Abstract: | The objectives were to quantify insulin-like growth factor receptor-1 (IGFR-1) mRNA in preantral follicles on Days 0 and 18 of in vitro culture in the presence or absence of FSH, and to evaluate the effects of IGF-I on the rate of normal follicles, antral cavity formation, and in vitro growth and maturation of caprine oocytes on Days 0, 6, 12, and 18 of culture. The expression of IGFR-1 was analyzed using real-time RT-PCR before and after follicle culture. Preantral follicles were isolated from the cortex of caprine ovaries and individually cultured for 18 d in the presence or absence of bovine IGF-I (50 or 100 ng/mL). At the end of the culture period, the oocytes were submitted to IVM. The expression of IGFR-1 mRNA in preantral follicles cultured in vitro only approached being significantly higher in follicles supplemented with FSH when compared to follicles immediately after recovery (P < 0.06) and cultured without FSH (P < 0.1). There was a higher (P < 0.05) percentage of normal follicles on Days 6, 12, and 18 of culture in IGF-I 50 (97, 92, 67%, respectively) and IGF-I 100 (100, 90, 80%) groups versus the control (90, 64, 36%). In addition, the rate of antrum formation at 6 and 12 d of culture was higher (P < 0.05) in IGF-I groups (IGF-I 50: 72 and 90% and IGF-I 100: 69 and 85%) than the control group (41 and 59%). After 18 d of culture, the percentages of grown oocytes acceptable for IVM were higher (P < 0.05) in follicles cultured in the presence of IGF-I (82 vs 49%). Furthermore, follicles cultured in the presence of IGF-I 50 and IGF-I 100 had higher (P < 0.05) meiotic resumption rates (63 and 66%, respectively) than the control group (11%). In conclusion, treatment with FSH tended to increase IGFR-1 mRNA expression during the in vitro culture of preantral follicles and the addition of IGF-I to the culture medium clearly improved the in vitro development of caprine preantral follicles. |
