Project description:Lactating cows experience transient metabolic stresses during postpartum which results in abnormal concentrations of non-esterified fatty acids and beta-hydroxybutyrate that can affect embryo-maternal communication and ultimately reproductive success. We hypothesize that metabolic challenges in lactating cows influence DNA methylation changes of the embryos prior to implantation affecting genes involved in embryo developmental competency. Therefore, we compared whole genome bisulfite sequencing (wgbs) of morulas derived from in vitro produced 2-4 cell embryos and transferred in the oviduct of metabolically profiled lactating cows until day 7. Similar stage of in vitro production (IVP) embryos were transferred to the oviduct of nulliparous heifers as a metabolically unchallenged control. Bisulfite-Seq DNA libraries were generated from groups of five morulas using an EZ DNA methylation-direct kit and Pico-Methyl seq library preparation kit (Zymo Research), and parallel sequenced using the illumine HiSeq2500 system at the institute of Genome Biology, Leibniz-Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN), Dummerstorf, Germany.

Project description:Four groups of human oocytes from in vitro fertilization programme were analysed using microarrays: 1.) oocytes matured in vivo (retrieved as mature by ultrasound follicular aspiration but not fertilized after in vitro fertilization), 2.) oocytes matured in vitro in a conventional way (in a maturation medium with added gonadotropins FSH and HCG), 3.) oocytes matured in vitro by a new approach (in a maturation medium with added gonadotropins FSH and HCG, and in a co-culture with cumulus cells from mature oocytes of the same patient), and 4.) not matured oocytes which did not mature in spite of in vitro maturation procedure. Each group of oocytes consisted of three biological replicates with 10 oocytes per replicate therefore 12 oocyte samples and altogether 120 human oocytes were analyzed by microarrays.

Project description:Clinicians need additional metrics for predicting quality of human oocytes for IVF procedures. Human polar bodies reflect the oocyte transcript profile. Quantitation of polar body mRNAs could allow for both oocyte ranking and embryo preferences in IVF applications. The transcriptome of a polar body has never been reported, in any organism. Eight total samples. There are 2 biological replicates of the following four conditions: pooled oocytes and their sister polar bodies and a single oocyte and its sister polar body.

Project description:The transfer of somatic cell nuclei into oocytes can give rise to pluripotent stem cells, holding promise for autologous cell replacement therapy. Though reprogramming of somatic cells by nuclear transfer was first demonstrated more than 60 years ago, only recently have human diploid embryonic stem cells been derived after nuclear transfer of fetal and neonatal fibroblasts. Because of the therapeutic potential of developing diploid embryonic stem cell lines from adult cells of normal and diseased human subjects, we have systematically investigated the parameters affecting efficiency and developmental potential in their derivation. We found that improvements to the oocyte activation protocol, including the use of both a kinase and a translation inhibitor, and cell culture in the presence of histone deacetylase inhibitors enable development of diploid cells to the blastocyst stage. Developmental efficiency varied significantly between oocyte donors, and was inversely related to the number of days of hormonal stimulation required to reach mature oocytes, while the daily dose of gonadotropin or the total number of MII oocytes retrieved did not affect developmental outcome. The use of diluted Sendai virus in calcium-free medium during nuclear transfer improved developmental potential, while the use of concentrated Sendai virus induced an increase in intracellular calcium and caused premature oocyte activation. Using these modifications to the nuclear transfer protocol, we successfully derived diploid pluripotent stem cell lines from both postnatal and adult somatic cells of a type 1 diabetic subject. The goal of this experiment was to determine if human oocytes have the ability to reprogram a somatic cell genome in the absence of the oocyte genome. Our previous research had indicated that human oocytes can reprogram adult somatic cells if the oocyte genome remains present (Noggle et al. Nature 2011, doi:10.1038/nature10397). The data presented here is part of a new series of experiments aimed at obtaining diploid cells after somatic cell nuclear transfer into enucleated oocytes. In this experiment, adult somatic cells were transferred into enucleated oocytes and thereafter cultured in the presence of 240ng/ml scriptaid for 17 hours. Samples were cultured until cleavage stage and then collected for microarray analysis.

Project description:In vitro maturation (IVM) of the oocytes is a routine method in bovine embryo production. The competence of bovine oocytes to develop into embryo after IVM and in vitro fertilization (IVF) is lower as compared to in vivo preovulatory oocytes. Cumulus cells (CC) that enclose an oocyte are involved in the acquisition of oocyte quality during maturation. Using transcriptomic approach we compared cumulus cells gene expression during IVM with that in vivo preovulatory period. Global transcriptional profiling was performed using cumulus cells collected from mature bovine oocytes (metaphase-II stage) after maturation performed either in vivo or in vitro. In vivo matured cumulus cells were collected from ovulatory follicles of Montbeliard adult cows by ovum pick-up in vivo (OPU, n=4). In vitro matured cumulus cells were recovered from the oocytes after 22h of in vitro culture of cumulus-oocyte complexes (50 COC per experiment) from 2-6 mm ovarian follicles of adult cows (MIV, n=4). Gene expression analysis was carried out between in vivo and in vitro matured cumulus representing a total of 8 slides (dye swap protocol)

