AI Technical Summary
There is a lack of a safe and effective culture medium for improving the quality of aged oocytes, which is crucial for addressing the decline in fertility in older women due to declining oocyte quality, characterized by increased aneuploidy, oxidative stress, and apoptosis.
A culture medium containing tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) at a final concentration of 5-100 nM, preferably 50 nM, is used to improve the quality of aged oocytes by enhancing in vitro maturation, reducing fragmentation, and mitigating oxidative stress and apoptosis.
The culture medium significantly improves the in vitro maturation rate, reduces fragmentation, decreases apoptosis, restores mitochondrial function, and normalizes mitochondrial distribution, thereby improving oocyte quality in women over 30 years old or mice over 8 months old.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine and relates to a culture medium for improving the quality of aged oocytes. Background Art
[0002] Tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) is expressed in large quantities in various organs and tissues in the body. It is a key enzyme in the fibrinolytic pathway and is proteolytically processed by plasmin to produce a heterodimeric serine protease. The protease cleaves the zymogen to produce plasmin, which is a protease required to break down fibrin clots. Because of this property, it is currently the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat ischemic stroke caused by cerebral artery obstruction and has been widely used clinically. In addition, tPA is also involved in other biological processes, such as synaptic plasticity, cell migration, and tissue remodeling. Current work has shown that the addition of exogenous tPA can promote the growth of neurons (see: Lee, SH et al. tPA Regulates Neurite Outgrowth by Phosphorylation of LRP5 / 6 in Neural Progenitor Cells. Molecular Neurobiology 49, 199–215 (2014)). Recent work has also shown that adding an appropriate amount of tPA to the culture medium can improve corticosterone-induced apoptosis of mouse mural granular cells and fallopian tube epithelial cells (see: Hua, Q. et al. Role of tPA in Corticosterone-Induced Apoptosis of Mouse Mural Granulosa and Oviductal Epithelial Cells. Cells 12, 455 (2023)).
[0003] The decline in oocyte quality is an important feature of female reproductive aging and one of the main reasons for the decline in fertility in older women. Many literatures have reported that after women reach the age of 35, oocyte quality begins to decline sharply, characterized by increased aneuploidy, increased oxidative stress, decreased mitochondrial quality, increased apoptosis and lipid peroxidation levels, etc., which may lead to adverse consequences such as infertility, spontaneous abortion, and embryo arrest. At present, due to complex factors such as social and economic development, delayed childbearing in women has become an important trend. Therefore, improving the decline in oocyte quality caused by aging has become an important measure to maintain the fertility of older women.
[0004] However, there are still limited methods to improve the quality of aged oocytes. There is no culture medium specifically for in vitro maturation of aged oocytes on the market, and its safety has not been fully proven, so these studies have not been widely used. Therefore, if a safer culture medium specifically for aged oocytes is studied, it will be of great significance to older women who want to have children but have difficulty in ovulation. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a safer culture medium for improving the quality of aged oocytes in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art. The culture medium can be applied to oocytes from women over 30 years old or female mice over 8 months old, and can significantly improve the quality of aged oocytes.
[0006] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A culture medium for improving the quality of aged oocytes in vitro, comprising tissue plasminogen activator with a final concentration of 5-100 nM.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the final concentration of tissue plasminogen activator in the culture medium is 50 nM.
[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tissue plasminogen activator is a recombinant protein of active tissue plasminogen activator derived from human or mouse.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the aged oocytes are derived from either human or mouse.
[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the aged oocytes are derived from human females over 30 years old or female mice over 8 months old.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the culture medium is obtained by adding a concentrated stock solution of tissue-type plasminogen activator to any one of M2 culture medium, M16 culture medium, G-1TM PLUS and CZB culture medium as a base culture medium.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the concentrated stock solution of tissue plasminogen activator is prepared by dissolving tPA in a buffer solution containing a carrier protein.
[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the concentration of the concentrated stock solution of tissue plasminogen activator is 100 μg / ml-500 μg / ml.
[0015] As further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the carrier protein is 0.1% bovine serum albumin, 5% human serum albumin, 10% fetal bovine serum or 5% trehalose, preferably 0.1% bovine serum albumin.
[0016] As a further preference of the present invention, the buffer is sterile water or phosphate buffer; preferably phosphate buffer.
