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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Increased expression of BubR1 protects against aneuploidy in aging oocytes and extends reproductive lifespan

Project description:Chromosome aneuploidy increases in oocytes with maternal age, and is considered the leading cause for the increased incidence of infertility, miscarriage, and birth defects. Using mRNA-Sequencing of oocytes from 12 month old mouse versus 3 month young mouse, we identified a spindle assembly checkpoint gene, BubR1, whose expression was significantly decreased. We employed a mRNA microinjection based approach to increase BubR1 expression in aging oocytes. We find that increased expression of BubR1 protects against aneuploidy and chromosome misalignment in aging oocytes. After in vitro fertilization, the embryos derived from BubR1 increased expression aging oocytes exhibited chromosome stability as robust as those of the young ones. Furthermore, following embryo transfer, these embryos showed greatly improved developmental competency, with comparable levels of full-term development to those of the young ones. These results indicate that the decline in oocyte quality may be reversible and could lead to treatments that prolong female fertility. Examination of the effect of maternal aging on the mRNA expression in the mature oocytes of the female mice. Naturally ovulated mature oocytes (MII stage) were collected from 6 young (3 month) and 6 aging (12 month) female mice (3 oocytes per mice, 18 oocytes for each group).

Impact of maternal age and in vitro maturation on the transcriptome of denuded human oocytes

Project description:While the oocytes’ transcriptome is predominantly determined by maturation stage, transcripts related to specific pathways such as chromosome segregation, mitochondria and RNA processing are affected by age after in vitro maturation of denuded oocytes.

Reprogramming of ovarian aging epigenome by resveratrol [methylation]

Project description:Depletion of oocytes and follicles and reduced oocyte quality contribute to age-associated ovarian senescence and infertility. Telomere shortening and altered methylation make two major contributions to general aging. Resveratrol acts as anti-oxidant and Sirt1 activator to alleviate aging including reproductive aging. It remains elusive whether resveratrol can reprogram the aging epigenome. We sought to examine aging ovarian epigenome and the potential effects of resveratrol by combined analysis of telomere length, transcriptome and methylome mainly in oocytes and also in granulosa cells, two major cell types in the ovary.

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.

Cordycepin Delays Postovulatory Aging of Mammalian Oocytes through Inhibition of Maternal mRNAs Degradation via DCP1A Polyadenylation Suppression

Project description:Postovulatory aging leads to the decline in oocyte quality and subsequent impairment of embryonic development, thereby reducing the success rates of assisted reproductive technology (ART). Nevertheless, potential preventative strategies to improve aging oocytes quality and the associated underlying mechanisms warrant further investigation. In this study, we identify cordycepin, an natural nucleoside analogue, as having the potential to restore the postovulatory aging-induced decline in oocyte quality, including aspects such as oocyte fragmentation, embryonic developmental competence, spindle/chromosomes morphology and mitochondrial function. Proteomic and RNA sequencing analyses revealed that cordycepin inhibited the degradation of several crucial maternal proteins and mRNAs caused by aging. Mechanistically, cordycepin was found to suppress the elevation of DCP1A protein levels by inhibiting polyadenylation during postovulatory aging, consequently impeding the decapping of maternal mRNAs. In humans, the increased degradation of DCP1A and total mRNA during aging was also inhibited by cordycepin. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that cordycepin may prevent postovulatory aging of mammalian oocytes by inhibition of maternal mRNAs degradation via DCP1A polyadenylation suppression, thereby promoting the successful rates of ART procedure.

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.

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
