To fuse with oocytes, spermatozoa of eutherian mammals must pass through extracellular coats, the cumulus cell layer, and the zona pellucida (ZP). It is generally believed that the acrosome reaction (AR) of spermatozoa, essential for zona penetration and fusion with oocytes, is triggered by sperm contact with the zona pellucida. Therefore, in most previous studies of sperm-oocyte interactions i...
The oocyte is the starting point for a new generation. Most of the machinery for DNA and protein synthesis needed for the developing embryo is made autonomously by the fertilized oocyte. However, in fish and in many other oviparous vertebrates, the major constituents of the egg, i.e. yolk and eggshell proteins, are synthesized in the liver and transported to the oocyte for uptake. Vitellogenesi...
We developed a highly-functional untethered on-chip robot for cell handling and micro-knife made by Si to cut zona pellucida of oocyte. The on-chip robot has a gripping mechanism which can grasp a cell or micro-object with sufficient power. The position and handling force of the robot are controlled independently by the magnetic force. The permanent magnets and electrical magnet are assembled t...
In most species, the zona pellucida (ZP), an extracellular matrix surrounding the mammalian oocyte, is composed of three glycoproteins: ZPA, ZPB and ZPC. Based mainly on results with mice, the site of zona pellucida biosynthesis has been suggested to be exclusively in the oocyte cytoplasm. However, evidence is accumulating that among various species cumulus/granulosa cells may be involved. Beca...
The zona pellucida surrounding the pig oocyte contains two Mr 55,000 glycoproteins, pZPB and pZPC, which are orthologues of mouse zona proteins ZP1 and ZP3, respectively. We previously reported that isolated boar sperm membrane vesicles possess high affinity binding sites for partially purified pZPB, but not pZPC. Interestingly, co-incubation experiments also implicated pZPB-pZPC complexes as p...
Cigarette smoking can harm fertility, but the existing research has targeted primarily on ovarian follicles, embryos or sex hormone. In this study, we tested cigarette smoke extract on ovulation, oocyte morphology and ovarian gene expression associated with inhibition of oxidative stress using C57BL/6 mice. Mice in the experimental group were administered a cigarette smoke extract (CSE) solutio...
The penetration of the zona pellucida is a crucial step during fertilization. Spermatozoa that are unable to recognize and bind to the zona pellucida glycoproteins or respond to the zona pellucida by undergoing the acrosome reaction fail to fertilize the egg. In most mammalian species, after entering the fallopian tube sperm are stored in the isthmic part of the oviduct under conditions that ma...
The mammalian zona pellucida is an extracellular matrix that surrounds growing oocytes, ovulated eggs and early embryos. The mouse zona is composed of three sulfated glycoproteins: ZP1, ZP2 and ZP3. Each is critically involved in fertilization, the postfertilization block to polyspermy and protection of the preimplantation embryo. We have previously isolated cDNAs encoding mouse ZP2 and ZP3 and...
Granulosa cells play an important part in the nutrition of the oocyte during oogenesis (Raven, 1961). Anderson & Beams (1960) suggested that, in the primary follicle, nutritive material synthesized by the granulosa cells reaches the oocyte by diffusion across the zona pellucida. In the rabbit, follicle formation and elaboration of the zona pellucida begin at the end of the second week after bir...
The changes that occur in the carbohydrate composition of zona pellucida glycoproteins during oocyte maturation in the wild-boar were studied using periodic-acid Schiff (PAS), High Iron Diamine (HID) and Low Iron Diamine (LID). Lectin staining was performed with a panel of 11 HRP-lectin conjugates combined with neuraminidase digestion and chemical treatments. There were few internal glucidic re...
