.6 GyRBE in 12 fractions (4 days a week). RESULTS From January 2020 to March 2021, 30, 53, and 217 patients (total 300) were enrolled. The patient characteristics were as follows: median age, 70 (48-83) years; low/intermediate/high risk, 44/132/124. Forty-nine and 38 patients had benign prostatic hyperplasia and diabetes mellitus, respectively. Grade 2 acute GU toxicities were observed in 1, 5 and 13 patients, respectively (total 6.3%). No grade 3 or higher acute GU toxicities were observed. However, urinary retention during IGPT, which was not previously observed, was observed in 3 cases, and temporary urethral catheterization was performed (Grade 2). Most of the acute GU toxicity tended to improve at 1 month after IGPT, and almost improved at 3 months. Mean score deteriorations beyond the minimum clinically important difference threshold (1/2 SD) were observed only at 1 month in the following scales: summary (-6.0), bother (-7.0), and irritative/obstructive (-6.3). CONCLUSION Hypofractionated IGPT with 12 fractions for prostate cancer is well tolerated in acute GU toxicities. Longer follow-up is necessary to evaluate the efficacy and late toxicities. Further investigation of hypofractionated IGPT with 12 fractions for prostate cancer is warranted. Since April 2021, an additional 1000 cases of prospective registration study have been conducted.

Abstract
The present study investigated the effects of low ethanol exposure on bovine oocytes. Cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were aspirated for the antral follicles of slaughterhouse-derived ovaries. These COCs were incubated in maturation medium containing 0, 0.1, and 0.2% ethanol for 21 h and subjected to fertilization and in vitro development, and then the rates of nuclear maturation, mitochondrial DNA copy number (Mt-cn) and protein (TOMM40), ATP content and lipid content in oocyte, fertilization, and blastulation were examined. Furthermore, COCs were incubated with 0 or 0.1% ethanol and then mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and the glucose consumption of COCs was determined. In addition, gene expression in oocytes was examined by RNA sequencing. Ethanol (0.1 and 0.2%) increased Mt-cn and Mt-protein levels whereas 0.2% ethanol increased the blastulation rate and ATP content in oocytes and decreased lipid content in oocytes. Ethanol (0.1%) increased MMP in oocytes and decreased glucose consumption of COCs. Eight stage embryos derived from 0.1% ethanol treated oocytes had higher levels of trimethyl-H3K9 compared with that of nontreated counterpart. RNA sequencing revealed that differentially expressed genes were associated with glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, carbon metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and fatty acid degradation pathways. In conclusion, even 0.1% concentrations of ethanol during in vitro maturation considerably affects oocyte metabolism and histone configuration of embryos.

Abstract
Vitrification is an important assisted reproductive technology, although it induces mitochondrial dysfunction in embryos. Herein, we aimed to investigate whether age-associated accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in oocytes impairs the recovery of embryos from cryopreservation-induced mitochondrial dysfunction/damage. Mouse eight-cell stage embryos developed in vitro were vitrified and warmed and incubated up to the blastocyst stage. AGE levels in oocytes were higher in both aged mice and AGE accumulation mouse models (MGO-mice) than those in young and control mice. In addition, the level of SIRT1 upregulation was lower for embryos of aged and MGO-mice than that for embryos of young and control mice. The highest mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content was detected in blastocysts derived from vitrified embryos of aged and MGO-mice. The spent culture medium of blastocysts derived from both aged and MGO-mice contained higher mtDNA content than that of the blastocysts derived from young and control mice. EX527 increased mtDNA content in the spent culture medium of vitrified embryos derived from young mice. In addition, p62 aggregate levels were higher in vitrified embryos of control mice than those in vitrified embryos of MGO-mice. The SIRT1 activator, resveratrol, increased p62 aggregation levels in vitrified embryos derived from young and aged mice, whereas vitrification did not affect p62 aggregation levels in embryos from aged mice. Therefore, age-associated AGE accumulation induces decreased responsive SIRT1 upregulation following vitrified-warmed treatment and impairs mitochondrial quality control activity in vitrified embryos.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the DESTINY-Breast03 clinical trial, trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) showed superior progression-free survival and overall survival versus trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) and manageable safety in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer. Here, patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are reported along with hospitalization data. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients in DESTINY-Breast03 were assessed for prespecified PRO measures, including European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life (EORTC-QoL) questionnaires [the oncology-specific EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and breast cancer-specific EORTC QLQ-BR45] and the generic EuroQol 5-dimension 5-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) visual analogue scale. Analyses included change from baseline, time to definitive deterioration (TDD), and hospitalization-related endpoints. RESULTS EORTC QLQ-C30 baseline global health status (GHS) scores for T-DXd (n = 253) and T-DM1 (n = 260) were similar, with no clinically meaningful change (<10-point change from baseline) while on either treatment (median treatment duration: T-DXd, 14.3 months; T-DM1, 6.9 months). TDD analyses of QLQ-C30 GHS (primary PRO variable) and all other prespecified PROs (QLQ-C30 subscales, the QLQ-BR45 arm symptoms scale, and the EQ-5D-5L visual analogue scale) suggested T-DXd was numerically favored over T-DM1 based on TDD hazard ratios. Of all randomized patients, 18 (6.9%) receiving T-DXd versus 19 (7.2%) receiving T-DM1 were hospitalized, and the median time to first hospitalization was 219.5 versus 60.0 days, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In DESTINY-Breast03, EORTC GHS/QoL was maintained on both therapies throughout treatment, indicating that despite the longer treatment duration with T-DXd versus T-DM1, health-related QoL did not worsen on T-DXd. Furthermore, TDD hazard ratios numerically favored T-DXd over T-DM1 in all prespecified variables of interest including pain, suggesting T-DXd may delay time until health-related QoL deterioration compared with T-DM1. Median time to first hospitalization was three times longer with T-DXd versus T-DM1. Together with reported improved efficacy and manageable toxicity, these results support the overall benefit of T-DXd for patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer.

