摘要:

目的 探讨年轻血浆腹腔注射对衰老小鼠生育能力与卵巢功能的影响并分析其潜在的分子机制。方法 选取54周龄C57BL/6雌性小鼠与8周龄C57BL/6雄性小鼠,其中雌性小鼠随机均分为生理盐水组、衰老血浆组和年轻血浆组。年轻血浆组与衰老血浆组分别腹腔注射年轻(25~29岁)和年长(45~49岁)女性供体的血浆。每次注射量为500 μL,隔日注射1次,21 d内进行11次注射。生理盐水组小鼠腹腔注射等量生理盐水。末次注射后,予雌雄配种实验评估生育能力;HE染色观察卵巢病理学变化;予超促排卵后获取卵母细胞与受精卵,进行体外培养评估卵母细胞质量及胚胎发育潜能;分析卵巢组织转录组变化,并进行京都基因与基因组百科全书(KEGG)和基因本体(GO)富集分析。结果 与生理盐水组和衰老血浆组相比,年轻血浆组小鼠产仔数增多,反映卵母细胞质量的第一极体(PB1)排出率提高,卵母细胞粉碎率降低,卵母细胞的二细胞胚胎转化率及囊胚形成率升高;而衰老血浆组和生理盐水组上述指标无明显差异。转录组学测序发现年轻血浆组小鼠卵巢组织中的差异表达基因主要参与了类固醇生物合成与代谢通路,其中类固醇硫酸酯酶蛋白表达水平显著上调。结论 系统性输注年轻血浆可以增强老年小鼠衰老卵巢的生殖潜能,血浆中硫酸化类固醇代谢物可能是恢复卵巢功能和延缓卵巢衰老过程的关键物质。

Abstract:

Objective To explore the effect of young plasma intraperitoneal injection on the fertility and ovarian function of aging mice and analyze its potential molecular mechanism. Methods Fifty-four-week-old female C57BL/6 mice and 8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were selected. Among them, the female mice were randomly divided into three groups: the young plasma group, the aging plasma group and the normal saline group. The young plasma group and the aging plasma group received intraperitoneal injection of plasma from young (25-29 years old) and elderly (45-49 years old) female donors, respectively. Each injection was 500 μL, administered every other day for 2 weeks. The saline group received an equal volume of saline. After the last injection, mating experiments were conducted to evaluate fertility. Ovarian histopathological changes were observed by HE staining. Oocytes and fertilized eggs were collected after superovulation and cultured in vitro to assess oocyte quality and embryo developmental potential. Transcriptomic analysis of ovarian tissue was performed, followed by KEGG and GO enrichment analysis. Results Compared with the normal saline group and the aging plasma group, the number of offspring increased in the young plasma group, which reflected higher extrusion rate of first polar body (PB1), decreased fragmentation rate of oocytes and increased conversion rate of two-cell embryos and increased formation rate of blastocysts. There were no significant differences in these indicators between the aging plasma group and the normal saline group. Transcriptomic sequencing revealed that the differentially expressed genes in ovarian tissue of the young plasma group were mainly involved in steroid biosynthesis and metabolic pathways. Among them, the expression level of steroid sulfatase protein was significantly upregulated. Conclusion Systemic infusion of young plasma enhances the reproductive potential of aging ovaries in elderly mice. The sulfated steroid metabolites in plasma may be key substances in restoring ovarian function and delaying the process of ovarian aging.
