| 1 | The cloning of Dmc1 cDNAs and a comparative study of its expression in different ploidy cyprinid fishes显示文摘Dmc1 (disrupted meiotic cDNA) is a functionally specific gene, which was firstly discovered in yeast and then found to encode a protein required for homologous chromosome synapsis during the process of meiosis. In this investigation, we cloned the partial cDNAs of Dmc1 of diploid red crucian carp, Japanese crucian carp, common carp, triploid crucian carp and allotetraploid hybrids by using a pair of degenerate primers based on the conservative sequence of amino acids of the DMC1 protein in yeast, mouse and human. The full length cDNAs were then obtained by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). Our data showed that the full length cDNAs of Dmc1 in the three diploid fishes are all 1375 bp long, while it is 1383 bp long in triploids and 1379 bp long in allotetraploids. And despite of the variation in length, all the cDNAs encode a protein of 342 amino acids. A high homology of 97.3% of the DMC1 protein can be drawn by comparing the amino acid sequences in the three diploids, which is also of 86%, 86% and 95% similarity to human, mouse and zebrafish, respectively. A comparative study of the expression pattern of Dmc1 was carried out by RT-PCR using specific primers against the same se-quences of coding regions in different ploidy cyprinid fishes, from which it was showed that Dmc1 was expressed only in gonads of these five kinds of fishes. The expression pattern of Dmc1 in both ovaries and testes from different ploidy fishes within breeding season was also studied by Real-time PCR, and the results showed that the expression of this gene was greatly different among the three different ploidy fishes, which was the highest of triploid and lowest of allotetraploids. The histological sections data showed matured gonads of both diploid red crucian carp and allotetraploids in breeding season, although the latter demonstrated a higher maturation, and no gonadal maturation could be observed in triploids. In conclusion, we suggest that Dmc1 is specifically expressed in the period of meiosis in all the ploidy cyprinid fishes and directly related with the development of gonad in a manner of ploidy-independent way. And further, the high expression of Dmc1 in female triploids might be associ-ated with abnormal meiosis and sterility. | TAO Min, LIU ShaoJun, LONG Yu, ZENG Chen, LIU JiFang, LIU LiangGuo, ZHANG Chun, DUAN Wei & LIU Yun Key Laboratory of Protein Chemistry and Developmental Biology of State Education Ministry of China, College of Life Sciences, Hunan Normal University, Changsha 410081, China | 2008 | Science China(Life Sciences)2008,51,1: | 13 |
| 2 | A strategy for generating rice apomixis by gene editing显示文摘Apomixis is an asexual reproduction way of plants that can produce clonal offspring through seeds.In this study,we introduced apomixis into rice(Oryza sativa)by mutating OsSPO11-1,OsREC8,OsOSD1,and OsMATL through a CRISPR/Cas9 system.The quadruple mutant showed a transformation from meiosis to mitosis and produced clonal diploid gametes.With mutated Osmatl,which gives rise to haploid induction in plants,the quadruple mutant is expected to be able to be produced apomictic diploid offspring.We named this quadruple mutant as AOP(Apomictic Offspring Producer)for its ability to produce apomictic offspring. | En Xie Yafei Li Ding Tang Yanli Lv Yi Shen Zhukuan Cheng | 2019 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2019,61,8: | 6 |
| 3 | Roles of MAP kinase signaling pathway in oocyte meiosis显示文摘Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is a family of Ser/Thr protein kinases expressed widely in eu-karyotic cells. MAPK is activated by a cascade of protein kinase phosphorylation and plays pivotal roles in regulating meiosis process in oocytes. As an important physical substrate of MAPK, p90rsk mediates numerous MAPK functions. MAPK was activated at G2/M transition during meiosis. Its activity reached the peak at M I stage and maintained at this level until the time before the pronuclear formation after fertilization. There is complex interplay between MAPK and MPF in the meiosis regulation. Furthermore, other intracel-lular signal transducers, such as cAMP, protein kinase C and protein phosphotase, ect., also regulated the activity of MAPK at different stages during meiosis in oocytes. In the present article, the roles of MAPK signaling pathway in oo-cyte meiosis are reviewed and discussed. | Hengyu Fan Chao Tong Dayuan Chen Qingyuan Sun | 2002 | Chinese Science Bulletin2002,47,14: | 5 |
