Abstract:
AIMThe mechanisms of cytokines in regulating oocyte maturation is still little known. The present study attempt to investigate whether the protooncogene of c-erbB2, c-myb are involved in introducing of cytokines to regulate oocyte maturation.
METHODSThis research used mouse GV stage oocyte culture model in vitro and RT-PCR, Western blotting method to explore the effect of EGF, TNFalpha, ET-1 and NO on oocyte maturation; to analyze the c-erbB2 mRNA and c-myb mRNA expression and the phosphorylation of MAPK and cyclinB1 expression in oocytes affected by above cytokines.
RESULTSEGF(10 microg/L) stimulated meiosis of oocytes significantly, the level of c-erbB2 mRNA, c-myb mRNA were increased, and promoted the phosphorylation of MAPK and cyclinB1 expression; TNFalpha (1 microg/L) and ET-1 ((10(-1) mol/L) had the results to EGF. Low dose of SNP (10(-5)mol/L) had no effect on oocyte maturation, but could significantly reverse the suppression of dbcAMP on oocyte maturation.
CONCLUSIONc-erbB2 and c-myb were involved in introducing of cytokines to regulate oocyte maturation, might be the middle link in connection of the cytokines with MAPK and MPF in regulation oocyte maturation.
