Abstract:
This study was designed to evaluate the effects of pretreatment with various forms of cAMP before or during bovine oocyte maturation on the acquisition of embryonic developmental competence. The objective of the 4 experiments was to induce differentiation of the early maturing oocyte in conditions of maintained meiotic arrest or normal maturation. To promote differentiation, different forms of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) pathways were investigated. The factors studied included follicular fluid, invasive adenylate cyclase (iAC), dibutyryl-cAMP (dbcAMP) and 3-isobutyl-1-methyl-xanthine (IBMX) with or without cycloheximide (CHX). High concentrations of iAC pretreatment were beneficial to the oocyte competence in BSA-iAC maturation while harmful in normal maturation. Also, after 2 to 3 h IBMX-iAC pretreatment, another 6 h of CHX treatment with or without iAC was harmful to the embryonic developmental competence of fertilized oocytes even though it did not have any effect on cleavage rate. Experiment 4 was to assess the role of cAMP in acquisition of oocyte developmental competence before meiotic resumption. Results supported that the intracellular cAMP concentration during the interval between oocyte isolation from the follicle and the beginning of in vitro maturation is critical for requiring optimal developmental competence.
