Abstract
This review provides a comprehensive overview of Complex I during mammalian oocyte maturation. Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) is a crucial member of the electron transport chain and serves two principal functions during oxidative phosphorylation: NADH oxidation and proton pumping. It is located at the inner mitochondrial membrane and consists of 14 core and 31 accessory subunits that are necessary for its function and assembly. Moreover, Complex I is the primary site of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production among the different tissues. In light of the literature, it has been demonstrated that ROS and oxidative stress are significantly important among the various factors that can affect oocyte maturation. Factors such as malnutrition, alcohol use, obesity, PCOS, aging, and smoking are some of the common causes of infertility. Each one of them causes disruption in the equilibrium of the body's redox system and related with oxidative stress. During oocyte maturation, excessive ROS levels are associated with chromosomal errors and developmental insufficiency. In addition, excess oxidative stress adversely affects embryo growth and development and may cause fetal embryopathies with damage to macromolecules in the cytoskeleton. At this particular juncture, Complex I plays a key role in determining ROS production and the success of the oocyte maturation. This review evaluates mitochondrial Complex I's function, structure, and its crucial role during oocyte maturation.
期刊介绍:
As of January 2000, Developmental Genetics was renamed and relaunched as genesis: The Journal of Genetics and Development, with a new scope and Editorial Board. The journal focuses on work that addresses the genetics of development and the fundamental mechanisms of embryological processes in animals and plants. With increased awareness of the interplay between genetics and evolutionary change, particularly during developmental processes, we encourage submission of manuscripts from all ecological niches. The expanded numbers of genomes for which sequencing is being completed will facilitate genetic and genomic examination of developmental issues, even if the model system does not fit the “classical genetic” mold. Therefore, we encourage submission of manuscripts from all species. Other areas of particular interest include: 1) the roles of epigenetics, microRNAs and environment on developmental processes; 2) genome-wide studies; 3) novel imaging techniques for the study of gene expression and cellular function; 4) comparative genetics and genomics and 5) animal models of human genetic and developmental disorders.
genesis presents reviews, full research articles, short research letters, and state-of-the-art technology reports that promote an understanding of the function of genes and the roles they play in complex developmental processes.
