P-127: Characterization of Filia, A Maternal Effect Gene, in Bovine Oocytes and Embryos
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Genetic analysis in mice has lead to find about maternal effect genes such as Filia. Filia knock out mice have a 50% decrease in fertility. Filia dysfunction causes disorders in pre-implantation development. Mutations in human Filia gene, cause FBHM (Familial Biparental Hydatidiform Mole) in women. Filia protein in mice is homologous to that of rat and human, so this idea has emerged that maybe it is present in the bovine oocytes/embryos. Materials and Methods: To find Filia gene expression, primers were designed with OLIGO5 software and the amplified fragment was sequenced, and then translated to protein. A Real-Time experiment was done to identify the expression pattern in oocytes, and blastocysts. A bioinformatic analysis was done on bovine Filia gene (AC_000166.1) and its 2 kb upstream promoter, in FGENESH online tool, and the consensus transcription start site (TSS) and number of exons were predicted. The partial protein sequence was analysed in PHYRE2 online tool and the consensus domains were predicted. A 3' RACE-PCR analysis was implemented to identify different Filia splice variants. Results: Real-Time Data showed that Filia is expressed in bovine oocytes and pre-implantation embryos with a specific pattern. Three exons and one TSS were predicted in FGENESH and according to PHYRE2 results, the 5' protein sequence consisted of a RNA-binding KHdomain, previously found in mouse Filia protein. The 3' RACE-PCR results showed that just one splice variant was amplified. Conclusion: Filia has a maternal inheritance in bovine, and can be an essential factor in bovine embryo development and female fertility.

Role of Filia, a maternal effect gene, in maintaining euploidy during cleavage-stage mouse embryogenesis.
During oogenesis, mammalian eggs accumulate proteins required for early embryogenesis. Although limited data suggest a vital role of these maternal factors in chromatin reprogramming and embryonic genome activation, the full range of their functions in preimplantation development remains largely unknown. Here we report a role for maternal proteins in maintaining chromosome stability and euploid...

Background: Currently, a limited number of studies have been done on the vitrification of small ruminant oocytes, especially in sheep, where poor developmental rates are obtained following immature and mature oocyte vitrification. Poor ovine oocyte cryopreservation could attribute to the damage to enzymes which has role in metabolic pathways. Therefore, production of cytokines and growth factor...

Little is known about expression of microRNA (miRNA) in bovine oocytes and pre-implantation embryos. These molecules likely have an important role in regulating development. For example, differences in quality of oocytes matured in vivo v. in vitro might be due, in part, to altered miRNA expression. In Experiment 1, in vivo-matured COC were collected by transvaginal aspiration of 7 superstimula...

Glucose metabolism of the bovine embryo is low during the first cleavages and increases sharply after the major resumption of the genome (8-16 cells). The mRNA level for genes involved in glucose metabolism was tested by RT-PCR on individual oocytes and embryos at different stages of development. These genes were: glucose transport GLUT-1, hexokinase (HK), glucose-6-phosphatase-dehydrogenase (G...

Gossypol (50 and 100 micrograms/ml) decreased the percentage of sperm that completed the swim-up procedure. This effect was not blocked by glutathione monoethyl ester. Cleavage rates were not different between oocytes inseminated with gossypol-treated spermatozoa (10 or 50 micrograms/ml) and oocytes inseminated with control spermatozoa. Development to the blastocyst stage at Day 7 after insemin...