Project description:The decline in oocyte quality is a limiting factor of female fertility; however, strategies to maintain the oocyte quality of aged women are not available. In this study, we showed that growth hormone (GH) supplementation in vivo not only alleviated the decline in oocyte number caused by aging, but also improved the quality and developmental potential of aged oocytes. Strikingly, GH supplementation reduced aneuploidy in aged oocytes. Proteomic analysis indicated that the ERK1/2 pathway was involved in the reduction in aneuploidy rate of aged oocytes, as confirmed both in vivo and in vitro. In addition, JAK2 might be involved in the regulation of ERK1/2 by GH in aged oocytes. Collectively, our findings revealed that GH supplementation protects oocytes from aging-related aneuploidy and enhances the quality of aged oocytes, and could be used to improve the outcome of assisted reproduction in aged women.

Project description:The identification of genes and deduced pathways from the mature human oocyte can help us better understand oogenesis, folliculogenesis, fertilization, and embryonic development. Human metaphase II oocytes were used within minutes after removal from the ovary, and its transcriptome was compared with a reference sample consisting of a mixture of total RNA from 10 different normal human tissues not including the ovary. RNA amplification was performed by using a unique protocol. Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 GeneChip arrays were used for hybridizations. Compared with reference samples, there were 5,331 transcripts significantly up-regulated and 7,074 transcripts significantly down-regulated in the oocyte. Of the oocyte up-regulated probe sets, 1,430 have unknown function. A core group of 66 transcripts was identified by intersecting significantly up-regulated genes of the human oocyte with those from the mouse oocyte and from human and mouse embryonic stem cells. GeneChip array results were validated using RT-PCR in a selected set of oocyte-specific genes. Within the up-regulated probe sets, the top overrepresented categories were related to RNA and protein metabolism, followed by DNA metabolism and chromatin modification. This report provides a comprehensive expression baseline of genes expressed in in vivo matured human oocytes. Further understanding of the biological role of these genes may expand our knowledge on meiotic cell cycle, fertilization, chromatin remodeling, lineage commitment, pluripotency, tissue regeneration, and morphogenesis. Experiment Overall Design: We generated a database of the human oocyte transcriptome by comparing the transcripts in the oocyte with the reference samples, which contain mRNA from several somatic tissues. Experiment Overall Design: Human oocytes were obtained from three patients undergoing an assisted reproductive treatment (ART) at the Unit of Reproductive Medicine of Clinica Las Condes, Santiago, Chile. It is important to emphasize that the routine in vitro fertilization protocol at Clinica Las Condes calls for fertilizing only those oocytes that will be transferred into the uterus of the patient. Therefore, there is always a surplus of oocytes. We then had the opportunity to use specific criteria to select donors as follows: (i) <35 years old, (ii) reproductively healthy with regular ovulatory cycles, (iii) male factor as the only cause of infertility, and (iv) considerable number of developing follicles that assured spared oocytes. The experimental protocol was reviewed and approved by a local independent Ethics Review Board. All donors signed informed consent. At the time this manuscript was submitted, all three donors had already conceived; two of them got pregnant during the ART cycle in which our samples were collected, and the third one got pregnant after a spontaneous cycle with artificial insemination using donated sperm. Ovarian stimulation, oocyte retrieval, and cell lysis were performed as described in Supporting Materials and Methods, which is published as supporting information on the PNAS web site. Experiment Overall Design: Three groups of 10 oocytes each were used. Reference RNA (100 μg) was prepared by mixing 10 μg of total RNA from each of 10 different normal human tissues, including skeletal muscle, kidney, lung, colon, liver, spleen, breast, brain, heart, and stomach (Ambion). Experiment Overall Design: Transcriptional profile of each sample was probed by using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 GeneChips.

Project description:Expression data from prepubertal, peripubertal, and adult derived mouse oocytes, and from germinal vesicle (GV), in vivo matured, and in vitro matured mouse oocytes. Oocytes derived from prepubertal females, or oocytes matured in vitro, are less developmentally competent compared to adult derived, or in vivo matured, oocytes, indicated by decreased embryonic development. One potential mechanism for decreased developmental potetential in prepubertal or in vitro matured oocytes is inadequate or inappropriate RNA degradation during oocyte maturation (progression from GV to MII). To investigate mechanisms involved in establishing oocyte cytoplasmic maturation and developmental competence, Affymetrix GeneChip microarrays were used. Keywords: Oocyte developmental competence The study encompassed three experimental designs using female B6D2F1 mice: 1) In vitro matured oocytes were obtained from d20 (prepubertal), d26 (peripubertal), and 7-8 wk old (adult) mice; 2) in vivo and in vitro matured oocytes were obtained from d26 mice; and 3) GV, in vivo matured, and in vitro matured oocytes were obtained from 7-8 wk old mice. RNA was extracted from pools of 150 oocytes and hybridized onto the Affymetrix microarrays.
