- 发展生物学 发展生物学
- 分子生物学分子生物学
背景情况:
- 牛的高胚胎死亡率 (体内10-40%,体外60-70%) 与胚胎活力基因表达的减少,DNA修复的抑制和DNA损伤的增加有关.
- 纤维细胞生长因子18 (FGF18),在卵泡颗粒细胞中发现,已知会增加细胞亡和DNA损伤,促使研究其对卵细胞和早期胚胎死亡的影响.
研究的目的:
- 调查FGF18对累积膨胀,卵细胞成熟和牛胚胎早期发育 (分裂至胚芽细胞阶段) 的影响.
主要方法:
- 一个传统的牛体胚胎生产系统使用来自屠宰场的卵巢.
- 在体外成熟和/或胚胎培养过程中添加了FGF18.
- 评估了累积膨胀,核成熟,分裂率,胚胎细胞发育,DNA损伤 (酸化组合素H2AFX焦点) 和mRNA表达 (PTGS2,IFNT2).
主要成果:
- 在体外成熟过程中添加FGF18并没有影响FSH诱导的累积膨胀或核成熟率.
- 虽然裂变率没有受到影响,但FGF18显著抑制了胚胎细胞并扩大了胚胎细胞的发育,这表明胚胎发育延迟.
- 用FGF18培养的胚胎表现出更高水平的DNA损伤 (酸化组合素H2AFX焦点) 和在胚芽细胞中减少PTGS2和IFNT2mRNA的积累.
结论:
- FGF18通过损害DNA双链断裂修复,在牛早期胚胎死亡中发挥作用.

Teratogenicity
2.4K
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Cleavage and Blastulation
45.1K
After a large-single-celled zygote is produced via fertilization, the process of cleavage occurs while zygotes travel through the uterine tube. Cleavage is a mitotic cell division that does not result in growth. With each round of successive cell division, daughter cells get increasingly smaller.

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance
34.3K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...
