摘要
Abstract One of the major causes of oocyte quality deterioration, chromosome segregation abnormalities manifest mainly during meiosis I, which occurs before and during ovulation. However, currently, there is a technical limitation in the introduction of mRNA into premature oocytes without impairing embryonic developmental ability. In this study, we established a low-invasive electroporation (EP) method to introduce mRNA into pre-ovulatory, germinal vesicle (GV) mouse oocytes in an easier manner than the traditional microinjection method. The EP method with an optimized impedance value resulted in the efficient introduction of mRNAs encoding enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) into the GV oocytes surrounded by cumulus cells at a survival rate of 95.0%. Furthermore, the introduction of histone H2B-EGFP mRNA into the GV oocytes labeled most of the oocytes without affecting the blastocyst development rate, indicating the feasibility of the visualization of oocyte chromosomal dynamics that enable us to assay chromosomal integrity in oocyte maturation and cell count in embryonic development. The establishment of this EP method offers extensive assays to select pre-implantation embryos and enables the surveying of essential factors for mammalian oocyte quality determination.