Abstract
To investigate possible causes of reproductive failure, we conducted global endometrial gene expression analyses in fertile and subfertile cows. Ingenuity pathway analysis showed that RICTOR and SIRT3 are significant upstream regulators for highly expressed genes in fertile cows, and are predicted to be activated upstream regulators of normal mitochondrial respiration. Canonical pathway analysis revealed that these highly expressed genes are involved in the activation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Therefore, in subfertile cows, the inactivation of RICTOR and SIRT3 may correlate with decreased capacity of mitochondrial respiration. Furthermore, the expression levels of most mitochondrial DNA genes and nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial proteins were higher in subfertile cows. The mitochondrial DNA copy number was significantly higher in the endometrium of subfertile cows, whereas the ATP content did not differ between fertile and subfertile cows. Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR analysis demonstrated that the expression of PGC1a, TFAM, MFN1, FIS1, and BCL2L13 were significantly lower in subfertile cows. In addition, transmission electron microscopy images showed mitochondrial swelling in the endometrial cells of the subfertile cow. These results suggest that poor-quality mitochondria accumulate in the endometrium owing to a reduced capacity for mitochondrial biogenesis, fusion, fission, and degradation in subfertile cows, and may contribute to infertility.

Abstract
The present study examined the effect of polysaccharides gels made of xanthan gum and locust bean gum (gel culture system) on oocyte maturation and explored the molecules causing the beneficial effect of the gel culture system. Oocytes and cumulus cells complexes were collected from slaughterhouse-derived ovaries and cultured on a plastic plate or gel. The gel culture system improved the rate of development to the blastocyst stage. The oocytes that matured on the gel contained high lipid contents and F-actin formation, and the resultant 8-cell stage embryos had low DNA methylation levels compared to their plate counterparts. RNA sequencing of the oocytes and embryos revealed the differentially expressed genes between the gel and plate culture systems, and upstream regulator analysis revealed estradiol and TGFB1 as top activated upstream molecules. The medium of the gel culture system contained higher concentrations of estradiol and TGFB1 than that of the plate cultures system. Supplementation of the maturation medium with either estradiol or TGFB1 resulted in high lipid content in oocytes. In addition, TGFB1 improved the developmental ability of the oocytes and increased F-actin content while reducing DNA methylation levels in the 8-cell stage embryos. In conclusion, the gel culture system is useful for embryo production, potentially through the upregulation of TGFB1.

Abstract
The developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) hypothesis is that future lifestyle diseases in offspring are associated with intrauterine origins in the mother; stress during pregnancy is a risk factor for these diseases in offspring. This study aimed to clarify association of maternal stress with placental dysfunction and offspring development in mice. We applied water stress for 24 h during late pregnancy to explore the metabolic response of offspring to a normal diet (ND) and high-fat diet (HFD). Placental functions were altered by maternal stress, reducing the birth weight of the offspring. In the later life of offspring fed with ND, maternal stress impaired systemic glucose tolerance and altered adipokine secretion in adipose tissue and/or liver. The female offspring of stress-induced dams were light in body weight with lower adipose tissue and smaller adipocytes in both the ND and HFD groups. Abnormal situations, such as dysregulation of plasma glucose levels and fatty liver despite and lower increases in body weight, were observed in the female offspring of stress-induced dams, especially in the HFD-treated group. These findings suggest that long-lasting abnormal conditions and responses to metabolic challenges in maternal stress-induced offspring are linked to placental dysregulation and fetal programming.

Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number and telomere length (TL) in blastocysts derived from the same male mice at young (10-19-week-old) and aged (40-49-week-old) time points and mtDNA and TL in the hearts of offspring derived from young and aged male mice were examined. Paternal aging correlated with reduced mtDNA and TL in blastocysts. mtDNA and TL were significantly correlated, which was also observed in bovine blastocysts. Moreover, mtDNA in the heart of offspring was reduced in male mice with paternal aging. In conclusion, paternal aging affects embryonic mtDNA and TL, potentially impacting their offspring.

Abstract
Introduction This pooled analysis of nine phase I and II trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) monotherapy studies described drug-related interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis in patients treated with T-DXd. Methods Patients who received T-DXd across nine studies were included. Investigator-assessed ILD/pneumonitis events were retrospectively reviewed by an independent adjudication committee; events adjudicated as drug-related ILD/pneumonitis are summarized. Results The analysis included 1150 patients (breast cancer, 44.3%; gastric cancer, 25.6%; lung cancer, 17.7%; colorectal cancer, 9.3%; other cancer, 3.0%). Median treatment duration was 5.8 (range, 0.7-56.3) months, with a median of 4 (range, 1-27) prior lines of therapy. The overall incidence of adjudicated drug-related ILD/pneumonitis was 15.4% (grade 5, 2.2%). Most patients with ILD/pneumonitis experienced low-grade events (grade 1 or 2, 77.4%); 87.0% had their first event within 12 months [median, 5.4 (range, <0.1-46.8) months] of their first dose of T-DXd. Based on data review, adjudicated ILD/pneumonitis onset occurred earlier than identified by investigators for 53.2% of events [median difference in onset date, 43 (range, 1-499) days]. Stepwise Cox regression identified several baseline factors potentially associated with increased risk of adjudicated drug-related ILD/pneumonitis: age <65 years, enrollment in Japan, T-DXd dose >6.4 mg/kg, oxygen saturation <95%, moderate/severe renal impairment, presence of lung comorbidities, and time since initial diagnosis >4 years. Conclusions In this pooled analysis of heavily treated patients, the incidence of ILD/pneumonitis was 15.4%, with most being low grade and occurring in the first 12 months of treatment. The benefit–risk of T-DXd treatment is positive; however, some patients may be at increased risk of developing ILD/pneumonitis, and further investigation is needed to confirm ILD/pneumonitis risk factors. Close monitoring and proactive management of ILD/pneumonitis are warranted for all. Interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis is a significant adverse event related to trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd). This pooled analysis of nine T-DXd monotherapy studies evaluated ILD/pneumonitis risk in 1150 heavily pretreated patients. Overall incidence of adjudicated T-DXd-related ILD/pneumonitis was 15.4% (grade 1 or 2, 77.4%; grade 5, 2.2%). Within 12 months of their first T-DXd dose, 87.0% of patients had their first event [median, 5.4 (range, <0.1-46.8) months]. Proactive monitoring and prompt diagnosis and management are important to improving ILD/pneumonitis event outcomes.

Abstract
Embryo-maternal reproductive tract interactions are pivotal for successful pregnancy. The present study predicted the molecules modulating embryo-uterine communication by comparing two sets
of differentially expressed genes (DEGs): DEGs in uterine epithelial cells (UECs) collected from the uterus with and without blastocysts and DEGs between blastocysts developed in
vivo and in vitro. Cows were subjected to super ovulation (SOV), followed by insemination or non-insemination at estrus (SOV + AI and SOV cows). Seven days after
estrus, the uterus was flushed to collect UECs, and the presence of blastocysts in the uterus was confirmed. UECs were subjected to RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) to identify DEGs. Publicly
available RNA-Seq data of in vivo and in vitro developed bovine blastocysts were used to determine DEGs. Then, using ingenuity pathway analysis, activated-
and inhibited-upstream regulators (USRs) for UECs in blastocysts were compared with those for blastocysts developed in vivo. RNA-Seq of UECs revealed that the DEGs were
associated with immune response and cell adhesion pathways. The activated and inhibited USRs of UECs derived from SOV+ AI cows overlapped with the activated and inhibited USRs of blastocysts
developed in vivo. Overlapping activated USRs include leukemia inhibitory factor, interleukin 6, fibroblast growth factor-2, transforming growth factor beta-1, and epidermal
growth factor. In conclusion, the present study predicted the molecules that potentially mediate communication between the developing embryo and the uterus in vivo and
prepare the uterus for pregnancy.

