    Abstract Spermatogenesis is the process of generation of male reproductive cells from spermatogonial stem cells in the seminiferous epithelium of the testis. During spermatogenesis, key spermatogenic events such as stem cell self-renewal and commitment to meiosis, meiotic recombination, meiotic sex chromosome inactivation, followed by cellular and chromatin remodeling of elongating spermatids occur, leading to sperm cell production. All the mentioned events are at least partially controlled by the epigenetic modifications of DNA and histones. Additionally, during embryonal development in primordial germ cells, global epigenetic reprogramming of DNA occurs. In this review, we summarized the most important epigenetic modifications in the particular stages of germ cell development, in DNA and histone proteins, starting from primordial germ cells, during embryonal development, and ending with histone-to-protamine transition during spermiogenesis.

    Abstract Background: Infertility becomes a global problem that affects to the same extent females and males. As reasons of male infertility can differ among individuals, the accurate diagnostics is essential for effective treatment. The most problematic both in diagnostics and in treatment are disturbances of spermatogenesis. Seminal fluid is rich in proteins that potentially can serve as markers for male infertility and among them, markers of spermatogenesis which are highly desired.
    Methods: To find biomarkers of spermatogenesis, we applied comparative proteomics using nano ultra performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (nanoUPLC-MS/MS) followed by single-sample Western blotting (WB) using seminal fluid samples from males with different types of infertility including non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), cryptozoospermia (C) and severe oligozoospermia (SO). Then, the extensive survey on the identified proteins and their function in male reproductive system has been done.
    Results: The proteomic approach has enabled to identified five seminal fluid proteins being potential markers of spermatogenesis disorders: ADGRG2, RAB3B, LTF, SLC2A3 and spermine synthase (SMS). Among them ADGRG2 seems to be strongly involved in male infertility. In addition, WB indicated that the distribution of LTF, SLC2A3 and SMS was not coherent among the individuals, especially in a group with NOA. Functional annotation analysis and search in proteomics databases revealed that vast majority of the proteins originated from extracellular environment.
    Conclusions: The presented data point out several proteins that potentially can become biomarkers of male infertility. The data suggest, however, different mechanisms behind the male infertility indicating that the etiology is more complex. We assume that recognition of these mechanisms may lead to the creation of specific protein panel helpful in the management of male infertility and therefore, further studies are required.

    Abstract Background: The application of a circulating miR-195 inhibitor could be a helping factor in the in vitro model of human skeletal muscle-derived stem/progenitor cells (SkMDS/PCs). Previously, microRNA-195 (miR-195) expression has been reported to be a negative factor for myogenesis.
    Aims: The study aimed to obtain anti-apoptotic and anti-aging effects in in vitro cultured myoblasts and to improve their ability to form myotubes by suppressing miR-195 expression.
    Methods: Human wild-type (WT) SkMDS/PC cells incubated with control (nonspecific) miRNA inhibitor and miR-195-inhibited SkMDS/PCs were studied. Functional assays (myotube formation and cell aging), antioxidant, and myogenic gene expression analyses were performed at two time points, at the seventh and eleventh cell passages.
    Results: Myotube formation was found to be almost 2-fold higher in the miR-195-inhibited SkMDS/PCs population (P < 0.05) compared to WT cells. miR-195 inhibition did not appear to affect cell aging or rejuvenate human SkMDS/PCs. Antioxidant (SOD3 and FOXO) gene expression was augmented in the miR-195-inhibited SkMDS/PCs population, but no positive effect on the remaining antioxidant genes (SOD1, SOD2, and catalase) was observed. A significant increase in MyoD gene expression with a concomitant decrease in MyoG (P < 0.05) was further documented in miR-195- -inhibited SkMDS/PCs compared to WT cells (the eleventh cell passage).
    Conclusions: The performed studies may lead to the preconditioning of myogenic stem cells to extend their potential for pro-regenerative activity. The miR-195 inhibitor may serve as a conditioning factor augmenting selective antioxidant gene expression and proliferative potential of SkMDS/PCs, but it does not have an impact on cell aging and/ or apoptosis.

    Abstract Introduction: Whether carbon dioxide (CO
    Material and methods: Twenty-four endotoxemic rabbits were mechanically ventilated with standard or CO
    Results: Following 180 min of hypercapnic ventilation, opsonized zymosan (OZ)-stimulated neutrophils showed lower CL vs. the control group (p = 0.004). Other parameters studied were not affected.
    Conclusions: Short-term isooxic hypercapnia in endotoxemic rabbits preserves circulating neutrophil count pattern and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, but it may reduce phagocytosis.

    Abstract In men with oligozoospermia, Robertsonian translocations (RobTs) are the most common type of autosomal aberrations. The most commonly occurring types are rob(13;14) and rob(14;21), and other types of RobTs are described as 'rare' cases. Based on molecular research, all RobTs can be broadly classified into Class 1 and Class 2. Class 1 translocations produce the same breakpoints within their RobT type, but Class 2 translocations are predicted to form during meiosis or mitosis through a variety of mechanisms, resulting in variation in the breakpoint locations. This review seeks to analyse the available data addressing the question of whether the molecular classification of RobTs into Classes 1 and 2 and/or the type of DD/GG/DG symmetry of the involved chromosomes is reflected in the efficiency of spermatogenesis. The lowest frequency value calculated for the rate of alternate segregants was found for rob(13;15) carriers (Class 2, symmetry DD) and the highest for rob(13;21) carriers (Class 2, DG symmetry). The aneuploidy values for the rare RobT (Class 2) and common rob(14;21) (Class 1) groups together exhibited similarities while differing from those for the common rob(13;14) (Class 1) group. Considering the division of RobT carriers into those with normozoospermia and those with oligoasthenozoospermia, it was found that the number of carriers with elevated levels of aneuploidy was unexpectedly quite similar and high (approx. 70%) in the two subgroups. The reason(s) that the same RobT does not always show a similar destructive effect on fertility was also pointed out.

    Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive motor neuronal disorder characterized by neuronal degeneration and currently no effective cure is available to stop or delay the disease from progression. Transplantation of murine glial-restricted precursors (mGRPs) is an attractive strategy to modulate ALS development and advancements such as the use of immune modulators could potentially extend graft survival and function.
