RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Apply Dicer siRNA to study functions of Dicer and miRNA during oogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Mouse oocytes were injected with Dicer siRNA and negative control siRNA and then matured in vitro. After IVM, oocytes were examined for maturation rates, spindle and chromosomal organization, and various gene expressions. RESULTS: Dicer siRNA significantly reduced maturation rates, increased abnormal spindle and chromosomal organization, and reduced the transcripts of Dicer miRNAs, spindle formation proteins (plk1 and AURKA) and spindle check points (Bub1, Bublb). Depletion of bulb16 markedly prohibited the first polar body extrusion and increased the incidence of misaligned chromosomes and abnormal meiotic spindle assembly. CONCLUSION: Dicer siRNA triggered a cascade reduction for gene expressions starting from Dicer to miRNAs than to spindle assembly proteins and checkpoints which led to abnormal spindle and chromosomal organization. Thus, Dicer and miRNA appeared to play an important role during oogenesis and were essential for meiotic completion.

RESUMO

In human embryos, blastomeres differentiate into trophectoderm (TE) cells and inner cell mass (ICM) cells of blastocysts. Although morphologically indistinguishable, blastomeres at early cleavage stages are likely to undergo changes on a molecular level that make them destined to become ICM or TE cells. While the transcription factor Oct-4 might serve as a marker for totipotent ICM cells, human chorionic gonadotrophin might be used as the equivalent for TE cells. This study reports a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction procedure to assess human beta-HCG mRNA concentrations as well as ploidy in individual blastomeres from normally and abnormally fertilized human embryos. beta-HCG mRNA was detected in both euploid and aneuploid cells and in oocytes. Surprisingly, beta-LH mRNA was also detected in some euploid blastomeres. In regard to preimplantation genetic diagnosis, assessment of expression levels of beta-HCG and Oct-4 mRNA in individual biopsied cells might serve as a tool to identify embryogenic blastomeres in combination with testing for chromosome and single gene abnormalities.
