چکیده

Properties of uptake and exchange of L-methionine associated with the compartments of the blastocyst were examined in the mouse embryo. The inner cell mass (ICM) was derived from the 102 h blastocyst by immunosurgical procedures and studied in isolation. The ICM possessed strong exchange and efflux transport character. The Vmax of transport was about one-fifth that of the intact blastocyst, but the Km (660 microM) was about 30 times as high as that of the intact blastocyst. Consequently, at a concentration of about 100 microM-methionine, the the velocity of uptake into the ICM is about one-thirtieth of that into the intact blastocyst. Uptake of amino acid into the intact blastocyst was resolved into cellular and cavity components by mechanically collapsing the blastocyst following uptake of radiolabelled methionine. By this method, it was found that about 70% of the label accumulated by the blastocyst was in the cavity.

System B0,+ amino acid transport regulates the penetration stage of blastocyst implantation with possible long-term developmental consequences through adulthood.

Amino acid transport system B(0,+) was first characterized in detail in mouse blastocysts over two decades ago. Since then, this system has been shown to be involved in a wide array of developmental processes from blastocyst implantation in the uterus to adult obesity. Leucine uptake through system B(0,+) in blastocysts triggers mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signalling. This signalling p...

The Effect of Granulosa Cells Co-culture and Retinoic Acid on Maturation and Development of Immature Mouse Oocytes in Vitro

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop an appropriate medium for in vitro maturation (IVM) of immature mouse oocytes. Materials and Methods: Germinal vesicle of female NMRI mouse oocytes (6-8 weeks old) were collected from ovaries and cultured in maturation medium MEM-a, supplemented with: 100 mlIU/ml rFSH+7.5 IU/ml hCG+5% FCS (Control group) and 2mM all- trans retinoic acid (t-RA) ...

Protein and free amino acid content in preimplantation mouse embryos and in blastocysts under various culture conditions.

By using a rapid and sensitive method for determination of total protein and free amino acid contents we have shown that mouse preimplantation embryos developing in vivo and in vitro contain decreasing amounts of protein until the late blastocyst stage. Free amino acid contents in embryos developing in vivo drop following fertilization and then rise gradually until the late blastocyst stage. Em...

P-117: Gene Expression and Developmental State of Mouse Cloned Embryos after Treatment with Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor,Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA)

Background: It is known that acetylation level of the nuclear histones in cloned embryos is lower compare to normally developed embryos. Histone deacetylas inhibitors (HDACi) with improvement of acetylation level in these embryos can affect embryo quality in pre-implantation stage and expression level of different genes especially developmental genes. Materials and Methods: In this research, SA...

Expression of the amino acid transporter ATB 0+ in lung: possible role in luminal protein removal.

Normal lung function requires transepithelial clearance of luminal proteins; however, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of protein transport. Protein degradation followed by transport of peptides and amino acids may play an important role in this process. We previously cloned and functionally characterized the neutral and cationic amino acid transporter ATB(0+) and showed expressio...
