ZP3 is Required for Germinal Vesicle Breakdown in Mouse Oocyte Meiosis
ZP3 is a principal component of the zona pellucida (ZP) of mammalian oocytes and is essential for normal fertility, and knockout of ZP3 causes complete infertility. ZP3 promotes fertilization by recognizing sperm binding and activating the acrosome reaction; however, additional cellular roles for ZP3 in mammalian oocytes have not been yet reported. In the current study, we found that ZP3 was st...
متن کاملGerminal vesicle breakdown in the mouse oocyte.
Germinal vesicle breakdown in mouse oocytes in vivo and in vitro has been examined by electron microscopy. In vitro oocytes were studied immediately after release from follicles and at various times (05-11 h) in culture. Approximately 30 min after oocyte release, chromatin condensation begins along the convoluted nuclear envelope (NE). Chromatin granules are common in all condensing chromosomes...
متن کاملMeiosis, egg activation, and nuclear envelope breakdown are differentially reliant on Ca2+, whereas germinal vesicle breakdown is Ca2+ independent in the mouse oocyte
During early development, intracellular Ca2+ mobilization is not only essential for fertilization, but has also been implicated during other meiotic and mitotic events, such as germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) and nuclear envelope breakdown (NEBD). In this study, the roles of intracellular and extracellular Ca2+ were examined during meiotic maturation and reinitiation at parthenogenetic activa...
متن کاملCombined effects of calcium and dibutyryl cyclic AMP on germinal vesicle breakdown in the mouse oocyte.
Mouse oocytes were cultured in the presence of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) and various agents that affect cytoplasmic calcium concentrations. Treatment that inhibited calcium uptake potentiated the inhibitory effect of dbcAMP and treatments which stimulated cellular calcium uptake overcame the effect of dbcAMP. Elevated extracellular calcium (greater than 10 mM) significantly decreased the in...
متن کاملEstramustine phosphate inhibits germinal vesicle breakdown and induces depolymerization of microtubules in mouse oocyte.
The first meiotic cell division (meiotic maturation) of the dictyate stage of mouse oocytes, removed from the follicle, resumes spontaneously in vitro. This study indicates that estramustine phosphate reversibly blocks meiotic maturation by inhibiting germinal vesicle breakdown. Oocyte cryostat sections were stained with anti-tubulin and two antibodies (anti-MAP1: JA2 and 5051) which decorated ...