| 4 | Role of ubiquitination in meiotic recombination repair显示文摘Programmed and unprogrammed double-strand breaks (DSBs) often arise from such physiological requirements as meiotic recombination, and exogenous insults, such as ionizing radiation (IR). Due to deleterious impacts on genome stability, DSBs must be appropriately processed and repaired in a regulatory manner. Recent investigations have indicated that ubiquitination is a critical factor in DNA damage response and meiotic recombination repair. This review summarizes the effects of proteins and complexes associated with ubiquitination with regard to homologous recombination (HR)-dependent DSB repair. | CUI Li & LI Wei State Key Laboratory of Reproductive Biology, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China | 2010 | Science China(Life Sciences)2010,53,4: | 4 |
| 5 | Cyclin Cyc2p is required for micronuclear bouquet formation in Tetrahymena thermophila显示文摘Meiotic bouquet formation(known as crescent formation in Tetrahymena thermophila) is indispensable for homologous pairing and recombination, but the regulatory mechanism of bouquet formation remains largely unknown. As a conjugation specific cyclin gene, CYC2 knockout mutants failed to form an elongated crescent structure and aborted meiosis progress in T. thermophila. γ-H2 A.X staining revealed fewer micronuclear DNA double-strand breaks(DSBs) in cyc2Δ cells than in wild-type cells. Furthermore, cyc2Δ cells still failed to form a crescent structure even though DSBs were induced by exogenous agents,indicating that a lack of DSBs was not completely responsible for failure to enter the crescent stage. Tubulin staining showed that impaired perinuclear microtubule structure may contribute to the blockage in micronuclear elongation. At the same time,expression of microtubule-associated kinesin genes, KIN11 and KIN141, was significantly downregulated in cyc2Δ cells.Moreover, micronuclear specific accumulation of heterochromatin marker trimethylated H3 K23 abnormally increased in the cyc2Δ mutants. Together, these results show that cyclin Cyc2 p is required for micronuclear bouquet formation via controlling microtubule-directed nuclear elongation in Tetrahymena. | Jing Xu Xiaoxiong Li Weibo Song Wei Wang Shan Gao | 2019 | Science China(Life Sciences)2019,62,5: | 4 |
| 6 | Gene expression dynamics during the gonocyte to spermatogonia transition and spermatogenesis in the domestic yak显示文摘Background:Spermatogenesis is a cellular differentiation process that includes three major events:mitosis of spermatogonia,meiosis of spermatocytes and spermiogenesis.Steady-state spermatogenesis relies on functions of spermatogonial stem cells(SSCs).Establishing and maintaining a foundational SSC pool is essential for continued spermatogenesis in mammals.Currently,our knowledge about SSC and spermatogenesis is severely limited in domestic animals.Results:In the present study,we examined transcriptomes of testes from domestic yaks at four different stages(3,5,8 and 24 months of age)and attempted to identify genes that are associated with key developmental events of spermatogenesis.Histological analyses showed that the most advanced germ cells within seminiferous tubules of testes from 3,5,8 and 24 months old yaks were gonocytes,spermatogonia,spermatocytes and elongated spermatids,respectively.RNA-sequencing(RNA-seq)analyses revealed that 11904,4381 and 2459 genes were differentially expressed during the gonocyte to spermatogonia transition,the mitosis to meiosis transition and the meiosis to post-meiosis transition.Further analyses identified a list of candidate genes than may regulate these important cellular processes.CXCR4,a previously identified SSC niche factor in mouse,was one of the up-regulated genes in the 5 months old yak testis.Results of immunohistochemical staining confirmed that CXCR4 was exclusively expressed in gonocytes and a subpopulation of spermatogonia in the yak testis.Conclusions:Together,these findings demonstrated histological changes of postnatal testis development in the domestic yak.During development of spermatogonial lineage,meiotic and haploid germ cells are supported by dynamic transcriptional regulation of gene expression.Our transcriptomic analyses provided a list of candidate genes that potentially play crucial roles in directing the establishment of SSC and spermatogenesis in yak. | Guowen Wang Yongchang Li Qilin Yang Shangrong Xu Shike Ma Rongge Yan Ruina Zhang Gongxue Jia Deqiang Ai Qi’en Yang | 2019 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2019,10,4: | 3 |
