Abstract:
:Compact mouse morulae were decompacted in calcium-free medium and allowed to recompact in standard embryo culture medium. When the recompaction medium contained trifluoperazine (TFP)(0.05 mM), an inhibitor of the calcium-dependent protein calmodulin, the embryos failed to recompact. This effect could not be overcome by either db-cAMP (1.0 mM) or theophylline (0.75 mg/ml). When the recompaction medium contained less than standard calcium (0.085 or 0.17 mM) the embryos recompacted at a slower rate than in control medium (1.7 mM). The calcium ionophore A23187, at concentrations up to 1.5 X 10(-3) mM, had no significant stimulatory effect upon the recompaction rte of embryos in the reduced calcium medium. In addition, the calcium antagonist Verapamil (0.3 mM), which blocks calcium uptake by cells, significantly inhibited recompaction in standard culture medium. Large doses of diazepam inhibited recompaction only slightly in standard culture medium. Large doses of diazepam inhibited recompaction only slightly in standard culture medium. We conclude that calcium uptake into the cytoplasm is required for recompaction, but that cell surface calcium is also required and is rate-limiting under these experimental conditions.
