Ovarian tissue cryopreservation and future transplantation is the only strategy to preserve the fertility of young female adolescent and prepubertal patients. The primary challenge to ovarian graft longevity is the substantial loss of primordial follicles during the period of ischaemia post-transplantation. Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a precursor of the essential metabolite NAD+, is known to reduce ischaemic damage. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to assess the impact of short- and long-term NMN administration on follicle number and health following ovarian tissue transplantation. Hemi-ovaries from C57Bl6 mice (n = 8–12/group) were transplanted under the kidney capsule of bilaterally ovariectomised severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. Recipient mice were administered either normal drinking water or water supplemented with NMN (2 g/L) for either 14 or 56 days. At the end of each treatment period, ovarian transplants were collected. There was no effect of NMN on the resumption of oestrous or length of oestrous cycles. Transplantation significantly reduced the total number of follicles with the greatest impact observed at the primordial follicle stage. We report that NMN did not prevent this loss. While NMN did not significantly impact the proportion of apoptotic follicles, NMN normalised PCNA expression at the primordial and intermediate stages but not at later stages. In conclusion, NMN administration did not prevent ovarian follicle loss under the conditions of this study.

Supplementary Materials

    • Supplementary Figure: Follicle numbers in Day 0 non-transplanted control ovaries and in ovarian grafts in recipients administered either normal water or water supplemented with NMN (2g/L). On Day 14 (A) and Day 56 (B) ovarian transplants were collected and follicle number per section was determined and compared to Day 0 non-transplanted tissue. Data are presented as mean ± 95% CI. ***, P < 0.0001; **, P < 0.001; *, P < 0.05.

Reproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.

The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
