DMBA acts on cumulus cells to desynchronize nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation of pig oocytes

Abstract As an environmental pollutant and carcinogen, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) can destroy ovarian follicles at all developmental stages in rodents. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains obscure. In the present study, we aim to address how DMBA affects the in vitro matura...

However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains obscure. In the present study, we aim to address how DMBA affects the in vitro maturation and development of porcine oocytes. We discovered that for 20 μM DMBA-treated cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs), the rate of oocyte germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) was significantly altered, and the extrusion rate of first polar body was increased. Moreover, oocytes from 20 μM DMBA-treated COCs had significant down-regulation of H3K9me3 and H3K27me3, up-regulation of H3K36me3, higher incidence of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and early apoptosis. In striking contrast, none of these changes happened to 20 μM DMBA-treated cumulus-denuded oocytes (CDOs). Furthermore, 20 μM DMBA treatment increased the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (Δ Ψm), and inhibited developmental competence for oocytes from both COC and CDO groups.
