Abstract:The developmental competence (quality) of oocytes is affected by several factors linked to their intrinsic properties and also to growth and maturation environment. Donor puberty and chromosomal complement are one of the main factors influencing oocyte quality. A high rate of porcine oocytes matured in vitro is chromosomally imbalanced. Moreover, there is no published data on chromosomal aberrations in oocytes selected by the brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) test. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze whether BCB positive (BCB+) oocytes derived from ovaries of peripubertal gilts (prepubertal NCL and cyclic CL) differ with respect to the incidence of numerical chromosome aberrations. COCs collected from NCL and CL ovaries were selected by the BCB test. Only BCB+ oocytes were matured in vitro and subjected to FISH analysis using molecular probes for chromosome pairs 1 and 10. The rate of BCB+ oocytes was similar for both groups of ovaries (NCL 80%, CL 92%). Altogether 554 oocytes were fixed and 471 oocytes at the MII stage were analyzed cytogenetically. Diploid (2MII) and aneuploid oocytes were detected. The contribution of MII oocytes was similar for NCL (85%) and CL (90%) group. Chromosomally aberrant BCB+ oocytes accounted for 18.0% and ranged from 13.7% for CL and 22.2% for NCL ovaries. Diploidy was a predominant anomaly observed (11.2%) with a significantly higher frequency in BCB+ oocytes of pre-pubertal (16.7%) than cyclic gilts (5.6%, P < 0.05). Aneuploid oocytes occurred with similar rate in NCL (6.7%) and CL (8.5%) females. The majority of aneuploid spreads (72.2%; P < 0.01) concerned the chromosome pair 10. The overall rate of disomy (56%) and nullisomy (44.4%) was similar. We have shown that donor puberty affects the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in porcine oocytes matured in vitro. Significantly more diploid oocytes was derived from prepubertal ovaries, whereas the frequency of aneuploidy was similar in NCL and CL gilts.
