Nitric Oxide Donor s‐Nitroso‐n‐Acetyl Penicillamine (SNAP) Alters Meiotic Spindle Morphogenesis in Xenopus Oocytes

Abstract: Nitric Oxide (NO) has been involved in both intra- and extra-cellular signaling pathways in a wide range of organisms, and can be detected in some reproductive tissues. Based upon previous results reporting that NO-donor SNAP (s-nitroso-n-acetyl penicillamine) promoted the release from the metaphase II-anaphase II block in amphibian eggs, the aim of the present study was to assess the influence of SNAP on the activation of the molecular mechanisms triggering meiotic resumption of Xenopus oocytes, analogous to … Show more

“…SNAP hindered the all-or-none response of MPF and MAPK pathways, especially in Xenopus oocytes; most oocytes exhibited partially active MPF and MAPK in the absence of any external signs of meiotic resumption [15]. Noticeably, SNAP altered meiotic spindle formation, therefore impairing proper genomic transmission [15]. This observation corroborates reports of mitosis inhibition through Tyrosine residue nitrosylation in plant models, and Alteration of cross walls orientation, presumably by impairing microtubules organization [16,17].…”

“…Under these conditions, SNAP lead heterogeneous response at the biochemical level with respect to the two pathways involved in meiotic resumption (MPF and MAPK). SNAP hindered the all-or-none response of MPF and MAPK pathways, especially in Xenopus oocytes; most oocytes exhibited partially active MPF and MAPK in the absence of any external signs of meiotic resumption [15]. Noticeably, SNAP altered meiotic spindle formation, therefore impairing proper genomic transmission [15].…”

“…Low levels of nitric donors were utilized for the antigen presentation experiments. At concentrations 20 fold higher than utilized for the antigen presentation experiments, SNAP may generate free radicals and alter cellular microtubule organization 24 . In dog models, high concentrations of SNAP led to free radical formation and resulted in myocardial damage after ischemic reperfusion 25 .…”

“…In the presence of NO, cell division is inhibited in both the SN-1 and SN-2 groups. This would suggest that NO may have direct effect on the ability of the cell to form a functional mitotic or meiotic spindles (Gelaude et al, 2015), may suppress actin mediated cytokinesis or enter cell division cycle (Phung et al, 2006; Pandey et al, 2010; Pandey and Chaube, 2015). These observations suggest that NO may more specifically affect cytoskeletal proteins that are associated with cell division.…”
