The object of this study was to investigate the role of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and IGF-I in the regulation of preantral follicular growth, antrum formation, and granulosal cell proliferation/ apoptosis. Porcine preantral follicles were manually dissected and cultured for up to 8 d in Waymouth's (Exp. 1) or alpha-minimum Eagle's essential medium (Exp. 2 and 3) supplemented with 10 microg/mL of transferrin, 100 microg/mL of L-ascorbic acid, and 2 mU/mL of ovine FSH, in the presence (Exp. 1 and 3) or absence (Exp. 2) of 7.5% fetal calf serum. According to the experimental protocol, IGF-I (0, 1, 10, or 100 ng/mL; Exp. 1), or IGF-I (50 ng/mL), EGF (10 ng/mL) and EGF+IGF-I (Exp. 2 and 3) were added to the culture media. In Exp. 1, follicles exhibited a concentration-dependent response (P < 0.05) to IGF-I, with the highest rates of granulosal cell proliferation, follicular integrity, and recovery rate of cumulus cell-oocyte complexes and lowest incidence of apoptosis occurring at the highest IGF-I dose. In Exp. 2 serum-free medium, granulosal cell proliferation was low (1 to 5%), irrespective of whether EGF and/or IGF-I were present and cellular apoptosis was increased (P < 0.05) on d 4 and 8 in the EGF+IGF-I group compared with the addition of either factor alone. In Exp. 3, granulosal cell proliferation was high in all follicles cultured in serum-containing medium for the first 3 d, but fell sharply (P < 0.05) on d 4, except in media containing IGF-I. Collectively, EGF and IGF-I increased granulosal cell proliferation, decreased apoptosis, and promoted follicular antrum formation. These results may provide useful information for developing a preantral follicular culture system in which the oocytes are capable of fertilization and embryonic development.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of various growth factors such as the epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) either individually or in association, in the presence of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) on the in vitro growth and viability of caprine oocytes at pre-antral stage. Pre-antral follicles were disassociated enzymatically and mechanically from pre-pubertal caprine ovaries after the animals were anaesthetically ovariectomized. Caprine pre-antral follicles in group 1, 2, 3 and 4 were cultured in growth culture medium, growth culture medium + EGF, growth culture medium + IGF-I and growth culture medium + IGF-I + EGF, respectively, for 9 days. The results indicated that EGF (50 mg/l) increased the survival rate of oocytes, but decreased the growth rate of oocytes; IGF-I (100 mg/l) effectively maintained the survival of oocytes and stimulated their growth; IGF-I (100 mg/l) and EGF (50 mg/l) in combination produced a higher effect on both the survival and the growth rate of oocytes than IGF-I or EGF alone. Conclusively, the growth factors can effectively maintain the survival of caprine oocytes from pre-antral follicles and regulate their growth in culture. EGF and IGF-I in association could synergically meliorate the culture system of caprine pre-antral follicles.  相似文献

