Activation regimens to prepare bovine oocytes for intracytoplasmic sperm injection

Abstract: Activation of bovine oocytes to produce a single haploid pronucleus in preparation for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has been investigated with various combinations of ionomycin and 6‐dimethylaminopurine (DMAP). Effects were evaluated by immunocytochemical staining, chromosomal analysis and assessment of development in vitro. Oocytes matured in vitro were exposed to: ionomycin alone (single or repeated treatments, Groups 1 and 2 respectively), ionomycin followed by DMAP (immediately or after a 3‐h de… Show more

“…Chemicals such as ethanol, ionomycin or calcium ionophore combined with or without CHX were not sufficient to induce parthenogenetic development in bovine oocytes [42,43]. Induction of diploidization by combining the calcium oscillation-inducing activators with cytochalasin or 6-DMAP was necessary to improve the 285 parthenogenetic development of bovine oocytes [24,44,45]. This may explain the complete failure or very low parthenogenetic developmental rate after different activation protocols in the present study.…”

“…Ionomycin + CHX [13]; Injected oocytes were first treated with ionomycin immediately after ICSI as described above, and followed by incubation in culture medium containing 10 µg/mL CHX for 5 h. (6) Ionomycin + 6-DMAP [24]; Injected oocytes were first treated with ionomycin immediately after ICSI as described above, and incubated in the TCM-199/FBS medium for 3 h. Next, the 150 oocytes were incubated in culture medium containing 1.9 mM 6-DMAP for an additional 3 h. The presence of the second polar body was recorded immediately before transferring the oocytes into culture medium (4 h after ICSI), except for the oocytes treated with ionomycin + CHX (5 h after ICSI when the oocytes were released from the CHX treatment) and ionomycin + 6-DMAP (3 h after ICSI when the oocytes were exposed to the 6-DMAP-containing medium). 155…”

“…During normal fertilization in mammalian species, sperm penetration into the oocyte triggers intracellular Ca 2+ oscillation followed by inactivation of the maturation promoting factor (MPF) composed of the catalytic subunit of cdc2p34 protein kinase and the regulatory subunit cyclin B1/B2 for about 2 hr [37]. Although artificial stimuli, such as Ca 2+ ionophore [19], ionomycin [23], ethanol [31], electric pulse [27] and strontium (SrCl 2 ) [21] can activate bovine oocytes by increasing intracellular Ca 2+ , the efficiency of artificial stimuli is limited [25,34]. Therefore, additional chemical agents, such as cycloheximide (CHX, protein phosphorylation inhibitor) [24] and 6-dimethylaminopurine (DMAP, protein synthesis inhibitor) [29,30], that prevent MPF re-accumulation by reducing cdc2 kinase activity [2] have also been applied.…”

“…Moreover, the adverse effect of freeze-drying was notable in the higher proportions of partially activated bovine oocytes after ICSI with FD versus control bull spermatozoa (Table 2). Such a re-arresting in the condensation stage has been reported to occur more frequently in bovine ICSI oocytes after weaker activation, single inonmycin treatment, compared to stronger activation as multiple ionomycin treatments or ionomycin plus 6-DMAP treatment [49,50]. Not only long-lasting but also highly frequent calcium oscillations may be required for the full activation of bovine ICSI oocytes.…”
