Transient impact of paclitaxel on mouse fertility and protective effect of gonadotropin?releasing hormone agonist.

ABSTRACT: Paclitaxel (PXL) is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used in solid tumors. However, whether PXL causes premature ovarian insufficiency in women of reproductive age remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to answer how and for how long PXL affects fertility, and to identify the protective effect of gonadotropin?releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) in mice. A single dose of PXL was administered to 7?week?old female ICR mice. Mice were treated with GnRHa for 1 estrous cycle prior to chemotherapy, and for another following chemotherapy. On the days 1, 6, 11 and 16 following the administration of PXL, mice were assessed by ovarian histology, ovarian stimulation and mating experiment. Multiple doses of PXL were also administered to verify the duration of the gonadotoxicity of PXL. It was determined that PXL only destroyed antral follicles on day 1 following chemotherapy without reducing primordial follicles. In vitro experiments revealed that PXL impaired oocytes in metaphase, excluding those at the germinal vesicle stage. The number and quality of retrieved metaphase?(M?) oocytes in PXL?exposed mice were reduced on day 1 following chemotherapy, which was recovered on day 11. M? oocytes from mice pretreated with GnRHa recovered on day 6 following chemotherapy. Following 3 estrous cycles in mice after the last dose of the 3?dose paclitaxel administration, follicles in all stages and retrieved MII oocytes were recovered. It was concluded that the impairment caused by PXL on follicles and oocytes in mice lasted for <3 estrous cycles, which was shortened by pretreatment of GnRHa.

Project description:BackgroundThe main objective of the present work was to compare the effects of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) and GnRH antagonist (GnRH-ant) on the gene expression profiles of oocytes obtained from Iranian infertile couples undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).MethodsFifty infertile couples who underwent IVF between June 2012 and November 2013 at the Infertility Center of Tehran Women General Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, were included in this study. We included women that had undergone IVF treatment because of male factor, tubal factor, or unexplained infertility. The women randomly underwent controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) with either the GnRH-a (n = 26) or the GnRH-ant (n = 24). We obtained 50 germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes donated by women in each group. After the sampling, pool of 50 GV oocytes for each group was separately analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).ResultThe expression levels of Adenosine triphosphatase 6 (ATPase 6), Bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15), and Neuronal apoptosis inhibitory protein (NAIP) genes were significantly upregulated in the GnRH-ant group compared to the GnRH-a group, with the fold change of 3.990 (SD ± 1.325), 6.274 (SD ± 1.542), and 2.156 (SD ± 1.443), respectively, (P < 0.001). Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) mRNA did not have any expression in the GnRH-a group; however, GDF9 mRNA was expressed in the GnRH-ant group. Finally, it was found that the genes involved in the DNA repairing and cell cycle checkpoint did not have any expression in either group.ConclusionThe present study showed, for the first time, the expression levels of genes involved in the cytoplasmic maturity (BMP15, GDF9), adenosine triphosphate production (ATPase 6), and antiapoptotic process (NAIP), in human GV oocytes were significantly higher in the GnRH-anta group than in the GnRH-a group in COS. Higher expression level of these genes when GnRH-ant protocol is applied, this protocol seems to be a more appropriate choice for women with poly cystic ovarian syndrome, because it can probably improve the expression of the aforementioned genes.Trial registrationCurrent Controlled Trials: IRCT 2014031112307 N3.
