Polar body morphology is not predictive of its cell division origin.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: This study sought to determine whether morphology of simultaneously biopsied polar bodies is predictive of their cell division origin. METHODS: Levels of heterozygosity were measured using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarrays in sequentially biopsied polar bodies to establish the predictive value on samples with known cell division origins. The validated method of predicting cell division origin of polar bodies using heterozygosity rates was then applied to simultaneously biopsied polar bodies which had origin predictions made by morphological assessment. RESULTS: SNP microarray heterozygosity analysis was proven to be 94% predictive when tested against the known origin of sequentially biopsied polar bodies (n?=?133). This methodology subsequently demonstrated that morphology was only 63% consistent when tested on simultaneously biopsied polar bodies (n?=?455; P?

Does first polar body morphology predict oocyte performance during ICSI treatment?

Project description:PURPOSE: To gain insight into the morphology of the first polar body (1 PB) in ICSI patients and to explore whether it could predict mature oocyte viability and performance in this setting. METHODS: Seventy two consecutive women planned to perform ICSI treatment were prospectively recruited for this study. All oocytes retrieved underwent evaluation for nuclear maturity and accurate assessment of 1 PB morphology. MII oocytes were cultured in separate groups in each woman in accordance with two different categories of 1 PB morphology. Category A included normal intact round or ovoid 1 PB and category B included abnormal fragmented 1 PB. Each oocyte was followed throughout fertilization, embryo cleavage and embryo transfer. Cycles that reached embryo transfer, were divided into three groups in accordance with 1 PB morphology. Group I included only category A 1 PB embryos, group II included categories A and B 1 PB embryos, whereas group III included only category B 1 PB embryos. RESULTS: A total of 687 oocytes were aspirated and 553 MII oocytes underwent ICSI leading to 410 zygotes showing normal fertilization on day one. Three hundred ninety seven embryos cleaved on day two and a total of 176 embryos were replaced into the uterus. Clinical implantation and pregnancy rates were significantly correlated with the morphology of the 1 PB corresponding to 31%, 9% and 2% and 61%, 24% and 5%, in groups I, II and III respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrate that 1 PB morphology is related to mature oocyte viability and it has the potential to predict oocyte performance and pregnancy achievement in infertile women undergoing ICSI treatment.

Polar body based aneuploidy screening is poorly predictive of embryo ploidy and reproductive potential.

Project description:PurposePolar body (polar body) biopsy represents one possible solution to performing comprehensive chromosome screening (CCS). This study adds to what is known about the predictive value of polar body based testing for the genetic status of the resulting embryo, but more importantly, provides the first evaluation of the predictive value for actual clinical outcomes after embryo transfer.MethodsSNP array was performed on first polar body, second polar body, and either a blastomere or trophectoderm biopsy, or the entire arrested embryo. Concordance of the polar body-based prediction with the observed diagnoses in the embryos was assessed. In addition, the predictive value of the polar body -based diagnosis for the specific clinical outcome of transferred embryos was evaluated through the use of DNA fingerprinting to track individual embryos.ResultsThere were 459 embryos analyzed from 96 patients with a mean maternal age of 35.3. The polar body-based predictive value for the embryo based diagnosis was 70.3%. The blastocyst implantation predictive value of a euploid trophectoderm was higher than from euploid polar bodies (51% versus 40%). The cleavage stage embryo implantation predictive value of a euploid blastomere was also higher than from euploid polar bodies (31% versus 22%).ConclusionPolar body based aneuploidy screening results were less predictive of actual clinical outcomes than direct embryo assessment and may not be adequate to improve sustained implantation rates. In nearly one-third of cases the polar body based analysis failed to predict the ploidy of the embryo. This imprecision may hinder efforts for polar body based CCS to improve IVF clinical outcomes.

Periplasmic Acid Stress Increases Cell Division Asymmetry (Polar Aging) of Escherichia coli.

