Project description:The oocyte forms a complex with their somatic cumulus cells within the follicle throughout the preovulatory maturation steps. Cumulus cells support their oocyte not only through mechanical protection but also with a close bidirectional exchange of metabolites. Analysis of the oocytes cumulus gives the opportunity to explore non-invasively oocytal well-being and quality. In vitro maturation (IVM) is the first rate-limiting step in in vitro embryo production. Analysis of protein expression in cumulus cells around this critical step helps to explore the impact of maturation conditions and to examine an influence on maturational competence of the oocyte. The goal of this study was the comparison of the cumulus proteome of oocytes with and without maturational competence matured under in vivo and in vitro conditions. Therefore twenty cumulus samples corresponding to single oocytes were analysed. Half of the samples were matured in vivo and the other half in vitro. For each maturation group, cumulus from oocytes matured successfully (SM; n=5) and failed to mature (FM; n=5) were analysed.

Project description:The present study was undertaken to discover molecular markers in bovine cumulus cells predictive of oocyte competence and elucidate their functional significance. Differences in RNA transcript abundance in cumulus cells harvested from oocytes of adult versus prepubertal animals (model of poor oocyte quality) were identified by microarray analysis. Four genes of interest encoding for the lysosomal cysteine proteinases cathepsin B, S, K and Z and displaying greater transcript abundance in cumulus cells surrounding oocytes harvested from prepubertal animals were chosen for further investigation. Greater mRNA abundance for such genes in cumulus cells of prepubertal oocytes was confirmed by real time RT-PCR. Elevated transcript abundance for cathepsins B, S and Z was also observed in cumulus cells surrounding adult metaphase II oocytes that developed to the blastocyst stage at a low percentage following parthenogenetic activation, versus those that developed at a high percentage. Functional significance of cumulus cell cathepsin expression to oocyte competence was confirmed by treatment of cumulus oocyte complexes during in vitro oocyte maturation with a cell permeable cysteine proteinase (cathepsin) inhibitor. Inhibitor treatment decreased apoptotic nuclei in the cumulus layer and enhanced development of parthenogenetically activated and in vitro fertilized adult oocytes to the blastocyst stage. Stimulatory effects of inhibitor treatment during meiotic maturation on subsequent embryonic development were not observed when oocytes were matured in the absence of cumulus cells. Results support a functional role for cumulus cell cathepsins in compromised oocyte competence and suggest that cumulus cell cathepsin mRNA abundance may be predictive of oocyte quality.

Project description:Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) are currently used on cumulus-oocyte complexes to mimic the luteinizing hormone surge in vitro and induce oocyte maturation and cumulus expansion. We have previously shown that addition of exogenous recombinant growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) during oocyte in vitro maturation led to an improvement of oocyte quality, as shown by an increased blastocyst percentage and fetal survival. Our objective was to characterize the effect of FSH/EGF and GDF9 treatments on mouse cumulus cells expression profile by microarray analysis.

Keywords: Bovine, microarray, cDNA, cumulus cells Differences in RNA transcript abundance in cumulus cells harvested from oocytes of adult versus prepubertal animals (model of poor oocyte quality) were identified by microarray analysis. Total RNA from pools of cumulus cells (n = 4) collected from adult and prepubertal animals for microarray experiments was amplified. Two color microarray experiments were conducted using a bovine cDNA array containing expressed sequence tags (ESTs) representing approximately 15200 unique genes. Hybridizations were performed on duplicate slides (prepubertal versus adult) and incorporated a dye swap. The total number of slides used is eight.

Project description:Cumulus cells are biologically distinct from other follicular cells and perform specialized roles, transmitting signals within the ovary and supporting oocyte maturation during follicular development. The bi-directional communication between the oocyte and the surrounding cumulus cells is crucial for the acquisition of oocyte competence. Using Illumina/deep-sequencing technology, we dissected the small RNAome of pooled human mature MII oocytes and cumulus cells.

Bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes in vitro-cultured for 6 h using adenosine. The effect of FSH was compared with control as non-treated cumulus-oocyte complexes. After culture, COC were were washed and cumulus cells were used for microarray analysis

Project description:Cumulus cells, surrounding the oocyte, play a key role in the acquisition of oocyte competence to be fertilized and to sustain early embryo development. Cumulus cells contribute to oocyte development by metabolizing energy substrates such as glutathione that may protect the oocyte from oxidative stress damages. The aim of our study was to compare transcriptomics profiles of cumulus enclosed (CEO) and cumulus denuded (CDO) oocytes after in vitro maturation.

Our objective was to characterize the effect of FSH/EGF and GDF9 treatments on mouse cumulus cells expression profile by microarray analysis. Cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were recovered from 21 to 26 day old female 129/SV mice, 44 hours post equine chorionic gonadotropin treatment (eCG (5 IU)). For the microarray experiment whole COCs were treated with 293H control medium (0.125% v/v), with 20 ng/ml GDF9 or with a combination of 50 mIU/ml FSH and 10 ng/ml EGF. After 8 hours of in vitro maturation, COCs were denuded by gentle pipetting, the oocytes were removed and the cumulus cells centrifuged and extracted RNA analysed by microarray.
