Fine selection of up-regulated genes during ovulation by in vivo induction of oocyte maturation and ovulation in zebrafish.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Two essential processes, oocyte maturation and ovulation, are independently induced, but proceed cooperatively as the final step in oogenesis before oocytes become fertilizable. Although these two processes are induced by the same maturation-inducing steroid, 17α, 20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (17, 20β-DHP), in zebrafish, it has been suggested that the receptor, and thus the signal transduction pathway is different for each process. Although much progress has been made in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the induction of oocyte maturation, the mechanisms for inducing ovulation remain under investigation. In the present study, in vivo induction techniques that permit the induction of oocyte maturation and ovulation in living zebrafish (in vivo</
