The extent of oxidative damage transferred by the damaged sperm to the progeny is likely to be limited by the oocyte's repair and antioxidative capacity. We aimed to assess the association between Brilliant Cresyl Blue (BCB) staining in oocytes and their competence for embryo development after in vitro fertilisation (IVF) with damaged sperm. For this purpose, bovine sperm were incubated without (non-oxidised sperm, NOX S) or with 100 µM HO (oxidised sperm, OX S) and were used to fertilise in-vitro-matured bovine oocytes (BCB-pos./BCB-neg.). Unstained oocytes served as controls (US). Development was assessed at 30, 46, 60 h and on Days (D) 7 and 8 after IVF. Total cell number and apoptotic index were analysed in D7 blastocysts. BCB-neg. oocytes showed lower cleavage rates and blastocyst rates than unstained oocytes after IVF with NOX S ( < 0.05). They showed the highest reduction in D7 blastocyst rate upon fertilisation with OX S and showed a delayed embryo development at 46 and 60 h after IVF compared to embryos produced with NOX S ( < 0.05). Total cell number in blastocysts produced with BCB-neg. oocytes was lower ( < 0.05) in the embryos produced with OX S than in embryos after IVF with NOX S. In conclusion, BCB-neg. oocytes have a lower competence to support embryo development after in vitro fertilisation with oxidised sperm.

The potential health risks of microplastics (MPs) and their combined exposure with heavy metals such as mercury (Hg) in aquatic environment are increasingly concerned recently. In this work, zebrafish embryos were exposed to different levels of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs, ∼0.1 μm) coupled with Hg(II) or/and MeHg at 20 μg/L, to investigate the tissue biodistribution and accumulation of PS-MPs and Hg species, and their interaction, as well as embryo toxicity, oxidative stress and metabolic profiles.

Oocyte-secreted factors (OSFs), such as BMP15 and GDF9, are soluble paracrine factors that drive cumulus cell differentiation and function, sustaining oocyte competence acquisition and embryo development. This study aimed to assess the effect of BMP15 and GDF9 on IVM medium of prepubertal goat oocytes. COCs were in vitro matured in absence (control group) or presence of 100 ng/mL of BMP15, GDF9, or both.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 4 (MAP3K4) promotes fetal and placental growth and development, with MAP3K4 kinase inactivation resulting in placental insufficiency and fetal growth restriction. MAP3K4 promotes key signaling pathways including JNK, p38, and PI3K/Akt, leading to activation of CREB-binding protein. MAP3K4 kinase inactivation results in loss of these pathways and gain of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) expression and activity.

Recent evidence suggests that environmental factors experienced by sires can be transmitted through the ejaculate (seminal plasma + sperm) into the female reproductive tract, influencing fertilization, embryo development, and postnatal offspring outcomes. This concept is termed paternal programming. In rodents, sire nutrition was shown to directly alter offspring outcomes through sperm epigenetic signatures, DNA damage/oxidative stress, cytokine profiles, and/or the seminal microbiome.

The current comprehensive study showcases a meticulous synthesis of novel class of α-benzilmonoxime thiocarbohydrazide (BMOTC) derivatives, and manifesting their multifaceted potential as antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer agents. The synthesis of target compounds was performed in three phases using literature methods. In the first step, benzilmonoxime is synthesized using benzil and hydroxyl amine hydrochloride, followed by benzilmonoxime imine using thiocarbohydrazide.
