卵泡表面直径判断山羊卵母细胞的发育能力

试验探讨了山羊卵泡表面直径与实际直径的相关性及卵泡直径与卵母细胞直径和卵母细胞发育能力的关系。结果显示:(1)山羊卵巢表面直径1.5～2.5mm以上卵泡,其表面直径和实测直径相关性显著(r=0.72),可以利用表面直径对这群卵泡进行分类;(2)表面直径1.5～2.5mm以上卵泡,其卵母细胞已经达到最大直径(约130μm),透明带体积也达到最大(约7×105μm3);在此之前的有腔卵泡,卵母细胞直径和透明带体积均随着卵泡直径增加而增加;(3)不同直径卵泡其卵母细胞减数分裂能力不同:≤0.5mm直径卵泡卵母细胞未获得恢复减数分裂的能力;0.8～1.2mm直径卵泡卵母细胞可恢复减数分裂,但只能发育到M 期;1.5～2.5mm和3.0～5.0mm直径卵泡卵母细胞可恢复减数分裂并发育到M 期,24h时M 期比率分别为93%和91%。     

甘氨酸对水貂GV期卵母细胞冷冻保存效率的影响

试验旨在探究玻璃化冷冻及培养过程中添加甘氨酸(glycine,Gly)对水貂GV期卵母细胞冷冻解冻后存活率、核发育、线粒体和皮质颗粒分布的影响。试验分为3组:对照组(没有进行冷冻处理)、冷冻组和Gly添加处理组(1 mmol/L Gly)。对玻璃化冷冻解冻后的水貂GV期卵母细胞分别进行平衡恢复3 h和体外成熟培养,采用免疫荧光标记法检测各组GV期卵母细胞线粒体分布的差异及MⅡ期皮质颗粒分布的变化。结果显示,Gly添加处理组卵母细胞在解冻后3 h的存活率与冷冻组相比差异不显著(P0.05),但显著低于对照组(P0.05);Gly添加处理组卵母细胞的减数分裂恢复率显著高于冷冻组(P0.05),但与对照组相比差异不显著(P0.05)。免疫荧光结果显示,Gly添加处理组的GV期卵母细胞线粒体正常分布率显著高于冷冻组(P0.05),但Gly添加处理组和冷冻组的GV期卵母细胞线粒体正常分布率均显著低于对照组(P0.05)。皮质颗粒分布结果显示,水貂GV期卵母细胞在冷冻后体外成熟培养至MⅡ期时,Gly添加处理组皮质颗粒的正常皮质区分布比例显著高于冷冻组(P0.05),但Gly添加处理组与冷冻组的正常皮质区分布比例均显著低于对照组(P0.05)。结果表明,添加Gly可以提高冻融后水貂卵母细胞的减数分裂恢复率,降低冷冻对其线粒体及皮质颗粒的损失。

猪卵母细胞在GV期与MⅡ期的冷冻保存效果比较研究

为比较猪卵母细胞在GV期与MⅡ期的冷冻保存效果,试验在这两个成熟阶段对其进行玻璃化冷冻,GV期卵母细胞解冻后培养至成熟,MⅡ期卵母细胞解冻后恢复2 h,然后采用免疫荧光标记、Western blotting和链霉蛋白酶溶解方法分别检测它们的皮质颗粒分布、CD9蛋白表达水平和透明带消化时间上的差异。结果表明,GV期卵母细胞在解冻后2 h的存活率显著低于MⅡ期卵母细胞（P<0.05）,但极体排出率与对照卵母细胞无明显差异（P>0.05）;在冷冻MⅡ期卵母细胞中,皮质颗粒的皮质区分布比例和CD9的蛋白表达水平显著下降（P<0.05）,但冷冻GV期卵母细胞经体外成熟后则无明显变化（P>0.05）;冷冻GV期与MⅡ期卵母细胞均不会影响透明带的消化时间（P>0.05）。由此可见,猪卵母细胞在GV期的冷冻存活率虽然较MⅡ期低,但其体外成熟后极体排出率、皮质颗粒分布和CD9蛋白表达水平均未受到冷冻的影响。     

