细鳞鱼卵巢滤泡细胞的发育及功能

通过光镜和透射电镜对细鳞鱼（Brachymystax lenok）的卵巢滤泡细胞进行了研究。结果表明，滤泡细胞起源于非生殖细胞，并且其整个发育过程可分为4个时期：零散细胞期、单层扁平细胞期、多层扁平细胞期和颗粒细胞分泌期。滤泡细胞在初级卵母细胞早期并不具备任何功能，到卵母细胞卵黄积累初期，滤泡细胞上皮协同其合成部分卵膜；卵黄积累旺盛时期，滤泡细胞在此过程中起到信号介导、物质转运和储存的作用；在卵巢退化阶段，滤泡细胞与未发育的卵母细胞形成闭锁卵泡，对卵细胞残体和碎片还具有吞噬、消化等作用。

池养鲻的卵巢发育和卵子发生过程

通过卵巢切片的组织学分析揭示，幼鲻在土池养殖3个月后可见线状卵巢，大约5个月后卵原细胞进入第一次成熟分裂前期的双线期转变为早期初级卵母细胞。接着卵母细胞生发泡(核)和胞质体积增加，核质比从3．5：1减少至2：1。此后卵巢中卵母细胞停滞发育持续至养殖的第3年。在第3年卵巢切片看出卵母细胞进入脂肪泡时相，在第3年秋季进入卵黄发生时相。但在人工养殖条件下卵母细胞仅能发育到卵黄发生后期，即卵母细胞胞质充满卵黄颗粒，生发泡居中而不移位。这些结果对于用人工养殖鲻为亲鱼开展人工繁殖提供重要的科学依据。并讨论了卵子发生6个时相的生物学特点及其重要的细胞器在卵黄发生中可能的生理作用。     

中华绒螯蟹离体卵巢发育的调控作用

通过卵巢离体实验研究性激素、大豆黄酮、生物胺及神经组织对中华绒螯蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)卵巢发育的影响。结果表明，雌二醇可显著地增大卵黄发生前期、初级卵黄发生期和次级卵黄发生期卵巢卵母细胞的直径，黄体酮可显著增大卵黄发生前期卵巢卵母细胞直径，对初级卵黄发生期和次级卵黄发生期的卵母细胞直径有极显著地促进作用；大豆黄酮具有增大卵母细胞直径的作用，但作用不显著；脑和胸神经团对卵黄发生前期、初级卵黄发生期的卵母细胞直径有显著增大作用，对于次级卵黄发生期卵母细胞直径有极显著增大作用；视神经节作用不明显；5-羟色胺通过脑可显著促进卵黄发生前期、初级卵黄发生期卵巢卵母细胞直径的增大，极显著促进次级卵黄发生期卵巢卵母细胞直径的增大，还通过胸神经节极显著增大各期卵巢的卵母细胞直径；多巴胺作用不明显。     

秀丽白虾卵母细胞不同发育阶段线粒体的变化

采用透射电镜技术观察秀丽白虾(Exopalaemon modestus)卵巢不同发育阶段卵母细胞线粒体的变化及其与卵黄发生的关系，结果显示，随着卵母细胞的发育，线粒体经历了数目以及结构上的系列变化。卵黄发生早期，卵母细胞内的线粒体数量急剧增多，形态各异，有椭圆形、圆球形等，线粒体嵴稀少；随后，细胞质中出现较多近椭圆形的线粒体群，嵴丰富，外膜光滑。连续切片观察表明，该时期线粒体尚未明显参与卵黄颗粒的形成。卵黄发生中期，卵母细胞内的线粒体的结构出现两大类群：一类线粒体呈长杆状或椭圆形，体积小，嵴丰富，内部基质暗，外膜光滑，主要功能是为卵母细胞发育提供能量；另一类线粒体体积大，呈圆球型，嵴逐渐退化，内部基质呈现电子透明状，外膜出现大小不一的波浪状。后一类线粒体膜内陷，出现明显的类似细胞内吞作用，参与卵黄颗粒的形成。被吞饮物主要为有膜性泡，包括波浪状膜的高尔基体分泌泡、光滑外膜的内质网囊泡以及小型线粒体。与此同时，卵母细胞质膜形成众多胞饮小泡，外来物质逐渐进入卵母细胞，通过高尔基体的加工，以分泌泡相互融合形式参与卵黄颗粒的形成，内吞作用所累积的卵黄颗粒占主要部分，因此在该时期卵母细胞卵黄颗粒的形成以外源性为主。在卵子发育后期，皮层区域出现具典型结构的线粒体，当这些线粒体参与皮层颗粒形成后，卵子逐渐成熟，整个卵母细胞中很难见到线粒体。卵母细胞内卵黄颗粒进一步形成并相互融合，整个卵细胞几乎全为卵黄颗粒占据，未见明显线粒体。     

