Objective::This study aimed to explore the relationship between cohesin subunit REC8 reduction and meiosis chromosome segregation errors in the ovary.Methods::Rec8n +/- mice were generated using CRIPSR/Cas9 gene editing. The association between age and REC8 expression levels in the ovary was determined by Western blotting. Chromosome segregation errors were investigated by immunofluorescence imaging of superovulated oocytes. Wild-type and n Rec8n +/- female mice at 5, 8, 20, 36, and 40 weeks were used to evaluate ovarian reserve by ovarian clearing and immunolabeling.n Results::Ovary REC8 expression levels gradually decreased with age, while chromosome segregation errors increased with age. Segregation errors were more common in n Rec8n +/- mice, suggesting an association with REC8 expression. The ovarian reserve capacity decreased significantly with age. The ovarian reserve in n Rec8n +/- mice was inferior to that of age-matched wild-type mice, indicating important roles of age and REC8 levels in the ovarian reserve.n Conclusions::REC8 reduction has an age-cumulative effect on meiotic chromosome segregation errors in mouse ovaries. n Rec8 haploinsufficiency poses a major challenge in generating normal and reproductive oocytes in aging mice.n “,”Objective::This study aimed to explore the relationship between cohesin subunit REC8 reduction and meiosis chromosome segregation errors in the ovary.Methods::Rec8n +/- mice were generated using CRIPSR/Cas9 gene editing.
