Abstract
An attempt was made to rejuvenate cumulus cells (CCs) of women of advanced maternal age (AMA) using extracellular vesicles (EV) isolated from the follicular fluid (FF) of young donors. FF samples were taken from healthy women aged 23-26 during the ART program. CCs from patients of advanced maternal age (36-47 years) were co-cultured with EV of young donors. The target genes were selected based on their functions in CC and early embryogenesis (PFKP, EREG, UBE2T, HAS2, VCAN, CYP19A, GREM1, STS, BAX, PTGS2, BCL2, SPSB2, AREG, CCNB1, EGFR). Comparative analysis of all women without stratification by the type of final follicle maturation drug (hCG or gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, GnRHa) revealed no statistically significant difference in the expression of the selected genes. In the group treated with GnRHa, a statistically significant increase in the expression of HAS2 (by 1.8 times, p = 0.04), GREM1 (by 1.4 times, p = 0.08), and BAX (by 1.4 times, p = 0.04) in CCs was observed after their co-culturing with FF EVs from young donors. The findings suggest the potential for the "rejuvenation" of CC in women of advanced maternal age when aGnRH is used in combination with FF EVs from young women, because the expression of apoptosis genes decreases and the expression cell proliferation gene increases during co-culturing of CC with FF EVs.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine presents original peer reviewed research papers and brief reports on priority new research results in physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, oncology, etc. Novel trends in science are covered in new sections of the journal - Biogerontology and Human Ecology - that first appeared in 2005.
World scientific interest in stem cells prompted inclusion into Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine a quarterly scientific journal Cell Technologies in Biology and Medicine (a new Russian Academy of Medical Sciences publication since 2005). It publishes only original papers from the leading research institutions on molecular biology of stem and progenitor cells, stem cell as the basis of gene therapy, molecular language of cell-to-cell communication, cytokines, chemokines, growth and other factors, pilot projects on clinical use of stem and progenitor cells.
The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.