Project description:Under certain kinds of cytoplasmic stress, Escherichia coli selectively reproduce by distributing the newer cytoplasmic components to new-pole cells while sequestering older, damaged components in cells inheriting the old pole. This phenomenon is termed polar aging or cell division asymmetry. It is unknown whether cell division asymmetry can arise from a periplasmic stress, such as the stress of extracellular acid, which is mediated by the periplasm. We tested the effect of periplasmic acid stress on growth and division of adherent single cells. We tracked individual cell lineages over five or more generations, using fluorescence microscopy with ratiometric pHluorin to measure cytoplasmic pH. Adherent colonies were perfused continually with LBK medium buffered at pH 6.00 or at pH 7.50; the external pH determines periplasmic pH. In each experiment, cell lineages were mapped to correlate division time, pole age and cell generation number. In colonies perfused at pH 6.0, the cells inheriting the oldest pole divided significantly more slowly than the cells inheriting the newest pole. In colonies perfused at pH 7.50 (near or above cytoplasmic pH), no significant cell division asymmetry was observed. Under both conditions (periplasmic pH 6.0 or pH 7.5) the cells maintained cytoplasmic pH values at 7.2-7.3. No evidence of cytoplasmic protein aggregation was seen. Thus, periplasmic acid stress leads to cell division asymmetry with minimal cytoplasmic stress.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens divisome proteins regulate the transition from polar growth to cell division.

Project description:The mechanisms that restrict peptidoglycan biosynthesis to the pole during elongation and re-direct peptidoglycan biosynthesis to mid-cell during cell division in polar-growing Alphaproteobacteria are largely unknown. Here, we explore the role of early division proteins of Agrobacterium tumefaciens including three FtsZ homologs, FtsA and FtsW in the transition from polar growth to mid-cell growth and ultimately cell division. Although two of the three FtsZ homologs localize to mid-cell, exhibit GTPase activity and form co-polymers, only one, FtsZAT , is required for cell division. We find that FtsZAT is required not only for constriction and cell separation, but also for initiation of peptidoglycan synthesis at mid-cell and cessation of polar peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Depletion of FtsZAT in A. tumefaciens causes a striking phenotype: cells are extensively branched and accumulate growth active poles through tip splitting events. When cell division is blocked at a later stage by depletion of FtsA or FtsW, polar growth is terminated and ectopic growth poles emerge from mid-cell. Overall, this work suggests that A. tumefaciens FtsZ makes distinct contributions to the regulation of polar growth and cell division.

A gephyrin-like protein links cell division and polar elongation in Corynebacteriales

Project description:To discover missing players in corynebacterial cell division we used mass-spectrometry based interactomics using formaldehyde as crosslinker, starting with the FtsZ membrane anchor SepF as a bait for co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) of divisome members. For SepF interactome we carried out the co-IPs using anti-Scarlet antibodies in Cglu strains expressing either SepF-mScarlet or mScarlet. Co-IPs using anti-SepF were also performed from Cglu or SepF-mScarlet strains. GLP interactomes were analysed in two strains: Cglu and Cglu_Dglpr strains.

Deep-Learning-Based Polar-Body Detection for Automatic Cell Manipulation.

Project description:Polar-body detection is an essential and crucial procedure in various automatic cell manipulations. The polar body can only be observed when it is located near the focal plane of the microscope, so we need to detect the polar body during cell rotation in cell manipulations. However, three-dimensional cell rotation by micropipette causes polar-body defocus and cell/polar-body deformation, which have not been discussed in existing image-level polar-body-detection approaches. Moreover, varying sizes of the polar bodies increase the difficulty of polar-body detection. In this paper, we propose a deep-learning-based framework to realize polar-body detection in cell rotation. The detection problem is interpreted as image segmentation, which separates the polar body from the background. Then, we improve U-net, which is a typical convolutional neural network (CNN) for medical-image segmentation, so that the network can be applied to polar-body detection, especially for the detection of defocused polar bodies and polar bodies of different sizes. For CNN training, we also designed a particular image-transformation method to simulate more cell-rotation situations, including cell- and polar-body deformation, so that the deformed polar body in cell rotation would be detected by the proposed method. Experiment results show that our method achieves high detection accuracy of 98.7% on a test dataset of 1000 images, and performs well in cell-rotation processes. This method can be applied to various automatic cell manipulations in the future.

Myosin XI-K is involved in root organogenesis, polar auxin transport, and cell division.