| 7 | Structural and expressional analysis of a cDNA that expresses predominantly in rice stamens显示文摘The development of stamen is an important stage during the sexual reproduction in higher plants. Studying the genes that predominantly or even specifically expressed in stamens will aid in understanding the molecular mechanism of stamen development. The structure of a rice CHS-like gene (D5) which predominantly expressed in anthers has been analysized, showing high structural similarity with two other anther-specific genes (A1 and BA42) from Brassica napus. Northern analysis also reveals that the three genes share a similar expression pattern and that the expression of D5 may relate to the early development of pollens. It is concluded that D5, A1 and BA42 represent a group of diverged CHS-like genes which are related to stamen development. | Yi Zhang Lijia Qu Meihua Liu Xiaoli Qin Hongya Gu Zhangliang Chen | 1998 | Chinese Science Bulletin1998,43,9: | 2 |
| 8 | Asynchronous meiosis in Cucumis hystrix–cucumber synthetic tetraploids resulting in low male fertility显示文摘Interspecific hybridization and allopolyploidization contribute to the improvement of many important crops. Recently, we successfully developed an amphidiploid from an interspecific cross between cucumber(Cucumis sativus, 2n = 2x = 14) and its relative C. hystrix(2n = 2x = 24) followed by chemical induction of chromosome doubling. The resulting allotetraploid plant was self-pollinated for three generations. The fertility and seed set of the amphidiploid plants were very low. In this study, we investigated the meiotic chromosome behavior in pollen mother cells with the aid of fluorescence in situ hybridization, aiming to identify the reasons for the low fertility and seed set in the amphidiploid plants. Homologous chromosome pairing appeared normal, but chromosome laggards were common, owing primarily to asynchronous meiosis of chromosomes from the two donor genomes. We suggest that asynchronous meiotic rhythm between the two parental genomes is the main reason for the low fertility and low seed set of the C. hystrix–cucumber amphidiploid plants. | Yonghua Han Junsong Pan Paradee Thammapichai Zongyun Li Yiqun Weng | 2016 | The Crop Journal2016,4,4: | 2 |
| 9 | OsMLH1 interacts with OsMLH3 to regulate synapsis and interference-sensitive crossover formation during meiosis in rice显示文摘Meiotic recombination is essential for reciprocal exchange of genetic information between homologous chromosomes and their subsequent proper segregation in sexually reproducing organisms. MLH1 and MLH3 belong to meiosis-specific members of the Mut L-homolog family, which are required for normal level of crossovers(COs) in some eukaryotes. However, their functions in plants need to be further elucidated.Here, we report the identification of Os MLH1 and reveal its functions during meiosis in rice. Using CRISPRCas9 approach, two independent mutants, Osmlh1-1 and Osmlh1-2, are generated and exhibited significantly reduced male fertility. In Osmlh1-1, the clearance of PAIR2 is delayed and partial ZEP1 proteins are not loaded into the chromosomes, which might be due to the deficient in resolution of interlocks at late zygotene. Thus, Os MLH1 is required for the assembly of synapsis complex. In Osmlh1-1, CO number is dropped by ~53% and the distribution of residual COs is consistent with predicted Poisson distribution,indicating that Os MLH1 is essential for the formation of interference-sensitive COs(class I COs). Os MLH1 interacts with Os MLH3 through their C-terminal domains. Mutation in Os MLH3 also affects the pollen fertility. Thus, our experiments reveal that the conserved heterodimer Mut Lg(Os MLH1-Os MLH3) is essential for the formation of class I COs in rice. | Xiaodong Xin Xingwang Li Junkai Zhu Xiaobin Liu Zhenghu Chu Jiali Shen Changyin Wu | 2021 | Journal of Genetics and Genomics2021,48,6: | 1 |
| 10 | Generation of developmentally competent oocytes and fertile mice from parthenogenetic embryonic stem cells显示文摘Parthenogenetic embryos,created by activation and diploidization of oocytes,arrest at mid-gestation for defective paternal imprints,which impair placental development.Also,viable offspring has not been obtained without genetic manipulation from parthenogenetic embryonic stem cells(pESCs)derived from parthenogenetic embryos,presumably attributable to their aberrant imprinting.We show that an unlimited number of oocytes can be derived from pESCs and produce healthy offspring.Moreover,normal expression of imprinted genes is found in the germ cells and the mice.pESCs exhibited imprinting consistent with exclusively maternal lineage,and higher X-chromosome activation compared to female ESCs derived from the same mouse genetic background.pESCs differentiated into primordial germ cell-like cells(PGCLCs)and formed oocytes following in vivo transplantation into kidney capsule that produced fertile pups and reconstituted ovarian endocrine function.The transcriptome and methylation of imprinted and X-linked genes in pESC-PGCLCs closely resembled those of in vivo produced PGCs,consistent with efficient reprogramming of methylation and genomic imprinting.These results demonstrate that amplification of germ cells through parthenogenesis faithfully maintains maternal imprinting,offering a promising route for deriving functional oocytes and having potential in rebuilding ovarian endocrine function. | Chenglei Tian Linlin Liu Ming Zeng Xiaoyan Sheng Dai Heng Lingling Wang Xiaoying Ye David L.Keefe Lin Liu | 2021 | Protein & Cell2021,12,12: | 1 |