We investigated the effect of the leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) alone or in association with FSH on the in vitro culture (IVC) of caprine preantral follicles. Preantral follicles >200 μm in size were isolated and cultured for 18 days in basic medium either alone (control) or supplemented with LIF (10 or 50 ng/ml) in the absence or presence of FSH. Every 6 days, follicular survival, growth and antrum formation were evaluated. At the end of the culture period, the oocytes underwent in vitro maturation (IVM), and their viability and chromatin configuration were assessed. Follicles of the control group and those cultured in 10 ng/ml LIF maintained the structural integrity (particularly the preservation of the basement membrane) when compared to the oocytes cultured in 50 ng/ml LIF, regardless the presence of FSH. In the absence of FSH, the percentage of antrum formation after 18 days of culture in the 50 ng/ml LIF group was significantly lower than in either the control group or the 10 ng/ml LIF group. However, this effect was not observed in the presence of FSH. The rate of resumption of meiosis was significantly higher in the 50 ng/ml LIF group in the absence of FSH in comparison with the control and 10 ng/ml LIF groups. Metaphase II was observed only when follicles were cultured in a combination of FSH and 50 ng/ml LIF. In conclusion, LIF alone does not interfere with antral formation and oocyte growth, but at concentration of 50 ng/ml and combined with FSH, it promotes oocyte maturation.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of fibroblast growth factor-10 (FGF-10) on the survival, activation (transition from primordial to primary follicles), and growth of goat preantral follicles cultured in vitro. Pieces of ovarian cortex were cultured for 1 and 7 d in the absence or presence of FGF-10 (0, 1, 10, 50, 100, and 200 ng/mL). Noncultured and cultured tissues were processed and analyzed by histology, transmission electron microscopy, and viability testing. Results showed that after 7 d, a greater percentage (79.9%) of morphologically normal follicles (containing an oocyte with regular shape and uniform cytoplasm, and organized layers of granulosa cells without a pyknotic nucleus) was observed when cultured with 50 ng/mL of FGF-10 when compared with other concentrations of FGF-10 (0 ng/mL, 67.3%; 1 ng/mL, 68.2%; 10 ng/mL, 63.3%; 100 ng/mL, 64.4%; 200 ng/mL, 52.7%). Ultrastructural analyses and viability testing using fluorescent markers confirmed the follicular integrity of FGF-10 (50 ng/mL)-treated fragments after 7 d of culture. After 7 d, all FGF-10 concentrations reduced the percentage of primordial follicles and increased the percentage of developing follicles. In the presence of 50 ng/mL of FGF-10, follicles increased in diameter after 7 d of culture when compared with other concentrations tested. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that FGF-10 maintains the morphological integrity of goat preantral follicles and stimulates the growth of activated follicles in culture. The culture conditions identified here contribute to the understanding of the factors involved in goat early follicular development.  相似文献

There has been no culture system that supports the growth of bovine oocytes for more than 2 weeks. In the present study, bovine secondary follicles were cultured for 4 weeks, and the effects of supplemented protein components and FSH in the culture medium on the growth of the oocytes were examined. The effect of vitrification of secondary follicles on the subsequent oocyte growth was also examined. Secondary follicles (150 to 200 μm in diameter) containing growing oocytes (approximately 60 μm in diameter) were dissected from ovaries and cultured in a medium supplemented with FSH (0, 25 or 50 ng/ml) and one of the following four kinds of protein components: bovine serum albumin (BSA), bovine plasma (BPL), fetal calf serum (FCS) and bovine follicular fluid (BFF). In BSA- and BPL-supplemented media with 0 or 25 ng/ml FSH, more than 50% of follicles showed no degenerative signs during culture, and oocytes significantly increased in size after 4 weeks (P<0.05). Higher percentages of granulosa cell-enclosed oocytes were recovered from the follicles cultured in BPL-supplemented media with 0 and 25 ng/ml FSH, and the oocytes grew to 90 μm or more in diameter. In FCS- and BFF-supplemented media, FSH increased the numbers of degenerating follicles. Next, vitrified-warmed secondary follicles were cultured in BPL-supplemented medium. One third of the follicles showed no degenerative signs, and the oocytes increased in diameter to 88.8 ± 3.1 μm after 4 weeks of culture. These results suggest that a BPL-supplemented medium supports oocyte growth in bovine secondary follicles for 4 weeks, even after vitrification and warming of the follicles.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to examine whether high concentrations of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and/or insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) would have a beneficial effect on bovine embryo development in vitro and to obtain normal calves by using an ovum pick up method and embryo culture in a chemically defined medium. When compared with controls, EGF (100 or 200 ng/ml) or IGF-I (50 or 100 ng/ml) significantly increased the rate of embryos that developed into blastocysts during an 8-day culture after the in vitro fertilization of oocytes obtained from ovaries from a slaughterhouse. IGF-I induced a dose-dependent increase in cell number in both the inner cell mass and the trophectoderm, whereas EGF stimulated proliferation only in the inner cell mass. A combination of EGF (100 ng/ml) and IGF-I (50 ng/ml) produced an additive effect, and embryos developed into blastocysts at a comparatively high rate (27.9%) compared with controls (12.0%). A similar rate of development was achieved using a combination of EGF and IGF-I in the culture of embryos following ovum pick up by ultrasound-guided transvaginal follicular aspiration and in vitro fertilization, and 5 blastocysts that developed after the culture were transferred into uteri; two embryos implanted, and normal calves were born. These results suggest that the combined use of EGF and IGF-I makes bovine embryo culture in a chemically defined medium a practical and useful procedure for producing blastocysts, and its application to embryo culture following ovum pick up and in vitro fertilization could be useful for producing normal calves.  相似文献