Project description:The interplay between myosin- and auxin-mediated processes was investigated by following root development in the triple myosin knockout mutant xi-k xi-1 xi-2 (3KO). It was found that the 3KO plants generated significantly more lateral and adventitious roots than the wild-type plants or the rescued plant line expressing functional myosin XI-K:yellow fluorescent protein (YFP; 3KOR). Using the auxin-dependent reporter DR5:venus, a significant change in the auxin gradient toward the root tip was found in 3KO plants, which correlated with the loss of polar localization of the auxin transporter PIN1 in the stele and with the increased number of stele cells with oblique cell walls. Interestingly, myosin XI-K:YFP was localized to the cell division apparatus in the root and shoot meristems. In anaphase and early telophase, XI-K:YFP was concentrated in the midzone and the forming cell plate. In late telophase, XI-K:YFP formed a ring that overlapped with the growing phragmoplast. Myosin receptors MyoB1 and MyoB2 that are highly expressed throughout the plant were undetectable in dividing cells, suggesting that the myosin function in cell division relies on distinct adaptor proteins. These results suggest that myosin XIs are involved in orchestrating root organogenesis via effects on polar distribution of auxin responses and on cell division.

RNA processing body (P-body) dynamics in mesophyll protoplasts re-initiating cell division.

Project description:The ability of plants to regenerate lies in the capacity of differentiated cells to reprogram and re-enter the cell cycle. Reprogramming of cells requires changes in chromatin organisation and gene expression. However, there has been less focus on changes at the post transcription level. We have investigated P-bodies, sites of post transcriptional gene regulation, in plant cell reprogramming in cultured mesophyll protoplasts; by using a YFP-VARICOSE (YFP-VCSc) translational fusion. We showed an early increase in P-body number and volume, followed by a decline, then a subsequent continued increase in P-body number and volume as cell division was initiated and cell proliferation continued. We infer that plant P-bodies have a role to play in reprogramming the mature cell and re-initiating the cell division cycle. The timing of the first phase is consistent with the degredation of messages no longer required, as the cell transits to the division state, and may also be linked to the stress response associated with division induction in cultured cells. The subsequent increase in P-body formation, with partitioning to the daughter cells during the division process, suggests a role in the cell cycle and its re-initiation in daughter cells. P-bodies were shown to be mobile in the cytoplasm and show actin-based motility which facilitates their post-transcriptional role and partitioning to daughter cells.

Specific polar subpopulations of astral microtubules control spindle orientation and symmetric neural stem cell division.

Project description:Mitotic spindle orientation is crucial for symmetric vs asymmetric cell division and depends on astral microtubules. Here, we show that distinct subpopulations of astral microtubules exist, which have differential functions in regulating spindle orientation and division symmetry. Specifically, in polarized stem cells of developing mouse neocortex, astral microtubules reaching the apical and basal cell cortex, but not those reaching the central cell cortex, are more abundant in symmetrically than asymmetrically dividing cells and reduce spindle orientation variability. This promotes symmetric divisions by maintaining an apico-basal cleavage plane. The greater abundance of apical/basal astrals depends on a higher concentration, at the basal cell cortex, of LGN, a known spindle-cell cortex linker. Furthermore, newly developed specific microtubule perturbations that selectively decrease apical/basal astrals recapitulate the symmetric-to-asymmetric division switch and suffice to increase neurogenesis in vivo. Thus, our study identifies a novel link between cell polarity, astral microtubules, and spindle orientation in morphogenesis.

Supplier-origin mouse microbiomes significantly influence locomotor and anxiety-related behavior, body morphology, and metabolism.

Project description:The mouse is the most commonly used model species in biomedical research. Just as human physical and mental health are influenced by the commensal gut bacteria, mouse models of disease are influenced by the fecal microbiome (FM). The source of mice represents one of the strongest influences on the FM and can influence the phenotype of disease models. The FM influences behavior in mice leading to the hypothesis that mice of the same genetic background from different vendors, will have different behavioral phenotypes. To test this hypothesis, colonies of CD-1 mice, rederived via embryo transfer into surrogate dams from four different suppliers, were subjected to phenotyping assays assessing behavior and physiological parameters. Significant differences in behavior, growth rate, metabolism, and hematological parameters were observed. Collectively, these findings show the profound influence of supplier-origin FMs on host behavior and physiology in healthy, genetically similar, wild-type mice maintained in identical environments.
