Abstract

Objective

To investigate the effect of membrane-spanning 4-domains subfamily member 6D (MS4A6D) gene knockout on the fertility of female mice.

Methods

On the basis of the successful construction of Ms4a6d gene knockout model mice

the homozygous Ms4a6d gene knockout (

-/-

) mice at an age of different weeks were subjected. Mouse genotype was identified with RT-qPCR and agarose gel electrophoresis. HE staining

immunofluorescence assay and ELISA were used to detect serum level of anti-müllerian hormone (AMH)

composition of macrophages and follicles at all levels in the ovaries of

-/-

mice

respectively. The fertility changes in pregnant rate and average litter size of female

-/-

mice were observed by fertility experiments.

Results

Compared with the wild-type (

+/+

) female mice at the same age

there were less macrophages in the ovarian tissues of the 2- and 4-week-old

-/-

female mice (

0.01)

but no significant difference was observed between the 2 types of mice at 8 weeks of age. For the adult

-/-

female mice at an age of 8 weeks

the ovarian coefficient was obviously lower (

0.01)

and the numbers of primordial

primary

secondary and antral follicles in the ovarian tissues was statistically lower (

0.05) when compared with the adult wild-type female mice a

t the same age. The serum AMH level was notably lower in the

-/-

female mice of all ages than the wild-type ones at corresponding ages (

0.05). The average pregnancy rate was 56% and the litter size was 4.1±1.1 in adult

-/-

female mice

which were significantly lower than those of wild-type mice of the same age (89% and 6.3±1.2).

Conclusion

Ms4a6d gene knockout decreases the number of macrophages in the ovarian tissues of adolescent females

interferes with the development of follicles in the ovarian tissues of adolescent females

and leads to a decrease in ovarian reserve in adult females and a decrease in fertility in adult females.
