- W4248561618 abstract "The present study was undertaken to explore the regulatory mechanisms for meiotic resumption of pig cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) by assessing the nuclear status of oocytes, the degree of gap junction cell-to-cell communication and cumulus expansion after culture of various numbers of COCs in 10 microl droplets of medium for 24 h. Gap junction communication was examined by confocal laser scanning microscopy after injection of a fluorescent dye, lucifer yellow, into the oocytes. When one, three or six COCs were cultured in a 10 microl droplet, germinal vesicle breakdown was observed in > 70% of oocytes; increasing the number of COCs in a droplet further actually decreased the proportion of oocytes undergoing germinal vesicle breakdown (10 COCs: 49%; 20 COCs: 21%; 40 COCs: 13%). When six COCs were cultured in a 10 microl droplet of conditioned medium (prepared previously by culturing 20 intact and oocytectomized COCs for 24 h), the proportion of oocytes undergoing germinal vesicle breakdown was significantly reduced compared with the proportion in fresh medium. An increase in the proportion of category 1 COCs (all gap junctions within cumulus cells and between cumulus cells and oocyte are functionally maintained) was achieved by increasing the number of COCs cultured in a 10 microl droplet. The addition of conditioned medium to the fresh medium at a concentration of 50% significantly inhibited cumulus expansion. From these results, it is concluded that the factors secreted by cumulus cells regulate the disruption of gap junctions and cumulus expansion, and concurrently control the incidence of germinal vesicle breakdown in pig COCs." @default.
