Mechanism of Hyperproteinemia-Induced Damage to Female Reproduction in a Genetic Silkworm Model


ABSTRACT: Hyperproteinemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by abnormally elevated plasma protein concentrations (PPC) in humans and animals. Here, a genetic silkworm model with high PPC was employed to investigate the effect of elevated PPC on female reproduction. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that high PPC induces downregulation of the ovarian development-related genes and disrupts ovarian sugar metabolism. Biochemical and endocrinal analyses revealed that high PPC increases trehalose and glucose levels in hemolymph and glycogen content in the fat body through activation of the gluconeogenic pathway and inhibition of the IIS-AKT pathway, thus disrupting characteristic metabolic homeostasis of sugar in the ovary. These resulted in ovarian developmental delay as well as reduced number and poor quality of eggs. Insulin supplementation effectively increased egg numbers by lowering blood sugar. These collective results provide new insights into the mechanisms by which high PPC negatively affects female reproduction and support the potential therapeutic effects of insulin.
