Chromatin modifications in the germinal vesicle (GV) of mammalian oocytes.
The nucleus of eukaryotic cells is organized into functionally specialized compartments that are essential for the control of gene expression, chromosome architecture and cellular differentiation. The mouse oocyte nucleus or germinal vesicle (GV) exhibits a unique chromatin configuration that is subject to dynamic modifications during oogenesis. This process of 'epigenetic maturation' is critic...
متن کاملHematoxylin Staining Reveals a Decrease in Nucleolar Diameter of Pig Oocytes Before Germinal Vesicle Breakdown
During oocyte growth, the morphology of the nucleolus changes into a compact and homogenous structure. The compact nucleoli in full-grown oocytes are not stained by aceto-orcein staining or immunofluorescence staining. In this study, we developed a hematoxylin staining method for pig oocytes in whole-mount preparations to visualize the nucleoli. Nucleoli of growing and full-grown oocytes were s...
متن کاملChromatin configurations in the ferret germinal vesicle that reflect developmental competence for in vitro maturation.
In several mammalian species, the configuration of germinal vesicle (GV) chromatin correlates with the developmental competence of oocytes. Yet, no study has been published on the configuration of GV chromatin in ferret, nor is it known whether a specific configuration predicts meiotic competence in this species, in spite of the potential importance of ferret cloning to the study of human disea...
متن کاملEvaluation of boar spermatozoa penetrating capacity using pig oocytes at the germinal vesicle stage.
We evaluated the ability of immature pig oocytes (at germinal vesicle stage) to detect differences in the in vitro penetration rates of boar spermatozoa. In Experiment 1, immature and ovulated oocytes (n=303) were exposed to capacitated boar spermatozoa to determine if the penetrability of immature pig oocytes was comparable to that of ovulated oocytes. The percentages of penetrated oocytes and...
متن کاملP-217: The Effect of Progesterone on The In Vitro Maturation of Mouse Germinal Vesicle Oocytes Derived from Polycystic Ovary
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by chronic anovulation and hyperandro genism and affects approximately 5-10% of women of reproductive age. In vitro maturation (IVM) of mammalian oocytes has become an efficient method to produce mature oocytes in order to use in assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), intra cytoplasmic sperm injection ...
