Research Abstract |
Function of cytoskeleton in the mammalian oocytes during maturation was examined. Results revealed that microfilaments and microtubules may be differently involved in the mitochondrial redistribution according to the interphase and M-phase of the cell cycle. Dynamics of the motor proteins, myosin and kinesin, during oocyte maturation was also clarified. Furthermore, the distributional changes of intermediate filament proteins keratin, vimentin and nestin were shown. Effects of the specific inhibitors of the cell-cycle regulating factors cdc2 and MAP kinase kinase or Rho kinase inhibition on the cytoskeletal architecture were evaluated.
