SAGE in Cultured Murine COC During Early Maturation

ABSTRACT: In cultured cumulus oocyte complexes (COC) FSH induces gene transcription required for germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD). Experiments were performed to determine the critical period when gene transcription is required for GVBD and identify candidate mRNAs involved. Experiment I: murine COC were cultured 4h in the presence of FSH with 5,6-dichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole (DRB) added at different intervals after the start of culture. COC cultured with FSH underwent GVBD (82+/-7%). When DRB was added at 0, 5 or 10 min after culture initiation, oocyte maturation was blocked (17+/-7%, 14+/-6% and 21+/-6% GVBD, respectively). When DRB was added after 15, 20 or 30 min, progressively more COC underwent GVBD (37+/-6%, 39+/-6% and 66+/-6%, respectively). The critical period of transcription required for GVBD occurred between 15 and 30 min after culture initiation. Experiment II: COC were cultured for 25 min in the presence (plusDRB) or absence (minusDRB) of DRB. SAGE libraries were generated from COC RNA of each treatment group. A total of 48,431 and 45,367 tags were sequenced for the plusDRB and minusDRB libraries, respectively. Criteria used to identify transcripts of interest included a total tag count of at least 10 across both libraries and a 3-fold or greater difference in expression between libraries. Using these criteria, 39 and 27 transcripts were identified as differentially expressed at the P

Project description:Mouse oocytes control cumulus cell metabolic processes that are deficient in the oocytes themselves and this delegation is necessary for oocyte development. Oocyte-derived bone morphogenetic factor 15 (BMP15) and growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) appear to be key regulators of follicular development. The effect of these factors on cumulus cell function before the preovulatory surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) was assessed by analysis of the transcriptomes of cumulus cells from wildtype (WT), Bmp15-/-, and Bmp15-/- Gdf9+/- double mutant (DM) mice using microarray analysis. The biological themes associated with the most highly-affected transcripts were identified using bioinformatic approaches, IPA and GenMAPP/MAPPFinder. There were 5,332, 7,640, and 2,651 transcripts identified to be significantly changed in the comparisons of Bmp15-/- vs. WT, DM vs. WT, and DM vs. Bmp15-/- respectively by the criteria of FC (fold change) p <0.01. Among theses changed transcripts, 744 were commonly changed in all three pair-wise comparisons, and hence were considered to be the most highly affected transcripts by mutation of Bmp15 and Gdf9. IPA Analyses revealed that metabolism was the major theme associated with the most highly-changed transcripts: glycolysis and sterol biosynthesis were the two most significantly affected pathways. Most of the transcripts encoding enzymes for sterol biosynthesis were down-regulated in both mutant cumulus cells and in WT cumulus cell after oocytectomy. Similarly, there was a reduction of de novo-synthesized cholesterol in these cumulus cells. This suggests that oocytes regulate cumulus cell metabolism, particularly sterol biosynthesis, by promoting the expression of corresponding transcripts. Furthermore, in WT-mice, Mvk, Pmvk, Fdps, Sqle, Cyp51, Sc4mol, and Ebp, which encode enzymes in the sterol biosynthetic pathway, were found to be expressed robustly in cumulus cells, but expression was barely detectable in oocytes. Levels of de novo-synthesized cholesterol were significantly higher in cumulusâenclosed oocytes than denuded oocytes. These results indicate that mouse oocytes are deficient in their ability to synthesize cholesterol and require cumulus cells to provide them with products of the sterol biosynthetic pathway. Oocyte-derived BMP15 and GDF9 may promote this metabolic pathway in cumulus cells as compensation for their own deficiencies. Experiment Overall Design: Three sets of independent cumulus cell samples were collected for each genotype (wild type, Bmp15-/-, and Bmp15-/-Gdf9+/-) of mice, and were used for the array study as shown below.
