Mouse aging oocyte proteome comparison

ABSTRACT: Here we asked if oocyte proteomes are representative of the transcriptomes, how the abundance of specific genes’ mRNA and protein responds to maternal aging, and if oocyte aging presents the features characteristic of somatic aging. To address these questions on the proteomic level, we employed stable isotope labeling of amino acids in cell culture (SILAC; Geiger et al. 2011) as the method of choice, and performed a SILAC screen of mouse metaphase II (MII) oocytes superovulated at 3, 8+-1 and 58+-10 weeks of maternal age, which correspond to pre-puberty, mature age and climacterium, respectively. We used heavy F9 embryonic carcinoma (EC) cells as internal or "Spike-in" standard for the quantification of oocytes proteins because in contrast to the oocytes they can easily be cultured feeder-free, have stem cell properties and should harbor the majority of all oocyte proteins (although with different relative abundances). The SILAC screen was conducted in parallel with conventional microarray analysis to compare the concordance of protein and transcript levels in these oocytes. Associated microarray data have been deposited to NCBI GEO with accession number GSE42959.

The long-standing view of 'immortal germline vs mortal soma' poses a fundamental question in biology concerning how oocytes age in molecular terms. A mainstream hypothesis is that maternal ageing of oocytes has its roots in gene transcription. Investigating the proteins resulting from mRNA translation would reveal how far the levels of functionally available proteins correlate with mRNAs and would offer novel insights into the changes oocytes undergo during maternal ageing.

Project description:The transformation of a fertilized oocyte into a multicellular embryo comprised of differentiated cells depends on the processing of genetic orders, first in the form of transcripts and then of proteins. Our current understanding of mouse development has greatly benefited from the analysis of transcripts as proxy for the proteins. However, the hexagonal-shaped free ribosomes that translate mRNAs into proteins are scarce during cleavage and do not become abundant until the morula-blastocyst stage. How accurate, then, is an understanding of mouse and more in general mammalian development that uses the analysis of transcripts as proxy for the proteins? This led us in this study to measure the proteome of seven preimplantation mouse stages (B6C3F1 x CD1), from oocyte to blastocyst, using 'spike-in' SILAC technology combined with high accuracy mass spectrometry (LTQ Orbitrap and Q-Exactive). The relative abundances of embryonic proteins were compared and contrasted with those of transcripts measured by RNA sequencing. A total of 6976 proteins were detected in at least the spike (precondition for determining the heavy/light peptide ratios in oocytes or embryos). Among these 6976 proteins, 4991 proteins were present in all developmental stages, and 1893 proteins were present in all replicates. Our tandem approach uncovered: 1) the different abundance profiles of proteome and transcriptome during the time of preimplantation development; 2) the different reciprocal associations of developmental stages (dendrograms) on the protein level as compared to the mRNA level; and 3) the different gene ontology terms overrepresented among the proteins that increase or decrease across adjacent stages, compared to mRNAs. In essence, the elaborate phasing of embryonic gene expression that has been known for mRNAs leaves an unsuspected footprint on the protein products of those mRNAs. This information facilitates the analysis of mammalian development in two important ways. First, it provides new insight into the regulation of the transition from the differentiated oocyte into the embryo, by identifying the subsets of proteins that accompany the passage from one embryonic stage to the next, which are likely composed of important regulators of the morphogenetic transitions. Second, our analysis provides a reference to determine the degree of ‘embryoness’ of entities produced via assisted reproductive technologies, cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer, and even artificial gametes.