葛氏鲈塘艚卵子发生的组织学观察

采用组织切片技术系统观察和描述了葛氏鲈塘鱧（Perccottus glenii Dybowski）卵巢各时相卵母细胞的形态结构、特征及变化。卵巢切面显示：卵母细胞发育分为6个时相：第Ⅰ时相卵母细胞由处于原始分化阶段的卵原细胞构成;第Ⅱ时相卵母细胞进入滤泡细胞期,胞外形成滤泡细胞膜：第Ⅲ时相卵母细胞由质膜向核膜逐渐积累皮质液泡：第Ⅳ时相卵母细胞主要形成卵黄颗粒：第Ⅴ时相卵母细胞为成熟的卵子,胞内含有丰富的卵黄;第Ⅵ时相卵母细胞是未排出的处于退化吸收阶段的卵细胞,卵膜破裂,卵黄被吸收。根据卵巢切片及性腺系数变化推测葛氏鲈塘鱧属于一次产卵类型。     

日本囊对虾卵母细胞发育过程中组织蛋白酶C比活性测定

组织蛋白酶C是一种溶酶样半胱氨酸蛋白酶，近年我们报道了组织蛋白酶C的表达与日本囊对虾(Marsupenaeus japonicus) 卵母细胞最后成熟阶段密切相关，本研究对卵母细胞发育主要不同时相特别是卵母细胞最后生理成熟过程进行了连续观察，测定了组织蛋白酶C在卵母细胞发育过程中的比活性。结果表明，日本囊对虾卵母细胞发育可划分为9个时相，即卵原细胞时相、核仁时相、周边核仁时相、初级卵黄发生时相、次级卵黄发生时相、皮质棒早期时相、皮质棒中期时相、皮质棒晚期时相、排卵期时相，生发泡的破裂是在排卵之前就已经发生；免疫印迹实验结果显示组织蛋白酶C蛋白只在卵母细胞最后成熟阶段即皮质棒发生时期表达，但酶活性测定结果表明组织蛋白酶C比活力在即皮质棒发生前后没有变化，酶活性较低，以上数据提示组织蛋白酶C可能与受精时皮质棒的释放以及受精卵外胶膜的形成有关。

Oogenesis and lipids in gonad and liver of daubed shanny (Leptoclinus maculatus) females from Svalbard waters

Oocyte and liver histomorphology of the daubed shanny (Leptoclinus maculatus) from Isfjorden and Kongsfjorden in Svalbard were investigated during three Arctic seasons: summer (July), autumn (October) and winter (April). Three oocyte developmental phases were observed: primary growth phase, secondary growth phase and maturation phase. We observed four different developmental stages: (1) perinucleolus stage with cortical alveolus formation, (2) lipid droplets formation, (3) vitellogenesis stage and (4) maturation. Late maturation stage of oocytes in the ovaries was from the autumn season. Females accumulated lipids in liver (up to 35.2?% dw) and deposited large amounts of lipids into gonads (up to 52.2?% dw) during maturation. Lipid classes in female gonads changed seasonally, with relative increase in cholesterol during summer and depletion of storage lipids (triacylglycerols and wax esters/cholesterol esters) during the winter. Lipid composition in liver changed during oocyte development and spawning, as neutral lipids were transferred to developing oocytes during summer to autumn. During winter, storage lipids were depleted during starvation. Based on the increase in gonadosomatic index (GSI) with length and observed maturation stages, females seem to mature at a length of about 125-130?mm. The GSI and hepatosomatic index of large females sampled in autumn (September-October) were significantly higher than for females in late winter (April) and spring (May). These results indicate that spawning takes place during winter in Isfjorden and that energy reserves stored in the liver are utilized by females during gonadal development and reproduction.     