玻璃化冷冻对猪卵母细胞超微结构的影响

本研究以GV期和MII期卵母细胞作为试验材料,通过透射电镜方法观察卵母细胞冷冻前后的超微结构变化,结果发现,透射电镜下观察卵母细胞发现,GV期卵母细胞与透明带连接紧密,微绒毛伸入透明带中,皮质区分布大量的线粒体。脂滴分为两种,一种为灰色脂滴,一种为深色脂滴。MII期卵母细胞排出第一极体,质膜下分布大量的皮质颗粒。微绒毛缩短成矮柱状,线粒体常聚集存在,卵周隙出现。冻后GV期卵母细胞微绒毛消失,线粒体肿胀,线粒体内有囊泡样结构,包围脂滴的内质网不完整,胞质内溶解为絮状,未见高尔基体。冻后MII期卵母细胞透明带损伤、微绒毛、细胞膜损伤甚至消失、极少量皮质颗粒分布于皮质区。脂滴部分溶解,相互连接,脂滴周围伴随大量肿胀呈圆形的线粒体,嵴不明显,内呈囊泡样,未见到高尔基复合体结构。     

卵泡直径对辽宁绒山羊卵母细胞体外培养的影响

本试验以屠宰场绒山羊卵巢为材料,采用抽吸法收集不同直径卵泡卵母细胞,研究卵泡直径对卵母细胞回收效果和体外成熟、体外受精的影响。结果表明,卵泡直径直接影响卵母细胞的回收效果及随后的体外成熟、体外受精;卵母细胞的回收率和可用卵的比率及成熟率与卵泡直径呈正相关;直径2.1～5 mm卵泡的卵母细胞由于处于生长旺盛期,受精率和卵裂率分别为59.15%和42.50%,显著高于直径5 mm卵泡和≤2 mm卵泡,适合体外胚胎的生产,而直径≤2 mm卵泡的卵母细胞因未发育充分体外发育潜能最差;直径5 mm卵泡的卵母细胞可能因体外培养成熟过度而老化导致受精率和卵裂率降低,缩短其体外成熟时间可能会提高其体外发育潜能。     

绵羊卵母细胞体外成熟过程中的线粒体分布变化

为了检测绵羊卵母细体外成熟前后的线粒体分布变化,将成熟过程不同阶段的卵母细胞用活体细胞线粒体跟踪试剂盒(GENMED kit)对线粒体进行染色,之后用碘化丙啶(Propidium Iodide,PI)对细胞核进行染色,最后用激光共聚焦显微镜观察线粒体分布情况以及相应的细胞核所处的发育时期.结果:生发泡期(Germinal Vesicle,GV)的卵母细胞线粒体呈周边分布;生发泡破裂期(Germinal Vesicle Breakdown,GVBD)、第一次减数分裂中期(Metaphase Ⅰ,MⅠ中期)的卵母细胞呈半周边分布;第一次减数分裂末期(M Ⅰ Anaphase,MⅠ后期)的卵母细胞线粒体基本呈均匀分布,但是线粒体簇较小,着色较浅;第二次减数分裂中期(Metaphase Ⅱ,MⅡ期)的卵母细胞线粒体呈均匀分布,而且细胞质中央的线粒体簇变大,着色变深.结论:线粒体分布随着绵羊卵母细胞体外成熟阶段的进展,由细胞周边向均匀、由疏松向致密呈波动变化,这种变化有可能作为一种判定绵羊卵母细胞胞质成熟的有效参考指标.     

