Detrimental effects of two active X chromosomes on early mouse development.

چکیده
Matings between female mice carrying Searle's translocation, T(X;16)16H, and normal males give rise to chromosomally unbalanced zygotes with two complete sets of autosomes, one normal X chromosome and one X16 translocation chromosome (XnX16 embryos). Since X chromosome inactivation does not occur in these embryos, probably due to the lack of the inactivation center on X16, XnX16 embryos are functionally disomic for the proximal 63% of the X chromosome and trisomic for the distal segment of chromosome 16. Developmental abnormalities found in XnX16 embryos include: (1) growth retardation detected as early as stage 9, (2) continual loss of embryonic ectoderm cells either by death or by expulsion into the proamniotic cavity, (3) underdevelopment of the ectoplacental cone throughout the course of development, (4) very limited, if any, mesoderm formation, (5) failure in early organogenesis including the embryo, amnion, chorion and yolk sac. Death occurred at 10 days p.c. Since the combination of XO and trisomy 16 does not severely affect early mouse development, it is likely that regulatory mechanisms essential for early embryogenesis do not function correctly in XnX16 embryos due to activity of the extra X chromosome segment of X16.

Tetraploid embryos rescue embryonic lethality caused by an additional maternally inherited X chromosome in the mouse.
Mouse embryos with an additional maternally inherited X chromosome, i.e., disomic for XM (DsXM), cease to grow early in development and have a deficient extraembryonic region. We hypothesized that the underdeveloped extraembryonic region is attributed to two copies of XM that escape inactivation due to maternal imprinting. To examine the validity of this hypothesis and throw more light on the s...

This study was designed to examine the effects of retinoic acid adding to cumulus and/or fibroblast cellsmonolayer on the development of mouse early embryos. One-cell mouse embryos were obtained from NMRImice after superovulation by an intraperitoneal injection of 5 IU equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG)followed 48 hrs later by 5 IU human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). Mouse embryonic fibrobla...

Background: In recent years, a combination of hormones and agents in assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles as a means of stimulating the ovary and developing more follicles. With respect to the positive effects of Estradiol Valerate on reproductive tissues and the impact on native genes of the egg that transferred to the embryo after fertilization, it seems that this agent can also effe...

Background: Arresting in a certain step of development like two-cell stage could be one of the reasons of infertility. The aim of this study is evaluating the effects of ethanol and strontium on growth and development of two-cell arrested mouse embryos. Materials and Methods: The females were coupled with male following superovulation. Positive vaginal plug mice were killed 48 hours after hCG i...