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) has been shown to have a positive effect during oocyte in vitro maturation in several species. This study was performed to establish the capacity of equine oocytes to undergo nuclear maturation in the presence of EGF and to localise its receptor in the equine ovary by immunohistochemical methods. Oocytes were obtained by aspiration and subsequent scraping from equine follicles (15-25 mm diameter) and cultured in 3 different treatment groups for 36 h: control Group (modified TCM 199 with 0.003% BSA), EGF Group (TCM-199 supplemented with 50 ng/ml EGF) and EMS Group (TCM 199 supplemented with 10% v/v oestrous mare serum). Each group was divided further into 3 treatments with tyrphostin A-47, a specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor, at 0, 10(-4) and 10(-6) mmol/l. Maturation was determined as the percentage of oocytes reaching metaphase II stage at the end of the culture period. Immunohistochemical detection of EGF-receptor (EGFR) was performed using a streptoavidin-biotin method. The recovery rate and oocyte retrieval were 84.6% (recovered oocytes/follicles aspirated) and 6.55 (oocytes/mare), respectively. Treatment with EGF significantly (P<0.05) increased the incidence of metaphase II stage compared with the control group (69.4 vs. 26.9% in controls, respectively). The specific-tyrosine kinase inhibitor A-47 was effective in suppressing EGF-effect on EGF-cultured oocytes; no significant differences were observed in EMS-supplemented oocytes when cultured with A-47. EGF-receptor was localised in follicles, with localisation being more prominent in the cumulus than in mural granulosa cells. This finding, together with the increase of oocyte nuclear maturation rate when using EGF in culture media and the inhibition of maturation by tyrphostin A-47, suggests a physiological role for EGF in the regulation of equine oocyte maturation. The results should help successful development of assisted reproductive technology in the horse.  相似文献

The study investigated the effects of epidermal growth factor(EGF) and insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-I),alone or together,on the in vitro maturation and cleavage of ovine oocytes,aimed to optimize the in vitro maturation conditions for ovine oocytes.The results showed that the maturation and cleavage rates were 71.2% and 45.5% respectively when the medium was supplemented with 50 ng/mL EGF alone,which was significantly higher than other EGF supplemented groups (0,10,20,30,and 40 ng/mL) (P<0.05).The highest maturation and cleavage rates were 72.9% and 45.7% when the EGF concentration reached 100 ng/mL.The maturation and cleavage rates were 70.7% and 58.5% with 40 ng/mL IGF-I supplemented,which were significantly higher than other treatments (0,10,20,60,80,and 100 ng/mL) (P<0.05).The lowest maturation and cleavage rates were 38.8% and 20.0% when the IGF-I concentration reached 100 ng/mL (P<0.05).When 50 ng/mL EGF and 40 ng/mL IGF-I were used concomitantly,the maturation and cleavage rates were 85.6% and 61.0% respectively,which were significantly higher than the treatments with EGF or IGF-I alone (P<0.05).  相似文献

