reproductive system
• at 46-48 hours after PMSG injection, oocytes exhibit slightly larger diameters than those collected from control females; however, oocyte number, germinal vesicle breakdown, and in vitro maturation to the MII stage are normal
• oocytes express GDF9 proprotein but lack expression of the 17.5 kDa mature GDF9 protein; however, other fertilization related N-glycoproteins (ZP3 and CD9) are expressed normally
• in vitro, follicles isolated from 12-day-old mice and cultured for 9 days show defective granulosa-oocyte complex (GOC) development with no detectable increase in average follicular volume
• addition of recombinant GDF9 or BMP15 partially restores granulosa cell proliferation and increases follicular volume
• corpora lutea are rarely detected after PMSG/hCG treatment
• at 48 hours after PMSG injection, the ovary surface is smooth and follicles appear abnormal
• after PMSG/hCG treatment, a few preovulatory follicles are found but most of the follicles at the surface of the ovary are immature
• after PMSG/hCG treatment, the number of antral follicles/section is significantly greater than in control females
• after PMSG/hCG treatment, the number of cumulus cells that surround an oocyte after germinal vesicle breakdown is significantly decreased and cumulus expansion is impaired
• after PMSG/hCG treatment, follicular development as arrested at the early antral stage
• after PMSG/hCG treatment, ovarian weight is significantly lower than in control females, possibly due to defective folliculogenesis
• after PMSG/hCG treatment, both the total number of ovulated eggs/mouse and number of metaphase II (MII) eggs/mouse are severely reduced
• when mated with wild-type males, females show a markedly lower pregnancy rate than control females; only 2 litters with 1 pup each are obtained from 16 copulations with 4 females
• average litter size is 0.1 +/- 0.3 versus 8.4 +/- 2.6 pups in control females
• after PMSG/hCG treatment, the fertilization rate (number of 2 cell embryos/number of inseminated eggs) is 0% relative to ~70% in control females
• in vitro fertilization efficiency is lower than in controls; however, MII eggs can be fertilized and develop to term after transfer into pseudopregnant females
