雌核发育银鲫卵抑制异源精子原核化的作用模式初探

雌核发育银鲫卵能抑制异源精子原核化,其个体发育完全由雌核控制。本实验通过去核、卵质转移和去除卵膜等手段,初步揭示了银鲫卵抑制异源精子原核化的作用,提出了双重控制的假说,即银鲫卵对异源精子具有初级控制和次级控制功能。初级控制可能是由于在精子进入卵子深部的通道上存在着某种特殊的抑制物的缘故,而次级控制的产生则可能是因为银鲫卵质中缺少某种两性融合生殖鱼类卵质所具有的促精子核化物质。     

Cytological Mechanism on the Integration of Heterologous Genome or Chromosomes in the Unique Gynogenetic Carassius auratus gibelio

银鲫（ＣａｒａｓｉｕｓａｕｒａｔｕｓｇｉｂｅｌｉｏＢｌｏｃｈ）是行天然雌核发育生殖的两性型三倍体鱼类,与普通两性融合生殖鱼类相比,具有独特的育种优势。八十年代以来,异育银鲫、复合四倍体异育银鲫的发现表明,雌核发育卵子不但具有保持自身全部染色体的能力,还能整合异源精子的部分遗传物质或整个基因组,影响雌核发育后代的性状。因此,搞清楚异源基因组的整合机制对于进一步弄清其发育模式以及诱导复合多倍体银鲫均具有十分重要的作用。两性融合发育鱼类的精子入卵后,精核在促精核活化因子的诱导下,可以逐渐解凝并形成雄性原核;而在天然雌核发育银鲫受精卵中,精核的解凝和原核化却被抑制。去掉卵壳的控制作用后,精核虽能在卵质中解凝却仍不能形成雄性原核（Ｆｉｇ．１）。可见,雌核发育银鲫与两性融合发育鱼类的卵质间必定存在某些差异。对哺乳类和两栖类卵质诱导精核原核化作用的研究表明,ＤＴＴ和蛋白水解酶能够分别还原精核组蛋白中ＳＳ和水解精核组蛋白,从而诱导精核在卵质中形成雄性原核。本文通过显微注射以及冷休克处理等诱导方法,探讨了人工诱导外源精核在银鲫卵中解凝和原核化,培育银鲫复合种的细胞学机制。实验结果显示,向银鲫卵质中注入胰蛋白酶、ＤＴＴ和     

人工转性异育银鲫精子在两性融合型和雌核发育型卵质中的发育特征及其应用意义

通过甲基睾丸素诱导产生的雄性雌核发育银鲫产生的精子,能与两性融合生殖的鲤鱼卵受精结合,并能正常地转化为雄性原核。但在卵裂开始后,可观察到诸如核物质丢失、多极分裂等异常现象。从而进一步证实了作者过去提出的染色体不相容假设。转性异育银鲫精核在雌核发育银鲫卵中能初步地转化为雄性原核,但其发育程度低于雌核。根据双重控制假设,作者初步认为,转性异育银鲫精子在进入雌核发育型卵的过程中没有受到初级控制的作用。这或许是因为转性雄鱼的雌性遗传基础导致精子的某种特异性因子缺失的缘故。由于雌核发育银鲫卵质中次级控制的存在,使得解凝的精核不能完全转化为雄性原核。     

雌核发育和两性融合发育鱼卵调控精核受精发育的生化特性研究

两性融合生殖的鱼卵受精后,精核能疏松、解凝,形成雄性原核：雌核发育银鲫卵子受精后,精核发育受到抑制,无法形成原核。采用显微注射去膜精核以及细胞学和电镜观察的方法,本文对两类鱼卵受精后精核早期发育的生化性质进行了初步探讨,并着重研究了雌核发育银鲫卵子控制精核发育的生化特征。实验结果显示,两性融合生殖鱼类卵质中,一定量的Ｃａ２＋的存在,二硫键的还原作用对于精核的发育显然是必要的;而在雌核发育银鲫卵中,Ｃａ２＋的功能和二硫键的还原作用与精核发育受到抑制之间并无直接联系。银鲫卵质中似乎显示出异常的磷酸酶脂解活性,导致磷酸化过程无法进行,使精核解凝受到阻碍。另外,两性融合生殖的鱼卵重质层中具有大量诱导精核原核化的有关因子,而银鲫卵质中则缺少该因子（或活性极低）。银鲫卵质中还可能缺乏某些与雄性原核的核膜重组装有关的大分子物质。     

