ultrastructural study of isolated mouse preantral follicles co-cultured with cumulus cells with leukemia inhibitory factor
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: the ultrastructural analysis of cultured follicles could direct us to understand subcellular changes during in vitro culture. objective: this study was done to verify the ultrastructural characteristics of in vitro cultured mouse isolated preantral follicles in co-culture system in the presence and absence of leukemia inhibitory factor (lif) materials and methods: mechanically isolated preantral follicles were divided into four groups: control without lif, control with lif, co-cultured group with lif, co-cultured group without lif. in co-culture groups the follicles were cultured with cumulus cells. after 4 days the follicles were processed and sectioned for transmission electron microscopic examination. results: the oocytes of cultured preantral follicles in all studied groups demonstrated a homogeneous cytoplasm and they had the round or ovoid shaped mitochondria with light matrix and cristae. their endoplasmic reticulum cisternae were in association with mitochondria and golgi complex. the cortical granules and the aggregation of mitochondria around the germinal vesicle were prominent in both co-cultured groups. the organelle distribution in granulosa cells was normal in all groups of study and no sign of cell death was observed. in both co-cultured systems the granulosa cells contained mitochondria with tubular cristae, a well developed smooth endoplasmic reticulum and several large lipid droplets, characteristics of steroid synthesis cells. conclusion: the oocyte and granulosa cells in co-cultured system showed more remarkable maturation features than that of control.

متن کاملP-36: The Effect of Lipoic Acid on Developmental Competence of Cultured Isolated Mouse Preantral Follicles
Background: α-Lipoic acid (LA) is a cofactor in mitochondrial multienzyme complexes and is well-known for its antioxidant properties in both of in vivo and in vitro condition. Materials and Methods: Preantral follicles were isolated from 2 weeks old NMRI mice ovaries. LA at concentrations of 0 and 100 μM was supplemented to culture media (α-MEM medium supplemented with 5% FBS, 100 mlU/ml FSH, 1...
متن کاملThe Effects of Different Concentrations of Leukemia Inhibitory Factor on the Development of Isolated Preantral Follicles from Fresh and Vitrified Mouse Ovaries
Background: Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine of interleukin-6 family with a remarkable range of biological actions such as proliferative effects on the granulosa and theca cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of LIF on the growth and maturation of mouse fresh and vitrified preantral follicles, an in vitro model was developed. Methods: The ovaries of...

Co-culture of Buffalo Large Preantral Follicles with Ovarian Somatic Cells
Effect of co-culture of buffalo preantral follicles with different somatic cells, i.e. cumulus cells, granulosa cells, Ovarian Mesenchymal Cells (OMC) and Oviductal Epithelial Cells (OEC) was studied. Large preantral follicles were isolated by microdissecting the trypsin (1%) digested ovarian cortical slices. Cumulus cells were isolated by repeated pipetting of oocytes, granulosa cells were iso...
