Ovarian aging is a natural and physiological process characterized by loss of quantity quality oocyte or follicular pool. As it generally accepted that women are born with finite follicle pool will go through constant decline without renewing, which, together decreased quality, makes severe situation for who advanced age but desperate healthy baby.

Abstract Emerging studies indicate that the Hippo pathway, a highly conserved pathway regulates organ size control, plays an important role in governing ovarian physiology, fertility, and pathology. Specific to ovary, spatiotemporal expression of major components signaling cascade are observed throughout reproductive lifespan. Observations from multiple species begin elucidate functional diversity molecular mechanisms ovary addition identification interactions with other pathways responses various external stimuli. play roles follicle growth activation, as well steroidogenesis, by regulating several key biological processes through cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, fate determination. Given importance these processes, dysregulation contributes loss follicular homeostasis disorders such polycystic syndrome (PCOS), premature insufficiency, cancers.

ABSTRACT With advancing age, significant changes occur in the female reproductive system, most notable of which is decline oocyte quality, a key factor affecting fertility. However, mechanisms underlying aging remain poorly understood. In this study, we obtained oocytes from aged and young mice performed single‐cell transcriptome sequencing, comparing our findings with existing proteomic analyses. Our analysis revealed that one primary characteristics disruption calcium ion homeostasis. Specifically, identified two genes involved process, Calb1 Rpl23 . Experimental validation demonstrated knockdown CALB1 led to reduced levels endoplasmic reticulum mitochondria, resulting mitochondrial dysfunction meiotic defects. Further experiments suggested RPL23 may function as downstream gene CALB1, its caused dysfunction, excessive accumulation reactive oxygen species (ROS), spindle assembly Notably, overexpression these partially rescued maternal age‐related defective phenotypes, underscoring their crucial roles aging. This study provides comprehensive understanding specific mouse at resolution, supported by experimental validation, offers new directions potential targets for future research into health issues.

Abstract Decline in ovarian reserve with aging is associated reduced fertility and the development of metabolic abnormalities. Once mitochondrial homeostasis imbalanced, it may lead to poor reproductive cell quality aging. However, Phosphoglycerate translocase 5 (PGAM5), located membrane, necroptosis, apoptosis, mitophagy, although underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Therefore, we attempted uncover whether high phosphoglycerate mutant enzyme family member (PGAM5) expression female infertility cumulus cells, aims find out mechanism action PGAM5.

Abstract Follicular microenvironment is paramount in the acquisition of oocyte competence, which dependent on two interconnected and interdependent processes: nuclear cytoplasmic maturation. Extensive research conducted human model systems has provided evidence that those processes are disturbed with female aging. In fact, advanced maternal age (AMA) associated a lower chance pregnancy live birth, explained by age‐related decline quality/competence. This largely been attributed to mitochondria, essential for maturation, fertilization, embryo development; mitochondrial dysfunction leading oxidative stress, responsible damage, suboptimal intracellular energy levels, calcium disturbance, meiotic spindle alterations, may result aneuploidy. Nuclear‐related mechanisms justify increased aneuploidy include deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) loss chromosomal cohesion, assembly checkpoint dysfunction, recombination errors, telomere attrition. On other hand, age‐dependent maturation failure related altered biogenesis, morphology, distribution, activity, dynamics, dysmorphic smooth endoplasmic reticulum alterations cytoskeleton. Furthermore, reproductive somatic cells also experience effects aging, including DNA compromising crosstalk between granulosa/cumulus oocytes, affected gap junctions. Old oocytes seem therefore mature an microenvironment, changes metabolites, ribonucleic (RNA), proteins, lipids. Overall, understanding implicated quality will allow establishment emerging biomarkers potential therapeutic anti‐aging strategies. article categorized under: Reproductive System Diseases > Molecular Cellular Physiology

The efficacy of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) in older women remains constrained, largely due to an incomplete understanding the underlying pathophysiology. This review aims consolidate current knowledge on age-associated mitochondrial alterations and their implications for ovarian aging, with emphasis causes DNA (mtDNA) mutations, repair mechanisms, future therapeutic directions. Relevant articles published up 30 September 2024 were identified through a systematic search electronic databases. free radical theory proposes that reactive oxygen species (ROS) inflict damage mtDNA impair function essential ATP generation oocytes. Oocytes face prolonged pressure persisting five decades. MtDNA exhibits limited capacity double-strand break repair, heavily depending poly ADP-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1)-mediated single-strand breaks. process depletes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) ATP, creating detrimental cycle where continued further compromises oocyte functionality. Interventions interrupt this destructive may offer preventive benefits. In conclusion, cumulative burden mutations demands can lead depletion elevate risk aneuploidy, ultimately contributing ART failure women.
