CD38 regulates ovarian function and fecundity via NAD metabolism

ABSTRACT: Mammalian female reproductive lifespan is typically significantly shorter than life expectancy and is associated with a decrease in ovarian NAD levels. However, the mechanisms underlying this loss of ovarian NAD are unclear. Here, we show that CD38, a NAD consuming enzyme, is expressed in the ovarian extrafollicular space, primarily in immune cells, and its levels increase with reproductive age. Reproductively young mice lacking CD38 exhibit larger primordial follicle pools, elevated ovarian NAD levels, and increased fecundity relative to wild type controls. This larger ovarian reserve results from a prolonged window of follicle formation during early development. However, the beneficial effect of CD38 loss on reproductive function is not maintained at advanced age. Our results demonstrate a novel role of CD38 in regulating ovarian NAD metabolism and establishing the ovarian reserve, a critical process that dictates a female reproductive lifespan.

PRC1-mediated epigenetic programming is required to generate the ovarian reserve

Project description:The ovarian reserve defines the female reproductive lifespan, which in humans spans decades due to robust maintenance of meiotic arrest in oocytes residing in primordial follicles. Epigenetic reprogramming, including DNA demethylation, accompanies meiotic entry, but the chromatin changes that underpin the generation and preservation of ovarian reserves are poorly defined. We report that the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) establishes repressive chromatin states in perinatal mouse oocytes that directly suppress the gene expression program of meiotic prophase-I and thereby enable the transition to dictyate arrest. PRC1 dysfuction causes depletion of the ovarian reserve and leads to premature ovarian failure. Our study demonstrates a fundamental role for PRC1-mediated gene silencing in female reproductive lifespan, and reveals a critical window of epigenetic programming required to establish ovarian reserve.

Nicotinamide mononucleotide supplementation reverses the declining quality of maternally aged oocytes

Project description:Advanced maternal age, defined as 35 years or older, is associated with a decline in both ovarian reserve and oocyte quality, which leads to the female infertility, pregnancy loss, fetal anomalies, stillbirth, and obstetric complications. At present, the effective approaches to counteract the maternal age-related decay of oocyte quality are still not fully determined. Here, we report that in vivo supplementation of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) efficaciously ameliorates the quality of oocytes from naturally aged mice by recovering nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) levels in oocytes. NMN supplementation increases the number of antral follicles, ovulated oocytes and matured oocytes from aged mice. Specifically, NMN supplementation maintains the normal spindle/chromosome structure and dynamics of cortical granule component ovastacin to ensure the meiotic competency and fertilization ability of aged oocytes. Moreover, single cell transcriptome analysis shows that the beneficial effect of NMN on the aged oocytes is mediated by the restoration of the mitochondrial function, thereby reducing the accumulated ROS to suppress the occurrence of apoptosis. To sum up, our data reveal that supplementation of NMN is a feasible approach to prevent oocyte quality from advanced maternal age-related deterioration, contributing to improve the reproductive outcome of aged women and the assisted reproductive technology.

Gene expression changes in ovaries of oocyte-specific conditional knockout of Ubc9 in juvenile mice

Project description:The reproductive lifespan in mammals is largely determined by the abundance and quality of oocytes residing within the primoridial ovarian follicular pool. Critical oocyte-expressed genes driving ovarian function have been identified, buta role for post-translational modifications, such as SUMOylation of these key factors is not well understood. Oocyte-specific genetic ablation of the sole E2 SUMOylation enzyme, UBC9, cause female sterility. Preantral and antral stage ovarian follicles are depleted by sexual maturity, and loss of the ovarian reserve in early adulthood causes premature ovarian failure, a condition associated with infertility in women. Gene expression changes indicate atered function of multiple POI candidate genes, including the transcription factors, NOBOX and SOHLH1. Together, these studies show that SUMOylation is required in the mammalian oocyte for regulating key genetic determinants of oocyte growth and differentiation.

Gene expression in rat ovaries treated with DHT

Project description:Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder of the reproductive and metabolic axis in women during the reproductive age. In this study, we used a rat model exhibiting reproductive and metabolic abnormalities similar to human PCOS to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlining this complex syndrome. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were implanted with a silicone capsule continuous-releasing 5Î±-dehydrotestestrone (DHT) per day for 12 weeks to mimic the hyperandrogenic state in women with PCOS, and the control (CTL) groups received an empty capsule. The animals were euthanized at 15 weeks of age and the ovarian cortex tissues of both groups were used for transcriptome profile analysis.