Mammalian ovaries are endowed with a huge number of small oocytes in primordial follicles (primordial oocytes). The mechanism regulating initiation of oocyte growth and follicular development is not well understood. Several growth factors and cytokines are known to be involved in oocyte growth and follicular development. Herein, the involvement of KIT, a receptor tyrosine kinase, and its ligand, KIT ligand (KL), in the initiation of porcine oocyte growth was examined. At first, KIT expression was examined immunohistochemically in primordial oocytes from neonatal (10-20 days) and prepubertal (about 6 months) pigs. Similar expression of KIT was detected in all oocytes from both the neonatal and prepubertal pigs. Next, to examine the growth of primordial oocytes, ovarian tissues containing primordial oocytes were xenotransplanted into immunodeficient SCID mice. Primordial oocytes from the neonatal pigs grew with follicular development as described previously, whereas those from the prepubertal pigs did not initiate growth in the xenografts after 2 months. To stimulate the growth of primordial oocytes from the prepubertal pigs, they were cultured in a medium supplemented with KL (50 and 100 ng/ml) for 1 or 3 days before xenografting. After 2 months, however, the oocytes did not grow, and the primordial follicles did not develop, although a higher number of primordial oocytes survived in the KL-treated tissues. These results suggest that KIT-KL might not be associated with the growth initiation of porcine primordial oocytes, although they do enhance the survival of the oocytes.  相似文献

The present study aimed to analyze different methods of mechanical isolation of buffalo preantral follicles (Experiment I), in vitro culture of isolated follicles in different groups of culture medium over collagen gel matrix (Experiment II) and subsequent in vitro development and survival of isolated preantral follicles (PFs) (Experiment III). In Experiment I, ovarian cortical pieces were separated and PFs isolated by different mechanical methods. In Experiment II, isolated follicles were divided into three groups and cultured in TCM-199 having 10% FBS, 1% ITS, and 20 ng/ml EGF (Group A, control), addition of 0.5 μg/ml FSH (Group B) or FSH + 100 ng/ml IGF-I (Group C). Follicles were incubated at 38.5 °C in 5% CO2 with maximum humidity. In Experiment III, based on the outcome of Experiment I and II, PFs were cultured from those isolation method and treatment group, showing better growth and developmental pattern to analyze the impact of growth factors on in vitro growth of follicles in long term culture. It was found that micro-dissected PFs showed higher survival rate and growth after 15 days of culture compared to PFs isolated by other methods. Follicles cultured with FSH + IGF-1 on collagen gel matrix, showed significantly (P < 0.05) higher survival rate and mean diameter of follicles on day 15 of culture compared to control. In summary, it has been shown that isolation of follicles by micro-dissection has advantages over other methods, being relatively simple, inexpensive and less harmful to follicles. Micro-dissected buffalo PFs maintained the architecture, showed antrum formation in presence of FSH and IGF-I over the collagen gel matrix.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of melatonin and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) on the in vitro culture of goat preantral follicles. Ovarian fragments were cultured for 7 d in α-minimum essential medium (α-MEM+) containing melatonin (100, 250, 500, or 1,000 pM), FSH (50 ng/mL), or a combination of the 2 hormones and further analyzed by histology and transmission electron and fluorescent microscopy. The results showed that after 7 d of culture, tissues cultured in α-MEM+ alone or supplemented with FSH alone, melatonin (500 and 1,000 pM), or the combination of FSH and melatonin (1,000 pM) maintained percentages of normal preantral follicles similar to the fresh control. In contrast to the noncultured tissues, the percentage of developing follicles was increased under all culture conditions after 7 d (P < 0.05). The addition of 1,000 pM melatonin associated with FSH to the culture medium increased follicular and oocyte diameters compared with α-MEM+ alone after 7 d of culture (P < 0.05). Ultrastructural and fluorescent analyses confirmed the integrity of follicles cultured with 1,000 pM of melatonin plus FSH for 7 d. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the interaction between melatonin and FSH maintains ultrastructural integrity and stimulates further growth of cultured caprine preantral follicles.  相似文献

