Purines inhibit the development of mouse embryos in vitro.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first cleavage of embryos derived from random-bred, inbred, and hybrid-inbred female mice was not arrested by purines at concentrations as high as 30 microM. Development after the first or second cleavage was arrested by hypoxanthine, adenosine or inosine, but not guanosine. In agreement with previous results, the purine-induced block was reversed when arrested embryos were transferred to purine-free media after 24 h in culture. The cleavage arrest was not due to elevations of cAMP as a result of inhibition of phosphodiesterase activity since similar concentrations of phosphodiesterase inhibitors or dibutyryl cAMP did not block development. Treatment with inhibitors of enzymes that convert IMP to AMP or to GMP did not reverse the hypoxanthine-induced block, thus demonstrating that mitotic arrest is mediated by a mechanism different from the hypoxanthine arrest of meiosis. Thymidine incorporation studies showed that the block did not prevent the onset of DNA synthesis. The results reveal a profound sensitivity to purine inhibition of a cell process that occurs during the first 30 h of mouse embryo development and is necessary for progession through the G2 or M phases of the second or third cleavage.

Background: While assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs) are considered to be safe, many concerns exist about the safety of these techniques. Two important and indispensable parts of these techniques are in vitro culture and vitrification. While much progress has been made in developing culture conditions, it remains suboptimal. In order to investigate the effect of culture medium on in vitro ...

Most of the systematic studies used in the development of human embryo culture media have been done first on mouse embryos. The general use of NMRI outbred mice is a model for toxicology, teratology and pharmacology. NMRI mouse embryo exhibit the two-cell block in vitro. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of four kinds of culture media on the development of zygo...