Expression data of age-specific ovaries in rhesus monkey

Project description:The biological function of human ovaries declines with increasing age. Moreover, disorders that cause reproductive failure, such as premature ovarian failure (POF), seriously affect the female health and may be related to abnormal gene expression in the ovaries. The objective of this study was to generate the gene expression proﬁles of ovaries in rhesus monkeys of different ages, so as to identify age-related changes in the ovaries and understand their significance in various human reproductive problems.

Restoration of energy homeostasis by SIRT6 extends healthy lifespan

Project description:Aging leads to a gradual decline in physical activity and disrupted energy homeostasis. The NAD+-dependent SIRT6 deacylase regulates aging and metabolism through mechanisms that largely remain unknown. Here, we show that SIRT6 overexpression leads to a reduction in frailty and lifespan extension in both male and female B6 mice. A combination of physiological assays, in vivo multi-omics analyses and 13C lactate tracing identified an age-dependent decline in glucose homeostasis and hepatic gluconeogenesis (GNG) capacity in wild type mice. In contrast, aged SIRT6-transgenic mice preserve GNG capacity and glucose homeostasis through an improvement in the utilization of two major GNG precursors, lactate and glycerol. To mediate these changes, mechanistically, SIRT6 increases hepatic GNG gene expression, de novo NAD+ synthesis, and systemically enhances glycerol release from adipose tissue. These findings show that SIRT6 optimizes energy homeostasis in old age to delay frailty and preserve healthy aging.

Altered GnRH neuron and ovarian innervation characterize reproductive dysfunction linked to the Fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein (Fmr1) gene mutation

Project description:Mutations in the Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMR1) gene cause Fragile X Syndrome, the most common monogenic cause of intellectual disability. Mutations of FMR1 are also associated with reproductive disorders, such as early cessation of reproductive function in females. While progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms of mental impairment, causes of reproductive disorders are not clear. FMR1-associated reproductive disorders were studied exclusively from the endocrine perspective, while FMR1 role in neurons that control reproduction was addressed. Here, we demonstrate that similar to women with FMR1 mutations, female Fmr1 null mice stop reproducing early. However, young null females display larger litters, more corpora lutea in the ovaries, increased inhibin, progesterone, testosterone, and gonadotropin hormones in the circulation. Given elevated ovarian hormones, increase in gonadotropins is not due to the lack of ovarian feedback, and ovariectomy reveals both hypothalamic and ovarian contribution to elevated gonadotropins. Increased vascularization of corpora lutea, higher sympathetic innervation of growing follicles in the ovaries of Fmr1 nulls, and higher numbers of synaptic GABAA receptors in GnRH neurons, which are excitatory for GnRH neurons, are also determined. Altered mRNA and protein levels of synaptic molecules in the hypothalamus are identified. Unmodified and ovariectomized Fmr1 nulls have increased LH pulse frequency, suggesting that Fmr1 nulls exhibit hyperactive GnRH neurons, regardless of ovarian feedback. These results reveal Fmr1 function in the regulation of GnRH neuron activity, and point to the role of GnRH neurons, in addition to the ovarian innervation, in the etiology of Fmr1-mediated reproductive disorders.

Reduced circulating insulin enhances insulin sensitivity in old mice and extends lifespan

Project description:The causal relationships between insulin levels, insulin resistance, and longevity are not fully elucidated. Genetic down-regulation of insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf1) signaling components can extend invertebrate and mammalian lifespan, but insulin resistance, a natural form of decreased insulin signaling, is associated with greater risk of age-related disease in mammals. We compared Ins2+/- mice to Ins2+/+ littermate controls, on a genetically stable Ins1-null background. Proteomic and transcriptomic analyses of livers from 25 week-old mice suggested potential for healthier aging and altered insulin sensitivity in Ins2+/- mice. Halving Ins2 lowered circulating insulin by 25-34% in aged female mice, without altering Igf1 or circulating Igf1. Remarkably, decreased insulin led to lower fasting glucose and improved insulin sensitivity in aged mice. Moreover, lowered insulin caused significant lifespan extension, observed across two diverse diets. Our study indicates that elevated insulin contributes to age-dependent insulin resistance, and that limiting basal insulin levels can extend lifespan.
