Exceptional longevity of ovarian and oocyte macromolecules throughout the reproductive lifespan of mammals

ABSTRACT: The mechanisms contributing to age-related deterioration of the female reproductive system are complex but aberrant protein homeostasis is a major contributor. We elucidated the exceptionally stable proteins, structures, and macromolecules that persist in ovaries and gametes throughout the reproductive aging timeline in mammals. Ovaries exhibit localized structural and cell-type specific enrichment of stable macromolecules throughout both the follicular and extrafollicular environments. Moreover, both ovaries and oocytes harbor a panel of exceptionally long-lived proteins, including cytoskeletal components, mitochondrial, and oocyte-derived proteins. The exceptional persistence of these long-lived molecules might play a critical role in both lifelong maintenance and age-dependent deterioration of reproductive tissues.

Enhanced Branched-Chain Amino Acid Metabolism Improves 7 Age-Related Reproduction

Project description:Reproductive aging is one of the earliest human aging phenotypes, and mitochondrial dysfunction has been linked to a decline in oocyte quality. However, it is not known which mitochondrial metabolic processes are critical for oocyte quality maintenance with age. To understand how mitochondrial processes contribute to C. elegans oocyte quality, we characterized the mitochondrial proteomes of young and aged wild-type and long-reproductive daf-2 mutants. The mitochondrial proteomic profiles of young wild-type and daf-2 worms are similar and share upregulation of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism pathway enzymes. Reduction of bcat-1 shortens reproduction, elevates mitochondrial ROS levels, and shifts mitochondrial localization. Moreover, bcat-1 knockdown decreases daf-2’s oocyte quality and reduces reproductive capability, indicating the importance of this pathway in the maintenance of oocyte quality with age. Importantly, we can delay oocyte quality deterioration and extend reproduction in wild-type animals both by bcat-1 overexpression and by supplementing with Vitamin B1, a cofactor needed for BCAA metabolism.

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.

The maintenance of oocytes in the mammalian ovary involves extreme protein longevity

Project description:In mammals, oocytes are formed in the female embryo and need to be preserved in the ovary to ensure the viability of the next generation. How oocytes are maintained for decades is unclear. Here, we combined pulse-chase stable isotope labelling coupled with mass spectrometry, single-cell RNA-seq, microscopy and NanoSims to create an atlas of protein homeostasis in mouse oocytes and ovaries over the entire reproductive lifespan. Our results show that protein turnover in the ovary is much slower than in other organs, with hundreds of extremely long-lived proteins across a broad range of complexes and pathways, including mitochondria, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton. We propose that slow protein turnover helps to maintain proteostasis in oocytes and the ovary over long periods, protecting the germline across generations.

Single-oocyte transcriptome analysis reveals aging-associated effects influenced by life stage and calorie restriction

Project description:Chromosome segregation errors in oocytes lead to the production of aneuploid eggs, which are the leading cause of pregnancy loss and of several congenital diseases such as Down syndrome. The frequency of chromosome segregation errors in oocytes increases with maternal age, especially at a late stage of reproductive life. How aging at various life stages affects oocytes differently remains poorly understood. In this study, we describe aging-associated changes in the transcriptome profile of mouse oocytes throughout reproductive life. Our single-oocyte comprehensive RNA sequencing using RamDA-seq revealed that oocytes undergo transcriptome changes at a late reproductive stage, whereas their surrounding cumulus cells exhibit transcriptome changes at an earlier stage. Calorie restriction, a paradigm that reportedly prevents aging-associated egg aneuploidy, promotes a transcriptome shift in oocytes with the up-regulation of genes involved in chromosome segregation. This shift is accompanied by the improved maintenance of chromosomal cohesin, the loss of which is a hallmark of oocyte aging and causes chromosome segregation errors. These findings have implications for understanding how oocytes undergo aging-associated functional decline throughout their reproductive life in a context-dependent manner.

Expression data of age-specific ovaries in rhesus monkey

Project description:The biological function of human ovaries declines with increasing age. Moreover, disorders that cause reproductive failure, such as premature ovarian failure (POF), seriously affect the female health and may be related to abnormal gene expression in the ovaries. The objective of this study was to generate the gene expression proM-oM-,M-^Ales of ovaries in rhesus monkeys of different ages, so as to identify age-related changes in the ovaries and understand their significance in various human reproductive problems. Ovaries were obtained from young (Y, 3 to 4 years), middle-age (M, 7 to 8 years) and old (O, 18 to 19 years) monkeys, and each group had 3 monkey replications. Half of ovary from each monkey was isolated mRNA for whole genome gene expression microarray analysis to detect differentially expressed genes, and followed by the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses by using a free web-based Molecular Annotation System 3.0 (MAS 3.0).

TGF-beta Sma/Mab signaling regulates a set of genes in oocytes associated with reproductive aging and another set in L4 associated with body size growth

Project description:Reproductive cessation is perhaps the earliest aging phenotypes humans experience. Similarly, C. elegans' reproduction ceases in mid-adulthood. Although somatic aging has been studied in both worms and humans, mechanisms regulating reproductive aging are not yet understood. Here we show that TGF-beta Sma/Mab activity regulates reproductive aging transcriptionally separable from its regulation of body size growth. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE23446: Reproductive aging: sma-2;fem-1 day 8 oocyte vs fem-1 day 8 oocyte GSE23447: Reproductive aging: fem-1 day 3 oocyte vs fem-1 day 8 oocyte GSE23448: Body size regulation and TGF-beta Sma/Mab pathway: sma L4 vs N2 L4 Refer to individual Series

Hypoglycosylated FSH enhances oocyte quality via increased cell-to-cell interaction during mouse follicle development

Project description:Differences in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) ß-subunit N-glycosylation results in distinct FSH glycoforms. Hypoglycosylated FSH21 is more bioactive and abundant in reproductively young women, whereas fully glycosylated FSH24 shows lower bioactivity and a relative increase with age. To investigate if the coinciding shift in FSH glycoform abundance contributes to the age-dependent decline in oocyte quality, an encapsulated in vitro follicle growth system was utilized to examine the direct effects of FSH glycoforms on folliculogenesis and resulting oocyte quality. Long-term culture (10-12 days) with FSH21 (10 ng/ml) enhanced follicle growth, estradiol secretion, and oocyte quality compared to equivalent FSH24 treatment. FSH21 exhibited enhanced capacity to establish transzonal projections, gap junctions, and cell-to-cell communication within 24 hrs in culture. Transient inhibition of FSH21-mediated bidirectional communication abrogated the positive effects of FSH21 on follicle growth, estradiol secretion and oocyte quality. These findings indicate FSH21 promotes folliculogenesis and oocyte quality in vitro through increasing cell-to-cell communication early in folliculogenesis and that the shift in abundance from FSH21 to FSH24 with reproductive aging could contribute to the age-dependent decline in oocyte quality.

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
