项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Mature oocytes have among the highest intracellular concentrations of the potent antioxidant glutathione (GSH). Female mice lacking the modifier subunit of glutamate cysteine ligase (GCLM), the rate-limiting enzyme in GSH synthesis, have low GSH concentrations in oocytes, poor oocyte quality that manifests as increased embryonic mortality prior to the blastocyst stage, chronic ovarian oxidative stress, and accelerated post-pubertal, age-related decline in the primordial follicle pool, which constitutes the irreplaceable ovarian reserve. Therefore, compared to many genetically modified mouse models, which have complete ovarian follicle depletion prior to puberty, these mice more closely model pathological conditions with diminished ovarian reserve in humans. Female Gclm null mice are also resistant to diet- and age-associated gains in body weight and adipose tissue, have decreased hepatic expression of lipogenesis genes, and have increased hepatic mitochondrial oxygen consumption; however, the effects of Gclm deletion on oocyte lipid metabolism and mitochondrial function have not been studied. Gclm null mice thus constitute an excellent model in which to investigate the hypothesis that GSH deficiency causes oocyte mitochondrial dysfunction via increased reactive oxygen species that directly damage mitochondrial macromolecules and/or via decreased lipogenesis resulting in decreased oocyte mitochondrial fatty acid beta oxidation. This hypothesis will be tested via two specific aims: 1) Determine whether oocyte GSH deficiency due to Gclm deletion results in increased oocyte mitochondrial ROS generation, mitochondrial oxidative lipid and DNA damage, and decreased mitochondrial function. 2) Assess the effects of Gclm deficiency on the serum and oocyte lipidomes and on lipogenesis and fatty acid beta oxidation in the oocyte. The proposed studies will address the knowledge gap in understanding the association between decreased ovarian reserve and poor oocyte quality by examining whether oxidative damage to oocyte mitochondria and disruption of oocyte lipid homeostasis are mechanistically involved in decreased oocyte quality in Gclm-/- mice.

项目摘要/摘要成熟的卵母细胞具有最高的有效抗氧化剂谷胱甘肽的细胞内浓度（GSH）。雌性小鼠缺少谷氨酸半胱氨酸连接酶（GCLM）的修饰剂亚基，速率限制 GSH合成中的酶，卵母细胞的GSH浓度较低，卵母细胞质量较差，表现为胚泡阶段之前的胚胎死亡率增加，慢性卵巢氧化应激并加速原始卵泡池的柱后，与年龄相关的下降，这构成了不可替代的卵巢预订。因此，与许多具有完整卵巢的遗传修饰的小鼠模型相比卵泡耗尽在青春期之前，这些小鼠更紧密地模拟病理状况，并减少人类的卵巢储备。雌性GCLM无效小鼠也对体内饮食和年龄相关的增长具有抵抗力体重和脂肪组织的肝脏发生基因的肝表达降低，并增加了肝线粒体氧的消耗；但是，GCLM缺失对卵母细胞脂质代谢的影响线粒体功能尚未研究。因此，GCLM无效小鼠构成了一个极好的模型为了研究GSH缺乏会导致卵母细胞线粒体功能障碍的假设活性氧直接损害线粒体大分子和/或通过脂肪生成降低导致卵母细胞线粒体脂肪酸β氧化降低。该假设将通过两个进行检验具体目的：1）确定由于GCLM缺失引起的卵母细胞GSH缺乏是否导致卵母细胞增加线粒体ROS产生，线粒体氧化脂质和DNA损伤，并减少线粒体功能。 2）评估GCLM缺乏对血清和卵母细胞脂质组以及脂肪生成和的影响卵母细胞中的脂肪酸β氧化。拟议的研究将解决理解方面的知识差距通过检查是否氧化，卵巢储备降低与卵母细胞质量差之间的关联卵母细胞线粒体的损害和卵母细胞脂质稳态的破坏在机械上参与 GCLM - / - 小鼠的卵母细胞质量降低。
