| Research Abstract |
We examined whether temperature-sensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) channels were involved in the injury of pig oocytes/embryos at low/high temperatures. Pig immature oocytes and maturing oocytes expressed mRNA of TRPA1, a cold-sensitive TRP channel, whereas mature oocytes and embryos expressed not only mRNA of TRPA1 but also that of TRPM8, another cold-sensitive TRP channel. TRPV1, a hot-sensitive channel, was expressed only in immature oocytes. The viability of pig oocytes decreased after cold treatment, depending on the activation temperature of the TRP channels expressed in oocytes at each stage. When oocytes were suppressed with the expression of the cold-sensitive TRP channels, the viability was improved markedly. These results strongly suggest that cold-sensitive TRP channels are involved in the chilling injury of pig oocytes.
