Obesity modulates cell-cell interactions during ovarian folliculogenesis

ABSTRACT: Obesity is known to affect female reproduction, as evidenced by obese patients suffering from subfertility and abnormal oogenesis. However, the underlying mechanisms by which obesity impairs folliculogenesis are poorly documented. Here, we performed comprehensive single-cell transcriptome analysis in both regular diet (RD) and obese mouse models to systematically uncover how obesity affects ovarian follicle cells and their interactions. We found an increased proportion of Inhbb highly expressed granulosa cells (GCs) among all the GC subpopulations in obese mice. Under obese conditions, excessive androgen secreted from endocrine theca cells (ETCs) may contribute to the imbalanced change of GC subtypes through ETCs-GCs interactions. This is alleviated by enzalutamide, an androgen receptor antagonist. We also identified and confirmed typical GC markers, such as Marcks and Prkar2b, for sensitive evaluation of female fertility in obesity. These data represent a resource for studying transcriptional networks and cell-cell interactions during folliculogenesis under physiological and pathological conditions.

Transcriptome Landscape of Human Folliculogenesis Reveals Oocytes and Granulosa Cells Interactions

Project description:The dynamic transcriptional regulation and interactions of human germlines and surrounding somatic cells during folliculogenesis remains unknown. Using RNA-Seq analysis of human oocytes and corresponding granulosa cells (GCs) spanning five follicular stages, we revealed unique features in transcriptional machinery, transcription factor networks and reciprocal interactions in human oocytes and GCs that displayed developmental-stage-specific expression patterns. Notably, we identified specific gene signatures of two cell types in particular developmental stage that may reflect developmental competency and ovarian reserve. Additionally, we uncovered key pathways that may concert germline-somatic interactions and drive the transition of primordial-to-primary follicle which represents follicle activation. Thus, our work provides key insights into the crucial features of the transcriptional regulation in the stepwise folliculogenesis and offers important clues for improving follicle recruitment in-vivo and restoring fully competent oocytes in-vitro.

Interactions between different maturation states of oocytes and granulosa cells in human antral follicles identified by single-cell transcriptomics

Project description:Human ovarian folliculogenesis is an highly regulated and complex process. Characterization of follicular cell signatures during this dynamic process is important to understand follicle fate (to grow, become dominant or undergo atresia). The transcriptional signature of human oocytes and granulosa cells (GC) in early-growing and ovulatory follicles have been previously described, however that of oocytes with surrounding GCs in small antral follicles have not been studied yet. Here, we have generated a unique dataset of single-cell transcriptomics (SmartSeq2) consisting of the oocyte with surrounding GCs from several individual (non-dominant) small antral follicles isolated from adult human ovaries. We have identified two main types of (healthy) follicles, with a distinct oocyte and GC signature. Using the CellphoneDB algorithm, we then investigated the bi-directional ligand-receptor interactions regarding the TGFβ/BMP, WNT, NOTCH, and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) signaling pathways between oocyte and GCs within each antral follicle type. Our work not only revealed the diversity of small antral follicles but also contributes to fill the gap in mapping the molecular landscape of human folliculogenesis and oogenesis.

Dynamic transcriptome and chromatin architecture in granulosa cells during chicken folliculogenesis

Project description:Ovarian follicle development is a complex and well-orchestrated biological process. Granulosa cells (GCs) are the most important somatic cells in the ovary, which play important roles in the growth of follicles. Three-dimensional (3D) chromatin architecture has emerged as an important regulator of transcription in eukaryote, but how these changes in granulosa cells during folliculogenesis of chicken are largely unexplored. Here, we performed an integrative analysis of transcriptomic and chromatin structural characterization for chicken follicular granulosa cells of 10 and 3 growth stages respectively.

overview of gene expression dynamics during sheep early ovarian folliculogenesis

Project description:Separate transcription profiling of oocytes and granulosa cells for each follicle stage: primordial (PD), primary (PM), secondary (SC) follicles and the small antral stage (SA) obtained by Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) and RNAseq. The purpose of this study was to describe global gene expression during early ovarian folliculogenesis for each follicular compartment, to identify differential and specific gene expression between the 2 follicular compartments and during follicular development, to investigate specific function and pathways and to explore bi-directional communication between oocytes and GC.

