ABSTRACT
Studies suggested that postovulatory oocyte aging might be prevented by maintaining a high maturation-promoting factor (MPF) activity. Whether AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays any role in postovulatory oocyte aging is unknown. Furthermore, while activation of AMPK stimulates meiotic resumption in mouse oocytes, it inhibits meiotic resumption in pig and bovine oocytes. Thus, the species difference in AMPK regulation of oocyte MPF activities is worth in-depth studies. This study showed that AMPK activation with metformin or 5-aminoimidazole- 4-carboxamide- 1-beta-d- ribofuranoside and inactivation with compound C significantly increased and decreased, respectively, the activation susceptibility (AS) and other aging parameters in aging mouse oocytes. While AMPK activity increased, MPF activity and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) decreased significantly with time post ovulation. In vitro activation and inactivation of AMPK significantly decreased and increased the MPF activity, respectively. MPF upregulation with MG132 or downregulation with roscovitine completely abolished the effects of AMPK activation or inactivation on AS of aging oocytes, respectively. AMPK facilitated oocyte aging with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cytoplasmic calcium. Furthermore, treatment with Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK) inhibitors significantly decreased AS and AMPK activation. Taken together, the results suggested that AMPK facilitated oocyte aging through inhibiting MPF activities, and postovulatory oocyte aging activated AMPK with decreased cAMP by activating CaMKs via increasing ROS and cytoplasmic calcium.
