Abstract
Knowledge of the functional morphology of equine cumulus‐oocyte‐complexes (COCs) shortly before ovulation is scarce. Therefore the aim of our studies was to characterize COCs matured in vivo by light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and immunohistochemistry (ICC). Pre‐ovulatory COCs were obtained by ultrasound‐guided transvaginal aspiration of pre‐ovulatory follicles of 26 pony mares. The morphology of pre‐ovulatory COCs was compared to that of immature COCs obtained by slicing of ovaries from the slaughterhouse. As shown by light microscopy and SEM, immature COCs possess numerous round, densely packed cumulus cells, which contact each other and possess merely single short processes. Contrary, in pre‐ovulatory oocytes the cumulus cells are widely separated but send long cytoplasmic processes to the zona pellucida (ZP). All the cumulus cells are embedded in a huge amount of homogenous extracellular matrix. As shown by alcian blue staining and Periodic Acid Schiff Reaction (PAS) with and without amylase digestion, this matrix contains glycoproteins and acidic and sulphated glycosaminoglycans. In pre‐ovulatory COCs both the oocyte and the cumulus cells produce glycosaminoglycans, whereas immature COCs are negative for alcian blue. Similarly, glycoproteins are synthesized in pre‐ovulatory, but not in immature COCs. As shown by ICC, hyaluronic acid is one of the most abundant mucopolysaccharide in the pre‐ovulatory COC. The high synthetic activity of the cumulus cells in the pre‐ovulatory COC is confirmed by TEM showing densely packed endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and accumulation of glycogen in the cumulus cells. Our results imply that in the equine in vitro maturation of the oocyte is characterized by the cumulus cells synthesizing an extracellular matrix of glycoproteins and acidic and sulphated glycosaminoglycans. The extensive production of extracellular, water‐binding matrix in the pre‐ovulatory COC ensures mechanical protection and nutrition of the oocyte.

Therefore the aim of our studies was to characterize COCs matured in vivo by light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and immunohistochemistry (ICC). Pre‐ovulatory COCs were obtained by ultrasound‐guided transvaginal aspiration of pre‐ovulatory follicles of 26 pony mares. The morphology of pre‐ovulatory COCs was compared to that of immature COCs obtained by slicing of ovaries from the slaughterhouse. As shown by light microscopy and SEM, immature COCs possess numerous round, densely packed cumulus cells, which contact each other and possess merely single short processes. Contrary, in pre‐ovulatory oocytes the cumulus cells are widely separated but send long cytoplasmic processes to the zona pellucida (ZP). All the cumulus cells are embedded in a huge amount of homogenous extracellular matrix. As shown by alcian blue staining and Periodic Acid Schiff Reaction (PAS) with and without amylase digestion, this matrix contains glycoproteins and acidic and sulphated glycosaminoglycans. In pre‐ovulatory COCs both the oocyte and the cumulus cells produce glycosaminoglycans, whereas immature COCs are negative for alcian blue. Similarly, glycoproteins are synthesized in pre‐ovulatory, but not in immature COCs. As shown by ICC, hyaluronic acid is one of the most abundant mucopolysaccharide in the pre‐ovulatory COC. The high synthetic activity of the cumulus cells in the pre‐ovulatory COC is confirmed by TEM showing densely packed endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and accumulation of glycogen in the cumulus cells. Our results imply that in the equine in vitro maturation of the oocyte is characterized by the cumulus cells synthesizing an extracellular matrix of glycoproteins and acidic and sulphated glycosaminoglycans. The extensive production of extracellular, water‐binding matrix in the pre‐ovulatory COC ensures mechanical protection and nutrition of the oocyte.</abstract><relatedItem type="host"><titleInfo><title>Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia</title></titleInfo><genre type="journal">journal</genre><identifier type="ISSN">0340-2096</identifier><identifier type="eISSN">1439-0264</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1111/(ISSN)1439-0264</identifier><identifier type="PublisherID">AHE</identifier><part><date>2005</date><detail type="volume"><caption>vol.</caption><number>34</number></detail><detail type="supplement"><caption>Suppl. no.</caption><number>s1</number></detail><extent unit="pages"><start>26</start><end>26</end></extent></part></relatedItem><identifier type="istex">7C0B45F8064C256D9ACB5EAA032839CF28946442</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1111/j.1439-0264.2005.00669_58.x</identifier><identifier type="ArticleID">AHE669_58_58</identifier><recordInfo><recordContentSource>WILEY</recordContentSource><recordOrigin>Blackwell Verlag GmbH</recordOrigin></recordInfo></mods></metadata><serie></serie></istex></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