Abstract
This study identified microRNAs (miRNAs) in bovine oviductal fluids (OFs) and examined the effect of miR-17-5p in OFs on embryonic development to the blastocyst stage. Small RNA-seq of extracellular vesicles of OFs revealed 242 miRNAs. Additionally, analyzing expressions of randomly selected OF-miRNAs with RT-qPCR in the culture medium of oviductal epithelial cells indicated that the abundance of miRNAs in OFs increased during the luteal phase. miR-17-5p mimic-treated eight-cell-stage zona pellucida-free embryos showed improved embryonic development to the blastocyst stage. The effect of the miR-17-5p mimic was confirmed using a dual-luciferase assay and immunostaining. In addition, RNA-seq of the miR-17-5p mimic- or control-treated embryos revealed differentially expressed genes (DEGs), suggesting possible pathways that overlapped with the in silico-predicted pathways for miR-17-5p targeting genes. Furthermore, ingenuity pathway analysis of DEG predicted miR-17 to be a significant upstream regulator. Our results suggest that miR-17-5p in OFs regulates embryonic development in bovines.

Abstract
PROBLEM Systemic inflammation induced by infection, which is associated with testicular inflammation, predisposes males to subfertility. Recently, the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat-, and pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome was identified as a key mediator of inflammation, and excessive activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome was shown to contribute to the pathogenesis of a wide variety of diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying infectious inflammation in the testis remain unclear. We investigated the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced systemic inflammation on the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in murine testes. METHOD OF STUDY We performed in vivo and in vitro studies using an LPS-induced model of NLRP3 inflammasome activation and testicular inflammation. RESULTS Intraperitoneal administration of LPS significantly impaired sperm motility in the epididymis of wild type (WT) and NLRP3-knockout (KO) mice. LPS administration stimulated interleukin (IL)-1β production and secretion in the testes of WT mice, and these adverse effects were improved in the testes of NLRP3-KO mice. LPS administration also stimulated neutrophil infiltration as well as its chemoattractant C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) in WT testes, which were suppressed in NLRP3-KO testes. In in vitro cell culture, treatment with LPS and NLRP3 inflammasome activation significantly induced IL-1β and CCL2 secretion from WT but not NLRP3-KO testicular cells. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, our results suggest that testicular cells have the potential to secrete IL-1β and CCL2 in an NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent manner and that these cytokines from the testis may further exacerbate testicular function, resulting in subfertility during infectious diseases.

