Project description:Differences between high- and low-potential COCs were examined by transcriptomic analysis of CC biopsies obtained from COCs of 2-6mm follicles from slaughterhouse ovaries before individual in vitro maturation, fertilization and culture until day 8 post-fertilization. Each COC was individually tracked and categorized based on his fate: embryo at blastocyst stage (CC-Blast) or embryo arrested at 2- to 8-cell stage (CC-2-8-cells). Average blastocyst rates were 27.7% for individual culture, and 31.2% for group control (not significantly different). Five cumulus biopsies per replicate were pooled for each fate. Three CC replicates underwent transcriptomic analysis using RNA microarray assay.

Three CC replicates underwent transcriptomic analysis using RNA microarray assay. Each cumulus cell sample is composed of 5 COC biopsies, 3 samples or biological replicates for each fate (CC-blast or CC-2-8-cells) were analysed by microarray. CC-2-8-cells condition was used as reference.

Project description:Cumulus cells surrounding the oocyte were sampled at the following stages: developmentally incompetent or poorly competent prophase I oocytes (NC1 oocytes), developmentally competent prophase I oocytes (C1 oocytes), and developmentally competent metaphase II oocytes (C2 oocytes). NC1 samples were collected from immature, unexpanded cumulus-oocytes complexes (COC) from prepubertal (3-week-old) mice, C1 samples from immature, unexpanded cumulus-oocytes complexes (COC) from adult (8-week-old) and C2 samples from mature, expanded COCs obtained from the oviduct from 8-week-old mice after standard superovulation protocol.

Project description:Cytoplasmic and nuclear maturation of oocytes as well as interaction with the surrounding cumulus cells are important features relevant to the acquisition of developmental competence. We used brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) to distinguish oocytes with low activity of the enzyme Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase, and thus separated fully grown (BCB+) oocytes from those in the growing phase (BCB-). The BCB+ oocytes are twice as likely to produce a blastocyst in vitro compared to BCB- oocytes (P<0.01). We analyzed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number in single oocytes and determined that BCB- oocytes have 1.3-fold more copies than BCB+ oocytes (P=0.004). We also interrogated the transcriptome of oocytes and surrounding cumulus cells of BCB+ versus BCB- oocytes. There was no differential transcript abundance of genes expressed in oocytes, but we identified 172 genes in cumulus cells with differential transcript abundance (FDR<0.05) based on the BCB staining of their oocyte. Differential gene co-expression analysis between BCB+ and BCB- oocytes and their surrounding cumulus cells revealed dynamic coordination of transcript abundance between both compartments of the cumulus-oocyte complex. We identified a subset of genes whose co-expression in fully grown oocytes (n=75) and their surrounding cumulus cells (n=108) compose a unique profile of the cumulus-oocyte complex. In conclusion, as oocytes transition from growing to fully grown, there is an increase in the likelihood of producing a blastocyst, a reduction of mtDNA copies and no systematic variation of transcript abundance. Cumulus cells present changes in transcript abundance, which reflects in a dynamic co-expression between oocyte and cumulus cells.

NC1 samples were collected from immature, unexpanded cumulus-oocytes complexes (COC) from prepubertal (3-week-old) mice, C1 samples from immature, unexpanded cumulus-oocytes complexes (COC) from adult (8-week-old) and C2 samples from mature, expanded COCs obtained from the oviduct from 8-week-old mice after standard superovulation protocol. Global transcriptional profiling was performed using cumulus cells collected from murine ovarian follicles during in vivo oocyte developmental competence acquisition. Cumulus cells were collected at 3 stages: early stage follicles (prophase I arrested oocytes, meiotically competent but developmentally incompetent, n=5), late stage follicles (prophase I arrested oocytes, meiotically competent and developmentally competent, n=5) and ovulatory follicles collected in vivo (metaphase II arrested oocytes, developmentally fully competent, n=5).

Project description:Nanoplastics (NPs), plastic particles smaller than 1 μm, have gained increasing attention due to their potential health effects. Experimental studies in animals have shown that NPs can pass biological barriers, reach the female reproductive tract, and enter the ovary. Their presence in the ovary might have profound consequences for reproductive endpoints, such as oocyte development. This study aimed to investigate the uptake and associated effects of polystyrene (PS) NPs on oocyte and embryo development using a bovine in vitro fertilization (IVF) model. Bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were exposed to pristine PS-NPs (50 nm or 200 nm) at different doses during in vitro maturation (23 hours), followed by IVF and embryo culture. RNA sequencing was performed to investigate mechanisms involved in possible effects on oocyte maturation. Confocal microscopy confirmed the internalization of 50 nm and 200 nm PS-NPs into cumulus cells, however, only 50 nm particles were able to transfer into oocytes. Additionally, exposure to 50 nm PS-NPs at 3 μg/mL significantly delayed oocyte nuclear maturation and early embryo development. At this dose, RNA sequencing did not identify differentially expressed genes in the COCs, however, gene set enrichment analyses did indicate effects on mitochondrial processes. Nevertheless, subsequent analysis on mitochondrial activity remained unaffected.

Project description:Cumulus cells provide an interesting biological material to perform analyses to understand the molecular clues determining oocyte competence. The objective of this study was to analyze the transcriptional differences between cumulus cells from oocytes exhibiting different developmental potentials following individual in vitro embryo production by RNA‐seq. Cumulus cells were allocated into three groups according to the developmental potential of the oocyte following fertilization: (1) oocytes developing to blastocysts (Bl+), (2) oocytes cleaving but arresting development before the blastocyst stage (Bl-), and (3) oocytes not cleaving (Cl-).

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. 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.

Project description:Gene expression analysis in cc from COCs with different chromatin configuration (GV0-3) Bovine cumulus cells (4 biological replicates) were collected and grouped according to the oocyte different chromatin configuration of the germinal vesicle described by Lodde et al. 2007. Four GV stages corresponding to the state of chromatin condensation were used (GV0; GV1; GV2 and GV3). Multiple microarray comparisons were performed. First a reference design (GV0 as a reference) was used for a total of three comparisons (GV0 vs GV1; GV0 vs GV2 and GV0 vs GV3) .
