Oocyte-dependent activation of MTOR in cumulus cells controls the development and survival of cumulus-oocyte complexes

Abstract: Communication between oocytes and their companion somatic cells promotes the healthy development of ovarian follicles, which is crucial for producing oocytes that can be fertilized and are competent to support embryogenesis. However, how oocyte-derived signaling regulates these essential processes remains largely undefined. Here, we demonstrate that oocyte-derived paracrine factors, particularly GDF9 and GDF9-BMP15 heterodimer, promote the development and survival of cumulus-cell-oocyte complexes (COCs), partl… Show more

“…Ascorbic acid was also shown to improve blastocyst development of porcine hand-cloned embryos mainly through the antioxidant pathway 29 . Evidences showed that oocyte-derived BMP15 could regulate the proliferation, apoptosis 34 and extension 35 of cumulus cells to affect quality and subsequent development of oocytes 36 . In porcine, 100 ng/ml BMP15 added individually into in vitro maturation medium of COCs did not change nuclear maturation rate of oocytes but did activate M-phase-promoting factor (MPF) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signals in oocytes 35 .…”

“…It controls myriad life processes by linking extra- and intracellular cues from nutrients, stress, growth factors, and hormones, and its dysfunction is associated with an increasing number of pathological conditions, including cancer, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and neurodegeneration ( 12 14 ). In mouse ovarian follicles, the MTOR pathway is selectively activated in cumulus cells, the granulosa cells surrounding oocytes, before ovulation induction, and this specific activation is partially attributable to oocyte-suppressing expression of Ddit4l , a negative regulator of MTOR ( 15 ). This oocyte-enabled activation of MTOR is crucial for the development and survival of both cumulus cells and oocytes ( 15 ).…”

“…Sperms were collected from caudal epididymides of 10-week-old B6D2F1 male mice with normal fertility, and were capacitated for 1 hour at 37°C in an incubator infused with 5%O 2 , 5%CO 2 and 90%N 2 . In vitro fertilization (IVF) was then carried out as described previously [ 12 ] . The formation of 2-cell and blastocyst-stage embryos was assessed 24 hours and 96 hours after IVF.…”