Abstract
The immune system contributes to the regulation of pregnancy, and the disruption of well-controlled immune functions leads to pregnancy complications. Recently, the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat-, and pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome mechanisms [(a protein complex of NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC), and caspase-1)] have been reported to play roles in controlling placental inflammation involved in pregnancy pathologies. The ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) can suppress NLRP3 inflammasome activation and improve various inflammatory diseases. Therefore, we hypothesized that BHB could suppress activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in the placenta, resulting in the improvement of pregnancy complications. In human placental tissue culture, treatment with BHB suppressed the secretion levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, but did not affect the mRNA expression levels of NLRP3 inflammasome-associated factors. Treatment with BHB reduced IL-1β secretion and the amount of mature IL-1β protein induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation in the placenta. In human trophoblast cells, BHB reduced ASC and activated-caspase-1 expression, resulting in the inhibition of IL-1β secretion. To investigate the effect of BHB during pregnancy, we used an animal model of LPS (100 μg/kg intraperitoneally [i.p.] on gestational day 14)-induced pregnancy complications. Administration of BHB (100 mg/kg i.p.) clearly suppressed the absorption rate and IL-1β production in the placenta induced by LPS in pregnant mice. Moreover, LPS-induced pregnancy abnormalities were improved in NLRP3-deficient mice. These findings suggest that BHB play a role in reducing placental inflammation and pregnancy complications via inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Abstract
In the postpartum period, cows experience the uterine bacterial infection and develop the endometritis. To eliminate bacteria and recover from endometritis, endometrial epithelial and stromal cells secrete the cytokine and chemokine, such as interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-8, and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP1), to recruit immune cells. Moreover, the symptom of endometritis is prolonged in summer and we have recently indicated that hyperthermia suppresses and enhances the IL-6 production in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge in endometrial epithelial and stromal cells, respectively. However, the mechanisms for the opposite reaction of IL-6 secretion in response to LPS challenge in both types of endometrial cells under hyperthermia conditions were still unclear. To reveal these mechanisms, both types of endometrial cells were cultured with LPS under the control (38.5°C) or hyperthermia (40.5°C) conditions and comprehensively analyzed differential gene expressions of them by RNA-seq. In addition, based on these results, we examined the effect of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress on the IL-6 production in both types of endometrial cells cultured with LPS under hyperthermia conditions. In comprehensive analysis, hyperthermia induced the ER stress in the endometrial stromal cells but not in the endometrial epithelial cells. Actually, we confirmed that hyperthermia increased the gene expression of BiP, ATF4, and sXBP1 and protein expression of BiP and phosphorylated inositol requiring 1, ER stress marker, in the endometrial stromal cells but not in the endometrial epithelial cells. Moreover, in the endometrial stromal cells exposed to LPS, activation and inhibition of ER stress enhanced the IL-6 production under control conditions and suppressed it under hyperthermia conditions, respectively. In this study, we could uncover the one of causes for the disruption of IL-6 production in response to LPS challenge in the endometrial cells under hyperthermia conditions. This finding might be a clue for the improvement of the symptom of endometritis in cows during summer.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and objective
Living alone is reported as an independent risk factor for worse clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Manifestations of psychological stress such as depression and anxiety in patients living alone is thought to be associated with subsequent cardiovascular events. The impact of living alone on the psychological factors of patients may be differ depending on their living environment. However, comparison of the effects of living alone in different living environment on the prognosis of patients with ACS has not been reported.
Purpose
The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical effect of living alone on clinical outcomes in patients with ACS between urban area and rural area.
Methods
Data from a multi-center, observational study of consecutive patients who underwent emergency PCI for ACS between January 2012 and December 2016 were analyzed. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). MACCE was defined as composite of cardiovascular death, ACS, and stroke.
Results
In this study, 1349 patients were enrolled and divided into two population according to their living environment: urban area population (n=417), and rural area population (n=932). In urban area population, 87 patients (20.9%) were living alone, and 330 (79.1%) were living together. In rural area population, 169 (18.1%) were living alone, and 763 (81.9%) were living together. There are no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the living alone group and the living together group in both urban area population and rural area population. During a median follow-up period of 2.1 years, Kaplan-Meier curves showed the living alone group had higher risk of MACCE than the living together group in urban area population (log-rank, p=0.01). On the other hands, there are no significant differences in the incidences of MACCE between two groups in rural area population (p=0.86). After adjustment for other covariates, the living alone was significantly associated with MACCE (hazard ratio [HR], 2.83; 95% confidential interval [CI], 1.16–6.91; p=0.02) compared with the living together group in urban area population. However, in rural area population, the living alone group was not significantly associated with MACCE (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.66–1.57; p=0.92) compared with the living together group.
Conclusion
Living alone was significantly associated with worse clinical outcomes after emergency PCI of ACS in urban area but not in rural area.