| 11 | Germ cell sex prior to meiosis in the rainbow trout显示文摘Germ cells make two major decisions when they move from an indeterminate state to their final stage of gamete production.One decision is sexual commitment for sperm or egg production,and the other is to maintain mitotic division or entry into meiosis.It is unclear whether the two decisions are made as a single event or separate events,because there has been no evidence for the presence of germ cell sex prior to meiosis.Here we report direct evidence in the fish rainbow trout that gonia have distinct sexuality.We show that dazl expression occurs in both male and female gonia but exhibits differential intracellular distribution.More strikingly,we show that boule is highly expressed in male gonia but absent in female gonia.Therefore,mitotic gonia possess sex,sperm/egg decision and mitosis/meiosis decision are two independent events,and sperm/egg decision precedes mitosis/meiosis decision in rainbow trout,making this organism a unique vertebrate model for mechanistic understanding of germ cell sex differentiation and relationship between the two decisions. | Mingyou Li Qian Shen Foong Mei Wong Hongyan Xu Ni Hong Lingbing Zeng Lin Liu Qiwei Wei Yunhan Hong | 2011 | Protein & Cell2011,2,1: | 1 |
| 12 | MEIOTIC CHROMOSOME BEHAVIOR IN FEMALE INTERSEXES OF ARTIFICIAL TRIPLOID TRANSPARENT-COLORED CRUCIAN CARP显示文摘Chromosome behavior in meiosis was studied by ail-drying, C-banding and surface-spreading methods in female intersexes of artificial triploid transparent-colored crucian carp (Corassius auratus). Chromosome pairing and contraction were obviously asynchronous. The preferential pairing of two homologous chromosomes was the major pattern of chromosome pairing, and a few triple pairing, repeated pairing, telomere or centromere associating and multiple pairing were also observed in the pachytene cells. The metaphase I cells were main-ly composed of univalents, bivalents and trivalents, as well as a few of other multivalents, such as tetravalents, pentavalents, hexavalents and heptavalents, were also found in some metaphase I cells. The chromosome elements including uni-, bi-, tri- and other multivalents varied considerably among the metaphase I cells, and the associating patterns of multivalents were also diverse. Some 6 n and 12 n cells, in which premeiotic endomitosis occurred once or twice, were found | 桂建芳 梁绍昌 蒋一珪 | 1991 | Science China Chemistry1991,34,11: | 1 |
| 13 | The role of retinoic acid in the commitment to meiosis显示文摘Male meiosis is a complex process whereby spermatocytes undergo cell division to form haploid cells.This review focuses on the role of retinoic acid(RA)in meiosis,as well as several processes regulated by RA before cell entry into meiosis that are critical for proper meiotic entry and completion.Here,we discuss RA metabolism in the testis as well as the roles of stimulated by retinoic acid gene 8(STRA8)and MEIOSIN,which are responsive to RA and are critical for meiosis.We assert that transcriptional regulation in the spermatogonia is critical for successful meiosis. | Rachel L Gewiss M Christine Schleif Michael D Griswold | 2021 | Asian Journal of Andrology2021,23,6: | 1 |
| 14 | The molecular control of meiotic double-strand break (DSB) formation and its significance in human infertility显示文摘Meiosis is an essential step in gametogenesis which is the key process in sexually reproducing organisms as meiotic aberrations may result in infertility. In meiosis, programmed DNA double-strand break (DSB) formation is one of the fundamental processes that are essential for maintaining homolog interactions and correcting segregation of chromosomes. Although the number and distribution of meiotic DSBs are tightly regulated, still abnormalities in DSB formation are known to cause meiotic arrest and infertility. This review is a detailed account of molecular bases of meiotic DSB formation, its evolutionary conservation, and variations in different species. We further reviewed the mutations of DSB formation genes in association with human infertility and also proposed the future directions and strategies about the study of meiotic DSB formation. | Yang Li Yu-Fan Wu Han-Wei Jiang Ranjha Khan Qi-Qi Han Furhan Iqbal Xiao-Hua Jiang Qing-Hua Shi | 2021 | Asian Journal of Andrology2021,23,6: | 1 |
