山羊卵母细胞的减数分裂进程

The meiotic progression of goat oocytes from follicles of different diameters was investigated in this study. The results were summarized as follows: (1) The in vitro meiotic maturation capacity was different among oocytes from follicles of different diameters. And thus oocytes from < or = 0.5 mm follicles were unable to resume meiosis; oocytes from 0.8-1.2 mm follicles were capable to resume meiosis, but could develop only to MI stage (60% at 24 h); oocytes from 1.5-5 mm follicles had acquired full-meiotic maturation capacity and 91% of them developed to M II stage at 24 h of culture. (2) The percentage of oocytes with intact-germinal vesicles from 1.5-5 mm follicles decreased significantly during 2-8 h of in vitro maturation and the decrease was even more rapid during 4-6 h of culture (from 60% to 19%, p < 0.0005). The percentage of oocytes at M I-stage increased from 24% to 61% during 6-12 h of in vitro maturation, and it then decreased. By 24 h of culture, only 2% oocytes remained at M I-stage. Twenty one percent of the oocytes in this group developed to M II-stage at 16 h of culture, and by 24 h of culture, 91% were at M II-stage. (3) Statistic analysis of the meiotic progression (the duration of each cell cycle stage) of oocytes from 1.5-5 mm follicles showed that GV stage lasted from 0 to 3 h of culture, prometaphase-I stage was from 3.0 to 7.0 h, metaphase-I stage was from 7.0 to 14.6 h, anaphase-I/telophase-I was from 14.6 to 18.4 h and metaphase-II stage lasted from 18.4 to 24 h. (4) Whether the oocytes capable of GVBD and entrance of M I developed to M II, the timing of meiotic progression prior to M I was similar. In summary, our results provided necessary data for studies on the mechanisms and control of meiosis in mammalian oocytes.     

山羊卵母细胞的减数分裂进程

本实验以随机屠宰山羊的卵巢为实验材料,研究了不同直径卵泡卵母细胞的减数分裂进程。结果显示,不同直径卵泡卵母细胞在体外成熟培养条件下的减数分裂能力不同:≤0.5mm直径卵泡的卵母细胞不能恢复减数分裂;0.8-1.2mm卵泡的卵母细胞可恢复减数分裂,但只能发育到MⅠ期,培养24h发育到MⅠ期比率60%;1.5-5.0mm卵泡卵母细胞已经完全获得减数分裂能力,培养24h发育到MⅡ的比例91%。完全获得减数分裂能力的1.5-5.0mm卵泡卵母细胞处于生发泡(GV)期的比率在成熟培养2-8h期间明显下降;其中,4-6h期间GⅤ比率下降最为迅速(由61%降低到19%,p<0.0005);体外培养6-12h期间MⅠ比率由25%上升到60%,随后下降,到24h仅有2%卵母细胞处于MⅠ期;培养16h有21%卵母细胞进入MⅡ期,24h 91%卵母细胞到达MⅡ期。对卵母细胞体外核成熟进程的数据做折线图计算结果表明,1.5-5.0mm卵泡卵母细胞减数分裂进程(各细胞周期事件出现和维持的时间)为:0-3.0h为GⅤ期,3.0-7.0h为前中期Ⅰ,7.0-14.6h为MⅠ期,14.6-18.4h处于后期-Ⅰ和末期-Ⅰ,18.4-24h为MⅡ期。本实验还证明,部分获得减数分裂能力(0.8-1.2mm卵泡)与完全获得减数分裂能力(1.5-5mm卵泡)的卵母细胞,其各细胞周期事件一旦发生,所需的时间是相同的。这些结果为进一步研究山羊卵母细胞减数分裂机制及其调控提供了重要的基础数据。     

灵长类卵母细胞体外发育潜能的调控

灵长类卵母细胞细胞质成熟调控研究较为滞后,使得体外成熟的灵长类卵母细胞的胚胎发育潜能十发低下。提高其潜能对治疗人类不育症有重要的应用价值,并可推动灵长类胚胎发育的研究。基于猕猴卵母细胞质成熟调控研究,讨论了无血清成熟培养基中雌激素和孕激素、能量物质、氨基酸对卵母细胞质成熟的影响,以及动物年龄和生殖周期与发育潜能的关系。从分子水平进一步解释这些因素的作用,阐明卵母细胞质成熟的机理将是今后工作的方向。

