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.

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.

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.

Transportation stress suppress reproductive performance in female mice and relevant genes detection

Project description:Animals in transport are exposed to both psychological and physical stressors, which affect performance and health. The objectives of this study were to investigate whether and how the transportation stress effect on female reproduction in mice, and detect differentially expressed genes association with stress response and reproductive capacity utilizing gene expression profiles. After transported mice by car to and from laboratory for a total period of 10 h, nearly 1000 km distance, measurements were carried out to explore effects of transportation stress on reproductive traits including puberty, estrous cycle, follicular number within ovaries, fertility and superovulation quality. Early life stress suffered mice before puberty promoted puberty onset, altered estrous cycle length and reduced large antral follicle number. Pubertal and adult mice exposure to transportation stress induced their pregnancy rate decline. Furthermore, adult stressed mice showed an obvious reduction in fertility with less litter size and litter weight in birth, which may cause reduced ovulation oocytes identified by superovulation. Assuming ovulated oocytes number as reproductive parameter, genes differently expressed between mice with extremely high and extremely low oocytes were compared within control and stress group separately.

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.

Asynchronous female reproductive organ ageing as revealed by single-cell transcriptomic atlas

Project description:Successful pregnancies require fine coordination among the reproductive organs. Reproductive research has focused on ovarian ageing, the uterus and oviduct have received much less attention; whether these organs age synchronously with the ovaries remains unclear. Here, we established a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the ovary, oviduct, and uterus across the murine reproductive lifespan. Organ–organ communication patterns were identified using cell-specific hormone receptor analysis. The ageing hallmarks (including DNA damage, cellular senescence, and apoptosis, etc.) were evaluated for each cell type. Analysis of these ageing-related gene set scores combined with changes in morphology and molecular signatures revealed that the ovary aged earlier and faster than the oviduct and uterus; this was also confirmed in human reproductive tissues. Our single-cell transcriptomic atlas provides molecular insights into reproductive ageing and its asynchronization for the reproductive organs across the murine reproductive lifespan, which may reveal the causes of declining fertility at advanced ages.

Immature follicular origins and disrupted oocyte growth pathways contribute to decreased gamete quality during reproductive juvenescence in mice

Project description:Egg quality dictates fertility outcomes, and although there is a well-documented decline with advanced reproductive age, how it changes during puberty is less understood. Such knowledge is critical, since advances in Assisted Reproductive Technologies are enabling pre- and peri-pubertal patients to preserve fertility in the medical setting. Therefore, we investigated egg quality parameters in a mouse model of the pubertal transition or juvenescence (postnatal day; PND 11-40). Animal weight, vaginal opening, serum inhibin B levels, oocyte yield, oocyte diameter, and zona pellucida thickness increased with age. After PND 15, there was an age-associated ability of oocytes to resume meiosis and reach metaphase of meiosis II (MII) following in vitro maturation (IVM). However, eggs from the younger cohort (PND 16-20) had significantly more chromosome configuration abnormalities relative to the older cohorts and many were at telophase I instead of MII, indicative of a cell cycle delay. Oocytes from the youngest mouse cohorts originated from the smallest antral follicles with the fewest cumulus layers per oocyte, suggesting a more developmentally immature state. RNA Seq analysis of oocytes from mice at distinct ages revealed that the genes involved in cellular growth signaling pathways (PI3K, mTOR, and Hippo) were consistently repressed with meiotic competence, whereas genes involved in cellular communication were upregulated in oocytes with age. Taken together, these data demonstrate that gametes harvested during the pubertal transition have low meiotic maturation potential and derive from immature follicular origins.

HLH-30/TFEB is a master regulator of reproductive quiescence

Project description:All animals have evolved the ability to survive nutrient deprivation, and nutrient signaling pathways are conserved modulators of health and disease. In C. elegans, late-larval starvation provokes adult reproductive diapause (ARD), a long-lived quiescent state that enables animals to survive months without food, yet underlying molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we show that ARD is distinct from other forms of diapause, and shows surprisingly little requirement for canonical longevity pathways, autophagy and fat metabolism. Instead ARD depends dramatically on HLH-30/TFEB transcription factor to promote morphologic and metabolic remodeling involved in ARD entry, survival, and recovery, suggesting it is a master regulator of reproductive quiescence. TFEB transcriptome and genetic analyses reveal that Max-like HLH factors, mTOR, AMP-kinase, protein synthesis, and mitochondrial fusion are target processes that promote ARD longevity. Evidently reproductive quiescence rewires metabolism in unique ways to ensure long-term survival, and could illuminate similar mechanisms acting in latent tumorigenesis, and long-term fasting.

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 proﬁles 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.

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