Abstract
Background and objective
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with metallic coronary stent (bare-metal stents [BMS] and drug-eluting stents [DES]) implantation is most frequently performed therapeutic procedures for coronary artery disease. In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a critical drawback of metallic coronary stents. Incidence of ISR has been reported in up to 30% after BMS implantation. The use of DES has greatly reduced the proportion of restenosis compared with the BMS. However, ISR still remains the primary concern after PCI even in the contemporary DES era, and thought to be associated with worse clinical outcomes. However, comparative data on ISR and de novo lesions are rare.
Purpose
The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical outcomes after PCI for the de novo lesion and the ISR lesion.
Methods
We performed a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent PCI between 2013 and 2020. The incidences of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and all-cause death were evaluated. MACCE was defined as composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and stroke.
Results
In this study, 1538 patients were enrolled and divided into two groups: PCI for de novo lesion group (n=1258, 81.8%), and PCI for ISR lesion group (n=280, 18.2%). Patients in the ISR lesion group were significantly older and had higher prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and chronic kidney disease than patients in the de novo lesion group. During a median follow-up period of 1.9 years, Kaplan-Meier curves showed no significant differences in the incidences of MACCE (log-rank, p=0.86) and all-cause death (p=0.84) between two groups. After adjustment for other covariates, PCI for ISR lesion were not significantly associated with MACCE (hazard ratio [HR], 1.10; 95% confidential interval [CI], 0.61–1.97; p=0.76) and all-cause death (HR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.56–1.56; p=0.79)
Conclusion
PCI for the ISR lesion was not associated with worse clinical outcomes compared with PCI for the de novo lesion.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) are useful imaging modalities to identify lipid-rich plaque (LRP) which is associated with an increased risk of future cardiovascular events in individuals undergoing PCI. Pathological studies have raised concerns that treating LRP with stents may impair vascular healing. However, the impact of stent implantation to LRP lesions was less known. Moreover, little information is available about changes in the extent of LRP at before and after PCI.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate changes in LRP by NIRS between pre- and post-stent implantation, and to evaluate an association among impact of LRP by NIRS at pre- and post-stenting and late lumen loss (LLL) by angiography.
Methods
We studied 175 lesions in 149 patients who underwent PCI under NIRS-IVUS guidance and follow-up angiography at 8-month later from 2017 to 2020. Plaque characteristics on IVUS, the extent of LRP [defined as a long segment with a 4-mm maximum lipid core burden index (maxLCBI4mm)] on NIRS, and quantitative coronary angiography measurements were analyzed. We evaluated a change of the extent of LRP between pre- and post-stenting at index PCI procedure, and association between the extent of LRP and a 8-month LLL at follow-up coronary angiography. A large LRP was defined as maxLCBI4mm>400 at pre-stenting.
Results
Mean age was 64.5 years old, and 123 (82%) patients were male. The prevalence of large LRP was 51% and median plaque burden at minimum lumen area was 81%. The extent of LRP at culprit lesion significantly decreased from pre- to post-stenting (median maxLCBI4mm [interquartile range (IQR)]: 407 [199, 580] to 133 [13, 319], p<0.001) (Figure 1). In multivariable liner regression analysis, independent predictors for the reduction of LRP were a pre-stenting LRP (β coefficient = −57.0, 95% confidence interval (CI) [−65.1 to −48.8], p<0.001) and plaque burden (β coefficient = −30.0, 95% CI [−56.6 to −3.4], p<0.001), respectively. On the other hands, patient comorbidities, lipid profile and inflammatory markers were not associated with the reduction of LRP (all p>0.05). Median LLL at follow-up angiogram was 0.17 [0.07–0.35] mm. Both the extent of pre- and post-stenting LRP were not associated with LLL (r=0.018, p=0.80 and r=0.022, p=0.76, respectively) (Figure 2). In addition, there was no significant difference in LLL between the post-stenting large and non-large LRP (median [IQR] 0.18 [0.08–0.35] vs. 0.17 [0.07–0.35]; P=0.95).
Conclusions
This study showed coronary stent implantation significantly reduced the NIRS-derived LRP in patients undergoing PCI. Although the extent of pre-stenting LRP and IVUS plaque burden predicted the reduction of LRP, the extent of pre- and post-stenting LRP were not associated with LLL. These findings suggest that stent implantation for LRP, even in a large LRP, is safe and does not affect LLL.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Asians have a much lower incidence of adverse coronary events than Caucasians, and the characteristics of vulnerable plaque might be different among the ethnics.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of lipid-rich plaque (LRP) in the Asian population and we also aimed to distinguish the characteristics of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) culprit lesion and a chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) culprit lesion. Furthermore, we evaluated the association between lipid core burden index (LCBI) and cardiovascular risk factors, lipid profiles, and inflammatory biomarkers, as determined in vivo by near infrared spectroscopy intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS) imaging in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods
We evaluated 207 patients (ACS, n=75; CCS, n=132) who underwent PCI under NIRS-IVUS. Plaque characteristics and the extent of LRP [defined as a long segment with a 4-mm maximum LCBI (maxLCBI4mm)] on NIRS in de-novo culprit and non-culprit segments were analyzed.
Results
The mean age was 65 years old and 82% of patients were male. The ACS culprit lesions had a significantly higher maxLCBI4mm (median [interquartile range (IQR)]: 533 [385–745] vs. 361 [174–527], p<0.001) than the CCS culprit lesions. Whereas, no significant difference was seen in maxLCBI4mm between ACS and CCS non-culprit lesion segments (246 [53, 342] vs. 185 [37, 350], p=0.47) (Figure 1). Receiver-operating characteristic analysis showed that the NIRS maxLCBI4mm could distinguish the ACS culprit segment from the CCS culprit segment, with a sensitivity of 73% and a specificity of 69% (c-statistic = 0.69; p<0.001, cut-off value of max LCBI4mm = 408) (Figure 2). On multivariate logistic analysis, a large LRP (defined as maxLCBI4mm ≥400) was the strongest independent predictor of the ACS culprit segment (odds ratio, 3.87; 95% confidence interval, 1.95–8.02). In non-culprit segments, 19.8% of patients had at least one large LRP without a small lumen. No significant correlation was found between the extent of LRP and circulating lipid profiles and inflammatory makers biomarkers (hs-CRP, IL-6, TNF-α) in both the culprit and non-culprit lesion segments, whereas the extent of LRP was positively correlated with IVUS plaque burden (r=0.24, p<0.001).
Conclusions
We confirmed that NIRS-IVUS plaque assessment could be useful to differentiate ACS from CCS culprit lesions, and that a threshold maxLCBI4mm ≥400 was clinically suitable in Japanese patients. No systemic surrogate markers were found to be associated with the extent of LRP by NIRS in culprit and non-culprit segments. Consequently, we believe that direct intravascular evaluation of coronary plaque characteristics remains important for identification of high-risk LRP.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study investigated the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on the growth of bovine oocytes. METHODS Oocytes and granulosa cell complexes (OGCs) were collected from early antral follicles (0.4-0.7 mm) on the surface of ovaries harvested from a slaughterhouse. The OGCs were cultured with 0, 1, and 10 μmol/L docosahexanoic acid (DHA) for 16 days. RESULTS Antrum formation of the OGCs and the number of granulosa cells (GCs) surrounding the oocytes were comparable among groups, whereas supplementation of 0.1 μmol/L of DHA significantly improved oocyte growth. Oocytes grown with DHA had a higher fertilization rate, acetylation levels of H4K12, and ATP contents, as well as a lower lipid content compared with those grown without DHA. In addition, GCs surrounding OGCs grown with DHA had low lipid content compared with vehicle counterparts. Furthermore, when GCs were cultured in vitro, DHA increased ATP production, mitochondrial membrane potential, and reduced lipid content and levels of reactive oxygen species. RNA-seq of GCs revealed that DHA increased CPT1A expression levels and affect genes associated with focal adhesion, oxidative phosphorylation, and PI3K-AKT etc. CONCLUSION The results suggest that DHA supplementation affects granulosa cell characteristics and supports oocyte growth in vitro.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondria play a crucial role in nuclear maturation, fertilization, and subsequent embryo development. Cryopreservation is an important assisted reproductive technology that is used worldwide for humans and domestic animals. Although mitochondrial quantity and quality are decisive factors for successful development of oocytes and embryos, cryopreservation induces mitochondrial dysfunction. Upon thawing, the damaged mitochondria are removed, and de novo synthesis occurs to restore the function of mitochondria. Resveratrol, 3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene, is a polyphenolic antioxidant that has versatile target proteins, among which sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) is a key regulator of in mitochondrial biogenesis and degradation. METHODS The present study is a literature review focusing on experiments involving the hypothesis that the activation of mitochondrial biogenesis and degradation following cryopreservation and warming by resveratrol may help mitochondrial recovery and improve oocyte and embryo development. MAIN FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION Resveratrol improves oocyte maturation and development and upregulates mitochondrial biogenesis and degradation. When vitrified-warmed embryos are treated with resveratrol, it helps in mitochondrial regulation and recovery of embryos from cryopreservation-induced damage. CONCLUSION Resveratrol treatment is a possible countermeasure against cryopreservation-induced mitochondrial damage.