"两步法"体外培养山羊卵母细胞的超微结构观察

有假说认为,卵母细胞在体外培养过程中,如果延长GV期,可促进卵母细胞进一步成熟,因而提高发育潜能。采用山羊半卵泡和卵母细胞共培养,抑制卵母细胞GVBD发生,从而延长GV期。比较了共培养前后和恢复成熟培养后卵母细胞的超微结构变化,其目的从亚细胞水平寻找卵母细胞进一步成熟的证据。研究发现,常规成熟培养:有卵周隙存在,但不贯通,局部区域卵膜与透明带结合紧密;部分皮质区尚有细胞器存在;微绒毛大部分从透明带中撤出,倒伏于质膜表面,数量较多,形态较为粗大;皮层颗粒质膜下部分单层分布,部分散布于皮质区;线粒体均匀散布于卵质中央区。共培养前:卵母细胞的卵周隙尚未形成,微绒毛没有从透明带中撤出;线粒体等细胞器分布于皮质区,皮层颗粒成簇状分布,皮质区富含细胞器。共培养后:局部形成卵周隙,微绒毛已自透明带中撤出,数量较多,垂直或倒伏于卵膜表面;线粒体以簇状分批开始内移,皮层颗粒已部分单层分布于质膜下,部分皮质区缺乏细胞器。恢复成熟培养后:卵周隙进一步扩大并且贯通,微绒毛数量减少并且绝大多数垂直于卵膜;线粒体在卵质中央区均匀分布,皮层颗粒卵膜下单层分布,大部分皮质区无细胞器存在。利用“两步法”培养得到的卵母细胞与体外常规成熟培养的卵母细胞相比,更有利于皮层颗粒的质膜下单层分布,卵母细胞卵周隙的形成与贯通,微绒毛数量减少和垂直于卵膜表面,无细胞器皮层区的进一步形成。因此,更有利于卵母细胞胞质的进一步成熟。     

山羊卵母细胞体外成熟过程中线粒体的动态分布

目的研究山羊卵母细胞减数分裂过程中线粒体的动态分布。方法收集山羊卵母细胞,在M199中分别培养4、8、12、16、20和24 h,用特异性线粒体标记探针进行标记,用激光扫描共聚焦显微镜观察线粒体的分布情况。结果生发泡期线粒体多分散在卵母细胞的胞质内,并且距生发泡有一定的距离;生发泡破裂期线粒体逐渐移向染色质;第一次减数分裂中期与第二次减数分裂中期线粒体成簇密布在染色体周围。排出的第一极体中也含有大量的线粒体。结论同其他哺乳动物卵母细胞体外成熟过程中线粒体分布情况相比,线粒体在山羊卵母细胞中的分布具有明显的相似性。线粒体密布在成熟卵母细胞染色体周围可能与极体的排出和受精后染色体的迁移有关。     

犬卵母细胞的体内成熟环境与体外成熟培养

犬(Canis familiaris)是生物医学研究的最重要模型动物之一.但由于生殖生理的特殊性,其卵母细胞的体外培养成熟率低,辅助生殖研究进展缓慢,严重制约了该动物在生物科学研究中的运用.在犬科动物体内,排卵前卵母细胞处于高浓度孕酮的卵泡环境中,在生发泡期排到输卵管内,并在此恢复和完成减数分裂.因此,犬卵母细胞体外成熟所需的条件不同于其他哺乳动物,目前主要采用以添加相关因子的M199作为培养液,但体外培养发育至MⅡ期的比率仅为15%～20%.所以,必须在了解犬卵母细胞体内成熟机制的基础上,建立一套类似于体内生理环境的体外成熟培养体系.本文在阐述犬卵母细胞体内成熟生理过程的基础上,对其体外成熟培养方法和影响因素的研究现状进行分析,为相关研究提供参考.     

Effects of Zinc Supplementation During In Vitro Maturation on Meiotic Maturation of Oocytes and Developmental Capacity in Yak

Zinc (Zn) is an essential trace element that is required during mammalian developmental processes. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Zn supplementation during in vitro maturation (IVM) on the developmental capacity of yak (Bos grunniens) oocytes. Cumulus expansion, nuclear maturation, intracellular glutathione (GSH), reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, subsequent embryonic development, and the expression of Zn transporters (ZnTs) and Zrt and Irt-like proteins (ZiPs) were evaluated. The Zn concentrations in yak plasma and follicular fluid were 0.740?±?0.012 and 0.382?±?0.009 μg/mL, respectively. The cumulus expansion did not show significant differences in COCs after matured with or without Zn supplementation (P?>?0.05). The intracellular GSH was higher in oocytes matured with 1 or 2 mg/L Zn than in control group (0 mg/L) (P?<?0.05). However, ROS levels of oocytes matured with 1 or 2 mg/L Zn were reduced significantly compared with the control and 0.5 mg/L groups (P?<?0.05). The SOD activity was increased significantly after Zn supplementation. The cleavage rate was not significantly different after Zn supplementation (P?>?0.05). Percentages of matured oocytes that developed into the blastocyst stage after IVF were 47.9, 50.5, 60.4, and 58.9% for 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/L Zn groups, respectively. Gene expression analysis revealed that the expression patterns associated with Zn were changed after Zn supplementation. In conclusion, Zn supplementation to IVM improved yak oocyte maturation and subsequent development by increasing GSH and SOD activity, decreasing ROS in oocytes.     