异源四倍体银鲫外周血和精巢的组织学特征

通过比较D 系三倍体银鲫 (Carassius auratus gibelio Bloch) 与异源四倍体银鲫, 我们发现异源四倍体的外周血与精巢组织跟三倍体银鲫存在明显差异。HE 染色结果表明, 异源四倍体银鲫外周血红细胞有明显的分裂倾向。利用流式细胞术对D 系三倍体银鲫与异源四倍体银鲫外周血的DNA 直方图进行比较, 结果表明异源四倍体外周血的DNA 直方图有两个主峰。此外, 我们观察到异源四倍体银鲫精巢的三种类型, 其中Ⅰ型精巢可以产生正常精子, Ⅱ型可观察到精小囊结构, 但不能产生精子, Ⅲ型精巢未发育出精小囊结构。进一步用银鲫Vasa 抗体对精巢切片进行组织免疫荧光共聚焦显微分析, 结果表明, Ⅰ型精巢的生殖细胞完成了减数分裂, 能观察到精原细胞、初级精母细胞、次级精母细胞, 以及大量位于精小管中间的精子细胞和精子; 而Ⅱ型精巢的生殖细胞不能完成第二次减数分裂, 精小囊中存在大量的初级和次级精母细胞, 没有精子细胞产生。研究丰富了对异源四倍体银鲫生物学性状的认识。       

天然雌核发育银鲫卵子控制异源精核发育的受精学机制

作者对两性融合生殖鱼和雌核发育银鲫脱膜卵受精的精核发育进行了观察,并采用鱼类卵子无细胞系对以上两类卵质提取物体外诱导经Ｔｒｉｔｏｎ—Ｘ１００处理的精子及其发育进行了初步研究,结果表明在两性融合生殖型脱膜鱼卵中精核通过解凝最终形成原核,而在雌核发育的银鲫脱膜卵子中部分精核体积虽有一定程度的增加,但始终没有观察到原核的发育;在体外诱导实验中,经Ｔｒｉｔｏｎ—Ｘ１００处理的精子在两类卵质提取物中充分发育,都出现了类似体内原核的状态。该现象提示在银鲫卵质中存在有促使精核形成原核的因子,但在正常受精状态下,由于银鲫卵质促使精核核膜解体的功能的异常,使覆盖精子头部的核膜不能象在两性融合生殖受精卵子中进行崩解,精核进一步的原核发育受到抑制。另外,建立体外诱导系统的重要意义,在于它为研究雌核发育调控的分子学机制提供了一条有效途径。     

银鲫(Carassius auratus gibelio)成熟精子染色质的结构和碱性蛋白的研究

银鲫属行雌核发育的遗传系统,其精子入卵后不能形成雄性原核。如同其它种类的精子一样,在精子发生过程中其染色质形成高度浓缩的具有一定结构的DNA和碱性蛋白的复合物。为了研究分析银鲫成熟精子的碱性蛋白、染色质的结构及其与体细胞染色质的异同,我们用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分析了银鲫精子碱性蛋白的组分,并结合核酸酶解的结果,以电镜铺片和超薄切片法探讨了银鲫染色质的结构。聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分析表明,银鲫精子的碱??性蛋白为含H_1、H_2a、H_2b、H_3及H_4五个主要组分的组蛋白,且与体细胞核组蛋白无明显差异。电镜铺片法观察精子染色质,可见染色质丝的近100A粗细的串珠状结构。小球菌核酸酶水解精子染色质,DNA的琼脂糖电泳呈“阶梯型”电泳条带,证实了银鲫成熟精子保存了核小体基本单元,在低渗处理后的精子超薄切片中,可以见到直径为300A左右的染色质纤维,这个结果提示了精子染色质与体细胞染色体有类似的二级结构。根据以上所得到的结果推测,行雌核发育的银鲫,其精子在入卵后不能原核化,与精子染色质的基本结构及碱性蛋白组分无明显直接关系。     