During oocyte growth and follicle development, oocytes closely communicate with cumulus cells. We examined the effects of oocyte-derived growth factors, growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15), on the growth and acquisition of meiotic competence of porcine oocytes collected from early antral follicles (1.2–1.5 mm). First, we confirmed that GDF9 and BMP15 mRNAs were expressed almost exclusively in the oocytes. Oocyte–cumulus cell complexes (OCCs) collected from early antral follicles were cultured in growth medium supplemented with 0–100 ng/ml of GDF9 or BMP15 for 5 days. GDF9 dose-dependently increased the OCC diameter, while BMP15 did not. GDF9 and BMP15 had no significant effects on oocyte growth (P > 0.05). When OCCs that had been cultured with 50 and 100 ng/ml BMP15 were subjected to a subsequent maturation culture, they expanded fully by gonadotropic stimulation and 49% and 61% of oocytes matured to metaphase II (MII), respectively. In contrast, GDF9 did not promote cumulus expansion, and < 10% of oocytes matured to MII. Based on the difference in cumulus expansion, we compared the expression of luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) and follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) mRNAs in cumulus cells. The level of LHCGR mRNA was increased in cumulus cells of the BMP15 group, although there were no significant differences in FSHR mRNA levels among the groups. These results suggest that GDF9 promotes the growth of OCCs and that BMP15 promotes LHCGR mRNA expression in cumulus cells during oocyte growth culture, which may contribute to cumulus expansion and oocyte maturation.  相似文献

Cysteine supplementation to in vitro maturation (IVM) media of bovine oocytes increases cellular glutathione production. Beneficial effects of growth factors for improving the rate of blastocyst development have been reported, but combined effects are unknown. This study was conducted to determine the additive effect of cysteine with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and/or insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) on embryo development. Bovine oocytes from slaughterhouse ovaries were matured in TCM-199 (control), with or without the addition of 0.6 mm cysteine (C) at 0 or 12 h of maturation. After in vitro fertilization, embryos were allocated to culture treatments containing synthetic oviductal fluid medium. Culture treatments included fetal calf serum (FCS, 4%) alone; IGF-I (100 ng/ml); EGF (10 ng/ml); and IGF-I + EGF (100 + 10 ng/ml). Although rates for blastocysts development were not different among treatments, an increased proportion of embryos attaining morula formation was achieved when cysteine was added to the maturation media (12 h C IGF-I + EGF, 41.4%; 0 h C EGF, 40.0%) as compared to control (FCS: 34.6%). When cysteine treatments were combined, percent cleavage was greater for IGF-I + EGF (70.8%) compared to FCS (61.2%). The abundance of mRNA from the apoptotic genes, Bax and Bcl-2, and the oxidative stress genes, copper (Cu)-zinc (Zn) superoxide dismutase (SOD) and manganese (Mn) SOD in embryos was assessed. No treatment effect was observed on the expression of these genes. In conclusion, supplementation of cysteine during IVM of oocytes, in conjunction with growth factors could effectively be used as a replacement for FCS.  相似文献