| 15 | The formation and repair of DNA double-strand breaks in mammalian meiosis显示文摘Programmed DNA double-strand breaks(DSBs)are necessary for meiosis in mammals.A sufficient number of DSBs ensure the normal pairing/synapsis of homologous chromosomes.Abnormal DSB repair undermines meiosis,leading to sterility in mammals.The DSBs that initiate recombination are repaired as crossovers and noncrossovers,and crossovers are required for correct chromosome separation.Thus,the placement,timing,and frequency of crossover formation must be tightly controlled.Importantly,mutations in many genes related to the formation and repair of DSB result in infertility in humans.These mutations cause nonobstructive azoospermia in men,premature ovarian insufficiency and ovarian dysgenesis in women.Here,we have illustrated the formation and repair of DSB in mammals,summarized major factors influencing the formation of DSB and the theories of crossover regulation. | Wei Qu Cong Liu Ya-Ting Xu Yu-Min Xu Meng-Cheng Luo | 2021 | Asian Journal of Andrology2021,23,6: | 1 |
| 16 | The organization,regulation,and biological functions of the synaptonemal complex显示文摘The synaptonemal complex(SC)is a meiosis-specific proteinaceous macromolecular structure that assembles between paired homologous chromosomes during meiosis in various eukaryotes.The SC has a highly conserved ultrastructure and plays critical roles in controlling multiple steps in meiotic recombination and crossover formation,ensuring accurate meiotic chromosome segregation.Recent studies in different organisms,facilitated by advances in super-resolution microscopy,have provided insights into the macromolecular structure of the SC,including the internal organization of the meiotic chromosome axis and SC central region,the regulatory pathways that control SC assembly and dynamics,and the biological functions exerted by the SC and its substructures.This review summarizes recent discoveries about how the SC is organized and regulated that help to explain the biological functions associated with this meiosis-specific structure. | Feng-Guo Zhang Rui-Rui Zhang Jin-Min Gao | 2021 | Asian Journal of Andrology2021,23,6: | 1 |
| 17 | DRP1 deficiency induces mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress-mediated apoptosis during porcine oocyte maturation显示文摘Background: Environmental pollution induces oxidative stress and apoptosis in mammalian oocytes, which can cause defects in reproduction;however, the molecular regulation of oxidative stress in oocytes is still largely unknown. In the present study, we identified that dynamin-related protein 1(DRP1) is an important molecule regulating oocyte mitochondrial function and preventing oxidative stress/apoptosis. DRP1 is a member of the dynamin GTPase superfamily localized at the mitochondrial-endoplasmic reticulum interaction site, where it regulates the fission of mitochondria and other related cellular processes.Results: Our results show that DRP1 was stably expressed during different stages of porcine oocyte meiosis, and might have a potential relationship with mitochondria as it exhibited similar localization. Loss of DRP1 activity caused failed porcine oocyte maturation and cumulus cell expansion, as well as defects in polar body extrusion.Further analysis indicated that a DRP1 deficiency caused mitochondrial dysfunction and induced oxidative stress,which was confirmed by increased reactive oxygen species levels. Moreover, the incidence of early apoptosis increased as detected by positive Annexin-V signaling.Conclusions: Taken together, our results indicate that DRP1 is essential for porcine oocyte maturation and that a DRP1 deficiency could induce mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. | Haolin Zhang Zhennan Pan Jiaqian Ju Chunhua Xing Xiaohan Li Mengmeng Shan Shaochen Sun | 2021 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2021,12,1: | 1 |
