Abstract

This study was performed to investigate the effects of artificial stimulation on the increase of the oocyte activation, to evaluate the expression of cyclin B1 protein levels in enucleated mouse oocytes, and to investigate correlation between the oocyte activation and the cyclin B1 protein levels. The oocyte activation was induced by 7% ethanol (EtOH) or 10μg/ml Ca-ionophore with or without 10μg/ml cycloheximide (CH). The activation rate was significantly higher in both single (p<0.05) and combined (p<0.01) stimulated groups compared to control group. The cyclin B1 protein level was significantly reduced in both stimulated groups (p<0.05), except for EtOH+CH treatment group. The expression of cyclin B1 protein showed a higher negative correlation with activation rate in EtOH+CH (r=0.61, p<0.05) and Ca+CH (r=0.86, p<0.01) stimulation groups, but not in a both single stimulation groups. Taken together, it can be suggested that single (EtOH and Ca- ionophore) and combined (EtOH+CH and Ca+CH) stimulation increases the oocyte activation, especially combined stimulation, because it induces the degradation of cyclin B1 protein after artificial stimulation treatments in mouse oocytes.

본 연구는 쥐 난자에서 인위적 활성화 처리가 난자의 활성화, cyclin B1 단백질의 발현 및 난자의 활성화와 cyclin B1 단백질 발현간의 상관관계에 미치는 영향에 관하여 조사하고자 실시하였다. 난자의 활성화 처리는 7% ethanol(EtOH) or 10μg/ml Ca-ionophore with or without 10μg/ml cycloheximide (CH) 방법으로 단일 또는 복합처리 하였다. 난자의 활성화 비율은 단일처리(p<0.05)와 복합처리 (p<0.01)한 난자가 무처리에 비하여 유의하게 높았다. Cyclin B1 단백질의 발현이 EtOH+CH 처리한 난자를 제외한 다른 처리군에서는 무처리에 비하여 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.05). 한편 EtOH+CH(r=0.61, p<0.05)와 Ca+CH(r=0.86, p<0.01) 처리그룹에서 cyclin B1 단백질의 발현과 난자의 활성화 간에 높은 역상관관계가 있음을 확인하였다. 하지만 단일처리 그룹에서는 두 요소간에 상관관계가 없음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 단일(EtOH and Ca-ionophore) 또는 복합(EtOH+CH and Ca+CH) 활성화 처리가 난자의 활성화를 증가시키며, 이것은 난자의 활성화 처리에 따른 cyclin B1 단백질의 감소와 밀접한 연관이 있다고 사료된다.