The present experiment was aimed to compare the effect of different protein supplementation sources, foetal calf serum (FCS), oestrous dromedary serum (EDS) and BSA, in experiment 1, and the effect of different concentrations of epidermal growth factor (EGF), in experiment 2, on in vitro nuclear maturation of the dromedary oocytes. Cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) were harvested from the ovaries collected from a local slaughterhouse by aspirating the visible follicles in PBS supplemented with 5% FCS. Pooled COCs were randomly distributed to 4‐well culture plates containing 500 μl of the maturation medium and cultured at 38.5°C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air for 32–36 h. The basic maturation medium consisted of TCM‐199 supplemented with 0.1 mg/ml L‐glutamine, 0.8 mg/ml sodium bicarbonate, 0.25 mg/ml pyruvate, 50 μg/ml gentamicin, 10 μg/ml bFSH, 10 μg/ml bLH and 1 μg/ml estradiol. In experiment 1, this medium was supplemented with 10% FCS, 10% EDS or 0.4% BSA, whereas in experiment 2, it was supplemented with 0.4% BSA and 0, 10, 20 or 50 ng/ml of EGF. The oocytes were fixed, stained with 1% aceto‐orcein stain and their nuclear status was evaluated. Oocytes were classified as germinal vesicle, diakinesis, metaphase‐I, anaphase‐I (A‐I), metaphase‐II (M‐II) and those with degenerated, fragmented, scattered, activated or without visible chromatin as others. There was no difference (p > 0.05) observed in the proportion of oocytes reaching M‐II stage between the media supplemented with FCS (71.5 ± 4.8), EDS (72.8 ± 2.9) and BSA (72.7 ± 6.2). In experiment 2, a higher proportion (p < 0.05) of oocytes reached M‐II stage when the medium was supplemented with 20 ng/ml of EGF (81.4 ± 3.2) when compared with the media supplemented with 10 ng/ml (66.9 ± 4.1) and control (67.2 ± 7.1) groups. It may be concluded that the maturation media for dromedary camel oocytes can be supplemented with any of the three protein sources, i.e. FCS, EDS and BSA without any significant differences on the maturation rates. Also, a supplementation of 20 ng/ml of EGF in the maturation medium seems to be optimal and improves the nuclear maturation of dromedary camel oocytes.  相似文献

This study evaluates the effects of ascorbic acid and its interaction with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) on the morphology, activation, and in vitro growth of caprine preantral follicles. Ovarian fragments were cultured for 1, 7, or 14 d in minimum essential medium (MEM) containing ascorbic acid (50 or 100 μg/mL), FSH (50 ng/mL), or both of these substances. Ovarian tissue that was either fresh (control) or cultured for 1, 7, or 14 d was processed for histological and ultrastructural evaluation. The results showed that after 14 d of culture, medium supplemented with 50 μg/mL of ascorbic acid alone or combined with FSH showed higher rates of follicular survival compared with MEM. After 7 d of culture, FSH, ascorbic acid at 50 μg/mL with or without FSH, and ascorbic acid at 100 μg/mL increased the percentage of follicular activation compared to fresh control. In addition, FSH alone significantly increased the percentage of growing follicles after 14 d. The combination of 50 μg/mL of ascorbic acid and FSH promoted a significant increase in oocyte and follicular diameter after 7 d of culture. Ultrastructural and fluorescent analysis confirmed the integrity of follicles cultured with 50 μg/mL of ascorbic acid and FSH after 14 d. In conclusion, the combination of 50 μg/mL of ascorbic acid and FSH maintained follicular integrity and promoted follicular activation and growth after long-term in vitro culture of caprine preantral follicles.  相似文献

This study was undertaken to examine pre- and postimplantation developmental potency of cryopreserved embryos that had undergone in vitro growth (IVG), maturation (IVM) and fertilization (IVF) of oocytes from the preantral follicle stage. An oocyte culture system for IVG and IVM was used in oocyte-granulosa cell complexes (OGCs) derived from preantral follicles in 12-day-old mice. The rate of oocyte maturation was improved by the addition of gonadotropins (FSH/LH) and cytokines (IGF-I/SCF) to culture medium for IVG. During culture for IVG, estradiol-17β and progesterone concentrations increased progressively to the latter period of culture. This culture system enabled IVG, IVM, IVF and pre- and postimplantation development. From 90 cryopreserved 2-cell stage embryos transferred into recipients after warming, 10 live pups were produced. Cryopreservation of embryos by vitrification at the 2-cell stage showed no harmful effect on development to the blastocyst stage or on the cell numbers of the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE). This study demonstrated that embryos derived from oocytes grown in vitro have tolerance for vitrification and competence to develop to term after warming. This IVG-IVM-IVF technology combined with embryo cryopreservation might be useful for assisted reproduction in mice.  相似文献

