Oocyte-dependent activation of MTOR in cumulus cells controls the development and survival of cumulus-oocyte complexes.
Communication between oocytes and their companion somatic cells promotes the healthy development of ovarian follicles, which is crucial for producing oocytes that can be fertilized and are competent to support embryogenesis. However, how oocyte-derived signaling regulates these essential processes remains largely undefined. Here, we demonstrate that oocyte-derived paracrine factors, particularl...
متن کاملP-110: Effect of Increasing Amount of Oocyte Secreted Factors on Cumulus Expansion of Bovine Cumulus-Oocyte Complexes
Background: In vitro maturation is a good method to decrease cancer risk of superovulation by gonadotropin hormones. A paracrine effect of oocyte secretions on oocyte developmental competence is under investigation. Apart from oocyte maturation, ovulation in vivo requires a precise control of extracellular matrix modification. Cumulus cells secrete hyaluronan to form a muco-elastic extracellula...
متن کاملEffect of Different Harvesting Techniques on the Recovery and Quality of Bovine Cumulus Oocyte Complexes
This study investigated the effect of different harvesting techniques on the recovery rate and quality of bovine cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) and their subsequent developmental competence including in vitro maturation, fertilization and blastocyst formation. The COCs were retrieved from slaughter ovaries using aspiration, slicing, or aspiration followed by slicing. The COCs were examined mic...
متن کاملCumulus Cells Block Oocyte Meiotic Resumption via Gap Junctions in Cumulus Oocyte Complexes Subjected to DNA Double-Strand Breaks
During mammalian oocyte growth, genomic DNA may accumulate DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) induced by factors such as reactive oxygen species. Recent evidence demonstrated that slight DSBs do not activate DNA damage checkpoint proteins in denuded oocytes. These oocytes, even with DNA DSBs, can resume meiosis and progress to metaphase of meiosis II. Meiotic resumption in oocytes is also controll...
متن کاملSurvival of Vitrified Water Buffalo Cumulus Oocyte Complexes and Their Subsequent Development in Vitro
The study aimed to determine the effects of different concentrations of glycerol and ethylene glycol and ultrarapid cryopreservation (vitrification) on survival and subsequent in vitro development of bubaline cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) in order to recognize the optimum cryoprotectant. Survival and in vitro maturation, fertilization and cleavage of buffalo COCs was evaluated subsequent to t...
