reproductive system
• aberrant alternative splicing (AS) events are detected in numerous oogenesis genes, such as Pabpc1l and Dazl
• protein level of other PRP19 complex core components (CDC5L and PRP19) is severely reduced in GV oocytes as early as P5; however, their mRNA levels remain normal in oocytes from P10 females
• meiosis II oocytes exhibit a large amount of dark cytoplasmic granules as well as disorganized and larger spindles than control oocytes
• the diameter of germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes without zona pellucida is significantly smaller (72.4 um) than in control GV oocytes (85.8 um)
• Nile red staining showed increased lipid droplet aggregation, esp. in the peripheral cytoplasm of GV oocytes
• Mitotracker Red CMXROS staining showed absence of mitochondria around the nucleus and reduced fluorescence intensity in GV oocytes, suggesting poor oocyte quality
• 94% of GV oocytes are found in the nonsurrounded nucleolus (NSN) stage, whereas 80% of control oocytes are in the surrounded nucleolus (SN) stage, suggesting defects in nucleus maturation
• upon culture of GV oocytes, the rate of germinal vesicle breakdown is significantly lower (30%) than in control oocytes (90%)
• the number of primary follicles is normal at P10, P16 and P23 but significantly increased at 2 months of age
• the number of secondary follicles is normal at P10, P16 and P23 but significantly increased at 2 months of age
• the number of antral follicles is normal at P10 but significantly decreased at P16, at P23 and at 2 months of age
• follicular development is arrested: primary follicles and secondary follicles fail to develop into antral follicles
• however, the number of primordial follicles and total number of all stages of follicles is relatively normal from P10 to 2 months of age, indicating that establishment and recruitment of the primordial follicle pool is largely unaffected
• ovaries begin to decrease in size at P16 and are obviously smaller than control ovaries after P23
• following superovulation induction, the number of ovulated oocytes retrieved is less than 50% of that in control females
• female mice grow normally into adulthood but are infertile
• when adult females are mated with normal fertile males, no 2-cell embryos are obtained from fallopian tubes on E1.5
