Summary

In vitro growth (IVG) techniques are advancing for mammalian oocytes, showing promise for developing immature oocytes from porcine and bovine follicles for potential embryo production.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Biology
  • Developmental Biology
  • Oocyte Biology

Background:

  • Mammalian ovaries contain numerous primordial follicles, a key source of oocytes for assisted reproductive technologies.
  • Existing in vitro culture systems successfully support rodent oocyte development, but adaptations for livestock are ongoing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state of technology for in vitro growth (IVG) of immature mammalian oocytes.
  • To compare culture systems used for rodent oocyte IVG and discuss their adaptation for porcine and bovine species.

Main Methods:

  • Comparison of established in vitro culture systems for rodent primordial and preantral follicle development.
  • Discussion of modifications needed to apply these systems to porcine and bovine oocyte IVG.

Main Results:

  • In vitro growth (IVG) enables porcine oocytes from preantral follicles to resume meiosis and reach Metaphase II.
  • Fertilization of IVG-developed porcine oocytes has not yet been achieved.

Conclusions:

  • Significant progress has been made in in vitro oocyte maturation for laboratory animals.
  • Further research is needed to optimize IVG techniques for livestock, particularly for achieving successful fertilization and embryo development.
