Single-Cell Transcriptomic Atlas of Primate Ovarian Aging. Wang S et al. (2020) Molecular mechanisms of ovarian aging and female age-related fertility decline remain unclear. We surveyed the single-cell transcriptomic landscape of ovaries from young and aged non-human primates (NHPs) and identified seven ovarian cell types with distinct gene-expression signatures, including oocyte and six types of ovarian somatic cells. In-depth dissection of gene-expression dynamics of oocytes revealed four subtypes at sequential and stepwise developmental stages. Further analysis of cell-type-specific aging-associated transcriptional changes uncovered the disturbance of antioxidant signaling specific to early-stage oocytes and granulosa cells, indicative of oxidative damage as a crucial factor in ovarian functional decline with age. Additionally, inactivated antioxidative pathways, increased reactive oxygen species, and apoptosis were observed in granulosa cells from aged women. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the cell-type-specific mechanisms underlying primate ovarian aging at single-cell resolution, revealing new diagnostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for age-related human ovarian disorders.//////////////////

NCBI Summary: This gene encodes a member of the paraoxonase family of enzymes and exhibits lactonase and ester hydrolase activity. Following synthesis in the kidney and liver, the enzyme is secreted into the circulation, where it binds to high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles and hydrolyzes thiolactones and xenobiotics, including paraoxon, a metabolite of the insecticide parathion. Polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with coronary artery disease and diabetic retinopathy. The gene is found in a cluster of three related paraoxonase genes on chromosome 7.

Comment | Association between Serum Paraoxonase 1 Activities (PONase/AREase) and L55M Polymorphism in Risk of Female Infertility. Motovali-Bashi M et al. (2015) The risk of developing female infertility has been associated with gene polymorphisms that decrease the activity of enzymes involved in systemic Oxidative Stress (OS). In this study, PON1 L55M polymorphism for association with susceptibility to infertility was investigated among Iranian female population. Samples from 120 Iranian females [20 endometriosis; 30 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCO); 70 controls] were analyzed and PCR-RFLP assay was used to determine the PON1 rs854560 (L55M) frequencies. The paraoxonase (PONase) and arilesterase (AREase) activities of PON1 enzyme were also assessed in order to investigate the association between serum PON1 activities, female infertility, and PON1 L55M polymorphism. The women with a MM genotype (p=0.021; OR=2.55) showed more possibilities of experiencing infertility than those with a LM genotype (p=0.039; OR=1.91). According to LSD test, endometriosis subjects had significantly lower paraoxonase enzyme activity compared to control group (p=0.0024; CI=95%). No significant difference was found in women with PCOS for both PONase and AREase activity in comparison with control group (p=0.469; CI=95%). Furthermore, PON1 activities were the highest in LL genotype followed by LM and then MM genotype (MM<LM<LL) in both patients and controls. PON1 L55M polymorphism may be associated with serum PON1 activity and the risk of developing female infertility.////////////////// | ||||

Comment | Polycystic ovary syndrome and endothelial dysfunction: A potential role for soluble lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1. Oncul M et al. (2020) The aims of this study were to investigate whether serum soluble lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (sLOX-1), oxidized LDL (oxLDL), paraoxonase-1(PON-1) and hydroperoxide (LOOH) levels are altered in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and also to determine if hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance (IR) and Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) are associated with endothelial dysfunction in PCOS. A total of 46 women with PCOS and 46 non-PCOS healthy controls were recruited. Women with PCOS had significantly higher sLOX-1, oxLDL and LOOH concentrations than non-PCOS women [6.16 (3.92-13.95) vs 1.37 (0.63-4.43) ng/mL, p < 0.001; 6.48 ± 1.03 vs 3.16 ± 1.02 μU/L, p < 0.001; 2.45 (1.45-3.45) vs 1.06 (0.64-1.56) μmol/L, p < 0.001]. The mean PON-1 level of PCOS group was lower than non-PCOS group (69.47 ± 10.75 vs 104.08 ± 21.43 U/mL, p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in terms of the sLOX-1, oxLDL, LOOH and PON-1 levels between normal weight and overweight PCOS women. On univariate logistic regression analysis, Ferriman-Gallwey scale (FGS), HOMA-IR and AMH were an independent predictors of high risk group of endothelial dysfunction markers (HR-EDm). Age and BMI were not associated with HR-EDm. When incorporated into the multivariate model, endotelial dysfunction markers independently correlated with clinical hyperandrogenism (FGS) but not with AMH. In conclusion, our results indicated that an increased concentration of sLOX-1 might be an early predictor of endothelial damage in patients with PCOS. Women with PCOS have elevated sLOX-1, oxLDL, LOOH and decreased PON-1 levels, independent of BMI. Endothelial dysfunction in women with PCOS is associated with hyperandrogenism. Further studies are required to confirm our findings.////////////////// | ||||