Diurnal rhythm of serum steroid hormone levels in the Japanese whiting,Sillago japonica,a daily-spawning teleost

Ovarian developmental stages and serum steroid hormone levels were examined at six different times of day (0100, 0600, 1000, 1300, 1600, 2000 h) in a marine teleost, the Japanese whiting Sillago japonica, which has an asynchronous-type ovary containing oocytes at various stages of development and spawns every day during a period ranging up to three months. The largest oocytes in the ovaries at the active vitellogenic or post-vitellogenic stages were found between 0100 and 1300 h. Oocyte maturation indicated by germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) occurred at 1600 h, and ovulated oocytes were observed in the ovaries collected at 2000 h. These processes were accompanied by a significant daily change in serum steroid hormone levels. The serum level of estradiol-17β showed a peak in fish with mature oocytes sampled at 1600 h. In these fish, the second-largest oocytes in the ovaries were at the initial stage of vigorous vitellogenesis, the secondary yolk stage. Therefore the highest level of serum estradiol-17β was considered to be due to the second-largest oocytes. Testosterone levels remained low and constant throughout the experimental period. The serum levels of 17α,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (17α,20β-diOHprog) peaked at 1600 h at which time all fish had mature oocytes. These results indicate that the Japanese whiting possesses a diurnal rhythm of oocyte development including vitellogenesis, oocyte maturation and ovulation, and further suggest that daily cycles in oocyte growth and maturation which simultaneously take place in an ovary are regulated by diurnal secretions of estradiol-17β and the maturation-inducing steroid, 17α,20β-diOHprog.

Histological evidence of lunar-synchronized ovarian development and spawning in the spiny rabbitfish Siganus spinus (Linnaeus) around the Ryukyus

ABSTRACT: This study clarifies the annual reproductive cycle and the lunar-synchronized spawning of the spiny rabbitfish ( Siganus spinus ) that inhabit the Okinawan waters. Annual and weekly changes in the gonadosomatic index (GSI) and the histological features of the ovaries were checked. Gonadosomatic index was high during the months of May to July, and yolk-laden oocytes were observed in the ovaries from March to July. Some of the ovaries collected during June and July contained oocytes at maturation stage or ovulatory follicles. These results suggest that the spiny rabbitfish undergo active vitellogenesis and spawning from May to July. During the reproductive season (May to July), collection of fish according to the lunar phase revealed that a high GSI occurred around the time of the new moon. Cyclic oocyte development with peaks around the time of the same moon phase was also observed, suggesting that, in Okinawan waters, this species is a lunar-synchronized spawner and spawns three times.     

The timing of puberty in cultured female yellowtail flounder, Limanda ferruginea (Storer): Oogenesis and sex steroid production in vivo and in vitro

This study examines puberty in female yellowtail flounder, correlating macroscopic, histological and endocrine parameters at the gonadal level. Short-term ovarian tissue incubations were used to study estradiol-17β production in relation to oogenic stage. Examining 2 year classes of young flounder demonstrated that cultured females retain phenotypic plasticity in reproductive age with pubertal onset occurring in one-year, two-year and three-year-olds. Immature ovaries were steroidogenic and capable of responding to gonadotropic stimulation. Endocrine puberty in females was detected by a peak in estradiol-17β production during the cortical alveolar oocyte stage prior to any ovarian evidence of vitellogenesis. Puberty, once initiated, proceeded to ovulation within 8 to 12 months; vitellogenic oocyte development followed the group synchronous pattern. Estradiol-17β was clearly the dominant of the two measured plasma hormones during pubertal onset and throughout vitellogenesis. Plasma testosterone was consistently detectable at low levels by mid-to late-vitellogenesis. Ovaries showed the highest sensitivity to gonadotropic stimulation in vitro during late-vitellogenesis. Variable plasma levels in both estradiol-17β and testosterone occurred in preovulatory and ovulating females during the captive spawning period. Together the results show that yellowtail flounder can mature at a young age and small size when culture conditions permit. In addition, the early sensitivity to gonadotropin by the immature ovaries may be an important physiological determinant for the timing of puberty in this species.
