We have presented evidence that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is present in mouse oocytes and is an important component of the meiotic induction system. In the present study, we have examined the potential role of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) in AMPK-induced meiotic maturation, because this is one of the pathways commonly activated by AMPK. Etomoxir and malonyl CoA, two inhibitors of carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1 (CPT1), and thus FAO, blocked meiotic induction in dbcAMP-arrested cumulus cell-enclosed oocytes (CEO) and denuded oocytes (DO) by the AMPK activator, AICAR. C75, an activator of CPT1 and FAO, stimulated meiotic resumption in CEO and DO. This effect was insensitive to the AMPK inhibitor, compound C, indicating an action downstream of AMPK. Palmitic acid or carnitine also promoted meiotic resumption in DO in the presence of a low concentration of AICAR. Since C75 also suppresses the activity of fatty acid synthase (FAS), we tested another FAS inhibitor, cerulenin. Cerulenin stimulated maturation in arrested oocytes, but to a lesser extent, exhibited significantly slower kinetics and was effective in CEO but not DO. Moreover, etomoxir completely blocked C75-induced maturation but was ineffective in cerulenin-treated oocytes. These results indicate that the meiosis-inducing action of C75 is through activation of FAO within the oocyte, while that of cerulenin is independent of FAO and acts within the cumulus cells. Finally, we determined that long chain, but not short chain, fatty acyl carnitine derivatives, which can enter the FAO pathway downstream of the site of etomoxir inhibition, were stimulatory to oocyte maturation. The C16 derivative, palmitoyl carnitine (PC), stimulated maturation in both CEO and DO, with rapid kinetics in DO (an increase in maturation after 2 h from 11% to 62% in hypoxanthine-supplemented medium); this effect was insensitive to etomoxir treatment but was inhibited by mercaptoacetate and 2-bromo-octanoic acid, both downstream inhibitors of FAO. These results are consistent with the idea that activation of AMPK stimulates meiotic resumption in mouse oocytes by eliminating a block to FAO.
