Tribbles homolog 2 (TRIB2) plays an important role in the follicular development of female mammals. However, its expression and function in the yak () are still unclear. In this study, we predicted the molecular characteristics of , and revealed its expression pattern in yak () tissues and ovarian granulosa cells. We cloned the full length of the yak gene obtained by RT-PCR was 1368 bp and the coding sequence (CDS) was 624 bp, encoding 207 amino acids (AA). Homology analysis showed that the yak TRIB2 is highly conserved among species. was detected to be extensively expressed in seven tissues of the yak liver, spleen, lung, kidney, ovary, oviduct and uterus by qPCR. The expression of mRNA in the ovary during gestation was significantly lower than that in the non-pregnant ( < 0.05). At each stage of follicle development, the mRNA in granulosa cells showed a significant upward trend with the development of follicles. The expression of gradually decreased with the increase of the culture time of the granulosa cells . In conclusion, these results suggest that TRIB2 may play an important role in the follicular development of yaks.

Exposure to 6PPD-Q induces dysfunctions of ovarian granulosa cells: Its potential role in PCOS.

J Hazard Mater

Women's Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310006, China. Electronic address:

N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-quinone (6PPD-Q), an environmental pollutant derived from the ozonolysis of the widely used tire rubber antioxidant 6PPD, has been found to accumulate in air, dust, and water, posing significant health risks. While its reproductive toxicity in male organisms has been established, its effects on female reproductive health remain unclear. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine disorder in premenopausal women, is known to be influenced by environmental pollutants.

Tribbles homolog 2 (TRIB2), a pseudoserine/threonine kinase, is a member of the TRIB family. TRIB2 primarily regulates cell proliferation through its scaffold or adaptor effect on promoting the degradation of target proteins by E3 ligase-dependent ubiquitination and regulating mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathways. TRIB2 is not only involved in the physiological proliferation of cells (granulosa cells, myoblasts, naive T cells, and thymocytes) during normal development but also in the pathological proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and a variety of cancer cells (lung cancer cells, liver cancer cells, leukemia cells, pancreatic cancer cells, gastric cancer cells, prostate cancer cells, thyroid cancer cells, cervical cancer cells, melanoma cells, colorectal cancer cells, ovarian cancer cells and osteosarcoma cells) under disease conditions.

Study Question: Is elevated plasma molybdenum level associated with increased risk for idiopathic premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)?

Summary Answer: Elevated plasma molybdenum level is associated with an increased risk of idiopathic POI through vascular endothelial injury and inhibition of granulosa cell proliferation.

What Is Known Already: Excessive molybdenum exposure has been associated with ovarian oxidative stress in animals but its role in the development of POI remains unknown.

Study Design, Size, Duration: Case-control study of 30 women with idiopathic POI and 31 controls enrolled from August 2018 to May 2019.

Introduction: Identifying non-invasive biomarkers which can predict the outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is crucial, particularly in Germany where the challenges are intensified by the Embryo Protection Act. Recent research has highlighted biomarkers within the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family as central to follicular processes, although their predictive utility remains a subject of debate in the literature. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to investigate the significance of amphiregulin concentrations in follicular fluid and gene expression in mural granulosa cells on oocyte maturation, fertilization, and embryo quality.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the role of a specific circular RNA, WRNIP1 (circWRNIP1), in the development of ovarian follicles in chickens, proposing its importance in egg production.
  • Emerging research highlights how circWRNIP1 promotes the growth of granulosa cells while reducing cell death, indicating its crucial role in selecting and maturing ovarian follicles.
  • The research also uncovers the molecular mechanisms through which circWRNIP1 influences signaling pathways (PI3K-AKT and ERK1/2) via interactions with miR-129-5p and IGF2, which could lead to advancements in breeding strategies.
