Project description:Poly(A) polymerase α (PAPα), as the specific mRNA polyadenylation enzyme in the cytoplasm of mammalian oocytes, is essential for oocytes to exclude the first polar body. However, PAPα knockout did not affect germinal vesicles breakdown (GVBD) of oocytes, and the mechanism needs to be further explored. In this study, we identified that PAPα work together with poly(A)-bound RNA binding protein PABPN1 to promote the rupture of germinal vesicles in mammalian oocytes. The protein level of Pabpn1 gradually increases with the meiotic maturation of oocytes. The oocytes specifically knocked out Pabpn1 at the primary follicle stage could develop into the fully grown (FGO) stage, but hardly could enter into the meiotic process. The activated form of CDK1 was injected into Pabpn1-null oocytes, the oocytes could enter into meiotic process. The translational activity of Pabpn1-null oocytes was significantly lower than that of wild-type oocytes during meiosis. In particular, the expression level of protein (BTG4 and CDC25), which were essential for the meiotic maturation of oocytes, were significantly decreased. Therefore, during the oocyte meiosis process, PABPN1 and PAPα jointly promote the oocyte to enter the meiosis process.

Project description:The molecular causes of deteriorating oocyte quality during aging are poorly defined. Since oocyte developmental competence relies on post-transcriptional regulations, we tested whether defective mRNA translation contributes to this decline in quality. Disruption in ribosome loading on maternal transcripts is present in old oocytes. Using a candidate approach, we detect altered translation of 3’-UTR-reporters and altered poly(A) length of the endogenous mRNAs. mRNA polyadenylation depends on the cytoplasmic polyadenylation binding protein 1 (CPEB1). Cpeb1 mRNA translation and protein levels are decreased in old oocytes. This decrease causes de-repression of Ccnb1 translation in quiescent oocytes, premature CDK1 activation, and accelerated reentry into meiosis. De-repression of Ccnb1 is corrected by Cpeb1 mRNA injection in old oocytes. Oocyte-specific Cpeb1 haploinsufficiency in young oocytes recapitulates all the translation phenotypes of old oocytes. These findings demonstrate that a dysfunction in the oocyte translation program is associated with the decline in oocyte quality during aging.

Project description:Fully grown oocytes remain transcriptionally quiescent, yet many maternal mRNAs are synthesized and retained in growing oocytes. We now know that maternal mRNAs are stored in a structure called the mitochondria associated ribonucleoprotein domain (MARDO). But the components and functions of MARDO remain elusive. Here, we found that LSM14B knockout prevents the proper storage and timely clearance of mRNAs (including Cyclin B1, Btg4, and other mRNAs that are translationally activated during meiotic maturation), specifically by disrupting MARDO assembly during oocyte growth and meiotic maturation. With decreased levels of storage and clearance, the LSM14B knockout oocytes failed to enter meiosis II, ultimately resulting in female infertility. Our results demonstrate the function of LSM14B in MARDO assembly, couple the MARDO with mRNA clearance and oocyte meiotic maturation

