Little is known about mtDNA replication during oocyte maturation and its regulation by extracellular factors. The present study determined the effects of supplementation of maturation medium with sus scrofa follicular fluid (pFF, 0, 10, 20, and 30%) on mtDNA copy number and oocyte maturation in Experiment 1; the effects on EGF (10 ng/mL), neuregulin 1 (NRG1, 20 ng/mL) and NRG1+IGF1(insulin-like growth factor 1, 100 ng/mL + NRG1 20 ng/mL), on mtDNA copy number, oocyte maturation, and embryo development after parthenogenic activation in Experiment 2, and effects on embryo development after in vitro fertilization in Experiment 3. Overall, mtDNA copy number increased from GV to MII stage oocytes after in vitro maturation (GV: 167,634.6 ± 20,740.4 vs MII: 275,131.9 ± 9,758.4 in Experiment 1, P<0.05; GV: 185,004.7 ± 20,089.3 vs MII: 239,392.8 ± 10,345.3 in Experiment 2, P<0.05). Supplementation of IVM medium with pFF inhibited mtDNA replication (266,789.9 ± 11,790.4 vs 318,510.1 ± 20,377.4, P<0.05) and oocyte meiotic maturation (67.3 ± 0.7% vs 73.2 ± 1.2, for the pFF supplemented and zero pFF control, respectively, P<0.01). Compared to the control, addition of growth factors enhanced oocyte maturation. Furthermore, supplementation of NRG1 stimulated mitochondrial replication, resulted in more mtDNA copies in MII oocytes than GV oocytes, and increased percentage of blastocysts in both parthenogenetic and in vitro fertilized embryos. This study demonstrated that mitochondrial biogenesis in oocytes is stimulated during in vitro maturation. Oocyte mtDNA copy number was associated with its developmental competence. Supplementation of maturation medium with NRG1 increased mtDNA copy number, and thus provides a means to improve oocyte quality and developmental competence in pigs.
