借助工程化细胞外囊泡递送外源miRNA调控牛卵母细胞发育能力
Modulation of bovine oocyte developmental competence through exogenous miRNA delivered via engineered EVs
摘要
研究以牛卵丘-卵母细胞复合体(COC)为对象,检验能否用卵巢卵泡液来源的细胞外囊泡(EVs)装载合成miRNA并在体外成熟(IVM)过程中递送至卵丘细胞。结果显示,卵泡液EVs可富集合成的bta-miR-20a-5p并成功被COC摄取,引起卵丘细胞基因表达改变,miRNA并可转移至卵母细胞胞质;该miRNA增强PI3K/AKT信号及EIF4b、GSK3等下游基因表达。但补充装载miR-20a-5p的EVs后,卵裂率与囊胚发育率反而呈下降趋势。作者认为工程化EV可实现IVM期miRNA递送并调控卵母细胞胞质内容,但对该miRNA而言,其对胚胎发育的结果为负面,需进一步优化。
原文摘要
In vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes plays a crucial role in assisted reproductive technologies in livestock production, enabling efficient large-scale embryos production and supporting genetics improvement programs. However, the efficiency of this technology remains limited as only a small proportion of cumulus-oocytes complexes (COCs) matured in vitro reach the blastocyst stage, which exhibit lower quality than those produced in vivo. Recent efforts have focused on delivering biological materials to cumulus cells during IVM to improve oocyte quality. Herein, we hypothesized that extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from ovarian follicular fluid (FF) can be engineered to deliver synthetic microRNAs (miRNAs) to cumulus cells during IVM. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that follicular fluid-derived EVs are enriched with synthetic miRNAs and successfully delivered to COCs, resulting in altered gene expression in cumulus cells, and transfer of miRNAs to the oocyte cytoplasm. Specifically, EVs loaded with bta-miR-20a-5p were effectively taken up by cumulus cells during IVM, enhanced PI3K/AKT signaling with significant increase in downstream genes, such EIF4b and GSK3, which are involved in cell cycle progression, DNA repair and protein synthesis. Additionally, bta-miR-20a-5p-loaded-EVs supplementation to COCs, during IVM, appeared to reduce cleavage and blastocyst development rates. Collectively, our findings demonstrated that engineered EVs can deliver a synthetic miRNA to COCs during IVM, representing highlighting their potential to modulate oocyte cytoplasm content and embryo development.
推荐理由:首次证明卵泡液来源EV可工程化装载合成miRNA并在IVM期递送至卵丘细胞甚至卵母细胞胞质,方法学上有启发性;但功能结局为卵裂与囊胚率下降,提示递送策略与miRNA选择仍需优化,属于值得一读的概念验证性动物研究。
