Abstract

Primordial follicles (PFs) function as the long-term reserve for female reproduction, remaining dormant in the ovaries and becoming progressively depleted with age. Oxidative stress plays an important role in promoting female reproductive senescence during aging, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we find that low levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential for sustaining PF dormancy. Compared to growing follicles, oocytes within PFs were shown to be more susceptible to ROS, which accumulates and damages PFs to promote reproductive senescence. Mechanistically, oocytes within PFs were shown to express high levels of the intracellular antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), counteracting ROS accumulation. Decreased SOD1 expression, as a result of aging or through the experimental deletion of the Sod1 gene in oocytes, resulted in increased oxidative stress and triggered ferroptosis within PFs. In conclusion, this study identified antioxidant defense mechanisms protecting PFs in mouse ovaries and characterized cell death mechanisms of oxidative stress-induced PF death.

卵母细胞维持较低的 ROS 水平,以支持原始卵泡休眠
原始卵泡(PFs)是女性生殖的长期储备,在卵巢中处于休眠状态,并随着年龄的增长而逐渐耗竭。在衰老过程中,氧化应激在促进女性生殖衰老方面起着重要作用,但其潜在机制仍不清楚。在这里,我们发现低水平的活性氧(ROS)对维持卵泡刺激休眠至关重要。与生长中的卵泡相比,PFs 内的卵母细胞更容易受到 ROS 的影响,ROS 会积累并破坏 PFs,从而促进生殖衰老。从机理上讲,PFs 内的卵母细胞表达高水平的细胞内抗氧化酶超氧化物歧化酶 1(SOD1),以抵消 ROS 的积累。由于衰老或通过实验性删除卵母细胞中的 Sod1 基因,SOD1 的表达量减少,导致氧化应激增加,并引发 PFs 内的铁变态反应。总之,这项研究确定了保护小鼠卵巢内PF的抗氧化防御机制,并描述了氧化应激诱导PF死亡的细胞死亡机制。

期刊介绍: Aging Cell is an Open Access journal that focuses on the core aspects of the biology of aging, encompassing the entire spectrum of geroscience. The journal's content is dedicated to publishing research that uncovers the mechanisms behind the aging process and explores the connections between aging and various age-related diseases. This journal aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the biological underpinnings of aging and its implications for human health. The journal is widely recognized and its content is abstracted and indexed by numerous databases and services, which facilitates its accessibility and impact in the scientific community. These include: Academic Search (EBSCO Publishing) Academic Search Alumni Edition (EBSCO Publishing) Academic Search Premier (EBSCO Publishing) Biological Science Database (ProQuest) CAS: Chemical Abstracts Service (ACS) Embase (Elsevier) InfoTrac (GALE Cengage) Ingenta Select ISI Alerting Services Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition (Clarivate Analytics) MEDLINE/PubMed (NLM) Natural Science Collection (ProQuest) PubMed Dietary Supplement Subset (NLM) Science Citation Index Expanded (Clarivate Analytics) SciTech Premium Collection (ProQuest) Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) Being indexed in these databases ensures that the research published in Aging Cell is discoverable by researchers, clinicians, and other professionals interested in the field of aging and its associated health issues. This broad coverage helps to disseminate the journal's findings and contributes to the advancement of knowledge in geroscience.
