Abstract

Omentin (ITLN1) is a novel adipokine mainly expressed in the white adipose tissue. It plays a crucial role in the metabolic homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. Our last study documented that ITLN1 levels in the adipose tissue and plasma are lower in fat Meishan (MS) compared to normal weight Large White (LW) pigs. The aim of this study was to investigate transcript and protein concentrations of ITLN1 as well as its immunolocalisation in the ovarian follicles and examine the molecular mechanism involved in the regulation of its expression in response to gonadotropins (FSH, LH) and steroids (P4, T, E2). Ovarian follicles were collected from LW and MS sows on days 2–3, 10–12, and 14–16 of the oestrous. We found the elevated ITLN1 expression in the ovarian follicles and the increase of concentrations in follicular fluid (FF) of LW pigs vs MS pigs; in both breeds of pigs, the levels of ITLN1 increased with the oestrous progression. We noted ITLN1 signals in oocyte, granulosa and theca cells. Gonadotropins and steroids increased ITLN1 levels in the ovarian follicle cells of LW pigs, while in MS pigs, we observed only the stimulatory effect of LH and T. Both extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) and phosphatidylinositol 3′-kinase (PI3K) were involved in the regulation of ITLN1. Our study demonstrated the levels and regulation of ITLN1 in the porcine ovarian follicles through ERK1/2 and PI3K signaling pathways.
