DESIGN: Prospective laboratory research. SETTING: In vitro fertilization (IVF) laboratory in a university hospital. PATIENT(S): Seventy-five unfertilized oocytes, 45 arrested embryos, and 24 tripronucleate (3PN) embryos from 45 female patients undergoing IVF. INTERVENTION(S): Analysis of mitochondrial gene expression by semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Comparison of the expression levels of mitochondrial genes including ND2, CO I, CO II, ATPase 6, CO III, ND3, ND6, and Cyt b in three groups. RESULT(S): Significantly decreased transcription levels were expressed in unfertilized oocytes and arrested embryos. The average expression levels of the eight determined genes compared with the control (GAPDH) was 4.4 +/- 0.7, 6.4 +/- 1.1, and 13.2 +/- 1.1 in unfertilized oocytes, arrested embryos, and 3PN embryos, respectively. Significantly decreased expressions of the ATPase 6, CO III, and ND3 genes were detected from samples with 4977-bp common deletion in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) compared with the non-deletion group. CONCLUSION(S): The present study is the first report to present globally decreased mitochondrial gene expression levels in human compromised oocytes and embryos. These data support the notion that the down-regulation of mitochondrial RNA by defective oxidative phosphorylation genes possibly affects oocyte quality including fertilization and further embryo development. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=8278 ------>authors2=Au HK ------>authors3=Yeh TS ------>authors4=Chang SJ ------>authors5=Cheng YF ------>authors6=Tzeng CR ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Hsieh RH ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Decreased expression of mitochondrial genes in human unfertilized oocytes and arrested embryos. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2004 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=None |
