Cell Death Mechanisms

Premature Ovarian Failure; is characterized by the dysfunction or early depletion of ovarian reserves due to follicular loss in the ovary in women under age of 40. POF is the important cause of infertility and its etiology is still not clearly understood. Investigation of cell death mechanisms (CDM) that play a role in the follicular atresia (FA) triggered by excessive loss of granulosa cells (GCs) that provide metabolic support for oocyte and follicle development in the ovary will help to understand POF etiology. It was known that apoptosis and autophagy play a role in FA. Recent studies have shown that paraptosis, associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), also exist in FA. POF model was established in C57BL/6 female mice by CTX and it was confirmed by increased follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteal hormone (LH) and decreased estradiol (E2) blood levels and follicle count. According to the results of the immunohistochemistry (IHC) cell death markers were significantly more expressed than control (C) and sham (S) groups in the POF model. In addition, more apoptotic cells were observed in the POF group compared to C and S in the TUNEL analysis. In consequence of this study apoptosis and autophagy as well as paraptosis play a role in the FA leading to POF, will help to develop new treatment protocols.

Mesenchymal stem cells, which are poorly immunogenic and have potent immunosuppressive activities, have emerged as promising cellular therapeutics for the treatment of several diseases. Mesenchymal-like cells derived from Wharton’s Jelly, called umbilical cord matrix stem cells (UCMSCs), reportedly secrete a variety of cytokines and growth factors, acting as trophic suppliers. Here, we used UCMSCs to treat premature ovarian failure (POF). Ovarian function was evaluated by ovulation and the number of follicles. Apoptosis of the granulosa cells (GC) was analyzed by TUNEL staining. We found that after transplantation of the UCMSCs, apoptosis of cumulus cells in the ovarian damage model was reduced and the function of the ovary had been recovered. The sex hormone level was significantly elevated in mice treated with UCMSCs. The number of follicles in the treated group was higher than in the control group. Our results demonstrate that UCMSCs can effectively restore ovary functionality and reduce apoptosis of granulosa cells. We compared the RNA expression of the UCMSCs treated group with the POF model and wild-type control group and found that the UCMSC group is most similar to the wild-type group. Our experiments provide new information regarding the treatment of ovarian function failure.
