A possible cause is aging of the surrounding follicular somatic cells that support oocyte growth and development by providing nutrients and regulatory factors. Here, by creating chimeric follicles, whereby an oocyte from one follicle was transplanted into and cultured within another follicle whose native oocyte was removed, we show that young oocytes cultured in aged follicles exhibited impeded meiotic maturation and developmental potential, whereas aged oocytes cultured within young follicles were significantly improved in rates of maturation, blastocyst formation and live birth after in vitro fertilization and embryo implantation. This rejuvenation of aged oocytes was associated with enhanced interaction with somatic cells, transcriptomic and metabolomic remodeling, improved mitochondrial function and higher fidelity of meiotic chromosome segregation. These findings provide the basis for a future follicular somatic cell-based therapy to treat female infertility. Oocyte quality declines during aging. Here the authors show that oocytes from aged mice cultured within follicles from young mice have improved developmental potential. Aged oocytes cultured within young follicles have enhanced interaction with somatic cells, improved mitochondrial function and better meiotic chromosome segregation.","PeriodicalId":94150,"journal":{"name":"Nature aging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":17.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142196159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we propose a method for quantifying age-related changes in transcriptional regulatory relationships between genes, based on a model learned from external data. We used this method to uncover age-related trends in gene–gene relationships across eight human tissues, which demonstrates that reduced co-expression may also result from coordinated transcriptional responses. Our analyses reveal similar numbers of strengthening and weakening gene–gene relationships with age, impacting both tissue-specific (for example, coagulation in blood) and ubiquitous biological functions. Regulatory relationships becoming weaker with age were established mostly between genes operating in distinct cellular processes. As opposed to that, regulatory relationships becoming stronger with age were established both within and between different cellular functions. Our work reveals that, although most transcriptional regulatory gene–gene relationships are maintained during aging, those with declining regulatory coupling result mostly from a loss of coordination between distinct cellular processes. Age-related loss of gene expression coordination may contribute to impaired cellular function. In this study, the authors analyzed age-related trends in gene–gene relationships. They found that expression control often remains intact among genes involved in shared cellular functions while the coordination between functions tends to decline.","PeriodicalId":94150,"journal":{"name":"Nature aging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":17.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s43587-024-00696-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142127775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
