Meiosis and Inhibition of Ovulation in Mouse Eggs Treated with Actinomycin D
نویسنده
چکیده
Barros and Austin (1) have reported on the inhibition of ovulation in the golden hamster by parenteral actinomycin D (AMD). During studies aimed at characterising the meiotic chromosome damage induced by various inhibitors of DNA, RNA, and protein, the author has made some observations in vitro and in vivo on the effects of AMD on female mouse meiosis . These data extend the information of Barros and Austin (1) on hamster and of Pool and Lipner (2) on rabbit, particularly with reference to cytogenetic changes in the inhibited eggs .

متن کاملSperm DNA damage in mice irradiated with various doses of X-rays alone or in combination with actinomycin D or bleomycin sulfate: an in vivo study
Background: DNA damage in male germ cells due to exposure to environmental and manmade physico-chemical genotoxic agents is considered as the main cause of male infertility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of combined modalities (radiotherapy and chemotherapy) routinely used for cancer treatment on mouse sperm chromatin in vivo. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight mice were div...

Background: Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) originates from placental trophoblast and is a highly chemosensitive and curable gynecologic malignancy. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of EMA/EP (etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin-D, etoposide, and cisplatin) regimen in the treatment of high-risk GTN as well as patients’ outcome. &nb...
متن کاملCalmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, and not protein kinase C, is sufficient for triggering cell-cycle resumption in mammalian eggs.
Mouse eggs arrest at metaphase II following ovulation and are only triggered to complete meiosis when fertilized. Sperm break the cell-cycle arrest by a long-lasting series of Ca2+ spikes that lead to an activation of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. The signal transduction pathway is not fully resolved but both protein kinase C (PKC) and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CamKII)...
