Abstract:
:Activation of bovine oocytes by experimental procedures that closely mimic normal fertilization and allow to obtain haploid oocytes is essential both for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and for nuclear transfer. Therefore, with the goal of producing haploid activated oocytes, this study evaluated whether bohemine, either alone or in combination with ionomycin, is able to activate young matured bovine oocytes. Furthermore, the effect of bohemine on the patterns of DNA synthesis after pronuclear formation as well as changes in histone H1 kinase and MAP kinase activities during the process of activation were studied. Our results with bohemine show that the specific inhibition of CDKs in metaphase II bovine oocytes induces parthenogenetic activation in a dose-dependent manner (25, 50, and 100 microM, respectively), either alone (3%, 30%, and 50%) or in combination with ionomycin (30%, 70%, and 87.5%). A single pronucleus and extrusion of the second polar body was observed (97%) when Ca(2+) influx was stimulated in the presence of bohemine, although pronuclear formation without polar body extrusion was observed when bohemine was used alone. Bohemine-activated oocytes started to synthesize DNA in the first hour (37%) after their removal from bohemine-supplemented medium (6-7 hr post-activation; hpa). A high synchrony in the S-phase was registered with more than 85% of parthenotes actively synthesizing DNA 8 hpa. By contrast, DNA synthesis was absent in oocytes cultured for 4, 6, and 8 hpa in the presence of bohemine and a low rate was observed by those cultured for 18 hr (30%) in bohemine-supplemented medium. This confirms the ability of the inhibitor to arrest the cell cycle in the G1/S boundary for at least 8 hr. A drop in histone H1 kinase activity was observed in bohemine-activated oocytes. The activity of MBP kinase decreased later than histone H1 kinase and even 4 hr after inomycin-bohemine treatment at least half of this activity was still detectable. Then, the MBP kinase activity decreased and the lowest level could be seen 6-8 hpa. In summary, our study shows that in vitro matured bovine oocytes can be successfully activated by a synthetic inhibitor of CDKs. This effect can be improved by combination with ionomycin. The targeting of CDKs in the way to activate bovine oocytes can be an approach to improve the efficiency of mammalian oocyte activation.
