The ability of parthenogenetically activated mouse eggs to establish a plasma membrane (PM) block to sperm penetration was studied. Zona-free eggs preloaded with Hoechst 33342 were activated by exposure to ethanol or OAG (1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol) and inseminated after different periods. Eggs challenged with sperm at 30- or 60-min postactivation displayed a fertilization frequency significantly lower than that of control eggs. Conversely, when insemination was carried out at 120-min postactivation, the proportion of fertilized eggs was equivalent to that observed in the control group. Moreover, we report that when the eggs were induced to resume meiosis without any notable loss of CGs (egg exposure to OAG at 100 μM external Ca2+ or to heat shock), a normal ability to be penetrated was recorded at 30-min postactivation. Similar behaviour was exhibited by eggs that underwent a CG exocytosis close to that triggered by sperm in absence of nuclear activation (microinjection of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate into the egg at 1 μM cytosolic concentration). Present data support the conclusion that parthenogenetically activated mouse eggs are capable of a transitory PM block response that requires both CG exocytosis and meiosis resumption to occur. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Extracellular matrices (ECM) present around unfertilized and fertilized mammalian oocytes were studied ultrastructurally in samples prepared in the presence of ruthenium red to facilitate stabilization of extracellular materials. Unfertilized mouse, hamster, and human oocytes have an ECM comprising granules and filaments in their perivitelline spaces (PVS). This matrix is more abundant in the human than in hamsters and mice. The granule/filament matrix appears identical to the matrix seen between cumulus and corona radiata cells following ruthenium red processing and previously shown to comprise protein and hyaluronic acid. By including ruthenium red during fixation, it is possible to demonstrate the existence of cortical granule exudate in the PVS of fertilized oocytes from hamsters, mice, and humans. Much of the cortical granule exudate is trapped in the PVS and forms a new coat around the fertilized oocyte. This material is particulate when stained with ruthenium red and appears to be uniformly dispersed around the entire oocyte surface. We refer to this new coat as the cortical granule envelope. This envelope is observed in the PVS of all developmental stages up to and including blastocysts in all three species. Following hatching of mouse and hamster blastocysts, the cortical granule envelope is no longer present. Possible functions of this envelope are discussed. 相似文献

Embryo development during in vitro culture of polyspermic porcine oocytes was investigated in the present study. After in vitro fertilization (IVF) of in vitro matured oocytes, putative zygotes were centrifuged to visualize pronuclei. Two pronuclear (2PN) and poly-pronuclear (PPN) zygotes were selected and cultured in vitro. Their development to the blastocyst stage and total cell numbers, dead cell rates and ploidy at the blastocyst stage and morphology of resultant embryos after first cleavage were compared. A cleavage rate of PPN embryos was lower than that of 2PN (61.3% and 82.2%, respectively), however, the ability of cleaved embryos to develop to the blastocyst stage did not differ between the PPN and the 2PN groups (22.4% and 32.9%, respectively). Also there was no difference in total cell numbers and rates of dead cells between PPN and 2PN blastocysts. The majority of blastocysts in 2PN group were found to be diploid. In contrast, blastocysts in PPN group showed heterogeneous status in their ploidy including polyploidy and mixoploidy, whereas a remarkable proportion (31.3%) of them was found to be diploid. After the first cleavage (at 36 h after IVF), there was no difference in the number of nuclei/embryo between the two groups, nevertheless embryos in PPN group had significantly higher numbers of blastomeres than that of embryos in 2PN group, mainly due to an increased frequency of anuclear blastomeres. The present results indicate that correction of embryo ploidy in polyspermic embryos can occur during IVC. Nevertheless the frequency of partial fragmentation in polyspermic embryos is increased. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the effects of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on porcine cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) and subsequent blastocyst formation following in vitro fertilization are attributable to improved fertilization and cytoplasmic maturation. Porcine COCs were cultured for 42 h in TCM199 medium with 5 ng/mL human recombinant VEGF, and the resultant metaphase II oocytes were fertilized in vitro. COCs without VEGF supplementation served controls. Supplementation with VEGF during in vitro maturation (IVM) significantly (P < 0.05) improved the blastocyst formation rate and total cell number (46.7 ± 3.1% and 82.8 ± 6.7, respectively) compared with controls (32.5 ± 3.4% and 64.1 ± 5.6, respectively). On day 2, the percentage of four-cell stage embryos was significantly higher in the VEGF-matured group (49.1 ± 2.7%) than in the control (33.1 ± 5.8%), and the percentage of two-cell stage embryos was significantly higher in the control group (10.4 ± 1.4%) than in the VEGF-matured group (6.6 ± 0.9%). At 10 h after the onset of in vitro fertilization (IVF), oocytes with two pronuclei were considered as monospermically or normally fertilized, and oocytes with more than two pronuclei were considered as polyspermically fertilized. Monospermy was significantly higher in VEGF-matured oocytes (47.2 ± 4.3%) than in the control (20.0 ± 2.4%), and polyspermy and sperm penetration per oocyte were significantly higher in the control group (54.4 ± 3.8% and 2.3 ± 0.1, respectively) than in the VEGF-matured oocytes (43.9 ± 3.6% and 1.8 ± 0.1, respectively). Supplementation with VEGF during IVM significantly (P < 0.05) improved male pronuclear formation as compared with the control (91.1 ± 1.9 vs 74.4 ± 3.8%). Type III cortical granule distribution in oocytes was more common in VEGF-matured oocytes (78.0%) than in the control (52.1%). These results suggest that VEGF supplementation during IVM enhanced the developmental potential of porcine IVF embryos through higher male pronuclear formation and higher monospermic fertilization rates as a consequence of improved cytoplasmic maturation. 相似文献

