    Notizen: Abstract  The aim of the present study was to describe in detail the changes occurring in the cytoplasmic ultrastructure of the bovine oocyte from the onset of growth in the primordial follicle until the completion of growth in the tertiary follicle. Bovine oocytes from primordial, primary, secondary and early to mid-antral follicles were processed and analysed by light and transmission electron microscopy. The primordial follicular oocyte was characterized by numerous coated pits on the oolemma and the accumulation of free and organelle-related smooth (SER) and rough (RER) endoplasmic reticulum, round mitochondria and Golgi complexes around the nucleus, which was located slightly off centre. Up to the secondary follicular stage the oocyte displayed an increase in the number of microvilli, elongated mitochondria and Golgi complexes. During the secondary follicular stage, formation of the zona pellucida, development of gap junctions between the oocyte and the granulosa cells, formation of the cortical granules in the oocyte and reduction in the number of coated pits on the oolemma were seen. In the tertiary follicular oocyte up to 100 μm in diameter, the number of Golgi complexes and lipid droplets increased and the organelles were dislocated to the deep cortical region. During the final growth of the oocyte up to 〉120 μm, the organelles were dislocated further to the peripheral region, the extent of the free SER and RER compartments were reduced, the number of individual cortical granules increased, hooded mitochondria became abundant and the perivitelline space developed. In conclusion, the growth of the bovine oocyte is associated with the relocation and modulation of a number of cytoplasmic organelles as well as the development of oocyte specific structures such as the zona pellucida and cortical granules.

    Notizen: Bovine cumulus oocyte complexes were cultured for various periods and either denuded and orcein stained or radiolabeled with 35S-methionine or 32P-orthophosphate. Specific inhibitors were added to the culture medium to investigate mRNA and protein synthesis requirements for both nuclear and cytoplasmic changes during maturation in vitro. Inhibition of mRNA synthesis by α-amanitin during the first 2 h of culture prevented the phosphorylation of some specific proteins preceding GVBD and decreased the occurrence of GVBD from 97% to 27%. In addition, in oocytes that had undergone GVBD, only part of the changes in protein synthesis after GVBD were observed. Addition of α-amanitin after 3 h of culture had no effect on meiotic maturation. When cumulus oocyte complexes were cultured in the presence of cycloheximide, the phosphorylation of specific proteins was also blocked and only 5% of the oocytes underwent GVBD. Addition of cycloheximide after 4, 6, or 8 h of culture resulted in an increasing percentage of GVBD, but the oocytes became arrested in metaphase I. When cycloheximide was added from 12 h of culture onwards, nuclear progression to metaphase II was increasingly restored.It is concluded that after the onset of culture, both mRNA and protein synthesis are necessary for the phosphorylation of specific proteins and for GVBD. Further-more, transcription during the first hours of culture is needed for the synthesis of new proteins after GVBD.

    Notizen: The distribution of the intermediate filament (IF) proteins desmin, keratin, and vimentin was studied immunohistochemically in bovine ovaries. Special attention was paid to granulosa cells to examine possible marked changes of IF distribution in relation to folliculogenesis during ovarian development. Therefore, ovaries were used from fetuses from 3 months of gestation onward, calves, heifers, and cows. In all ovaries, desmin immunoreactivity was restricted to smooth muscle cells in blood vessel walls. Keratin appeared a characteristic of the ovarian surface epithelium. Co-localization of keratin and vimentin was observed in the epithelium of rete ovarii tubules in fetuses and calves, and in cortical cord epithelium and pregranulosa cells of primordial follicles in fetuses at 3-7 months of gestation. Vimentin was demonstrated in endothelium and in fibroblasts. In addition, vimentin immunoreactivity was present in granulosa cells of primary, secondary, and antral follicles. In antral follicles, these granulosa cells mainly had an elongated appearance and either contained an oblong or a round nucleus. Those with an oblong nucleus were characteristic for atretic antral follicles. In nonatretic follicles, numerous vimentin immunore-active, elongated granulosa cells with a round nucleus were observed, especially in the peripheral granulosa layer and in small (〈3 mm in diameter) antral follicles. Additionally, in antral follicles, protrusions of vimentin-positive corona radiata cells were observed, that penetrated the zona pellucida to contact the oocyte. The data show that the distribution of vimentin containing IFs is associated with various aspects of granulosa cell activity, as mitosis, atresia, and intercellular transport. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
