Increased expression of Kifc1 and Kifc5b targeting endogenous-siRNA contribute to the age-related decline in oocyte quality

ABSTRACT: The oocyte is reliant on stores of endogenous mRNA transcripts in order to support their survival and integrity during a protracted period of dormancy as they await ovulation. Oocytes are however, known to experience an age-associated alteration in mRNA transcript abundance, a phenomenon that contributes to reduced developmental potential. Here we have investigated whether the expression profile of small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) is similarly altered in aged mouse oocytes. The application of high throughput sequencing revealed substantial changes in the global sncRNA profile of germinal vesicle stage oocytes from young (4-6 weeks) and aged mice (14-16 months). Among these changes, we identified 160 endo-siRNA and ten microRNAs that differentially accumulated within young and aged oocytes. Several endo-siRNAs that were upregulated in aged oocytes selectively targeted Kifc1 and Kifc5b; members of the kinesin protein family that were confirmed as being reciprocally reduced in the aged oocytes. The implications of reduced Kifc1 and Kifc5b expression were explored using complementary siRNA-mediated knockdown and pharmacological inhibition strategies, both of which led to increased rates of aneuploidy in otherwise healthy young oocytes. Collectively, our data raise the prospect that dysregulation of sncRNA expression, particularly endo-siRNA, may contribute to the age-dependent deterioration of oocyte quality.

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

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.

Growth hormone supplementation reduces aneuploidy and improves the quality of oocytes by activating ERK1/2 pathway in aged mice

Project description:The decline in oocyte quality is a limiting factor of female fertility; however, strategies to maintain the oocyte quality of aged women are not available. In this study, we showed that growth hormone (GH) supplementation in vivo not only alleviated the decline in oocyte number caused by aging, but also improved the quality and developmental potential of aged oocytes. Strikingly, GH supplementation reduced aneuploidy in aged oocytes. Proteomic analysis indicated that the ERK1/2 pathway was involved in the reduction in aneuploidy rate of aged oocytes, as confirmed both in vivo and in vitro. In addition, JAK2 might be involved in the regulation of ERK1/2 by GH in aged oocytes. Collectively, our findings revealed that GH supplementation protects oocytes from aging-related aneuploidy and enhances the quality of aged oocytes, and could be used to improve the outcome of assisted reproduction in aged women.

oocyte miRNA profiling by array

Project description:This study compares miRNA expression profiles in mouse oocytes as young oocytes vs aged oocytes, and growing oocytes vs small oocytes from primordial follicles. Oocytes were derived from the ovary of young (6-8 week-old) C57BL/6 mice and aged (41-43 week-old) mice and pooled according to whether they were 20 to 50 um or 60 to 80 um in diameter. Of oocytes with the diameter of more than 60um, oocyte from young mice are called ‘young oocytes’ and those from aged mice near the end of their reproductive life span are called ‘aged oocytes’ to analyze the miRNA profiling associated with aging. They were also each called ‘small oocytes’ or ‘large oocytes’ from the size of 60um so as to investigate miRNA profiling associated with growing. Total RNA from oocytes was isolated using mirVana miRNA Isolation Kit (Applied Biosystems). MiRNA expression was profiled using Agilent's Mouse miRNA Microarray Kit (G4472A) annotated against the Sanger miRBASE 10.1 database of miRNAs. This miRNA microarray was provided by Agilent Technologies (Santa Clara, CA). Each sample was run in duplicate.

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.

MicroRNA function is globally suppressed in mouse oocytes and early embryos

Project description:Dicer, which is required for the processing of both microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), is essential for oocyte maturation. Oocytes express both miRNAs and endogenous siRNAs (endo-siRNAs). To determine whether the abnormalities in Dicer knockout oocytes during meiotic maturation are secondary to the loss of endo-siRNAs and/or miRNAs, we deleted Dgcr8, which encodes a RNA binding protein specifically required for miRNA processing. In striking contrast to Dicer, Dgcr8 deficient oocytes matured normally and, when fertilized with wild-type sperm, produced healthy appearing offspring, even though miRNA levels were reduced to similar levels as Dicer deficient oocytes. Furthermore, the deletion of both maternal and zygotic Dgcr8 alleles did not impair preimplantation development including the determination of the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm. Most surprisingly, the mRNA profiles of wild-type and Dgcr8 null oocytes were essentially identical while Dicer null oocytes showed hundreds of misregulated transcripts. These findings show that miRNA function is globally suppressed during oocyte maturation and preimplantation development and that endo-siRNAs, rather than miRNAs, underlie the Dicer knockout phenotype in oocytes. We used microarrays to understand at the global level how loss of miRNAs and/or siRNAs is impacting mRNA levels in mouse oocytes.

Genome-wide maps of DNA methylome during oocyte aging and its transgenerational inheritance

Project description:The goals of this study are to compare genome-wide DNA methylation levels in young and aged oocytes,and to investigate the transgenerational inheritance of methylome profiles in oocytes during natural aging. We apply a novel protocol of rapamycin to overcome the DNA methylation drift associated with oocyte aging. 8-week-old female mice were injected intraperitoneally with rapamycin or vehicle for 40 weeks. At the end of the experiment, females (48 weeks, F0) were paired with young adult (~4 mo old) males to produce F1 offspring (OF1 and ORaF1). An F2 generation (OF2 and ORaF2) resulted from mating F1 female at 44~48 weeks of age with young adult males. To generate YF1 and YF2 as normal control (offspring of young mother), we mated females (~8 weeks) with young adult males. Then we collect oocytes (F0,F1 and F2 generations)，sperm ( F1 and F2 generations) and hippocampus (F1 female offspring) from different groups to investigate the transgenerational inheritance of DNA methylome profiles associated with oocyte aging by the single cell whole-genome methylation sequencing (sc-WGBS). We found that oocytes from aged mother exhibited increased DNA methylation levels in CpG sites. Maternal aging related methylome changes can be inherited transgenerationally though oocyte to the germ line of F1 and F2 offspring. The application of rapamycin during the course of oocyte aging could reverse these DNA methylation alterations, and it can ameliorate several neurobehavioral aging trails that were in observed in aged oocyte offspring. WGBS-seq on DNA from hippocampal tissue revealed a number of differentially methylated (P<0.05) genes in OF1 and ORaF1 compared with YF1, and some of the enriched pathways were associated with aging process, such as PI3K-Akt signaling pathway (akin to transcriptional alterations above), MAPK signaling and Ras signaling pathway .