生长因子对山羊无腔卵泡卵母细胞体外生长的影响   总被引：10，自引：0，他引：10  
山羊无腔卵泡卵母细胞在胰岛素样生长因子I（IGF－I）和表皮生长因子（EGF）及碱性成纤维细胞生长因子（bFGF)单独或联合存在时，与FSH－道体外培养9d，结果表明，IGF－I（100ng/mL)能有效地维持卵泡卵母细胞的存活并促进其生长，存活率达75.00％，相对生长率达45.06％；EGF（50ng/mL)能提高卵泡卵母细胞的体外存活率，类似于IGF－I，但对其生长相对表现出抑制影响；bFGF(50ng/mL)对卵泡卵母细胞的体外存活具有促进作用，但对卵母细胞生长的促进作用不明显（卵母细胞的存活率为76.92%,相对生长率为31.55％）。IGF－I（100ng/mL)和EGF（50ng/mL)联合存在时，不论是对卵泡卵母细胞的存活，还是对生长均产生了最好的效果，卵母细胞存活率达到90.91％，相对生长达48.24％。本试验结果一个共同点是在FSH存在的情况下，这3种生长因子单独或有选择的联合，对山羊卵泡卵母细胞的体外存活能力均具有正向调节作用。  相似文献

The aims of this study were to characterize EGF protein expression in ovine ovaries and to verify the effect of EGF on the in vitro development of isolated pre‐antral follicles. After collection, ovarian tissue was fixed for immunohistochemical analysis. Additional pairs of ovaries were collected, and secondary follicles were cultured for 18 days in α‐MEM+ (control) alone or supplemented with EGF (1, 10 or 50 ng/ml). The immunostaining for EGF was observed in oocytes from pre‐antral and antral follicles, in granulosa cells of primary and secondary follicles, as well as in cumulus and mural cells of antral follicles. After 18 days, the results showed that treatment with 50 ng/ml EGF significantly increased the percentage of morphologically normal follicles compared with the control group (α‐MEM+) and significantly reduced the precocious extrusion of oocytes and increased the percentage of antral follicles compared with the control and 1 ng/ml EGF. All the treatments induced a progressive and significant increase of the follicular diameter throughout the period of culture. However, there were no significant differences in follicular diameter or in the daily growth rate among treatments. In conclusion, this study demonstrated the presence of EGF in ovine ovaries. Moreover, 50 ng/ml EGF increased the percentage of normal follicles and improved antrum formation in isolated ovine follicles after 18 days of in vitro culture.  相似文献

Two groups of mouse preantral follicles with diameters of 125-150 and 151-175 microm were cultured individually for 6 days in a medium supplemented with FSH and fetal calf serum to determine their in vitro growth characteristics. Their oocyte capacity for maturation and development to the blastocyst stage following in vitro fertilization was also assessed. Antral formation rate at the end of culture was higher in the follicles of 151-175 microm (89%) than 125-150 microm (76%). The timing of antrum formation was different between the two follicle categories: most 151-175 microm follicles formed antra earlier than 125-150 microm follicles (days 4 and 5 vs. 5 and 6). However, follicle diameters at the time of antrum formation were the same regardless of the initial size and the culture period. Maturation rates of the oocytes derived from both categories of in vitro grown follicles (70 and 62%) were not different from those of oocytes from in vivo grown follicles (74%). The in vitro derived oocytes, however, showed less cleavage (30 and 35%) than the in vivo derived oocytes (89%). Although the oocytes from both follicle categories developed to the morula stage after in vitro fertilization, blastocysts were only obtained from oocytes derived from the 151-175 microm category. These results demonstrate that an individual follicle culture system using a medium with FSH and fetal calf serum supports in vitro growth of mouse preantral follicles with diameters of 151-175 microm to the preovulatory stage, and that their oocytes have the capability to develop to the blastocyst stage.  相似文献
