PurposeTo study the effect of α-linolenic acid (ALA) on meiotic maturation, mRNA abundance of apoptosis-related (Bax and Bcl-2) molecules, and blastocyst formation in ovine oocytes.MethodsA preliminary experiment was conducted to analyze the concentration of ALA in “small” (≤2 mm) and “large” (≥6 mm) follicles using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis. The concentration of ALA in small and large follicles was determined to be in a range of 75.4 to 125.7 μM, respectively. In vitro maturation (IVM) of oocyte was then performed in presence of 0 (control), 10 (ALA-10), 50 (ALA-50), 100 (ALA-100), and 200 (ALA-200) μM of ALA. Meiotic maturation and mRNA abundance of Bax, and Bcl-2 genes was evaluated after 24 h of IVM. The embryonic cleavage and blastocyst formation following parthenogenetic activation were also determined for each group.ResultsThe highest concentration of ALA (ALA-200) decreased the oocyte maturation rate compared with the control group. Analysis of apoptosis-related genes in oocytes after IVM revealed lesser transcript abundances for Bax gene, and higher transcript abundances for Bcl-2 gene in ALA-treated oocytes as compared with the control oocytes. In term of cleavage rate (considered as 2-cell progression), we did not observe any differences among the groups. However, ALA-100 group promoted more blastocyst formation as compared with the control group.ConclusionOur results suggested that ALA treatment during IVM had a beneficial effect on developmental competence of ovine oocytes by increasing the blastocyst formation and this might be due to the altered abundance of apoptosis-regulatory genes.