异源四倍体鲫鲤的受精细胞学

异源四倍体鲫鲤的成熟卵子处于第二次减数分裂中期,精子通过受精孔进入卵内。精子入卵以来,受精孔立即被受精塞堵住。受精后8min,受精卵出现明显的精子星光,同时进入第二次减数分裂后期,即将排出第二极体;13min时,精子头部开始膨胀,趋向核化;18min时,雌雄原核均已形成,并向胚盘中央靠近;23min时,雌,雄原核开始接触;33min时,雌,雄原核完全融合成为一个合子核;38min时,受精卵开始第一次卵裂,53min后分裂形成两个子核。该研究证明异源四倍体鲫鲤和大多数二倍体鱼一样,具有正常的受精细胞学程序,受精方式为单精受精。

异源精子在银鲫雌核发育子代中的生物学效应

黑龙江省方正县双凤水库的两性型银鲫群体是三倍体雌核发育种群。异源精子不仅能刺激银鲫卵雌核发育,而且还能影响雌核发育子代的某些性状,如对于子代的生长、性比、体色和肝脏LDH同工酶等都产生了影响。为区别于原有术语“雌核发育gynogenesis”,我们把这种表现了异源精子生物学效应的雌核发育称之为“异精雌核发育allogynogenesis”,发育的子代称之为“异育银鲫”。异育银鲫已以其明显的生长优势在生产上显示了优良的经济性状。       

An ultrastructural study of cross-fertilization (Arbacia female x Mytilus male)

Insemination of sea urchin (Arbacia) ova with mussel (Mytilus) sperm has been accomplished by treating eggs with trypsin and suspending the gametes in seawater made alkaline with NaOH. Not all inseminated eggs undergo a cortical granule reaction. Some eggs either elevate what remains of their vitelline layer or demonstrate no cortical modification whatsoever. After its incorporation into the egg, the nucleus of Mytilus sperm undergoes changes which eventually give rise to the formation of a male pronucleus. Concomitant with these transformations, a sperm aster may develop in association with the centrioles brought into the egg with the spermatozoon. Both the male pronucleus and the sperm aster may then migrate centrad to the female pronucleus. Evidence is presented which suggests that fusion of the male pronuclei from Mytilus sperm with female pronuclei from Arbacia eggs may occur, although this was not directly observed. These results demonstrate that Mytilus sperm nuclei are able to react to conditions within Arbacia eggs and differentiate into male pronuclei.     

Role of the cytoskeleton in sperm entry during fertilization in the freshwater bivalve Dreissena polymorpha

The present study examined the role of the cytoskeleton in sperm entry and migration through the egg cytoplasm during fertilization in the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha (Bivalvia: Veneroida: Dreissenidae). Fertilization in this freshwater bivalve occurs outside the mantle cavity, permitting detailed observations of fertilization. After its initial binding to the egg surface, the sperm is incorporated in two stages: (1) a gradual incorporation of the sperm nucleus into the egg cortex, followed by (2) a more rapid incorporation of the sperm axoneme, and translocation of the sperm head through the egg cytoplasm. Initial incorporation into the egg cortex was shown to be microfilament dependent. Microfilaments were found in the sperm's preformed acrosomal filament, the microvilli on the egg surface, and in an actin-filled insemination cone surrounding the incorporating sperm. Treatment of eggs with cytochalasin B inhibited sperm entry in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Microtubule polymerization was not necessary for initial sperm entry. Following incorporation of the sperm head, the flagellar axoneme entered the egg cytoplasm and remained active for several minutes. Associated with the incorporated axoneme was a flow of cytoplasmic particles originating near the proximal end of the flagella. Inhibition of microtubule polymerization prevented entry of the sperm axoneme, and the subsequent cytoplasmic current was not observed. After sperm incorporation into the egg cortex, no appreciable microfilaments were associated with the sperm nucleus. A diminutive sperm aster was associated with the sperm nucleus during its decondensation, but no obvious extension toward the female pronucleus was observed. The sperm aster was significantly smaller than the spindle associated with the female pronucleus, suggesting a reduced role for the sperm aster in amphimixis.     