体外培养牛腔前卵泡卵母细胞的超微结构

直径约100μm牛腔前卵泡在无血清下体外培养15d。超微结构研究显示，培养前腔前卵泡卵母细胞微绒毛短小，分布均匀。胞质内细胞器致密而均匀，线粒体多为长或圆形，嵴较少，高尔基体、脂滴稀少，未见有皮质颗粒出现。培养6d时，微绒毛略变粗长，但数量减少。胞质内细胞器，由近核分布向胞质中央区转移，线粒体形态丰富，基质电子密度极高。培养15d腔前卵泡卵母细胞微绒毛增多，变长，斜向或垂直插入已经形成的透明带中。线粒体增多，大小不等，形态各异，胞质中区有溶酶体样物质及零星的皮质颗粒出现。电镜研究表明，体外培养与体内正常发育腔前卵泡卵母细胞超微结构变化规律基本相似。     

水牛胎儿卵泡细胞和卵母细胞凋亡的特征

选择5月龄胎儿水牛的卵巢，采用石蜡切片、HE染色的光镜观察和DNA末端原位标记技术（TUNEL）进行了研究。结果表明：5月龄胎儿卵巢上分布着大量的凋亡细胞；在皮质部存在的大量腔前卵泡中，均匀分布有单个凋亡的卵泡细胞和卵母细胞，凋亡细胞的主要组织学变化是细胞缩小，核浓缩；DNA末端标记变化主要显示出TUNEL阳性。上述结果提示：水牛卵泡细胞和卵母细胞凋亡在胎儿时期已经存在，细胞凋亡是启动水牛腔前卵泡闭锁的潜在机理。     

G蛋白偶联受体50在牦牛卵母细胞体外成熟过程中的表达与亚细胞定位研究

试验旨在研究G蛋白偶联受体50（G protein-coupled receptor 50,GPR50）在牦牛卵母细胞体外成熟过程中的表达与定位规律,为进一步解析卵母细胞成熟的分子机制及理解牦牛繁殖的特异性提供依据。通过牦牛卵母细胞体外成熟培养,利用免疫荧光染色监测不同时间点（0~24 h）纺锤丝形态和核相的变化,确定牦牛卵母细胞减数分裂4个时期,包括生发泡期（germinal vesicle,GV）、生发泡破裂期（germinal vesicle break down,GVBD）、第一次减数分裂中期（metaphase Ⅰ,MⅠ）与第二次减数分裂中期（metaphase Ⅱ,MⅡ）的时间点。在此基础上,通过实时荧光定量PCR检测GPR50基因在牦牛卵母细胞成熟过程中的动态表达量,免疫荧光染色检测GPR50蛋白在卵母细胞成熟过程中的的亚细胞动态定位情况。结果表明,牦牛卵母细胞体外成熟0 h时90%处于GV期,6 h时94%处于GVBD期,16 h时92%细胞处于MⅠ期,24 h时94%处于MⅡ期。实时荧光定量PCR结果表明,GPR50基因在牦牛卵母细胞GV期即有表达,并在GVBD、MⅠ、MⅡ期成熟过程中逐渐升高,在MⅡ期达到顶峰,且极显著高于GV与GVBD期（P<0.01）。GPR50蛋白在牦牛卵母细胞GV期时集中在膜上表达,并随着成熟进程的发展在细胞质和细胞膜均大量表达,在MⅡ期高亮度弥散表达。以上结果表明,GPR50基因参与牦牛卵母细胞减数分裂过程并发挥重要作用,为研究GPR50在牦牛卵母细胞成熟过程中的作用及机制提供了依据。

Effects of reaggregated granulosa cells and oocytes derived from early antral follicles on the properties of oocytes grown in vitro

