Expression of Ghrelin and Its Receptor mRNA in Bovine Oocyte and Cumulus Cells
Energy balance is regulated by ghrelin that is a neuroendocrine modulator. Ghrelin is expressed in reproductive organs. However, the role of ghrelin during in vitro maturation and bovine preimplantational development is limited. The purpose of this study was to determine the expression of ghrelin (GHRL) and its receptor growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1A (GHS-R1A) mRNA expression, and cumu...
متن کاملInvolvement of the Serine Protease Inhibitor, SERPINE2, and the Urokinase Plasminogen Activator in Cumulus Expansion and Oocyte Maturation
The serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade E, member 2 (SERPINE2) inhibits urokinase-type plasminogen activator (PLAU) and tissue-type plasminogen activator. Higher SERPINE2 expression levels were detected in cumulus cells of human immature oocytes than in those of mature oocytes. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether high SERPINE2 levels in cumulus cells are associated with oocyte imm...
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 کاملExploring cumulus-oocyte-complex-oviductal cell interactions: gene profiling in the bovine oviduct.
Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) is present in the bovine oviduct and may play an important role in muscle contraction or as survival factor providing the optimal environment for fertilization and the early embryo. The aim of the present study was to investigate the estrous cycle-dependent changes and local distributions of PGE(2) receptors (EP) and members of the trefoil factor (TFF)-family in the ...
