Akr1b7 functions as a master regulator in ovarian aging [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: At the beginning of ovarian aging, the ovulation of immature oocytes is accelerated, finally leading to the arrest of ovulation despite the remaining oocytes. Here RNA expression in ovarian aging of mice is comprehensively analyzed during the estrous cycle after ovulation stimulation, and an aldo-keto reductase Akr1b7 pathway transiently increased in the young ovary is eliminated in the aged mice. Akr1b7-/- mice enhance the ovulation of immature oocytes, and the KITL expression in Akr1b7-expressed stromal is attenuated, accompanied by oocyte Akt essential for the follicular development inactivation in primordial follicles. The estrous cycle is extended due to the prolonged diestrous stage by a sustained progesterone level in Akr1b7-/- mice ovaries, which is caused by the decline of Cyp17a1, a major metabolite enzyme of progesterone in Akr1b7-expressed theca cell layers. Taken together, the decreased Akr1b7 pathway causes the ovulation of immature oocytes and the prolonged estrous cycle, typical symptoms of ovarian aging.

Concentrations of progesterone prior to luteolysis modulates the uterine luminal transcriptome in the subsequent cycle in cattle

Project description:Sex-steroids concentrations throughout the estrous cycle modulate endometrial function and fertility in cattle. The objective of this study was to compare the post-estrus endometrial transcriptome of cows that were exposed to contrasting pre-estrus concentrations of progesterone before they displayed estrus and ovulated spontaneously. We hypothesized that greater pre-estrus concentration of progesterone alters post-estrus endometrial function even after the display of estrus and spontaneous ovulation.

Estrous cycle impacts microRNA content in extracellular vesicles that modulate bovine cumulus cell transcripts during in vitro maturation

Project description:Purpose: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoparticles that can be secreted by different cells, including cells found within the ovarian follicle. Currently, EVs are considered an important form of intercellular communication, since they carry biological contents. The goal of this study was to survey the effects of small EVs from follicles at different estrous cycle stage in bovine cumulus cells. Methods: We used an established model to obtain follicular fluid (FF) at early and late estrous cycle stage according to corpus luteum appearance, corresponding to low and high progesterone (P4) levels, respectively. We collected FF from 3-6 mm follicles and isolated small EVs, which were used as a supplement during in vitro maturation (IVM). Cumulus cells were collected from cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) pools and the RNAs were obtained and subjected to RNA sequencing. Results: The results showed that small EVs from different estrous cycle stage are capable to affect transcripts in cumulus cells and modulate different pathways and biological processes related to oocyte maturation, ovulation and immune response. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that small EVs from low and high P4 group impact the RNA profile in cumulus cells after 9 hours of in vitro maturation.

Microarray profiling for differential gene expression in PSMG-hCG stimulated pre-ovulatory ovarian follicles of Chinese Erhualian and Large White sows

Project description:The Chinese Erhualian is one of the most prolific pig breeds in the world, which farrows at least five more piglets per litter than Western pig breeds partly due to a greater ovulation rate. Differences in the transcriptome of Chinese Erhualian and Large White ovaries directly result in variation of ovulation rate. To understand the molecular basis related to ovulation rate in Chinese indigenous and Western breeds, samples were collected and used to hybridized. This study reveals many potential avenues of investigation for seeking new insights into ovarian physiology and the genetic control of reproduction. Expression profiling experiments were conducted to identify differentially expressed genes in ovarian follicles at the preovulatory stage of a PMSG-hCG stimulated estrous cycle from 3 Chinese Erhualian and 3 Large White cycling sows by using the Affymetrix Porcine Genechip™.

small non-coding RNA sequencing of human cumulus cells from patients with or without Diminished ovarian reserve

