Project description:The mechanisms of oocyte meiotic defects and low competence during ovarian aging remains elusive for decades. Using Hi-C (genome-wide chromatin conformation capture) and Smart RNA-seq of oocytes from 6- weeks or 10- months aged ovaries, the abnormal loose chromatin structures and disturbing expression of meiosis associated genes at metaphase I phase were disclosed. Furthermore, the transcriptomic landscape of granulosa cells (GCs) surrounding oocytes from young and aged ovaries reveled that oocyte meiotic maturation was accompanied with a robust increased expression of genes involved with the mevalonate (MVA) pathway in GCs from young ovaries but these genes expression was not upregulated to counterpart level in GCs from aged ovaries.The inhibitor of MVA pathway of GCs, Statins significantly decreased polar body extrusion rate and increased the rate of irregularly assembled spindles and misaligned chromosomes remarkably in oocytes of culumus-oocyte complex (COCs) from young ovaries . Correspondingly, the activitor of MVA pathway of GCs, Geranylgeraniol ameliorated ovarian reserve and reduced meiotic defects in oocytes of COCs from aged ovaries. Mechanistically, MVA pathway activation in GCs culminated oocyte meiotic maturation by upregulating EGF signaling via LH receptor on GCs surrounding oocytes. Together, MVA pathway is a promising therapeutic target for prompting quality of oocytes from aged ovaries.

Project description:Nobox is a homeobox gene expressed in oocytes and critical in oogenesis. Nobox deficiency leads to rapid loss of postnatal oocytes. Early oocyte differentiation is poorly understood. We hypothesized that lack of Nobox perturbs global expression of genes preferentially expressed in oocytes as well as microRNAs. We compared Nobox knockout and wild type ovaries using Affymetrix 430 2.0 microarray platform. We discovered that 28 out of 38 (74%) of the genes down-regulated more than five fold in the absence of Nobox were preferentially expressed in oocytes, while only 5 out of 33 (15%) of genes up-regulated more than five fold in the absence of Nobox, were preferentially expressed in oocytes. Protein binding microarray helped identify nucleotide motifs that NOBOX binds, and that several down-regulated genes contain within putative promoter regions. MicroRNA population in newborn ovaries deficient of Nobox, was largely unaffected. Genes whose proteins are predicted to be secreted, but previously unknown to be significantly expressed in early oogenesis, were down regulated in Nobox knockouts and included astacin-like metalloendopeptidase (Astl), Jagged 1 (Jag1), oocyte secreted protein 1 (Oosp1), fetuin beta (Fetub) and R-spondin 2 (Rspo2). In addition, pluripotency associated genes, Pou5f1 and Sall4 are drastically down-regulated in Nobox deficient ovaries, while testes determining gene Dmrt1 is over-expressed. Our findings indicate that Nobox is likely an activator of oocyte-specific gene expression, and suggest that oocyte plays an important role in suppressing expression of male determining genes such as Dmrt1.

Project description:<p>Advanced maternal age is a key factor in female infertility, primarily due to declines in ovarian reserve and oocyte quality. However, the metabolic mechanisms underlying reproductive aging are still poorly understood. Here, we show that uridine levels in the plasma and ovaries of aged mice are significantly reduced compared with young controls. Building on this, we find that uridine supplementation significantly improves meiotic maturation, fertilization, and early embryonic development of aged oocytes, both in vivo and in vitro. Further microtranscriptomic analyses reveal that uridine enhances oocyte quality by inhibiting ferroptosis, enhancing mitochondrial function and removing excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, integrating Limited Proteolysis-Small Molecule Mapping (LiP-SMap), surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analyses and siRNA-based functional assays, we identify that uridine binds Poly(rC)-binding protein 1 (PCBP1), thereby suppressing ferroptosis and preserving mitochondrial function. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that uridine supplementation can effectively improve fertility of aged female mice. Our research also provides important insights into the role of ferroptosis in oocyte aging, thereby advancing our understanding of reproductive aging mechanisms.</p>

Our findings indicate that Nobox is likely an activator of oocyte-specific gene expression, and suggest that oocyte plays an important role in suppressing expression of male determining genes such as Dmrt1. Experiment Overall Design: Newborn ovaries were pooled separately from wild type and Nobox -/- animals and total RNA isolated using RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen, CA). Newborn ovaries were collected within 12 hours of delivery. Animal experimentation was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Baylor College of Medicine. Three independently pooled RNA samples from wild type and Nobox -/- newborn ovaries were used to generate biotinylated cRNA. Biotinylated cRNA was hybridized to GeneChip Mouse Expression Set 430 2.0 (Affymetrix, Inc.). Since three independent experiments were performed from three independent pools of wild type and Nobox -/- RNA, signal intensities for particular genes were averaged between the three chips and ratio of the wild type over knockout signal calculated. Signal less than 100 was considered background. The raw data in the Affymetrix CEL files were normalized by the RMA method (robust multi-array analysis) [15, 16]. Then the null hypothesis was tested that there is no significant changes in gene expression between the treatment pairs. This was done by LIMMA [17] and the pooled local error (LPE) method [18]. The raw pvalues were adjusted by the Benjamini-Hochberg method for the false discovery rate of 5% [19]. We used DAVID database [20] to aid in functional annotation of genes affected by Nobox deficiency

Project description:We found that in Chronic Resistant Stress (CRS)-treated mice, the fertility and oocyte quality significantly decreased, and plenty of biochemical indexes significantly changed, so we guessed that the overall physical health of CRS mice was severely impacted. As one major strategy to investigate the mechanism how CRS impact the physical health, We chose label-free quantitative ovarian crotonylproteomics service from Hangzhou PTM Bio Co. We sent two repeats of two-month-old CRS CD1/ICR mouse ovaries and two repeats of control ovaries for characterization of differentially crotonylated proteins. Each repeat contained about 60 ovaries from 30 female mice, about 300 mg. Gross protein levels were also examined and used to normalize the protein crotonylation level.
