چکیده

Early preimplantation bovine embryos at 8- or 16-cell stage were analysed by [5-3H]uridine autoradiography for distribution of newly synthesized RNA after 60Co irradiation with a single dose of 1 Gy, 2 Gy or 4 Gy gamma rays, respectively. Embryos irradiated with a single dose of 1 Gy showed equally decreased synthesis of RNA in nucleoplasma as well as in nucleolus. In embryos irradiated with a single dose of 2 Gy or 4 Gy, RNA synthesis was decreased and localized mostly on the periphery of the nucleus; in both cases of irradiation, the nucleus center being without labelling. In most of embryos irradiated with a dose of 4 Gy, the nucleoli were not labelled, and an increasing occurrence appeared of various nucleus chromatin segregation forms, mainly as its marginalization.

O-8: Critical Role of Hyaluronan System in Pre-Implantation Embryo Development and Establishment of Pregnancy

Background: Hyaluronan (HA) is a structural component of extracellular matrix synthesised by HA synthases HAS1-3, which produce HA of different molecular sizes with distinct biological functions associated with reproductive processes. Hyaluronidase (HYAL) cleaves the HA into biologically active small fragments which are known to regulate cell proliferation through CD44 receptor signaling. HA is...

Onset of RNA synthesis and poly (A) content of early rabbit embryos. Comparison with sheep.

RNA synthesis in 2-32 cell embryos, as assessed by alpha-amanitin-sensitive 3H-uridine incorporation, was first detectable in 4-cell stage rabbit and 8-cell stage sheep embryos. In the rabbit, uridine incorporation was detectable at the 2-cell stage but was unaltered by alpha-amanitin, indicating synthesis of non-polymerase II-dependent RNA species. Initiation of mRNA synthesis as determined by...

P-32: Effect of Culture Condition and Cell-Permeable Superoxide Dismutase on Reactive Oxygen Species of In vitro Sheep Embryos

Background: This study was carried out to evaluate the pattern of reactive oxygen species (ROS) variations during in vitro oocyte maturation and embryo development in sheep, and to investigate whether embryo culture condition and the presence of cell-permeable superoxide dismutase mimetic [Manganese (III) meso-tetrakis (4-benzoic acid) porphyrin (MnTBAP)] can influence ROS pattern. Materials an...

Sex-chromosome linked gene expression in in-vitro produced bovine embryos.

The expression of XIST, G6PD, HPRT, ZFX and ZFY were investigated in in-vitro produced bovine embryos. Transcripts of these genes were assayed by RT-PCR in pools of pre-compaction stage embryos and sexed pools of morulae and blastocysts. The expression of XIST, G6PD, HPRT and ZFX in female and male morulae and blastocysts were compared using a semi-quantitative RT-PCR. G6PD, HPRT and ZFX transc...

Effects of downregulating GLIS1 transcript on preimplantation development and gene expression of bovine embryos

Krüppel-like protein Gli-similar 1 (GLIS1) is known as a direct reprogramming factor for the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of GLIS1 in the preimplantation development of bovine embryos. GLIS1 transcripts in in vitro-matured oocytes and 1-cell to 4-cell stage embryos were detected, but they were either absent or at trace lev...