It is known that oviductal cells play an important role in fertilization in vivo. We were interested in the effect of those cells on spermatozoa and their influence on the incidence of polyspermy in pig in vitro fertilization (IVF) when cocultured with spermatozoa. Oviductal cells are believed to select a highly fecund population of spermatozoa. By coculturing spermatozoa with oviductal cells it is possible to reduce the number of spermatozoa confronting the eggs at fertilization, reducing the incidence of polyspermy. In our study, spermatozoa were cocultured with oviductal cells for 30 min so that they could bind to the oviductal cells. Both bound and unbound spermatozoa were used for fertilization. The results show that the spermatozoa that were bound to the oviductal cells were capable of fertilizing the eggs, but the nonbound spermatozoa had a reduced penetration incidence. With the bound sperm, polyspermy incidence decreased and the two-pronuclei proportion increased. We also found that with time the spermatozoa released from the cells had better motility than those that did not bind. Therefore, it is our belief that oviductal cells can be used for porcine IVF resulting in a lower polyspermy incidence and higher pronuclei incidence. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

A total of 301 oocytes were recovered from crab-eating monkeys and subjected to insemination in vitro resulting in two fertilized
ova. Sixteen monkeys in 24 cycles received 37.5 IU of hMG daily from the second day of the menstrual cycle for 7 to 10 days.
Oocytes were recovered under laparotomy at 20 to 49 hr after administration of 1,000–1,500 IU of hCG. The maturation rate
of the recovered oocytes was 24.2% as judged from morphological criteria under the light microscope. With additional maturation
culture, the rate increased to 36.2%. The matured oocytes were inseminated at 3 to 4 hr after aspiration using homologous
spermatozoa which had been capacitated in vitro. Two oocytes were judged as being fertilized based on the presence of 3 and
5 pronuclei, respectively, when examined 12 hr after the insemination. This is the first report of in vitro fertilized ova
in nonhuman primates in Japan. 相似文献

The general method of porcine in vitro fertilization (IVF), involving the co-culture of both gametes in a medium drop, is thought to be the main reason for the high incidence of polyspermy. The aim of this study was to reduce the polyspermic fertilization of porcine embryos during IVF by the modified swim-up method, based on general sperm swim-up technique. Within this design, a 70 μm pore sized cell strainer was used to separate the sperm pellet placed at the bottom of a tube from the mature oocytes placed within the upper region. The separation of gametes using this permeable barrier was to ensure that only motile sperm gained access to the oocytes. It was found that the rate of polyspermy was significantly lowered for the sperm preparations from three boar breeds in modified swim-up method when compared with that of the general microdrop method (p < 0.05). However, the penetration rates were found to be similar in both methods for two boar breeds. The average occurrence of blastocysts with more total cell number was higher in the modified swim-up method, while no significant difference in blastocyst rates between the two IVF methods was observed. The frequency of normal diploid embryos was also significantly higher in the modified swim-up method and polyploidy was more frequently observed in microdrop method (p < 0.05). Our results demonstrated that the modified swim-up IVF method could reduce polyspermic penetration, and consequently produce better quality and karyotypically normal embryos in porcine IVF. 相似文献

Elevated levels of reactive oxygen species can cause oxidative stress, which could lead to membrane damage, decreased fertility, and spermatozoan morphological deformities. Antioxidants can be supplemented to reduce the impacts of oxidative stress. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of supplementing quercetin (0.25, 0.50, 0.75 mM) during the thawing and incubation of frozen-thawed boar semen on spermatozoan characteristics, IVF kinetics (n = 400) and subsequent embryonic development (n = 1340). Spermatozoa were evaluated for motility, viability, and membrane lipid peroxidation levels at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 h after thawing. Embryos were evaluated for IVF kinetics 12 h after IVF (penetration, polyspermy, male pronucleus formation, IVF efficiency) and cleavage and blastocyst formation at 48 h and 144 h after IVF, respectively. Spermatozoa supplemented with 0.25 mM quercetin had significantly higher (P < 0.05) motility (51.67±8.50 %) and percent of viable cells (61.21 ± 2.44 %) compared to all other treatments at 10 h after thawing, in addition to having significantly (P < 0.05) lower levels of hydroperoxide (3.38 ± 0.88 μM/107cells). There were no differences in penetration rates and male pronucleus formation between treatment groups. Supplementation of quercetin significantly decreased (P < 0.05) polyspermy and significantly increased (P < 0.05) the percentage of embryos reaching blastocyst stage of development by 144 h after IVF compared to no supplementation. Results indicated that supplementing frozen-thawed boar semen with 0.25 mM quercetin improves sperm characteristics up to 10 h after thawing and decreases polyspermy while improving early embryonic development in pigs. 相似文献
