Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as linoleic acid (18:2, n-6) and α-linolenic (18:3, n-3) are essential for the growth, development, well-being of mammals. However, most mammals, including humans, cannot synthesize n-3 n-6 PUFAs these must be obtained through diet. The beneficial effect converting polyunsaturated (n-6 PUFAs) into (n-3 has led to extensive research on flax desaturase 3 (Fad3) gene, which encodes desaturase. Still, plant-derived Fad3 gene is used much less in...

During embryonic development, zygotic genome activation (ZGA) is a critical event that determines the rational process and fate of cells. The tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) provides necessary reactants energy for biological activities such as activation, chromatin opening, epigenetic modifications during ZGA. Recent studies have shown ZGA, core enzymes associated with TCA briefly enter nucleus participate in initiating ZGA process. However, regulatory relationship between factors, Dux,...

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation is the most common and abundant modification on mammalian messenger RNA (mRNA) regulates pluripotency of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Research has shown that melatonin plays a fundamental role in DNA histone modifications. However, effect unknown. Here, for first time, we investigated m6A modifications long-term-cultured ESCs. Pluripotency studies indicated 10 μmol/L sufficiently maintained ESCs with stemness features over 45 passages (more than 90 days)....
