Dynamic mRNA Degradome Analyses Indicate a Role of Histone H3K4 Trimethylation in Association with Meiosis-coupled mRNA Decay in Oocyte Aging

ABSTRACT: A decrease in oocyte developmental potential is a major obstacle for successful pregnancy in women of advanced age. However, the age-related epigenetic modifications associated with dynamic transcriptome changes, particularly meiotic maturation-coupled mRNA clearance, have not been adequately characterized in human oocytes. This study demonstrate a decreased storage of transcripts encoding key factors regulating the maternal mRNA degradome in fully grown oocytes of women of advanced age. A similar defect in meiotic maturation-triggered mRNA clearance was also detected in aged mouse oocytes. Mechanistically, the epigenetic and cytoplasmic aspects of oocyte maturation are synchronized in both the normal development and aging processes. The level of histone H3K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) was high in fully grown mouse and human oocytes derived from young females but decreased during aging due to the decreased expression of epigenetic factors responsible for H3K4me3 accumulation. Oocyte-specific knockout of the gene encoding CxxC-finger protein 1 (CXXC1), a DNA-binding subunit of SETD1 methyltransferase, caused ooplasm changes associated with accelerated aging and impaired maternal mRNA translation and degradation. These results suggest that a network of CXXC1-maintained H3K4me3, in association with mRNA decay competence, sets a timer for oocyte deterioration and plays a role in oocyte aging in both mouse and human oocytes.

Role of CxxC-finger Protein 1 in the Establishment of Epigenetic Landscapes in Mouse Oocytes

Project description:During oogenesis, oocytes gain competence to accomplish meiotic maturation and prepare for embryonic development following fertilization. Trimethylated histone H3 on lysine-4 (H3K4me3) mediates a wide range of nuclear events during these processes. Oocyte-specific knockout of CxxC-finger protein 1 (CXXC1, also known as CFP1), the chromatin-binding subunit of SETD1 methyltransferase, impairs the H3K4me3 accumulation during murine oogenesis and caused changes in chromatin configurations. This study investigated the changes of genomic H3K4me3 landscapes in oocytes after Cxxc1 knockout, as well as the influences of H3K4me3 changes on other epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, H3K27me3, H2AK119ub1, and H3K36me3. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing results indicated that H3K4me3 is globally decreased after abolishing Cxxc1, including both the promoter region and the gene body. The results also demonstrate that CXXC1 and another histone H3 methyltransferase MLL2 have nonoverlapping roles in mediating H3K4 trimethylation during oogenesis. In addition, Cxxc1 deletion caused a significant decrease of DNA methylation level in oocytes, and affected H3K27me3 and H2AK119ub1 distributions in the maternal genome, particularly at the regions that have high DNA methylation levels. The changes of epigenetic networks caused by Cxxc1 deletion correlated with transcription changes of the genes in the corresponding genomic regions. Taken together, this study provided mechanistic explanations underlying the phenotypes and molecular defects in Cxxc1 deleted oocytes, and highlighted a role of CXXC1 in orchestrating multiple factors to build up the appropriate epigenetic states of maternal genome during oocyte maturation.

LSM14B is essential for oocyte meiotic maturation by regulating maternal mRNA storage and clearance

Project description:Fully grown oocytes remain transcriptionally quiescent, yet many maternal mRNAs are synthesized and retained in growing oocytes. We now know that maternal mRNAs are stored in a structure called the mitochondria associated ribonucleoprotein domain (MARDO). But the components and functions of MARDO remain elusive. Here, we found that LSM14B knockout prevents the proper storage and timely clearance of mRNAs (including Cyclin B1, Btg4, and other mRNAs that are translationally activated during meiotic maturation), specifically by disrupting MARDO assembly during oocyte growth and meiotic maturation. With decreased levels of storage and clearance, the LSM14B knockout oocytes failed to enter meiosis II, ultimately resulting in female infertility. Our results demonstrate the function of LSM14B in MARDO assembly, couple the MARDO with mRNA clearance and oocyte meiotic maturation