| 18 | A practical reference for studying meiosis in the model ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila显示文摘Meiosis is a critical cell division program that produces haploid gametes for sexual reproduction.Abnormalities in meiosis are often causes of infertility and birth defects(e.g.,Down syndrome).Most organisms use a highly specialized zipper-like protein complex,the synaptonemal complex(SC),to guide and stabilize pairing of homologous chromosomes in meiosis.Although the SC is critical for meiosis in many eukaryotes,there are organisms that perform meiosis without a functional SC.However,such SC-less meiosis is poorly characterized.To understand the features of SC-less meiosis and its adaptive significance,the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena was selected as a model.Meiosis research in Tetrahymena has revealed intriguing aspects of the regulatory programs utilized in its SC-less meiosis,yet additional efforts are needed for obtaining an in-depth comprehension of mechanisms that are associated with the absence of SC.Here,aiming at promoting a wider application of Tetrahymena for meiosis research,we introduce basic concepts and core techniques for studying meiosis in Tetrahymena and then suggest future directions for expanding the current Tetrahymena meiosis research toolbox.These methodologies could be adopted for dissecting meiosis in poorly characterized ciliates that might reveal novel features.Such data will hopefully provide insights into the function of the SC and the evolution of meiosis from a unique perspective. | Miao Tian Xia Cai Yujie Liu Mingmei Liucong Rachel Howard-Till | 2022 | Marine Life Science & Technology2022,4,4: | 1 |
| 19 | RBM46 is essential for gametogenesis and functions in post-transcriptional roles affecting meiotic cohesin subunits显示文摘RBM46 is a germ cell-specific RNA-binding protein required for gametogenesis,but the targets and molecular functions of RBM46 remain unknown.Here,we demonstrate that RBM46 binds at specific motifs in the 3'UTRs of mRNAs encoding multiple meiotic cohesin subunits and show that RBM46 is required for normal synaptonemal complex formation during meiosis initiation.Using a recently reported,high-resolution technique known as LACE-seq and working with low-input cells,we profiled the targets of RBM46 at single-nucleotide resolution in leptotene and zygotene stage gametes.We found that RBM46 preferentially binds target mRNAs containing GCCUAU/GUUCGA motifs in their 3'UTRs regions.In Rbm46 knockout mice,the RBM46-target cohesin subunits displayed unaltered mRNA levels but had reduced translation,resulting in the failed assembly of axial elements,synapsis disruption,and meiotic arrest.Our study thus provides mechanistic insights into the molecular functions of RBM46 in gametogenesis and illustrates the power of LACE-seq for investigations of RNA-binding protein functions when working with low-abundance input materials. | Yue Lv Gang Lu Yuling Cai Ruibao Su Liang Liang Xin Wang Wenyu Mu Xiuqing He Tao Huang Jinlong Ma Yueran Zhao Zi-Jiang Chen Yuanchao Xue Hongbin Liu Wai-Yee Chan | 2023 | Protein & Cell2023,14,1: | 0 |
| 20 | Antioxidant procyanidin B2 protects oocytes against cryoinjuries via mitochondria regulated cortical tension显示文摘Background:Irreversible cryodamage caused by oocyte vitrification limited its wild application in female fertility preservation.Antioxidants were always used to antagonist the oxidative stress caused by vitrification.However,the comprehensive mechanism underlying the protective role of antioxidants has not been studied.Procyanidin B2(PCB2)is a potent natural antioxidant and its functions in response to vitrification are still unknown.In this study,the effects of PCB2 on vitrified-thawed oocytes and subsequent embryo development were explored,and the mechanisms underlying the protective role of PCB2 were systematically elucidated.Results:Vitrification induced a marked decline in oocyte quality,while PCB2 could improve oocyte viability and further development after parthenogenetic activation.A subsequent study indicated that PCB2 effectively attenuated vitrification-induced oxidative stress,rescued mitochondrial dysfunction,and improved cell viability.Moreover,PCB2 also acts as a cortical tension regulator apart from strong antioxidant properties.Increased cortical tension caused by PCB2 would maintain normal spindle morphology and promote migration,ensure correct meiosis progression and finally reduce the aneuploidy rate in vitrified oocytes.Further study reveals that ATP biosynthesis plays a crucial role in cortical tension regulation,and PCB2 effectively increased the cortical tension through the electron transfer chain pathway.Additionally,PCB2 would elevate the cortical tension in embryo cells at morula and blastocyst stages and further improve blastocyst quality.What's more,targeted metabolomics shows that PCB2 has a beneficial effect on blastocyst formation by mediating saccharides and amino acids metabolism.Conclusions:Antioxidant PCB2 exhibits multi-protective roles in response to vitrification stimuli through mitochondria-mediated cortical tension regulation. | Qingrui Zhuan Jun Li Xingzhu Du Luyao Zhang Lin Meng Yuwen Luo Dan Zhou Hongyu Liu Pengcheng Wan Yunpeng Hou Xiangwei Fu | 2023 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2023,14,1: | 0 |
