The research on protein modifications carried out by Dr. Agnieszka Mostek-Majewska and co-authors has enabled a better understanding of capacitation and the disruption of this process in the semen of livestock, including the bull.
Mammalian sperm, immediately after ejaculation, are not capable of fertilizing an egg. For fertilization to occur, the sperm must undergo a series of biochemical modifications in the female’s oviduct to make it capable of fusing with the egg cell. This process is called capacitation.
Disorders of the process of sperm „conditioning” are one of the most common causes of idiopathic male infertility, unrelated to sperm motility and morphology. For this reason, capacitation rates are increasingly being studied in the diagnosis of infertility, in addition to standard analyses of sperm motility and morphology.
It is known that capacitation disorders can also occur in livestock, but there are few studies describing this problem. However, it is of importance for breeding progress.
The research conducted by Dr. Agnieszka Mostek-Majewska and co-authors on protein modifications has provided a better understanding of capacitation and disorders of this process in livestock spermatozoa. This, in turn, gives hope for the development of effective methods of detecting fertility abnormalities and improvements of cattle breeding. The article “New insights into posttranslational modifications of proteins during bull sperm capacitation” have been recently published in Cell Communication and Signaling. Go to the paper.
Badania nad modyfikacjami białek przeprowadzone przez dr Agnieszkę Mostek-Majewską i współautorów umożliwiły lepsze zrozumienie kapacytacji oraz zaburzeń tego procesu w plemnikach zwierząt gospodarskich, w tym buhaja.
Plemniki ssaków, bezpośrednio po ejakulacji, nie są zdolne do zapłodnienia komórki jajowej. Aby mogło dojść do zapłodnienia, plemniki muszą przejść w jajowodzie samicy szereg biochemicznych modyfikacji, dzięki którym staną się zdolne do połączenia z komórką jajową. Proces ten nazywamy kapacytacją.
Zaburzenia procesu „uzdatniania” plemników są jedną z najczęstszych przyczyn idiopatycznej, niezwiązanej z ruchliwością i morfologią plemników, bezpłodności męskiej. Z tego powodu coraz częściej w diagnostyce bezpłodności, oprócz standardowych analiz ruchliwości i morfologii plemników, bada się również wskaźniki kapacytacji.
Wiadomo, że zaburzenia kapacytacji mogą występować również u zwierząt gospodarskich, jednak istnieje niewiele badań opisujących ten problem. Ma to jednak znaczenie dla postępu hodowlanego.
Przeprowadzone przez dr Agnieszkę Mostek-Majewską i współautorów badania nad modyfikacjami białek umożliwiły lepsze zrozumienie kapacytacji oraz zaburzeń tego procesu w plemnikach zwierząt gospodarskich. To z kolei daje nadzieję na opracowanie skutecznych metod wykrywania nieprawidłowości związanych z płodnością i usprawnienie hodowli bydła.

Lymphocytes are white blood cells that regulate the immune system. If they have some „experience”, e.g. with an allergenic protein and get transplanted into another organism, then such a transfer will strengthen the immune reaction and the body will start to defend itself better against this protein.
Such an experiment was conducted by scientists from our Institute. They showed that transplanted CD4+ T cells that were in contact with hen’s egg white enhanced the immune response to it. The results were published in the International Journal of Molecular Science.
– The results of our research may be a step towards developing methods of treating patients with allergies – emphasizes the author of the research, Dr. Dagmara Złotkowska from the Department of Immunology and Food Microbiology IAR&FR PAS in Olsztyn.
HOW ALLERGIES HAPPEN
A food allergy is an abnormal reaction of the body’s immune system to a specific compound, which is an allergen. So it is a type of food hypersensitivity that causes unwanted food reactions, involving the immune system.
In the fight against food allergies, T lymphocytes, i.e. white blood cells, play an important role in regulating the immune system response. – This is a group of cells specializing in defending our body against the undesirable effects of potential allergens – explains Dr. Dagmara Złotkowska.
If we „teached” cells how to recognize and neutralize specific allergenic proteins, these „teachers” could be transferred (e.g. in the form of vaccines) to the body of allergy sufferers to minimize its immune response. – This can be compared to the mechanism of the mRNA vaccine against COVID-19, where – to put it simply – we do not provide the cells with a virus, but with a „set of instructions” on how to produce antibodies – the researcher points out.
EXPERIMENTAL TRANSFER
The team from the Department of Immunology and Food Microbiology of IAR&FR PAS in Olsztyn focused on allergy to hen’s egg protein and the possibility of cross-reactivity with chicken meat proteins. This meat is a common component of the modern diet; allergy to them is relatively rare and occurs independently or in people allergic to egg white (OVA, or ovalbumin, is the main protein found in egg white). CD4+ T cells, on the other hand, are special immune cells that recognize allergens, including the OVA protein.
The experiment involved transplanting experienced (those that had already been in contact with OVA) CD4+ T cells into the body of an animal that was allergic to OVA and fed chicken meat. – It turned out that such a transfer helped to improve the negative immune response to OVA, that is, it strengthened the body’s immune response to the OVA protein, which was previously not recognized and fought off by the immune system. To put it simple, the body began to defend itself better against this protein – indicates Dr. Dagmara Złotkowska.
A CURE FOR FOOD ALLERGY?
The approach of the researchers from Olsztyn is innovative and may contribute to the development of treatment methods for patients with allergies. – So far, the most effective way to treat food allergy is to exercise the elimination diet – which eliminates not only allergens, but also other cross-reacting proteins. I doubt whether we will find a „cure” for allergy in the near future, because many factors and mechanisms affecting it are still not known. The results of our research may, however, be a step towards developing methods of treating patients with allergies, e.g. by giving them „trained” groups of cells that could reduce the immune response to a given allergen. There are still many years of research ahead of us, but the direction seems promising – the researcher concludes.