Comment | Evaluation of the relationship between serum paraoxonase-1 activity and superovulation response/embryo yield in Holstein cows. Alkan H et al. (2021) In this study, the effect of serum paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) activity on superovulation response and embryo yield was evaluated. The study material comprised 50 Holstein cows aged 3-4 years on postpartum day 90-120 with a body condition score of 3-3.25. A progesterone-based estrus synchronization protocol was initially administered to the selected donors. For this purpose, progesterone source was inserted intravaginally (day 0) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone injection was performed (day 6). Seven days after the insertion of progesterone device, follicle-stimulating hormone injections (total dose of 500 μg in decreasing doses for 4 days) were administered for superovulation. On the morning of the ninth day, prostaglandin (PG) F2α was administered, and the progesterone device was removed from the vagina in the evening on the same day. Two days after PGF2α administration, fixed-time artificial insemination was performed in the morning and in the evening. On the day of artificial insemination, blood samples were taken from the donors to determine the serum PON-1 activity. Uterine flushing was performed seven days after insemination. The results revealed that the serum PON-1 activity (mean ± SD, 562.71 ± 140.23 U/l) of the cows that responded to superovulation (donors with total corpus luteum count of ≥3 in both ovaries) was higher than those (389.91 ± 80.51 U/l) that did not (P<0.05). On the day of insemination, a positive correlation was determined between serum PON-1 activity and the counts of total corpus luteum (r=0.398), total oocyte/embryo (r=0.468), transferable embryo (r=0.453), and Code I embryos (r=0.315, P<0.05). Unlike the Code I embryos, there was no significant correlation between serum PON-1 activity and the number of Code III embryos. Moreover, no significant difference in the number of Code III embryos between the two PON-1 groups was observed. However, embryo yield and quality were found to have increased with increased PON-1 activity. Therefore, it was concluded that serum PON-1 activity may be associated with superovulation response, embryo yield and quality in donor cows.////////////////// .Paraoxonase activities in human follicular fluid: role in follicular maturation. Meijide S et al. (2017) The paraoxonases (PONs) are antioxidant enzymes associated with beneficial effects against several diseases and some exposures. Little is known, however, about the role of PONs in human reproduction. This work was conducted to investigate whether any association existed between the activities of the PON enzymes (1, 2, and 3) with the follicular size and fertility parameters in assisted reproduction. The study included 100 subfertile women (patients) and 55 proven fertile women (oocyte donors), all undergoing an ovarian stimulation cycle. Follicular fluid from small (diameter <12 mm) and large (diameter ≥18 mm) follicles was collected from each woman. The PONs were quantified in follicular fluid by immunoblotting. PON1 arylesterase and paraoxonase, PON2 methyl paraoxonase and PON3 simvastatinase activities from both donors and patients were significantly higher (P < 0.001) in follicular fluid from large follicles compared with small ones. In large follicles, PON3 activity was significantly higher (P < 0.01) in donors compared with patients. Follicular fluid PON1 arylesterase and paraoxonase activity was positively correlated with the number of retrieved oocytes in donors. This study shows an increase in the activities of PONs with follicle size, thus providing indirect evidence for the role of PONs in follicle maturation.//////////////////.......Characterization of the paraoxonase system in follicular fluid of women subjected to an ovarian stimulation cycle. Meijide S et al. (2015) Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants are involved in the regulation of reproductive processes. Previous studies in infertile women undergoing an ovarian stimulation cycle have suggested a possible role for ROS in the occurrence of conception in In Vitro Fertilization. In this context the control of the redox balance of follicular fluid becomes essential for reproduction, so that the presence of enzymes with antioxidant activities, such as the paraoxonase (PON) system, would play a role in maintaining this balance. The objective of this work was a) to characterize the paraoxonase system in follicular fluid of women undergoing a controlled ovarian stimulation cycle, analysing the associated PON1, PON2, and PON3 activities, and b) to study the possible involvement of the PON system in follicular maturation. The enzyme activities were quantified in follicular fluid from large and small follicles from women undergoing an ovarian stimulation cycle in the IVI-Bilbao clinic. PON activities were quantified using spectrophotometric and HPLC techniques. Statistical comparisons were performed using the Student's t-test for paired data. Results indicate that follicular fluid presents paraoxonase activities which are detectable by the methods developed in this study. PON activities were associated with follicular maturation, suggesting that the PON system plays a role in oocyte maturation. This work was supported by research grants from the Ministry of Health and Consumption (FIS/FEDER PI11/02559), the Basque Country Government (Dep. Education, Universities and Research ref. IT687-13, and DCIT ref. S-PE13UN063), and UPV/EHU (CLUMBER UFI11/20 and PES13/58). The work was approved by the Ethics Committee of the UPV/EHU (CEISH/96/2011/RUIZLARREA), and performed according to the UPV/EHU and IVI-Bilbao agreement (Ref. 2012/01).////////////////// | ||||

Comment | Paraoxonase (PON) 1, 2 and 3 Expression in Granulosa Cells and PON1 Activity in Follicular Fluid of Dairy Cows. Schneider A et al. Normal metabolic activity in ovarian follicles may result in oxidative stress and damage to oocytes. The aim of this study was to evaluate expression of the natural anti-oxidants paraoxonase (PON) 1, 2 and 3 in granulosa cells and PON1 activity in follicular fluid (FF) and plasma of dairy cows. For the first experiment, ovaries were collected from cows at slaughter, after which follicles were dissected and classified as oestrogen active (EAF) or atretic (ATF). Expression of PON1, PON2 and PON3 mRNA was evaluated in granulosa cells, and activity of PON1 was measured in FF. PON1 mRNA was undetectable in granulosa cells, PON2 mRNA expression was not different between follicle types, and PON3 mRNA tended to be higher in EAF (p?=?0.11). The activity of PON1 in FF was higher (p?=?0.01) for EAF (82.6???8.0 kU/L) than ATF (53.9???6.8 kU/L), as were high-density lipoproteins (HDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and total cholesterol concentrations. In the second experiment, we aimed to compare plasma and FF PON1 activity in early lactation Holstein cows (n?=?15) with pre-ovulatory EAF. Activity of PON1 was twofold higher (p?0.0001) in plasma (122.5???11.1 kU/L) than in FF (61.4???5.2 kU/L). Plasma concentrations were also higher (p?0.0001) for HDL, LDL and total cholesterol when compared to FF. In conclusion, FF concentrations of PON1, HDL, LDL and total cholesterol were higher in healthy oestrogen active bovine follicles than in atretic follicles. PON1 was not expressed by granulosa cells indicating that high PON1 activity in bovine FF is apparently derived by transfer from blood in association with HDL. | ||||
