However, the effect of the redox state of thiol groups in sperm membrane proteins on the fertilization ability of sperm has not been studied. Therefore, in this study, we oxidized thiol groups in sperm membrane proteins using 5,5-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), which is a thiol-selective oxidizing agent, and examined the effect of oxidation of these thiol groups on the fertilization ability of sperm. Oocytes and sperm were obtained from C57BL/6 J mice, and Jcl:ICR mice were used as recipients for embryo transfer. Oxidation of the thiol groups by DTNB decreased the in vitro fertilization rate, and removal of the zona pellucida recovered the fertilization rate. DTNB treatment decreased the amplitude of the lateral head, which is an indicator of hyperactivation, and suppressed an increase in the intracellular calcium ion concentration, which is essential for hyperactivation.

Here, we tested the hypothesis that fetal hypoxia exposure altered gene expression programs in adult GCs and impaired ovarian function. We established a fetal hypoxia model in which pregnant mice were maintained in a high-plateau hypoxic environment from gestation day (E) 0-16.5 to study the impact of hypoxia exposure on the ovarian development and subsequent fertility of offspring. Compared with the unexposed control, fetal hypoxia impaired fertility by disordering ovarian function. Specifically, fetal hypoxia caused mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidant stress, and autophagy in GCs in the adult ovary. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that 437 genes were differentially expressed in the adult GCs of exposed animals. Western blotting results also revealed that fetal exposure induced high levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (Hif1a) expression in adult GCs. We then treated granulosa cells isolated from exposed mice with PX-478, a specific pharmacological inhibitor of Hif1a, and found that autophagy and apoptosis were effectively alleviated. Finally, by using a human ovarian granulosa-like tumor cell line (KGN) to simulate hypoxia in vitro, we showed that Hif1a regulated autophagic cell death in GCs through the Pi3k/Akt pathway.
