TLDR
Elucidating the nature of oocyte-somatic cell interactions at the various stages of follicle development will have important implications for the understanding of factors regulating folliculogenesis, ovulation rate and fecundity.

Role of cAMP modulator supplementations during oocyte in vitro maturation in domestic animals.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to comprehensively evaluate and provide data related to the use of cAMP modulators during IVM and the effects on completion of meiosis and cytoplasmic reorganization, which are required for development of oocytes with the capacity to contribute to fertilization and subsequent embryonic development.

The Immp2l Mutation Causes Ovarian Aging Through ROS-Wnt/β-Catenin-Estrogen Pathway: Preventive Effect of Melatonin.

TL;DR: Taken together, Immp2l causes ovarian aging through the ROS-Wnt/β-catenin-estrogen (cyp19a1) pathway, which can be reversed by melatonin treatment, which delayed granulosa cell aging progression.

Bone morphogenetic protein 15 and growth differentiation factor 9 expression in the ovary of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax): Cellular localization, developmental profiles, and response to unilateral ovariectomy

TL;DR: The cellular localization, the developmental profiles, and the response to unilateral ovariectomy of protein and mRNA steady-state levels of Bmp15 and Gdf9 in the ovary of European sea bass, an important fish species for marine aquaculture industry are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heat stress induces distinct responses in porcine cumulus cells and oocytes associated with disrupted gap junction and trans-zonal projection colocalization.

TL;DR: It is indicated that HS induces distinct responses in porcine CCs and oocytes in association with disrupted GJ and TZP colocalization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temporal expression of GDF-9 and BMP-15 mRNAs in canine ovarian follicles.

TL;DR: These two genes were detected in follicular cells and oocytes and were differentially expressed during the follicular development across the estrus cycle, and remained constant during the final preovulatory stage.

Growth differentiation factor-9 is required during early ovarian folliculogenesis

TL;DR: Oocyte growth and zona pellucida formation proceed normally, but other aspects of oocyte differentiation are compromised, and GDF-9 is the first oocyte-derived growth factor required for somatic cell function in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in an oocyte-derived growth factor gene (BMP15) cause increased ovulation rate and infertility in a dosage-sensitive manner.

TL;DR: It is established that BMP15 is essential for female fertility and that natural mutations in an ovary-derived factor can cause both increased ovulation rate and infertility phenotypes in a dosage-sensitive manner.

Oocyte control of ovarian follicular development and function in mammals.

John J. Eppig
- 01 Dec 2001 - 
TL;DR: The existence of an oocyte-granulosa cell regulatory loop, essential for normal follicular differentiation as well as for the production of a oocyte competent to undergo fertilization and embryogenesis, is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synergistic roles of bone morphogenetic protein 15 and growth differentiation factor 9 in ovarian function.

TL;DR: The dosage of intact Bmp15 and Gdf9 alleles directly influences the destiny of the oocyte during folliculogenesis and in the periovulatory period, which has important implications for human fertility control and the maintenance of fertility and normal ovarian physiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in the Genes for Oocyte-Derived Growth Factors GDF9 and BMP15 Are Associated with Both Increased Ovulation Rate and Sterility in Cambridge and Belclare Sheep (Ovis aries)

TL;DR: This is the first time that a mutation in the gene for GDF9 has been found that causes increased ovulation rate and infertility in a manner similar to inactivating mutations in BMP15, and shows that GDF 9 is essential for normal folliculogenesis in sheep.