Project description:Study Question: What effects do maternal age and oocyte maturation stage have on the human oocyte transcriptome that may be associated with oocyte developmental potential? Summary Answer: Although polyadenylated transcript abundance changes during human oocyte maturation irrespective of age, young (YNG) and advanced maternal age (AMA) metaphase II (MII) oocytes exhibit divergent transcriptomes. What is known already: Maternal age and maturation stage affect oocyte polyadenylated transcript abundance in human oocytes. Although RNA-Seq analysis of single human MII oocytes has been conducted, comparison of the germinal vesicle (GV) and MII oocyte transcriptomes has not been investigated using RNA-Seq, a technique that could provide novel insight into oocyte maturation and age-associated aberrations in gene expression. Participants / materials, settings, methods: Patients undergoing infertility treatment at the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine (Lone Tree, CO, USA) underwent ovarian stimulation with FSH and received hCG for final follicular maturation prior to ultrasound guided egg retrieval. Unused GV oocytes obtained at retrieval were donated for transcriptome analysis. Single oocytes were stored (at -80°C in PicoPure RNA Extraction Buffer; Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) immediately upon verification of immaturity or after undergoing in vitro oocyte maturation (24 hour incubation), representing GV and MII samples, respectively. After isolating RNA and generating single oocyte RNA-Seq libraries (SMARTer Ultra Low Input RNA HV kit; Clontech, USA), Illumina sequencing (100 bp paired-end reads in HiSeq 2500) and bioinformatics analysis (CLC Genomics Workbench, DESeq2, Weighted Gene Correlation Network Analysis (WGCNA), 3’UTR motif analysis, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis) were performed. Main results and the role of chance: Within the 12,770 expressed genes in human oocytes (reads per kilobase per million mapped reads (RPKM) > 0.4 in at least 3 of 5 replicates for a minimum of one sample type), 458 and 3,506 genes significantly (adjusted p < 0.05 and log2 fold change > 1) increased and decreased in polyadenylated transcript abundance during oocyte maturation, respectively. The differentially expressed genes were enriched (FDR < 0.05) for biological functions and canonical pathways related to cell cycle and mitochondrial function. The majority (76%) and minority (25%) of up- and down-regulated transcripts with a complete 3’UTR were predicted to be targets of cytoplasmic polyadenylation (910 total genes), respectively. Differential gene expression analysis between young and advanced maternal age oocytes (within stage) identified 1 and 255 genes that significantly differed (adjusted p < 0.1 and log2 fold change > 1) in polyadenylated transcript abundance for GV and MII oocytes, respectively. These genes included CDK1, NLRP5, and PRDX1, which have been reported to affect oocyte developmental potential and be markers of oocyte quality. Despite similarity in transcript abundance between GV oocytes irrespective of age, divergent expression patterns emerged during oocyte maturation. These age-specific differentially expressed genes were enriched (FDR < 0.05) for functions and pathways associated with mitochondria, cell cycle, and cytoskeleton. Gene modules generated by WGCNA (based on gene expression) and patient traits related to oocyte quality (e.g. age and blastocyst development) were determined to be correlated (p < 0.05) and enriched (FDR < 0.05) for functions and pathways associated with oocyte maturation. Limitations, reasons for caution: The human oocytes used in the current study were obtained from patients with varying causes of infertility (e.g. decreased oocyte quality and oocyte quality-independent factors), possibly affecting oocyte gene expression. Oocytes in this study were retrieved at the GV stage following hCG administration and the MII oocytes were derived by in vitro maturation of patient oocytes, which has the benefit of identifying intrinsic differences between samples, but may not be completely representative of in vivo matured oocytes. Thus, these factors should be considered when interpreting the results. Wider Implications of the findings: Transcriptome profiles of young and advanced maternal age oocytes, particularly at the MII stage, suggest aberrant transcript abundance contributes to the age-associated decline in fertility.

Project description:Well balanced and timed energy metabolism is essential for making a high quality egg. However, the metabolic framework that supports oocyte development remains poorly understood. Here we obtained the temporal metabolome profiles of mouse oocytes during in vivo maturation by isolating large number of cells at key stages. In parallel, quantitative proteomic analyses were conducted to bolster the metabolomic data, synergistically depicting the global metabolic patterns in oocytes. In particular, we discovered novel metabolic features during oocyte maturation, such as the fall in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) level and the active serine-glycine-one-carbon (SGOC) pathway. Using functional approaches, we further identified two key targets (NKAP and BTG4) through which arachidonic acid (ARA) inhibits meiotic maturation, and demonstrated the control of epigenetic marks in maturing oocytes by SGOC network. Our data serves as a broad resource on the dynamics occurring in metabolome and proteome during oocyte maturation, and provides opportunities for predicting and improving oocyte quality.

Project description:The success of human reproduction relies on high quality oocytes. Oocyte quality is manifested by the competence to complete meiosis, to be fertilized, and to support embryonic development. This meiotic and developmental competence is gradually established during the course of oocyte and follicle development, and is determined in large part by the autonomous gene expression program intrinsic to the oocyte. In order to explore the regulatory role of LSM14B in oocyte, we analyzed the effect of Lsm14b KO on gene expression in GV-stage fully-grown oocytes (FGOs) in mice by comparing the corresponding transcriptomes via RNA-Seq Analysis.

Project description:Maternal RNAs are stored from minutes to decades in oocytes throughout meiotic arrest. The nature and dynamics of maternal RNAs during this arrest remain uncharted. We address this by performing single-oocyte RNA sequencing on arrested and maturing C. elegans oocytes. We discovered a population of transcripts that increases as the arrested meiosis I oocyte ages, but ruled out ERK signaling and nascent transcription as a mechanism for this increase. Instead, we report extracellular communication from neighboring somatic cells as a mechanism for the increase in transcripts during meiosis I arrest. These analyses provide a single-cell resolution of the RNA landscape during the developmental history of a meiosis I arrested oocyte and as it prepares for oocyte maturation and embryonic progression.
