生殖生物学生殖生物学
分子生物学分子生物学

背景情况:

卵子生成依赖于卵子细胞和粒状细胞之间的基本交叉.
关键的信号分子c-KIT和生长差异化因子-9 (GDF-9) 调解了这种卵细胞-粒状细胞通信.
在卵细胞内对c-KIT和GDF-9的细胞内贩运途径尚不清楚.

研究的目的:

调查外囊复合体在c-KIT和GDF-9的卵细胞内贩运中的作用.
确定外囊复杂功能障碍对小鼠卵细胞发育和雌性生育能力的影响.

主要方法:

在小鼠中利用卵细胞特异性基因耗尽外囊组件 (EXOC1,EXOC3,EXOC7).
分析了卵子细胞的重新唤醒,囊的分解和颗粒状细胞的增殖.
研究了c-KIT和GDF-9在枯竭卵细胞中的细胞内定位.

主要成果:

外囊组件的耗尽,特别是EXOC1,导致卵细胞重新唤醒和囊分解受损.
在被耗尽的外囊组件的毛囊中抑制了花粉状细胞的增殖.
无论是c-KIT还是GDF-9,都在异常地保留在外囊枯竭卵细胞的细胞质中.
外囊复合体的功能障碍导致小鼠完全失去雌性生育能力.

结论:

外囊复合体对于c-KIT和GDF-9的适当的卵细胞内贩运至关重要.
破坏这种贩运途径严重影响卵细胞成熟和粒状细胞功能,导致不孕.
这些发现为了解控制卵细胞 - 粒细胞通信的分子机制提供了基础.

Oogenesis

Oogenesis

In human women, oogenesis produces one mature egg cell or ovum for every precursor cell that enters meiosis. This process differs in two unique ways from the equivalent procedure of spermatogenesis in males. First, meiotic divisions during oogenesis are asymmetric, meaning that a large oocyte (containing most of the cytoplasm) and minor polar body are produced as a result of meiosis I, and again following meiosis II. Since only oocytes will go on to form embryos if fertilized, this unequal...

In-vitro Mutagenesis

To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.
