Figure 1 (A) Lipid content of human cumulus cells. Cumulus cells were isolated from cumulus-oocyte complexes, pooled, and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at time of oocyte retrieval. Fixed cumulus cells were then stained with Bodipy FL C16 (green) for lipid detection and diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; blue) for nuclei. Images were captured with the use of a confocal microscope, using a ×63 oil objective, and quantified with the use of ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health; see Materials and Methods). (B) Regression of follicular fluid (FF) cortisol with cumulus cell (CC) lipid content. FF cortisol levels were determined with the use of liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. Cumulus cell lipid content of ≥20 cells per patient was determined with the use of immunofluorescent confocal microscopy and quantified with the use of ImageJ. Adjusted for maternal age, FF cortisol levels were negatively correlated with cumulus cell lipid content (r = −.46; P<.01).

Figure 2 Regression of follicular fluid (FF) cortisol levels with numbers of (A) total oocytes, (B) mature (metaphase II [MII]) oocytes, and (C) immature oocytes retrieved. Adjusted for maternal age, FF cortisol levels were positively correlated with numbers of total and MII oocytes (r = 0.37; P<.05). There was no correlation between FF cortisol levels and numbers of immature oocytes (r = 0.22; P=.5).

Figure 3 Messenger RNA expression of target genes in human cumulus cells. RNA from pooled cumulus cells was isolated at the time of oocyte retrieval (see Materials and Methods). Messenger RNA levels of (A) 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD) types 1 and 2; and (B) glucocorticoid receptor (NR3C1), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) were determined with the use of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and calculated with the use of the formula 2ΔCt. Cumulus cells preferentially expressed mRNA for 11β-HSD1 over 11β-HSD2, as well as LPL over HSL. H295R adrenocortical cells, adipose stem cells, and human adipose tissue were used as positive control samples for the target genes, respectively. Error bars represent 1 SEM.

Figure 4 Hypothesis of work. Proper oocyte meiotic resumption requires energy in the form of free fatty acid (FFA), likely derived from cumulus cells through cumulus-oocyte signaling via gap junctions and secreted factors. Breakdown of triglycerides into readily available FFA requires enzymatic action of LPL and HSL, which can be activated by the glucocorticoid cortisol, as in other target tissues. Cortisol and cortisone enter the follicle from the circulation and are interconverted by the enzymes 11β-HSD types 1 and 2 present in the cumulus cells. In response to the LH surge/hCG administration, 11β-HSD type 1 is the predominant isoform, giving rise to cortisol elevation within the follicle. Thus, intrafollicular cortisol may interact with cumulus cell LPL and HSL enzymes to break down triglyceride into FFA, providing a source of energy via mitochondrial beta-oxidation during oocyte meiotic resumption.