Limfocyty to białe krwinki, które regulują pracę układu odpornościowego. Jeśli się je „doświadczy” np. kontaktem z alergizującym białkiem i przeszczepi do innego organizmu, wówczas taki transfer wzmocni reakcję immunologiczną, a organizm zacznie się lepiej bronić przed tym białkiem.
Takie doświadczenie przeprowadzili naukowcy z naszego Instytutu. Wykazali, że przeszczepione komórki T CD4+, które miały kontakt z białkiem jaja kurzego wzmocniły odpowiedź immunologiczną na nie. Wyniki ukazały się w czasopiśmie „International Journal of Molecular Science” .
– Wyniki naszych badań mogą stanowić krok w stronę opracowania metod leczenia pacjentów z alergią – podkreśla autorka badań dr hab. Dagmara Złotkowska z Zespołu Immunologii i Mikrobiologii Żywności IRZiBŻ PAN w Olsztynie.
JAK POWSTAJE ALERGIA
Alergia pokarmowa to nieprawidłowa reakcja układu odpornościowego organizmu na specyficzny związek, jakim jest alergen. Jest to więc rodzaj nadwrażliwości pokarmowej, która powoduje niepożądane reakcje pokarmowe, angażując układ immunologiczny.
W zwalczaniu alergii pokarmowych istotną rolę odgrywają limfocyty T, czyli białe krwinki, regulujące odpowiedź układu immunologicznego. – To grupa komórek specjalizująca się w obronie naszego organizmu przed niepożądanym działaniem potencjalnych alergenów – tłumaczy dr hab. Dagmara Złotkowska.
Gdybyśmy „nauczyli” komórki, jak rozpoznawać i neutralizować konkretne alergizujące białka, można by transferować tych „nauczycieli” (np. w postaci szczepionek) do organizmu alergików, by zminimalizowali jego odpowiedź immunologiczną. – Można to porównać do mechanizmu szczepionki mRNA przeciw COVID-19, gdzie – w dużym uproszczeniu – nie podaje się komórkom wirusa, ale „instrukcję w pigułce”, jak wytwarzać przeciwciała – wskazuje badaczka.
EKSPERYMENTALNY TRANSFER
Zespół z Zespołu Immunologii i Mikrobiologii Żywności IRZiBŻ PAN w Olsztynie skupił się na alergii na białko jaja kurzego i możliwości krzyżowej reaktywności z białkami mięsa kurczaka. Mięso to jest częstym składnikiem współczesnej diety; alergia na nie jest stosunkowo rzadka i występuje niezależnie lub właśnie u osób uczulonych na białko jaj (OVA, czyli owalbumina, to główne białko występujące w białku jaj). Z kolei komórki T CD4+ to specjalne komórki odpornościowe, które rozpoznają alergeny w tym białko OVA.
Eksperyment polegał na przeszczepieniu doświadczonych (czyli tych, które już miały kontakt z OVA) komórek T CD4+ do organizmu zwierzęcia, które wykazywało alergię na OVA i któremu podawano mięso kurcząt. – Okazało się, że taki transfer pomógł poprawić negatywną odpowiedź immunologiczną na OVA, czyli wzmocnił reakcję immunologiczną organizmu na białko OVA, które wcześniej nie było rozpoznawane i zwalczane przez układ odpornościowy. Mówiąc wprost, organizm zaczął się lepiej bronić przed tym białkiem – wskazuje dr hab. Dagmara Złotkowska.
LEK NA ALERGIĘ POKARMOWĄ?
Podejście badaczy z Olsztyna jest nowatorskie i może przyczynić się do opracowania metod leczenia pacjentów z alergią. – Jak dotąd najskuteczniejszym sposobem na leczenie alergii pokarmowej jest metoda diety eliminacyjnej – która eliminuje nie tylko alergeny, ale także te inne białka reagujące krzyżowo. Wątpię, czy w najbliższym czasie znajdziemy „lek” na alergię, ponieważ wciąż wiele czynników i mechanizmów na nią wpływających nie jest jeszcze poznanych. Wyniki naszych badań mogą jednak stanowić krok w stronę opracowania metod leczenia pacjentów z alergią np. poprzez podawanie im „nauczonych” grup komórek, które mogłyby obniżać odpowiedź immunologiczną na dany alergen. Jeszcze wiele lat badań przed nami, ale kierunek wydaje się być obiecujący – podsumowuje badaczka.

In 2022, the employees of the Institute published a total of 171 scientific and review articles, of which 113 were published in journals supporting open access. Thus, the number of papers published in open access accounted for 66.08% of all papers published with the affiliation of IARFR PAS.
In the same period, employees received 21 projects financed from external sources. 18 of them are funded by the National Science Center and have data management plans that regulate issues of open access to scientific publications and research data. 1 project is intended to financially support the Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences, which is a journal supporting open access.
As part of implementing the provisions of the Policy, we managed to acquire and launch an IT infrastructure that increases the security of stored data. Its use has been included in the research data management plan template used in the preparation of research project proposals.
We also managed to prepare a research data management plan in line with the requirements of Horizon 2020 for the project „Welcoming ERA Chair to Center of excellence in nutrigenomics for optimizing health and well-being in the Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research, Polish Academy of Sciences”, which was one of the project implementation indicators. This information is a summary of the report on the implementation of the Open Access Policy at the Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Olsztyn in 2022.
