PRC1-mediated epigenetic programming is required to generate the ovarian reserve

ABSTRACT: The ovarian reserve defines the female reproductive lifespan, which in humans spans decades due to robust maintenance of meiotic arrest in oocytes residing in primordial follicles. Epigenetic reprogramming, including DNA demethylation, accompanies meiotic entry, but the chromatin changes that underpin the generation and preservation of ovarian reserves are poorly defined. We report that the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) establishes repressive chromatin states in perinatal mouse oocytes that directly suppress the gene expression program of meiotic prophase-I and thereby enable the transition to dictyate arrest. PRC1 dysfuction causes depletion of the ovarian reserve and leads to premature ovarian failure. Our study demonstrates a fundamental role for PRC1-mediated gene silencing in female reproductive lifespan, and reveals a critical window of epigenetic programming required to establish ovarian reserve.

CD38 regulates ovarian function and fecundity via NAD metabolism

Project description:Mammalian female reproductive lifespan is typically significantly shorter than life expectancy and is associated with a decrease in ovarian NAD levels. However, the mechanisms underlying this loss of ovarian NAD are unclear. Here, we show that CD38, a NAD consuming enzyme, is expressed in the ovarian extrafollicular space, primarily in immune cells, and its levels increase with reproductive age. Reproductively young mice lacking CD38 exhibit larger primordial follicle pools, elevated ovarian NAD levels, and increased fecundity relative to wild type controls. This larger ovarian reserve results from a prolonged window of follicle formation during early development. However, the beneficial effect of CD38 loss on reproductive function is not maintained at advanced age. Our results demonstrate a novel role of CD38 in regulating ovarian NAD metabolism and establishing the ovarian reserve, a critical process that dictates a female reproductive lifespan.

Gene expression changes in ovaries of oocyte-specific conditional knockout of Ubc9 in juvenile mice

Project description:The reproductive lifespan in mammals is largely determined by the abundance and quality of oocytes residing within the primoridial ovarian follicular pool. Critical oocyte-expressed genes driving ovarian function have been identified, buta role for post-translational modifications, such as SUMOylation of these key factors is not well understood. Oocyte-specific genetic ablation of the sole E2 SUMOylation enzyme, UBC9, cause female sterility. Preantral and antral stage ovarian follicles are depleted by sexual maturity, and loss of the ovarian reserve in early adulthood causes premature ovarian failure, a condition associated with infertility in women. Gene expression changes indicate atered function of multiple POI candidate genes, including the transcription factors, NOBOX and SOHLH1. Together, these studies show that SUMOylation is required in the mammalian oocyte for regulating key genetic determinants of oocyte growth and differentiation.

Constitutively Active Foxo3 in Oocytes Preserves Ovarian Reserve in Mice

Project description:During female reproductive life, the reserve of ovarian follicles is reduced by maturation and atresia until menopause ensues. Foxo3 is required to maintain the ovarian reserve in mice. We asked if overexpression of a constitutively active FOXO3 protein can increase long-lasting ovarian reproductive capacity in mice.

The transcriptome of human oocytes is related to age and ovarian reserve.

Project description:Although it is well established that the ovarian reserve diminishes with increasing age, and that a woman’s age is correlated to lower oocyte quality, the interplay of a diminished reserve and age on oocyte developmental competence is not clear. After maturation, oocytes are mostly transcriptionally quiescent, and developmental competence prior to embryonic genome activation (EGA) relies on maternal RNA and proteins. Age and ovarian reserve both affects oocyte developmental competence, however, their relative importance in this process are difficult to tease out, as ageing is accompanied by a decrease in ovarian reserve. Oocytes store large quantities of RNA, including several noncoding transcripts (ncRNAs) involved in early development transcription and translation modulation. Despite the central role of ncRNAs in maternal to zygote transition, no characterization of the ncRNA transcriptome in human oocytes has been reported. This study aims at identifying how the human oocyte transcriptome changes across reproductive ages and ovarian reserve levels, with the goal of identifying candidate markers of developmental competence, and to assess the independent relevance of age and ovarian reserve in the changes of the transcriptome

Lhx8 ablation leads to massive autophagy of mouse oocytes associated with DNA damage

