Abstract

Early ovarian regression was analyzed in the neotropical freshwater teleost, curimatã-pacu (Prochilodus argenteus), in order to evaluate follicular apoptosis, basement membrane morphology, and integrin beta1 and collagen type IV immunostainning in postovulatory follicles. Mature females were induced to spawn by using carp pituitary extract for study of ovarian regression up to 5 days post-spawning. Morphometric analyses showed that the postovulatory follicle area decreased progressively after spawning and was coupled to the gonadosomatic index (r=0.92). During ovarian regression, follicular cells detached from the neighboring cells and basement membrane and then died by apoptosis. The follicular basement membrane became thicker and diffuse and was breached during regression of the postovulatory follicles. Follicular apoptosis was detected by TUNEL, histology, and electron microscopy. The ladder pattern of apoptotic DNA was revealed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The apoptotic index for the follicular cells increased until 3 days post-spawning and decreased thereafter. Immunohistochemistry reactions detected caspase 3, integrin beta1, and collagen type IV in the follicular layer of the postovulatory follicles. Labeling for inte...Continue Reading

Basement Membranes

Basement membranes are thin, specialized extracellular matrices surrounding most tissues in all metazoans. Here is the latest research on basement membranes.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
