preimplantation mouse embryo
The role of membrane sterols in the compaction and subsequent development of the preimplantation mouse embryo was studied by incubating embryos in 7-ketocholesterol and other oxygenated sterols. These sterols have been shown to inhibit sterol synthesis and deplete membranes of cholesterol in a variety of other cell types. Compaction and subsequent blastocyst formation were normal when embryos w...
متن کاملThe relationship of gap junctions and compaction in the preimplantation mouse embryo.
In the mouse embryo, gap junctions first appear at the 8-cell stage as compaction is about to take place. Compaction of the embryo is important for the differentiation of the first two cell types; the inner cell mass and the trophectoderm. Our studies examine the contribution of gap junctional communication at this stage of development. We have characterised the normal sequence of appearance of...
متن کاملMicrotubules influence compaction in preimplantation mouse embryos.
The role of microtubules during compaction of the 8-cell-stage mouse embryo was investigated using the drugs Taxol (which leads to a non-controlled polymerization of tubulin) and Nocodazole (which causes depolymerization of microtubules). Taxol inhibits compaction in most non-compacted embryos and reverses it in already compacted embryos. These effects were observed on both cell flattening (as ...
متن کاملDNA synthesis in the preimplantation mouse embryo.
Strain PO preimplantation embryos were labelled with [H]thymidine. The incorporation of the label was studied by autoradiography of air-dried and serially sectioned embryos. DNA amounts were measured with a microdensitometer. The following observations were made at the 5to 16-cell stages. All nuclei contained 2C-4C amounts of DNA and all could eventually synthesize DNA. However, after short lab...
متن کاملLineage specification in the mouse preimplantation embryo.
During mouse preimplantation embryo development, totipotent blastomeres generate the first three cell lineages of the embryo: trophectoderm, epiblast and primitive endoderm. In recent years, studies have shown that this process appears to be regulated by differences in cell-cell interactions, gene expression and the microenvironment of individual cells, rather than the active partitioning of ma...
