In matured rat oocytes, spontaneous activation from the metaphase-II (MII) stage occurred after collection from the oviducts. It is well known that the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and p34(cdc2) kinase play an important role in the arrest at MII in other species. However, there is no information about the difference in these factors among strains of rats. In the present study, in spontaneously activated oocytes from the Wistar rat, the Mos protein level and the activity of MAPK kinase (MEK)/MAPK were decreased at 120 min (13.8, 25.7, and 19.3, respectively, P < 0.05), whereas Sprague-Dawley (SD) oocytes, which were not spontaneously activated, had a high level of Mos protein and MEK/MAPK activity (75.9, 76.2, and 87.9, respectively, P < 0.05). Phosphorylation of MAPK in the SD oocytes was significantly suppressed by MEK inhibitor, U0126 at 60 min; this treatment decreased p34(cdc2) kinase activity via cyclin B I degradation in a time-dependent manner. The treatment with proteasome inhibitor, MG132 or Ca2+-chelator, BAPTA-AM, overcame the spontaneous degradation of both Mos and cyclin 131 in a dose-dependent manner in Wistar oocytes. More than 90% of Wistar oocytes treated with BAPTA-AM were arrested at MII until 120 min. In conclusion, SD oocytes carrying Mos/MEK/MAPK, maintained a high activity of p34(cdc2) kinase by stabilizing cyclin B1, thus involved in their meiotic arrest. In contrast, Wistar oocytes had a relatively low cytostatic factor activity; rapid decrease of Mos/ MEK/MAPK failed to stabilize both cyclin B1 and Mos, and these oocytes were likely to spontaneously activate.