Transformation of sperm nuclei into male pronuclei in nucleate and anucleate fragments of parthenogenetic mouse eggs

Our objective was to examine the ability of nucleate and anucleate fragments of artificially activated mouse eggs to transform sperm nucleus into male pronucleus. To this end, zona-free oocytes in metaphase II were activated by ethanol and bisected into halves (one with the spindle, the other anucleate) either within 10 to 20 min (series A) or 3 or 5 hr later (series B). In series A, the fragments were inseminated 3,5, and 8 h after activation, and in series B. 3 and 5 h after activation. Both nucleate and anucleate fragments lose the capability of transforming sperm nucleus into fully formed pronucleus sometime between 3 and 5 h after activation. In 8 h old parthenogenetic fragments, the majority of sperm nuclei remain unchanged or begin decondensation but never reach the stage of an early pronucleus. In over 1/3 of anucleate fragments of this age group, sperm nuclei develop defectively: chromatin decondenses inside the persisting nuclear envelope. In other experimental groups, the incidence of these abnormal sperm nuclei varies between 0 and 10%. In general, the anuclcate fragments retain the capability to transform sperm nuclei (fully or partially) longer than their nuclear counterparts. This difference may be accounted for by a different level of substances required for pronuclcar growth (extrachromosomal constituents of the germinal vesicle and nuclear lamins): high and constant in the cytoplasm of anucleate egg halves and low and progressively decreasing in the nucleate halves because of their putative uptake by the female pronucleus. However, the cytoplasmic factors responsible for the initial stages of transformation (nuclear envelope breakdown, chromatin decondensation) become eventually inactivated both in the presence and in the absence of a female pronucleus.

Experimental hybridization among Oryzias species. II. Karyogamy and abnormality of chromosome separation in the cleavage of interspecific hybrids between Oryzias latipes and O. javanicus

In interspecific hybridization between Oryzias latipes and O. javanicus, all hybrid embryos failed to develop and died before hatching. Cytological examination of fertilization and early development was performed to discover the cause of lethal development. When O. latipes eggs were inseminated by sperm of O. javanicus, the cortical reaction was induced normally. Chromosomal material in the fertilized eggs was visualized using the DNA-specific fluorochrome Hoechst. The spermatozoon was capable of penetrating into the egg cytoplasm through the micropyle, and the sperm nucleus transformed to the male pronucleus. The female pronucleus that formed after extrusion of the second polar body migrated towards the male pronucleus. The female and the male pronuclei underwent DNA synthesis and encountered each other in the center of the blastodisc, fused with one another and formed a zygote nucleus before breakdown of the nuclear envelope. Metaphase chromosomes with electron dense chromatin regions were abnormally divided into each blastomere in cleavage. The abnormally separating chromatin masses were also labeled by BrdU. The abnormal separation resulting in partial loss of fragmented chromatin might be a cause of abortive development in the interspecific hybrids between O. latipes and O. javanicus.

Intracellular localization of argyrophilic proteins in the maturing oocyte,fertilized egg,and spermatozoa of the starfish,Asterina pectinifera

Changes in intracellular localization of argyrophilic proteins visualized as silver-stained particles by nuclear organizer region (NOR)-silver staining were investigated in starfish oocyte maturation. The silver-stained particles were localized in the germinal vesicle and nucleolus of immature oocytes and dispersed into the cytoplasm at the time of germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD). In the mature egg cytoplasm, silver-stained particles were distributed on yolk-like granules with diameters of 0.3–1.0 μm. In spermatozoa, silver-stained particles were detected heavily in the acrosome and centrosomes but few were detected in the nucleus, whereas they were present in the male pronucleus of fertilized eggs. The silver-stained particles were removed by pretreatment of eggs with protease but not with nuclease. These results indicate that argyrophilic proteins disperse to the egg cytoplasm during GVBD and might be incorporated to the male pronucleus from the egg cytoplasm in fertilization. The morphological changes from chromosomes through chromosome vesicles to female pronucleus were also observed with light microscopy after NOR-silver staining.