Transcriptomic Signatures of WNT-Driven Pathways and Granulosa Cell-Oocyte Interaction during Primordial Follicle Activation

Project description:Primordial follicle activation (PFA) is a pivotal event in female reproductive biology, orchestrating the transition from quiescent to growing follicles. This study employed comprehensive single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate the transcriptomic landscape of ovarian cells, focusing on the process of PFA. The aim of our study was to gain insights into the detailed regulatory mechanisms governing synchronized dormancy and activation between granulosa cells (GCs) and oocytes with decomposition of the PFA process. The Wntless (Wls) conditional knockout (cKO) mouse served as a unique model, suppressing the transition from pre-GC to GC, and disrupting somatic cell-derived WNT signaling in the ovary. Our data revealed immediate transcriptomic changes in GCs post-PFA in Wls cKO mice, leading to a divergent trajectory, while oocytes exhibited modest transcriptomic alterations. Subpopulation analysis identified molecular pathways affected by WNT signaling on GC maturation, along with specific gene signatures linked to dormant and activated oocytes. Despite minimal evidence of continuous up-regulation of dormancy-related genes in oocytes, loss of WNT signaling in (pre-)GCs impacted gene expression on oocytes even before PFA, subsequently influencing them globally. The infertility observed in Wls cKO mice was attributed to compromised GC-oocyte molecular crosstalk and a microenvironment for oocytes. Our study highlights the pivotal role of the WNT-signaling pathway and its molecular signature, emphasizing the importance of intercellular crosstalk between (pre-)GCs and oocytes in orchestrating folliculogenesis.

Obesity and sex hormones interact to promote CSF hyperdynamics in an obese rodent model of idiopathic intracranial hypertension

Project description:Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a syndrome exhibiting elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), visual disturbances, and severe headache. IIH primarily affects young obese women, though it can occur in individuals of any age, BMI, and sex. IIH is characterized by systemic metabolic dysregulation with a profile of increased androgen hormones. However, the contributions of obesity/hormonal perturbations to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics remains unresolved. We employed obese female Zucker rats and adjuvant testosterone to reveal IIH causal drivers. ICP and CSF dynamics were determined with in vivo experimentation and magnetic resonance imaging, testosterone levels assessed with mass spectrometry, and choroid plexus function revealed with transcriptomics. Obese rats had undisturbed CSF testosterone levels and no changes in ICP or CSF dynamics. Chronic adjuvant testosterone treatment of obese rats elevated the CSF secretion rate, although with no effect on the ICP, due to the elevated CSF drainage capacity of these rats. Obesity in itself therefore does not suffice to recapitulate the IIH symptoms, but modulation of CSF dynamics comes about with adjuvant testosterone treatment, mimicking the androgen excess observed in female IIH patients. Obesity-induced androgen dysregulation may thus play a crucial role in the disease mechanism of IIH.

Yakimchuk2019 - Mathematical modeling of immune modulation by glucocorticoids

Project description:Mathematical modeling of immune modulation by glucocorticoids Konstantin Yakimchuk https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystems.2019.104066 Abstract The cellular and molecular mechanisms of immunomodulatory actions of glucocorticoids (GC) remain to be identified. Using our experimental findings, a mathematical model based on a system of ordinary differential equations for characterization of the regulation of anti-tumor immune activity by the both direct and indirect GC effects was generated to study the effects of GC treatment on effector CD8+ T cells, GC-generated tolerogenic dendritic cells (DC), regulatory T cells and the growth of lymphoma cells. In addition, we compared the data from in vivo and in silico experiments. The mathematical simulations indicated that treatment with GCs may suppress anti-tumor immune response in a dose-dependent manner. The model simulations were in line with earlier experimental observations of inhibitory effects of GCs on T and NK cells and DCs. The results of this study might be useful for predicting clinical outcomes in patients receiving GC therapy.