Project description:Following proliferation of oogonia inmammals, great numbers of germ cells are discarded, primarily by apoptosis, while the remainder form primordial follicles (the ovarian reserve) that determine fertility and reproductive lifespan. More massive, rapid, and essentially total loss of oocytes, however, occurs when the transcription factor Lhx8 is ablated—though the cause and mechanism of germ cell loss from the Lhx8-/- ovaries has been unknown. We found that Lhx8−/− ovaries maintain the same number of germ cells throughout embryonic development; rapid decrease in the pool of oocytes starts shortly before birth. The loss results from activation of autophagy, which becomes overwhelming within the first postnatal week, with extracellular matrix proteins filling the space previously occupied by follicles to produce a fibrotic ovary. Associated with this process, as early as a few days before birth, Lhx8-/- oocytes failed to repair DNA damage—which normally occurs when meiosis is initiated during embryonic development; and DNA damage repair genes were downregulated throughout the oocyte short lifespan. Based on gene expression analyses and morphological changes, we propose a model in which lineage-restricted failure of DNA repair triggers germ cell autophagy, causing premature depletion of the ovarian reserve in Lhx8-/- mice

Nicotinamide mononucleotide supplementation reverses the declining quality of maternally aged oocytes

Project description:Advanced maternal age, defined as 35 years or older, is associated with a decline in both ovarian reserve and oocyte quality, which leads to the female infertility, pregnancy loss, fetal anomalies, stillbirth, and obstetric complications. At present, the effective approaches to counteract the maternal age-related decay of oocyte quality are still not fully determined. Here, we report that in vivo supplementation of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) efficaciously ameliorates the quality of oocytes from naturally aged mice by recovering nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) levels in oocytes. NMN supplementation increases the number of antral follicles, ovulated oocytes and matured oocytes from aged mice. Specifically, NMN supplementation maintains the normal spindle/chromosome structure and dynamics of cortical granule component ovastacin to ensure the meiotic competency and fertilization ability of aged oocytes. Moreover, single cell transcriptome analysis shows that the beneficial effect of NMN on the aged oocytes is mediated by the restoration of the mitochondrial function, thereby reducing the accumulated ROS to suppress the occurrence of apoptosis. To sum up, our data reveal that supplementation of NMN is a feasible approach to prevent oocyte quality from advanced maternal age-related deterioration, contributing to improve the reproductive outcome of aged women and the assisted reproductive technology.

small non-coding RNA sequencing of human cumulus cells from patients with or without Diminished ovarian reserve

Project description:This group consist of human embryologists from the reproductive medical center for of the 1st affiliated hospital of Anhui Medical University. Our research is specifically focused on women ovarian reserve and the relevant female infertility. By deep sequencing, the current experiment determined the small non-coding RNA profile of cumulus cells from patients with or without diminished ovarian reserve undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation and in vitro fertilization treatment. Ovarian follicles, which are a densely-packed shell of granulosa cells that contains an immature or mature oocyte, are above all responsible for the development, maturation, and release of mature egg for fertilization. They are also responsible for synthesizing and secreting hormones that are essential for follicular development, menstrual and estrous cycle, maintenance of the reproductive tracts and their functions, development of female secondary sex characteristics, and metabolism. During folliculogenesis, ovarian granulosa cells surrounding the oocyte differentiate into mural granulosa cells, involved in gonadal steroidogenesis, and into cumulus cells, which are ovulated with the oocyte at ovulation. In the present study, we described the small non-coding RNA expression profile to characterize the ensemble of both known and novel ncRNAs expressed in cumulus cells from patients with or without Diminished ovarian reserve, by using high-throughput Solexa technology.

Polyamine metabolite spermidine rejuvenates the oocyte quality by enhancing mitophagy during female reproductive aging

Project description:Advanced age is a primary risk factor for female infertility due to reduced ovarian reserve and declining oocyte quality. However, as an important contributing factor, the role of metabolic regulation during reproductive aging is poorly understood. Here, we applied untargeted metabolomics to identify spermidine as a critical metabolite in ovaries to protect oocytes against aging. In particular, we found that spermidine level was reduced in aged ovaries and supplementation of spermidine promoted follicle development, oocyte maturation, early embryonic development and female fertility of aged mice. By micro-transcriptomic analysis, we further discovered that recovery of oocyte quality by spermidine was mediated by enhancement of mitophagy activity and mitochondrial function in aged mice, and this action mechanism was conserved in porcine oocytes under oxidative stress. Altogether, our findings demonstrate that spermidine supplementation is a potentially effective strategy to ameliorate oocyte quality and reproductive outcome of women at an advanced age.
