| description | In vitro embryo production depends on high-quality oocytes. Compared with in vivo matured oocytes, in vitro oocytes undergo precocious meiotic resumption, thus compromising oocyte quality. C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a follicular factor maintaining meiotic arrest. Thus, CNP-pretreatment has been widely used to improve the in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes in many species. However, the efficacy of this strategy has remained unsatisfactory in porcine oocytes. Here, by determining the functional concentration and dynamics of CNP in inhibiting spontaneous meiotic resumption, we improved the current IVM system of porcine oocytes. Our results indicate that although the beneficial effect of the CNP pre-IVM strategy is common among species, the detailed method may be largely divergent among them and needs to be redesigned specifically for each one. Focusing on the overlooked role of cumulus cells surrounding the oocytes, we also explore the mechanisms relevant to their beneficial effect. In addition to oocytes per se, the enhanced anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidative gene expression in cumulus cells may contribute considerably to improved oocyte quality. These findings not only emphasize the importance of screening the technical parameters of the CNP pre-IVM strategy for specific species, but also highlight the critical supporting role of cumulus cells in this promising strategy. |
