Damaged chromatin does not prevent the exit from metaphase I in fused mouse oocytes.
The presence of checkpoint mechanisms which are able to recognize damaged chromatin and thereafter to prevent exit from metaphase I has been investigated in giant mouse oocytes produced by fusion of a normal metaphase I oocyte with an equivalent oocyte with damaged chromatin. The presence of damaged chromatin did not prevent the onset of anaphase I in both sets of chromatin in the fused cells. ...
متن کاملAsymmetric parental genome engineering by Cas9 during mouse meiotic exit
Mammalian genomes can be edited by injecting pronuclear embryos with Cas9 cRNA and guide RNA (gRNA) but it is unknown whether editing can also occur during the onset of embryonic development, prior to pronuclear embryogenesis. We here report Cas9-mediated editing during sperm-induced meiotic exit and the initiation of development. Injection of unfertilized, mouse metaphase II (mII) oocytes with...
متن کاملP-103: Polscope Analysis of Meiotic Spindle and Zona Pellucida Birefringence of Metaphase II Oocytes in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Patients
Background Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOs) is one of the most common causes of infertility in women of reproductive age. Currently, one of the best therapeutic options for PCOs patients is ICSI. Moreover, IVM can be a useful technique for women with PCOs who are at the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). On the other hand, the oocyte quality can be a determining factor for outc...
متن کاملThe Influence of Meiotic Spindle Configuration by Cysteamine during in vitro Maturation of Mouse Oocytes
Background: The aim of this study was to assess effects of cysteamine as an anti-oxidant on rate of in vitro maturation of oocyte and determination of its effects on spindle size and shape. Methods: Pre-mature mice were primed with pregnant mare stimulating gonadotrophin (PMSG) and germinal vesicle (GV) stage oocytes were obtained 48 h after. The oocytes were cultured in tissue culture medium (...
متن کاملAge-Associated Lipidome Changes in Metaphase II Mouse Oocytes
The quality of mammalian oocytes declines with age, which negatively affects fertilization and developmental potential. The aging process often accompanies damages to macromolecules such as proteins, DNA, and lipids. To investigate if aged oocytes display an altered lipidome compared to young oocytes, we performed a global lipidomic analysis between oocytes from 4-week-old and 42 to 50-week-old...
