Abstract
SummaryImmature mouse oocytes (germinal vesicle stage, GV), oocytes at different stages during maturation (prometaphase to anaphase I) and matured oocytes (metaphase II arrested) were cultured in 6-dimethylaminopurine (6-DMAP)-supplemented medium also containing bromodeoxyuridine for the assessment of DNA replication in these cells. Immature oocytes remained arrested at the GV stage and DNA replication was never detected in them. On the other hand, oocytes at the prometaphase to anaphase-telophase I stages responded to 6-DMAP treatment by forming nuclei which synthesised DNA. Mature (metaphase II) oocytes did not respond to 6-DMAP and their chromatin remained condensed. DNA synthesis could even be induced in GV-staged oocytes, but only when they were fused to freshly activated oocytes and incubated in 6-DMAP-supplemented medium.
