Abstract

The cell division cycle protein 20 (CDC20) is an essential regulator of cell division, encoded by the CDC20 gene. However, the role of CDC20 in bovine oocyte maturation is unknown. In this study, CDC20 morpholino antisense oligonucleotides (MOs) were microinjected into the cytoplasm of bovine oocytes to block the translation of CDC20 mRNA. CDC20 downregulation significantly reduced the rate of first polar body emission (PB1). Further analysis indicated that oocytes treated with CDC20 MO arrested before or at meiotic stage I with abnormal spindles. To further confirm the functions of CDC20 during oocyte meiotic division, CDC20 MOs were microinjected into oocytes together with a supplementary PB1. The results showed that newly synthesized CDC20 was not necessary at the meiosis II-to-anaphase II transition. Our data suggest that CDC20 is required for spindle assembly, chromosomal segregation, and PB1 extrusion during bovine oocyte maturation.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins.

Antisense Oligonucleotides: ND

This feed focuses on antisense oligonucleotide therapies such as Inotersen, Nusinursen, and Patisiran, in neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