Abstract
Advanced maternal age is a risk factor for female infertility, and placental dysfunction is considered one of the causes of pregnancy complications. We investigated the effects of advanced
maternal aging on pregnancy outcomes and placental senescence. Female pregnant mice were separated into three groups: young (3 months old), middle (8–9 months old), and aged (11–13 months
old). Although the body weights of young and middle dams gradually increased during pregnancy, the body weight of aged dams only increased slightly. The placental weight and resorption rate
were significantly higher, and live fetal weights were reduced in a maternal age-dependent manner. Although mRNA expression of senescence regulatory factors (p16 and p21) increased in the
spleen of aged dams, mRNA expression of p16 did not change and that of p21 was reduced in the placenta of aged dams. Using a cytokine array of proteins extracted from placental tissues, the
expression of various types of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors was decreased in aged dams compared with young and middle dams. The aged maternal placenta showed
reduced immune cell accumulation compared with the young placenta. Our present results suggest that models using pregnant mice older than 8 months are more suitable for verifying older human
pregnancies. These findings suggest that general cellular senescence programs may not be included in the placenta and that placental functions, including SASP production and immune cell
accumulation, gradually decrease in a maternal age-dependent manner, resulting in a higher rate of pregnancy complications.

Xanthan gum (XG) and locust bean gum (LBG) are nontoxic polysaccharides that produce culture substrates. The present study examined the effect of XG-LBG gel on in vitro bovine oocyte growth and gene expression in granulosa cells. Oocytes and granulosa cell complexes (OGCs) were cultured in vitro on plastic culture plate (Plate) or XG-LBG gel for 16 days. OGCs formed a dome-like cavity surrounding the oocytes on plate but formed a spherical follicle structure on XG-LBG gel. The total granulosa cell numbers of the OGCs and their survival rate was greater for OGCs cultured on XG-LBG gel than for those cultured on plate. Oocytes grown on XG-LBG gels had higher lipid and mitochondrial content, as well as a larger diameter, than their plate counterparts. When oocytes grown in vitro were subjected to in vitro maturation and fertilization, the normal fertilization rate was significantly higher for oocytes developed on XG-LBG gel than that of oocytes cultured on the plate counterpart. RNAseq of the granulosa cells revealed that genes associated with focal adhesion, phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase-Akt and Hippo signaling, and regulation of actin cytoskeleton were upregulated in granulosa cells of OGCs cultured on XG-LBG gel compared with those cultured on plate.

Abstract
Maternal aging and vitrification affect mitochondrial quality and quantity in embryos. The present study investigated the effects of maternal aging on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number in embryos, and the amount of cell-free mtDNA (cf-mtDNA) in spent culture medium (SCM) of embryos. Moreover, we examined the effects of vitrification on mtDNA copy number in embryos of young and aged cows, and on cf-mtDNA abundance in SCM. Oocytes collected from ovaries of young (20-40 months old) and aged cows (> 140 months old) were used to produce early stage embryos (8-12 cell-stage, 48 h after insemination). These embryos were individually cultured for 5 days, and mtDNA copy number in blastocysts and cf-mtDNA content in SCM, were evaluated by real-time PCR. At 48 h post-insemination, mtDNA copy number in embryos was greater for young cows compared with that of aged cows, whereas no significant difference was observed in cf-mtDNA in the SCM. Next, we addressed whether zona pellucida (ZP) may mask the difference in cf-mtDNA content in SCM. Using ZP-free embryos, we found significantly greater cf-mtDNA content in the SCM of blastocysts derived from aged cows. Furthermore, when embryos were vitrified and warmed, mtDNA copy number in blastocysts derived from young cows was lower, whereas cf-mtDNA content in SCM was greater than in those derived from aged cows. In conclusion, maternal aging affects mitochondrial kinetics and copy number in embryos following vitrification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Phenotypic screening is one of the most practical approaches to the identification of mediators of behaviour, since it is difficult to model brain function in vitro, at a cellular level. We used a zebrafish (Danio rerio) behavioural assay to discover novel, natural, neuroactive compounds. MATERIALS AND METHODS A zebrafish behavioural assay was performed for seven natural compounds, obtained from plants. The behavioural profiles were compared to those of known psychoactive drugs. We characterised a natural compound exhibiting a behaviour profile similar to that of suvorexant, using in silico, in vitro and microarray expression analysis. RESULTS The behavioural analysis performed in this study classified central nervous system drugs according to their mechanism. Zebrafish treated with a natural compound, 8b-(4'-Hydroxytigloyloxy) costunolide (8b), showed behaviour profiles similar to those of zebrafish treated with suvorexant, a known orexin antagonist. This behavioural assay was validated using in silico and in vitro assays, which revealed that the new compound was a dual orexin receptor antagonist. In addition, transcriptome analysis suggested that 8b might regulate the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) related pathway. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that zebrafish phenotypic screening, combined with in silico assays and gene expression profiling, is a useful strategy to discover and characterize novel therapeutic compounds, including natural products.

Abstract
The number of mitochondria in blastocysts is a potential marker of embryo quality. However, the molecular mechanisms governing the mitochondrial number in
embryos are unclear. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of reduced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels on mitochondrial
biogenesis in porcine embryos. Oocytes were collected from gilt ovaries and activated to generate over 4 cell-stage embryos at day 2 after activation. These
embryos were cultured in media containing either 0.1 μM MitoTEMPOL (MitoT), 0.5 μM Mitoquinol (MitoQ), or vehicle (ethanol) for 5 days to determine the rate of
development to the blastocyst stage. The mitochondrial number in blastocysts was evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Five days after
activation, the embryos (early morula stage) were subjected to immunostaining to determine the expression levels of NRF2 in the nucleus. In addition, the
expression levels of PGC1α and TFAM in the embryos were examined by reverse transcription PCR. One day of incubation with the
antioxidants reduced the ROS content in the embryos but did not affect the rate of development to the blastocyst stage. Blastocysts developed in medium
containing MitoT had lower mitochondrial DNA copy numbers and ATP content, whereas MitoQ showed similar but insignificantly trends. Treatment of embryos with
either MitoT or MitoQ decreased the expression levels of NRF2 in the nucleus and levels of PGC1α and TFAM. These findings
indicate that reductions in mitochondrial ROS levels are associated with low mitochondrial biogenesis in embryos.
