Project description:Women with cancer and low ovarian reserves face serious challenges in infertility treatment. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is currently used for such patients to preserve fertility. One major challenge is the activation of dormant ovarian follicles, which is hampered by our limited biological understanding of molecular determinants that activate dormant follicles and help maintain healthy follicles during growth. Here, we investigated the transcriptomes of oocytes isolated from dormant (primordial) and activated (primary) follicles under in vivo and in vitro conditions. We compared the biological relevance of the initial molecular markers of mature metaphase II (MII) oocytes developed in vivo or in vitro. The expression levels of genes involved in the cell cycle, signal transduction, and Wnt signaling were highly enriched in oocytes from primary follicles and MII oocytes. Interestingly, we detected strong downregulation of the expression of genes involved in mitochondrial and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in oocytes from primordial follicles, in contrast to oocytes from primary follicles and MII oocytes. Our results showed a dynamic pattern in mitochondrial and ROS production-related genes, emphasizing their important role(s) in primordial follicle activation and oocyte maturation. The transcriptome of MII oocytes showed a major divergence from that of oocytes of primordial and primary follicles.

Project description:A microarray study to compare gene expression during ovarian follicle development to better understand transcriptional changes during follicular growth. Multi-layered secondary follicles (150-180 M-BM-5m in diameter) were mechanically isolated from ovaries of 16-day old CD-1 mice and individually encapsulated in 0.5% alginate. Follicles were culture for up to 8 days. Day 0 samples correspond to follicles that were isolated and immediately frozen. Samples were collected after 0, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 days in culture in triplicate and day 0 was collected 5 times.

Project description:Harmful algal blooms (HABs) arise from the rapid growth of algae in both marine and freshwater ecosystems due to the continuous global temperature rise and anthropogenic eutrophication. Humans are at a great risk of exposure to toxins released from HABs through drinking water, food, and recreational activities, making HAB toxins contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). The impact of HAB toxins on women’s reproductive health, however, remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the effects of microcystin-LR (MC-LR), the most common HAB toxin, on the ovary, the female gonad, and associated ovarian functions. The results of a chronic daily oral mouse exposure model and an acute exposure using the mouse superovulation model revealed that MC-LR accumulated in the ovary and environmentally-relevant exposure to MC-LR perturbed follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)-dependent follicle maturation to disrupt ovulation and luteinization. Using an ex vivo mouse follicle maturation and ovulation assay and in vitro culture of human primary granulosa cells, mechanistic studies such as the single-follicle RNA sequencing analysis and others elucidated that MC-LR inhibited protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and interfered with PP1-mediated PI3K/AKT/FOXO1 signaling in granulosa cells, which suppressed follicle maturation, ovulation, luteinization, and progesterone secretion. Together, our study demonstrates that environmentally-relevant exposure to MC-LR acts a PP1 inhibitor to interfere with the PI3K/AKT/FOXO1 signaling in granulosa cells, which disrupts follicle maturation and results in adverse female reproductive outcomes. As a newly identified ovarian endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC), exposure to MC-LR poses a serious threat to women’s reproductive health and fertility.

Project description:Maturation of oocytes under in-vitro conditions (IVM) results in impaired developmental competence compared to oocytes matured in-vivo. Oocytes are closely coupled to their cumulus complex (COC) with a bidirectional exchange of metabolites. Therefore, elucidation of aberrations in cumulus metabolism in-vitro is crucial for a better mimicking of physiological maturation conditions. The aim of this study was the analysis of the equine cumulus cells proteome of single cumulus complexes of metaphase II oocytes matured either under in-vivo (n=8) or in-vitro (n=7) conditions. For in-vivo COC collection mares were slaughtered 30 hours after injection and cumulus complexes from the dominant follicle were harvested for analysis. For in-vitro maturation COCs were recovered from mares out of oestrous and matured for 30 hours in-vitro. COCs were separated in cumulus complexes and oocytes, and only cumulus of successfully matured oocytes was analyzed for this study. All cumulus samples were washed, snap frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen until preparation for analysis.

Project description:A key transition in ovarian follicular development is the activation of resting primordial follicles to the growing primary follicle stage. The signals that regulate activation are still not well understood, especially in non-rodent species. we combined a microarray approach with an in vitro system to gain insight into the regulation of follicle activation. Genes and pathways identified in this study provide interesting candidates for further investigation of mechanisms underlying follicle activation. Fetal bovine ovarian cortical pieces enriched for primordial or primary follicles were obtained by culture with cotrol medium supplemented with TS+ (transferrin, selenous acid, BSA, and linoleic acid) or with insulin (ITS+), a factor that stimulate bovine follicle activation. Total RNA was extracted. Differences in global gene expression profiles between pieces enriched for primordial or primary follicles were determined by microcarray analysis.

Project description:Much remains unknown about the reproductive physiology of southern white rhinoceros (SWR) and the effect of ovarian stimulation prior to ovum pickup (OPU) have not been fully elucidated. Granulosa cells (GC) provide valuable insight into follicle growth and oocyte maturation status. The goals of this study were to evaluate transcriptomic changes in GC from three stages of follicle development and to identify biomarkers possibly associated with follicular growth and maturation as a result of ovarian stimulation. GC collected from SWRs following OPU were assigned stages based upon follicle size. Total RNA was isolated, and cDNA libraries were prepared and sequenced on a NovaSeq 6000. All bioinformatics analyses were performed utilizing the Galaxy web platform. Reads were aligned to CerSimCot1.0, and the manual curation was performed with EquCab3.0. Overall, 39,455 transcripts (21,612 genes) were identified across follicle stages, and manual curation yielded a 61% increase in gene identification from the original annotation. Granulosa cells from preovulatory follicles expressed the highest number of unique transcripts. The following seven biomarkers were determined based upon cluster analysis and patterns of expression: COL1A1, JMY, FBXW11, NRG1, TMPO, MACIR and COL4A1. These data can be used to potentially evaluate the effects of different ovarian stimulation protocols on follicle dynamics, improve OPU results, and support conservation efforts in this species.

Project description:Understanding the unique mechanisms of human oogenesis necessitates the development of an in vitro system of stem cell differentiation into oocytes. Specialized cell types and organoids have been derived from human pluripotent stem cells in vitro, but generating a human ovarian follicle remains a challenge. Here we report that human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be induced to differentiate into ovarian follicle-like cells in vitro. First, we find that two RNA-binding proteins specifically expressed in germ cells, DAZL and BOULE, regulate the exit from pluripotency and entry into meiosis. By expressing DAZL and BOULE with recombinant human GDF9 and BMP15, these meiotic germ cells are further induced to form ovarian follicle-like cells (FLCs), including oocytes and granulosa cells. This robust in vitro differentiation system will allow the study of the unique molecular mechanisms underlying human pluripotent stem cell differentiation into late PGCs, meiotic germ cells, and ovarian follicles.
