Progression of uterine aging in mice

ABSTRACT: Reproductive decline with advanced maternal age is majorly driven by functional changes to the uterus in mice. Here, we conducted an aging time course series in female mice and assessed changes to the uterine transcriptomes between young females and those aged between 24 weeks and 52 weeks and over. We also assessed the impact of key candidates of aging driver genes in the human endometrial Ishikawa cell line. Our results show an increase in transcriptional heterogeneity in the uterus as a function of maternal age. However, these changes are largely distinct from organismal aging and highlight that aging of reproductive tissues, notably the endometrium, is driven by a unique set of aging driver genes.

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.

Gene expression analysis of an endometrial cell line

Project description:This group is studying the role of glycoproteins in embryo implantation and development of the maternal-fetal interface. The Aplin lab is developing an embryo implantation model in which blastocysts attach to human endometrial cells. The project aims to investigate the molecular interactions mediating attachment and subsequent events including trophoblast invasion and displacement of maternal cells. In the present phase of the project, the lab is using the Ishikawa (human endometrial) cell line with mouse embryos. RNA from three replicate samples from the Ishikawa cell line were prepared and sent to Microarray Core (E). The RNA was amplified, labeled, and hybridized to the GLYCOv3 microarrays.

Intrauterine hyponutrition reduces fetal testosterone production and postnatal sperm count in the C57BL/6N

Project description:There has been growing interest in the relationship between maternal undernutrition and reproductive disorders in male offspring. In the present study, we determined the effects of maternal calorie restriction throughout the critical period for in utero development of the male reproductive system, termed the “masculinization programming window” on the reproductive system of mice. The intratesticular testosterone concentration of the fetuses of calorie-restricted (R) dams was lower than in control fetuses at 17.5 days post coitum. In addition, there was global down-regulation of genes encoding steroidogenic enzymes and a low sperm count in the offspring of R dams (R-offspring) at 6 weeks of age. Microarray analysis of the testes of the offspring identified dysregulation of several genes that might explain the derangement in spermatogenesis in the R-offspring. Thus, the present study provides insights into the impact of maternal undernutrition on the male reproductive system in mice. The deleterious effects probably originate in lower androgen exposure during the “masculinization programming window.”

Asynchronous female reproductive organ ageing as revealed by single-cell transcriptomic atlas

Project description:Successful pregnancies require fine coordination among the reproductive organs. Reproductive research has focused on ovarian ageing, the uterus and oviduct have received much less attention; whether these organs age synchronously with the ovaries remains unclear. Here, we established a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the ovary, oviduct, and uterus across the murine reproductive lifespan. Organ–organ communication patterns were identified using cell-specific hormone receptor analysis. The ageing hallmarks (including DNA damage, cellular senescence, and apoptosis, etc.) were evaluated for each cell type. Analysis of these ageing-related gene set scores combined with changes in morphology and molecular signatures revealed that the ovary aged earlier and faster than the oviduct and uterus; this was also confirmed in human reproductive tissues. Our single-cell transcriptomic atlas provides molecular insights into reproductive ageing and its asynchronization for the reproductive organs across the murine reproductive lifespan, which may reveal the causes of declining fertility at advanced ages.

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

Project description: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.

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

Effect of overexpression of aging-association transcription factors on epithelial cells.

Project description:RNA-seq profiling of whole, intact uteri at embryonic day 3.5 (E3.5) from young and aged virgin wild-type C57BL/6 mice—each mated with vasectomized wild-type males—identified the transcription factors Foxc1 and Six1 as aging-associated markers. Immunostaining of mouse uteri across an age range of 8 to 41 weeks revealed a progressive upregulation of FOXC1, initially localized to individual stromal cells in the endometrium, followed by prominent expression in both luminal and glandular epithelial cells. To investigate the functional role of Foxc1 and Six1, their full-length open reading frames were cloned into a PiggyBac expression vector, sequence-verified, and overexpressed in Ishikawa cells. Phenotypic characterization and RNA-seq analysis of these cells provided a framework for understanding FOXC1-mediated aging-related effects.