Rejuvenation of aged oocyte through exposure to young follicular microenvironment

Project description:Reproductive aging is a major cause of fertility decline, attributed to decreased oocyte quantity and competence. Follicular somatic cells play crucial roles in the growth and development of the oocyte by providing nutrients and regulatory factors. Here we investigated how oocyte quality is affected by its somatic cell environment by creating chimeric follicles, whereby an oocyte from one follicle was transplanted into and cultured within another follicle whose native oocyte was removed. Somatic cells within the chimeric follicle re-establish connections with the oocyte and support oocyte growth and maturation in a three-dimensional (3D) culture system. We show that young oocytes transplanted into aged follicles exhibited reduced meiotic maturation and developmental potential, whereas the young follicular environment significantly improved the rates of maturation, blastocyst formation and live birth of aged oocytes. Aged oocytes cultured within young follicles exhibited enhanced interaction with somatic cells, more youth-like transcriptome, remodelled metabolome, improved mitochondrial function, and enhanced fidelity of meiotic chromosome segregation. These findings provide the basis for a future follicular somatic cell-based therapy to treat age-associated female infertility.

Granulosa cell mevalonate pathway abnormalities contribute to oocyte meiotic defects and aneuploidy [HiC GGOH-treatment]

Project description:The mechanisms of aging-related oocyte aneuploidy remain elusive. Hi-C and SMART-seq revealed aging-related decreases in chromosome condensation, particularly for genomic regions proximal to the centromeres, accompanied with disrupted meiosis-associated gene expression in metaphase I (MI) aged oocytes. Further transcriptomic analysis showed that oocyte meiotic maturation was correlated with robust increases in mevalonate (MVA) pathway gene expression in young oocyte-surrounding granulosa cells (GCs), which was largely downregulated in aged GCs. Inhibtion of MVA metabolism in GCs by statins resulted in marked meiotic defects and aneuploidy in young cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs). Conversely, supplementation with the MVA isoprenoid geranylgeraniol ameliorated meiotic defects and aneuploidy in aged COCs. Meanwhile, geranylgeraniol also activated LHR/EGF signaling in aged GCs and then enhanced the meiosis-associated gene expression in oocytes. Generally, the MVA pathway in GCs is a critical regulator of meiotic maturation and euploidy in oocytes.

Granulosa cell mevalonate pathway abnormalities contribute to oocyte meiotic defects and aneuploidy [RNA-seq Human Granulosa cells]

Project description:The mechanisms of oocyte meiotic defects and low competence during ovarian aging remains elusive for decades. Using Hi-C (genome-wide chromatin conformation capture) and Smart RNA-seq of oocytes from 6- weeks or 10- months aged ovaries, the abnormal loose chromatin structures and disturbing expression of meiosis associated genes at metaphase I phase were disclosed. Furthermore, the transcriptomic landscape of granulosa cells (GCs) surrounding oocytes from young and aged ovaries reveled that oocyte meiotic maturation was accompanied with a robust increased expression of genes involved with the mevalonate (MVA) pathway in GCs from young ovaries but these genes expression was not upregulated to counterpart level in GCs from aged ovaries.The inhibitor of MVA pathway of GCs, Statins significantly decreased polar body extrusion rate and increased the rate of irregularly assembled spindles and misaligned chromosomes remarkably in oocytes of culumus-oocyte complex (COCs) from young ovaries . Correspondingly, the activitor of MVA pathway of GCs, Geranylgeraniol ameliorated ovarian reserve and reduced meiotic defects in oocytes of COCs from aged ovaries. Mechanistically, MVA pathway activation in GCs culminated oocyte meiotic maturation by upregulating EGF signaling via LH receptor on GCs surrounding oocytes. Together, MVA pathway is a promising therapeutic target for prompting quality of oocytes from aged ovaries.