Project description:This group consist of human embryologists from the reproductive medical center for of the 1st affiliated hospital of Anhui Medical University. Our research is specifically focused on women ovarian reserve and the relevant female infertility. By deep sequencing, the current experiment determined the small non-coding RNA profile of cumulus cells from patients with or without diminished ovarian reserve undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation and in vitro fertilization treatment. Ovarian follicles, which are a densely-packed shell of granulosa cells that contains an immature or mature oocyte, are above all responsible for the development, maturation, and release of mature egg for fertilization. They are also responsible for synthesizing and secreting hormones that are essential for follicular development, menstrual and estrous cycle, maintenance of the reproductive tracts and their functions, development of female secondary sex characteristics, and metabolism. During folliculogenesis, ovarian granulosa cells surrounding the oocyte differentiate into mural granulosa cells, involved in gonadal steroidogenesis, and into cumulus cells, which are ovulated with the oocyte at ovulation. In the present study, we described the small non-coding RNA expression profile to characterize the ensemble of both known and novel ncRNAs expressed in cumulus cells from patients with or without Diminished ovarian reserve, by using high-throughput Solexa technology.

Epigenetic profiling of cycling endometrium at single-cell resolution

Project description:The human menstrual cycle can be divided into two major phases by the event of ovulation. Before ovulation, in the proliferative or follicular phase, the endometrium proliferates under the influence of estradiol produced by growing ovarian follicles. After ovulation, in the secretory or luteal phase, ovarian progesterone produced by the newly formed corpus luteum drives a process of differentiation during which the endometrium becomes competent to receive and support the growth of the embryo. Single-cell analyses at the RNA level from our group and others have begun to decipher cell-type specific expression in the endometrium. How these events are controlled at the chromatin level remains elusive, however. In this study, we applied single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (scATAC-seq) to profile the epigenetic landscapes of human endometrial samples across the menstrual cycle.

Profile of miRNA in Bovine corpora lutea

Project description:The corpus luteum (CL), an ovarian transient gland, develops from the remnants of the ovulatory follicle and produces progesterone, required for maintenance of pregnancy in mammals. The development of the CL is characterized by the differentiation of granulosal and thecal cells into luteal cells, cell hypertrophy and hyperplasia. As the CL matures, growth ceases and the tissue acquires the ability to undergo regression in response to luteolytic signals (prostaglandin F2alpha). The regulators of this transition are poorly understood. MicroRNA, posttranscriptional regulators of tissue development and function, are hypothesized to play a role during these processes. The goal of this study was to profile the expression of microRNA (miRNA) in the corpus luteum (CL) of Holstein cows at two time points of the estrous cycle (early-cycle (Day4) and midcycle (D9-12); day0= day of estrus) in order to investigate their role in regulating CL development and function. Sample size = 6 animals and two time points (3 animals per time point). The aim was to compare the expression of miRNA between the early-cycle (Day4) and midcycle (days9-12) CL The three cows designated for early-cycle time point received an injection of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH; Factrel; Zoetis, Florham Park, NJ) to synchronize the ovulation of a dominant follicle, and were slaughtered 4 days later to collect a day 4 CL. The three cows designated for midcycle time point were observed after CIDR removal to determine the onset of estrus, and on days 9-12 of the estrous cycle, the CL was collected by culpotomy.

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.

Primary oocytes with cellular senescence features are involved in ovarian aging in mice

Project description:In mammalian females, quiescent primordial follicles serve as the ovarian reserve and sustain normal ovarian function and egg production via folliculogenesis. The loss of primordial follicles causes ovarian aging. Cellular senescence, characterized by cell cycle arrest and production of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), is associated with tissue aging. In the present study, we report that some quiescent primary oocytes in primordial follicles become senescent in adult mouse ovaries. The senescent primary oocytes share senescence markers characterized in senescent somatic cells. The senescent primary oocytes were observed in young adult mouse ovaries, remained at approximately 15% of the total primary oocytes during ovarian aging from 6 months to 12 months, and accumulated in aged ovaries. Administration of a senolytic drug ABT263 to 3-month-old mice reduced the percentage of senescent primary oocytes and the transcription of the SASP cytokines in the ovary. In addition, led to increased numbers of primordial and total follicles and a higher rate of oocyte maturation and female fertility. Our study provides experimental evidence that primary oocytes, a germline cell type that is arrested in meiosis, become senescent in adult mouse ovaries and that senescent cell clearance reduced primordial follicle loss and mitigated ovarian aging phenotypes.