In this study, we examined the effects of reconstructed oocyte–granulosa cell complexes (OGCs) on the development of porcine oocytes derived from early antral follicles (EAFs; 0.5–0.7 mm in diameter). When denuded oocytes were cocultured with granulosa cells derived from other EAFs, the oocytes and granulosa cells aggregated to form OGCs after 2 days of culture. After 14 days of culture, we compared cell number, oocyte diameter, and oocyte chromatin configuration in unmanipulated (natural) OGCs, reconstructed OGCs, and OGCs collected from antral follicles (AFs, 3.0–6.0 mm in diameter). The diameters of oocytes from reconstructed OGCs grown in vitro were not different from those of oocytes from natural OGCs, although they were significantly smaller than those of oocytes from antral follicle (AF) OGCs. Oocyte chromatin configuration did not differ among the 3 OGC groups, but the oocyte nuclear maturation rate was lower in the reconstructed OGCs and higher in the AF OGCs. However, when the in vitro culture period for the reconstructed OGCs was extended by 2 days, the nuclear maturation rate of oocytes from reconstructed OGCs was similar to that of oocytes from natural OGCs. In addition, blastocysts were successfully obtained from oocytes from reconstructed OGCs. In conclusion, we established an innovative culture method that allows oocytes and granulosa cells from EAFs to reaggregate as reconstructed OGCs, which yield oocytes with the ability to develop to the blastocyst stage.     

Effect of vitrification of feline ovarian cortex on follicular and oocyte quality and competence

Cryopreservation of ovarian cortex has important implications in the preservation of fertility and biodiversity in animal species. Slow freezing of cat ovarian tissue resulted in the preservation of follicular morphology and in the follicular development after xenografting. Vitrification has been recently applied to ovarian tissues of different species, but no information is available on the effect of this method on feline ovarian cortex. Moreover, meiotic competence of fully grown oocytes isolated from cryopreserved tissue has not been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitrification of feline ovarian cortex on follicular morphology and oocyte integrity, as well as meiotic competence. A total of 352 fragments (1.5-2 mm(3) ) were obtained from ovarian cortical tissues: 176 were vitrified and 176 were used fresh as control. Histological evaluation of fresh and vitrified fragments showed intact follicles after cryopreservation procedures with no statistically significant destructive effect from primordial to antral follicles. After IVM, oocytes collected from vitrified ovarian fragment showed a higher proportion of gametes arrested at germinal vesicle (GV) stage compared to those isolated from fresh control tissue (33.8% vs 2.9%; p < 0.001). However, oocytes isolated from vitrified tissues were able to resume meiosis, albeit at lower rate than those collected from fresh tissues (39.8% vs 85.9%; p < 0.00001). Vitrification induced changes in the organization of cytoskeletal elements (actin microfilaments and microtubules) of oocytes, but significantly only for actin network (p < 0.001). Finally, chromatin configuration within the GV was not affected by the cryopreservation procedure. Our study demonstrated that vitrification preserves the integrity of ovarian follicles and that oocytes retrieved from cryopreserved tissue maintain the capability of resuming meiosis. To our knowledge, this has not previously been reported in the cat.     

AREG对绵羊小腔卵泡卵母细胞体外成熟的影响

旨在研究双调蛋白（AREG）对绵羊小腔卵泡卵母细胞体外成熟（IVM）的影响。本研究从屠宰场绵羊卵巢上采集小腔和中腔卵泡的卵母细胞进行试验，利用自发荧光检测卵母细胞的NAD （P） H和FAD⁺⁺水平，利用JC-1检测卵母细胞的线粒体膜电位；两种来源的卵母细胞经体外成熟后，比较其卵丘扩展指数（CEI）、第一极体排出率（MII%）；比较AREG、AREG+GDF9、AREG+BMP15、AREG+GDF9+BMP15、GDF9+BMP15对小腔卵泡卵母细胞体外成熟后的CEI、MII%及卵母细胞线粒体膜电位的影响；检测了AREG+GDF9+BMP15对小腔卵泡卵母细胞体外成熟后的NAD （P） H和FAD⁺⁺水平及其受精后发育能力的影响。结果表明，成熟前，小腔卵泡卵母细胞的线粒体膜电位和FAD⁺⁺水平均显著低于中腔卵泡卵母细胞（P<0.05）；体外成熟培养后，小腔卵泡卵母细胞的CEI和MII%均显著低于中腔卵泡卵母细胞（P<0.05）。与对照组相比，AREG+GDF9+BMP15显著提高了小腔卵泡卵母细胞体外成熟后的CEI、MII%和线粒体膜电位（P<0.05），且与中腔卵泡卵母细胞组差异不显著（P>0.05）；另外，AREG+GDF9+BMP15显著提高了小腔卵泡卵母细胞体外成熟后的NAD （P） H和FAD⁺⁺水平（P<0.05），且与中腔卵泡卵母细胞组差异不显著（P>0.05）。与对照组相比，在成熟液中添加AREG+GDF9+BMP15可以明显提高小腔卵泡卵母细胞体外受精后的卵裂率和囊胚率（分别为（43.79±3.69）%、（28.54±4.31）%和（78.99±1.12）%、（47.46±2.50）%，P<0.05），而且与中腔卵泡卵母细胞组无显著差异（P>0.05）。综上表明，绵羊小腔卵泡卵母细胞的代谢水平及IVM质量较低， AREG在GDF9和BMP15的协同作用下可以显著提高小腔卵泡卵母细胞的代谢水平及IVM质量，并进一步提高小腔卵泡卵母细胞体外受精后的发育能力。

