Accumulation of electrophilic aldehydes during postovulatory aging of mouse oocytes causes reduced fertility, oxidative stress, and apoptosis.

With increasing periods of time following ovulation, the metaphase II (MII)-stage oocyte experiences overproduction of reactive oxygen species and elevated levels of lipid peroxidation that are implicitly linked with functional deficiencies acquired during postovulatory oocyte aging. We have demonstrated that the electrophilic aldehydes 4-hydroxynonenal (4HNE), malondialdehyde, and acrolein are by-products of nonenzymatic lipid peroxidation in the murine MII-stage oocyte, adducting to multiple proteins within the cell. The covalent modification of oocyte proteins by these aldehydes increased with extended periods of time postovulation; the mitochondrial protein succinate dehydrogenase (SDHA) was identified as a primary target for 4HNE adduction. Time- and dose-dependent studies revealed that exposure to elevated levels of electrophilic aldehydes causes mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, lipid peroxidation, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and eventual apoptosis within the MII oocyte, presumably as a consequence of electron transport chain collapse following SDHA adduction. Additionally, we have determined that short-term exposure to low doses of 4HNE dramatically impairs the oocyte's ability to participate in fertilization and support embryonic development; however, this loss of functionality can be prevented by supplementation with the antioxidant penicillamine. In conclusion, this study has revealed that the accumulation of electrophilic aldehydes is linked to postovulatory oocyte aging, causing reduced fertility, oxidative stress, and apoptosis of this highly specialized cell. These data highlight the importance of timely fertilization of the mammalian oocyte postovulation and emphasize the potential advantages associated with antioxidant supplementation of oocyte culture medium in circumstances where reinsemination of oocytes may be desirable (i.e., rescue intracytoplasmic sperm injection), or where in vitro fertilization may be delayed.

Effect of testosterone on markers of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and lipid metabolism in muscle of aging men with subnormal bioavailable testosterone.

Recent studies have indicated that serum testosterone in aging men is associated with insulin sensitivity and expression of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos), and that testosterone treatment increases lipid oxidation. Herein, we investigated the effect of testosterone therapy on regulators of mitochondrial biogenesis and markers of OxPhos and lipid metabolism in the skeletal muscle of aging men with subnormal bioavailable testosterone levels. Skeletal muscle biopsies were obtained before and after treatment with either testosterone gel (n=12) or placebo (n=13) for 6 months. Insulin sensitivity and substrate oxidation were assessed by euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp and indirect calorimetry. Muscle mRNA levels and protein abundance and phosphorylation of enzymes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, OxPhos, and lipid metabolism were examined by quantitative real-time PCR and western blotting. Despite an increase in lipid oxidation (P<0.05), testosterone therapy had no effect on insulin sensitivity or mRNA levels of genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis (PPARGC1A, PRKAA2, and PRKAG3), OxPhos (NDUFS1, ETFA, SDHA, UQCRC1, and COX5B), or lipid metabolism (ACADVL, CD36, CPT1B, HADH, and PDK4). Consistently, protein abundance of OxPhos subunits encoded by both nuclear (SDHA and UQCRC1) and mitochondrial DNA (ND6) and protein abundance and phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase and p38 MAPK were unaffected by testosterone therapy. The beneficial effect of testosterone treatment on lipid oxidation is not explained by increased abundance or phosphorylation-dependent activity of enzymes known to regulate mitochondrial biogenesis or markers of OxPhos and lipid metabolism in the skeletal muscle of aging men with subnormal bioavailable testosterone levels.

Long-term prognosis of patients with pediatric pheochromocytoma.

A third of patients with paraganglial tumors, pheochromocytoma, and paraganglioma, carry germline mutations in one of the susceptibility genes, RET, VHL, NF1, SDHAF2, SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, TMEM127, and MAX. Despite increasing importance, data for long-term prognosis are scarce in pediatric presentations. The European-American-Pheochromocytoma-Paraganglioma-Registry, with a total of 2001 patients with confirmed paraganglial tumors, was the platform for this study. Molecular genetic and phenotypic classification and assessment of gene-specific long-term outcome with second and/or malignant paraganglial tumors and life expectancy were performed in patients diagnosed at <18 years. Of 177 eligible registrants, 80% had mutations, 49% VHL, 15% SDHB, 10% SDHD, 4% NF1, and one patient each in RET, SDHA, and SDHC. A second primary paraganglial tumor developed in 38% with increasing frequency over time, reaching 50% at 30 years after initial diagnosis. Their prevalence was associated with hereditary disease (P=0.001), particularly in VHL and SDHD mutation carriers (VHL vs others, P=0.001 and SDHD vs others, P=0.042). A total of 16 (9%) patients with hereditary disease had malignant tumors, ten at initial diagnosis and another six during follow-up. The highest prevalence was associated with SDHB (SDHB vs others, P<0.001). Eight patients died (5%), all of whom had germline mutations. Mean life expectancy was 62 years with hereditary disease. Hereditary disease and the underlying germline mutation define the long-term prognosis of pediatric patients in terms of prevalence and time of second primaries, malignant transformation, and survival. Based on these data, gene-adjusted, specific surveillance guidelines can help effective preventive medicine.