Developmental Competence of Vitrified-Warmed Bovine Oocytes at the Germinal-Vesicle Stage is Improved by Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate Modulators during In Vitro Maturation

Cryopreservation of mature oocytes and embryos has provided numerous benefits in reproductive medicine. Although successful cryopreservation of germinal-vesicle stage (GV) oocytes holds promise for further advances in reproductive biology and clinical embryology fields, reports regarding cryopreservation of immature oocytes are limited. Oocyte survival and maturation rates have improved since vitrification is being performed at the GV stage, but the subsequent developmental competence of GV oocytes is still low. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of supplementation of the maturation medium with cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) modulators on the developmental competence of vitrified-warmed GV bovine oocytes. GV oocytes were vitrified-warmed and cultured to allow for oocyte maturation, and then parthenogenetically activated or fertilized in vitro. Our results indicate that addition of a cAMP modulator forskolin (FSK) or 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) to the maturation medium significantly improved the developmental competence of vitrified-warmed GV oocytes. We also demonstrated that vitrification of GV oocytes led to a decline in cAMP levels and maturation-promoting factor (MPF) activity in the oocytes during the initial and final phases of maturation, respectively. Nevertheless, the addition of FSK or IBMX to the maturation medium significantly elevated cAMP levels and MPF activity during IVM. Taken together, our results suggest that the cryopreservation-associated meiotic and developmental abnormalities observed in GV oocytes may be ameliorated by an artificial increase in cAMP levels during maturation culture after warming.     

牛卵母细胞体外成熟的研究

牛卵母细胞的成熟过程中,包括细胞膜、细胞质、细胞核的成熟。其中细胞质的成熟最为复杂。线粒体、皮质颗粒数量的变化和位移,脂滴类型的变化和形态改变,空泡形态学的变化等是鉴别卵母细胞幼稚、成熟和老化的重要特征。透明带随着培养而外侧疏松,内侧致密,母卵细胞膜上伸出的微绒毛为膨大泡状和细长毛状两种。在培养１４小时后颗粒细胞与透明带脱离联系。根据综合指标判定,１８小时这前为成熟生长期,１８￣２６小时为成熟期,     

Effects of Prolactin in Different Culture Systems on the Maturation of Bovine Oocytes and Their Capacity for Subsequent Development

We studied the influence of bovine prolactin on the maturation of cumulus-enclosed bovine oocytes in different culture systems as well as on their capacity for subsequent development after in vitrofertilization. The prolactin effect on chromosome transformations in oocytes depended on the hormone concentration in the medium with fetal calf serum. Prolactin at 50 ng/ml proved to stimulate nuclear maturation of the oocytes. This concentration was used to compare various systems of oocytes cultivation. The prolactin effect on bovine oocytes maturation and their capacity for subsequent development depended on the composition of the cultivation medium. The introduction of prolactin into the medium with fetal calf serum, estradiol, and a follicle-stimulating hormone had no effect on the reinitiation of meiosis in the oocytes but stimulated its completion, which increased the proportion of the oocytes at telophase I and metaphase II stages as well as the proportion of the eggs cleft after fertilization. Prolactin affected neither the nuclear maturation nor the capacity for further development of the oocytes cultivated in the medium with the serum of estrous cows. The addition of prolactin to the medium with calf serum where the oocytes and granulosa cells were cocultured increased the subsequent yield of the embryos developed to the morula and blastocyst stages. In this culture system, the hormone did not affect the rate of oocytes that reached the final stages of meiosis but inhibited their transition from telophase I to metaphase II. We propose that prolactin may favor the completion of cytoplasmic modifications going into the maturing oocyte.     

猪卵母细胞的体外受精及多精受精

对用于猪体外受精(IVF)的研究方法和技术,如传统的液滴IVF、透明带下注射精子受精(SUZI)、卵母细胞质内单精注射受精(ICSI)及细管IVF等进行了简述。与其它动物相比,进行猪卵的体外受精研究,多精受精现象特别明显。大量的研究表明,猪卵的多精受精不但与其品种特性有关,而且与卵母细胞成熟的程度、透明带的异常、受精时获能精子的浓度、输卵管分泌物、受精液蛋白添加成分、NaHCO3浓度、咖啡因、pH值以及温度等因素密切相关。
