  • Oogenesis in Mammals

    Oogenesis in Mammals

    OOGENESIS IN MAMMALS In contrast to most other vertebrates , mammals do not replenish the stores of oocytes present in the ovary at birth. At birth the human ovaries contain about 1 million oocytes ( many of which are already degenerating) that have been arrested in the diplotene stage of the first meiotic division . These oocytes are already surrounded by a layer of follicular cells or granulosa cells , and the complex of ovum and its surrounding cellular investments is known as a follicle . Of all the germ cells present in the ovary ,only about 400 (one per menstrual cycle) will reach maturity and become ovulated. The remainder develop to varying degrees and then undergo atresia (degeneration). Oocytes first become associated with follicular cells in the late fetal period , when they are going through early prophase of the first meiotic division . The primary oocyte (so called because it is undergoing the first meiotic division ) plus its incomplete covering of flattened follicular cells is called a primordial follicle . According to Gougeon (1993) a follicle passes through three major phases on its way to ovulation. The first phase is characterized by a large pool of nongrowing follicles , approximately 500,000 per ovary at birth. In this pool are primordial follicles, which develop into primary follicles by surrounding themselves with a complete single layer of cuboidal follicular cells . By this time , the oocytes have entered the first period of meiotic arrest , the diplotene stage . In human , essentially all oocytes , unless Page 1 of 5 : SEM-2 (GEN ) , Unit#6 : OOGENESIS : Pritha Mondal they degenerate ,remain arrested in the diplotene stage until puberty ; some will not progress past the diplotene stage until the woman’s last reproductive cycle (age 45 to 55 years).

    Characterization of Murine Macrophages from Bone Marrow

    Wang et al. BMC Immunology 2013, 14:6 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2172/14/6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Characterization of murine macrophages from bone marrow, spleen and peritoneum Changqi Wang1*†, Xiao Yu1,2†, Qi Cao1, Ya Wang1, Guoping Zheng1, Thian Kui Tan1, Hong Zhao1,3, Ye Zhao1, Yiping Wang1 and David CH Harris1 Abstract Background: Macrophages have heterogeneous phenotypes and complex functions within both innate and adaptive immune responses. To date, most experimental studies have been performed on macrophages derived from bone marrow, spleen and peritoneum. However, differences among macrophages from these particular sources remain unclear. In this study, the features of murine macrophages from bone marrow, spleen and peritoneum were compared. Results: We found that peritoneal macrophages (PMs) appear to be more mature than bone marrow derived macrophages (BMs) and splenic macrophages (SPMs) based on their morphology and surface molecular characteristics. BMs showed the strongest capacity for both proliferation and phagocytosis among the three populations of macrophage. Under resting conditions, SPMs maintained high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines expression (IL-6, IL-12 and TNF-α), whereas BMs produced high levels of suppressive cytokines (IL-10 and TGF-β). However, SPMs activated with LPS not only maintained higher levels of (IL-6, IL-12 and TNF-α) than BMs or PMs, but also maintained higher levels of IL-10 and TGF-β. Conclusions: Our results show that BMs, SPMs and PMs are distinct populations with different biological functions, providing clues to guide their further experimental or therapeutic use. Keywords: Macrophage, Bone marrow, Spleen, Peritoneum Background macrophage populations could be attributed to their het- Macrophages play an essential role in both innate and erogeneity [4].

Its biosynthesis by HA synthase (HAS1–3) and catabolism by hyaluronidases (HYALs) are affected by ovarian steroid hormones. Depending upon its molecular size, HA functions both as a structural component of tissues in the form of high-molecular-weight HA or as a signalling molecule in the form of small HA molecules or HA fragments with effects mediated through interaction with its specific cell-membrane receptors. HA is produced by oocytes and embryos and in various segments of the reproductive system. This review provides information about the expression and function of members of the HA system, including HAS, HYALs and HA receptors. We examine their role in various processes from folliculogenesis through oocyte maturation, fertilisation and early embryo development, to pregnancy and cervical dilation, as well as its application in assisted reproduction technologies. Particular emphasis has been placed upon the role of the HA system in pre-implantation embryo development and embryo implantation, for which we propose a hypothetical sequential model.

Received: 13 January 2018; Accepted: 26 January 2018; Published: 31 January 2018 Abstract: The pineal gland is a unique organ that synthesizes melatonin as the signaling molecule of natural photoperiodic environment and as a potent neuronal protective antioxidant. An intact and functional pineal gland is necessary for preserving optimal human health. Unfortunately, this gland has the highest calcification rate among all organs and tissues of the human body. Pineal calcification jeopardizes melatonin’s synthetic capacity and is associated with a variety of neuronal diseases. In the current review, we summarized the potential mechanisms of how this process may occur under pathological conditions or during aging. We hypothesized that pineal calcification is an active process and resembles in some respects of bone formation. The mesenchymal stem cells and melatonin participate in this process. Finally, we suggest that preservation of pineal health can be achieved by retarding its premature calcification or even rejuvenating the calcified gland. Keywords: pineal gland; calcification; melatonin; aging; neurodegenerative diseases; rejuvenation 1. Introduction Pineal gland is a unique organ which is localized in the geometric center of the human brain. Its size is individually variable and the average weight of pineal gland in human is around 150 mg [1], the size of a soybean.

Dispersed granulosa and theca interna cells were recovered from follicles of prepubertal gilts at 36, 72 and 108 h after treatment with 750 i.u. PMSG, followed 72 h later with 500 i.u. hCG to stimulate follicular growth and ovulation. In the absence of aromatizable substrate, theca interna cells produced substantially more oestrogen than did granulosa cells. Oestrogen production was increased markedly in the presence of androstenedione and testosterone in granulosa cells but only to a limited extent in theca interna cells. The ability of both cellular compartments to produce oestrogen increased up to 72 h with androstenedione being the preferred substrate. Oestrogen production by the two cell types incubated together was greater than the sum produced when incubated alone. Theca interna cells were the principal source of androgen, predominantly androstenedione. Thecal androgen production increased with follicular development and was enhanced by addition of pregnenolone or by LH 36 and 72 h after PMSG treatment. The ability of granulosa and thecal cells to produce progesterone increased with follicular development and addition of pregnenolone. After exposure of developing follicles to hCG in vivo, both cell types lost their ability to produce oestrogen.

Fritzsche1, H. W. Michelmann2, E. Siebzehnrübl3, R. K. A. Schmedemann4 The interactions between oocyte and surrounding cumulus cells, as well as between cumulus oophorus and theca cells, were investigated in IVF/ ICSI cycles. Gap junctions connect cumulus cells with the oocyte, thereby enabling a bi-directional exchange of products essential for optimal oocyte development. GnRH, FSH, LH and E2 play a major role during oocyte maturation. In general, FSH and LH are prerequisites for folliculogenesis, as well as oogenesis, but it is the quantitative threshold value of both that seems to determine oocyte quality and pregnancy rate. It remains to be determined how apoptosis and the anti-Muellerian hormone (AMH) can be used as predictive factors regarding the success of ART. In a retrospec- tive sub-analysis of comparative stimulation regimens, using either LH + FSH (hMG-HP) or FSH (rFSH) alone in GnRH-antagonist down-regulated cycles, it was possible to demonstrate that stimulation with LH and FSH results in a significantly higher pregnancy rate in IVF-patients compared to a stimulation with only FSH.
