摘要： Exposure to nicotine by cigarette smoking have shown strongly defectives on the physiological function of ovaries, which in turn leads to disorders of fertility in women. However, the potential molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. In this study, we notably found that nicotine was likely to specifically raise the expression of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) to promote the apoptosis and autophagy of granulosa cells (GCs) and block follicular maturation. Moreover, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) inhibited the apoptosis of GCs and facilitated follicular maturation, and nicotine appeared to inhibit PGE2 secretion by freezing the expression of cyclooxygenase 1 (COX1), which was the rate-limiting and essential enzyme for PGE2 synthesis. Epigenetically, the nicotine was observed to diminish the histone H3 lysine 9 acetylation (H3K9ac) level and compact the chromatin accessibility in -1776/-1499 bp region of COX1 by evoking the expression of HDAC3, with the deactivated Cas9-HDAC3/sgRNA system. Mechanistically, the COX1 protein was found to pick up and degrade the autophagy related protein beclin 1 (BECN1) to control the autophagy of GCs. These results provided a potential new molecular therapy to recover the damage of female fertility induced by nicotine from cigarette smoking.
