Properties of the zona pellucida of cytochalasin B-induced triploid mouse eggs.
نویسنده
چکیده
The hardening of the zona pellucida as a result of the cortical reaction was estimated in triploid oocytes produced with cytochalasin B by two different procedures. Triploid oocytes resulting from fertilization in the presence of cytochalasin B did not reveal hardening of the zona pellucida unlike triploids obtained by inhibiting in-vitro extrusion of the second polar body in oocytes fertilized in vivo.

I-13 Infertility with Impaired Zona Pellucida Adhesion of Spermatozoa from Mice LackingTauCstF-64
Background: Fertilization is a multistep process requiring spermatozoa with unique cellular structures and numerous germ cell-specific molecules that function in the various steps. In the highly coordinated process of male germ cell development, RNA splicing and polyadenylation help regulate gene expression to ensure formation of functional spermatozoa. Male germ cells express tauCstF-64 (Cstf2...
متن کاملHatching and Distribution of Actin Filaments in Mouse Blastocysts Treated with Cytochalasin B
It is generally accepted that the hatching of mouse blastocysts is accompanied by regional dissolution of the zona pellucida by a trypsin-like proteinase synthesized in trophectoderm cells (Perona and Wassarman, 1986; Hogan et al., 1994), and trophectoderm cells protrude from the dissolved hole of the zona pellucida (Orsini and McLaren, 1967; McLaren, 1970; Niimura and Fujii, 1997). Then a slit...
متن کاملCytochalasin B-induced pseudo-cleavage of mouse oocytes in vitro: asymmetric localization of mitochondria and microvilli associated with a stage-specific response.
Mouse oocytes are induced by cytochalasin B to undergo 'pseudo-cleavage' in vitro into 2 equally sized and separable compartments. This response to the drug is dependent upon the meiotic state of the oocytes, as well as upon the presence of an intact zona pellucida. The resulting 2 cellular compartments can be completely separated from another and cultured in vitro. Each of the compartments pos...
متن کاملInduction of triploidy in the mouse by cytochalasin B.
Mouse eggs fertilized in vivo were treated with cytochalasin B in vitro (5 mug/ml of culture medium) at the moment of extrusion of the second polar body (2-5, 3-0, 3-5 h after copulation). Cytochalasin B inhibits cytokinesis of the second maturation division, so that triploid digynic eggs are formed in over 50% of treated eggs. Triploid eggs were transplanted to the oviducts of recipients. On t...

Sperm-egg interaction was investigated in mouse eggs freed from the zona pellucida and injected with Clostridium difficile toxin B, the inhibitor of Rho family small G proteins. Toxin B reduced in a dose-dependent manner the percentage of eggs associated with sperm fusion on the surface or sperm nucleus decondensation in the ooplasm, examined by injection of a DNA-staining dye into the egg and ...