The endothelial nitric oxide synthase/nitric oxide system is involved in the defective quality of bovine oocytes from low mid-antral follicle count ovaries

In a previous survey concerning cows of reproductive age, we demonstrated that oocytes isolated from ovaries with <10 medium antral follicles of 2 to 6 mm in diameter (low ovaries; Lo) show less developmental competence than oocytes collected from ovaries with >10 medium antral follicles (high ovaries; Hi). The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether a defective endothelial nitric oxide synthase/nitric oxide (eNOS/NO) system and vasculature in healthy medium antral follicles is likely to reduce oocyte competence from Lo ovaries. Thus, experiments were conducted to 1) immunolocalize eNOS protein during folliculogenesis; 2) quantify eNOS protein/vasculature in the follicle wall; and 3) verify if NO donor, S-nitroso acetyl penicillamine (SNAP) administration during in vitro maturation affects developmental competence of oocytes isolated from Lo ovaries. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase protein was detected in granulosa and theca cells, as well as in blood vessels from primordial to antral follicles. Quantitative analysis indicated that in medium antral follicles from Lo ovaries, eNOS protein expression and vasculature were reduced (P < 0.05). The addition of SNAP improved blastocyst and hatching rates of oocytes from Lo ovaries, promoting a percentage similar to oocytes from Hi ovaries, and reduced the percentage of apoptotic nuclei in in vitro-produced blastocysts (P < 0.05). Results from our study suggest that in bovine ovaries with small mid antral follicle number, a defective eNOS/NO system is related to a reduced follicle vasculature and may affect oocyte quality, thus inducing a premature decline of fertility.     

The influence of follicular factors on the in vitro maturation of bovine oocytes]

Immature oocytes from antral follicles of cattle were tested for the effect of follicular factors on maturation. In vitro maturation was accomplished by use of follicular fluid from small (2--5 mm) and large (above 15 mm) follicles and by addition to the medium of a granulose factor (GF) which had been isolated from the surface of granulosa cells. The parent material, with 84% (72/86) of oocytes at the germinal vesicle stage (GV-S) at the beginning of culturing, could be rated immature. 46% of all oocytes (41/89) had reached telophase I or metaphase II (full maturation) after 24 hours of maturation in hormone-free control medium (TCM 199 + 10% of foetal calf serum). 36% of oocytes (53/84), on the other hand, stayed between GV breakdown (GVBD) and anaphase I (incipient maturation). Full maturation was reached by as little as 14%. GF and follicular fluid from small antral follicles were found to inhibit GVBD in the oocytes. 59% (36/61) or 48% (61/127) of oocytes were blocked at GV stage. Positive determination of maturation inhibiting action of the above follicular components may provide a chance for their target-oriented use in control of the maturation process. The pool of immature oocytes of the ovaries, under such circumstances, might be more systematically utilised for in vitro manipulations.
