Summary

Description
English: Parthenogenetic development of swine oocytes. [(Bischoff et al., 2009), PMID: 19571260]. High metaphase promoting factor (MPF) activity causes mammalian oocytes to arrest at the metaphase II stage until fertilization by a sperm. The fertilization event causes intracellular calcium oscillations, and targeted degradation of cyclin B, a regulatory subunit of MPF, thus permitting the MII-arrested oocyte to proceed through meiosis.

To initiate parthenogenesis of swine oocytes, various methods exist to induce an artificial activation that mimics sperm entry, such as calcium ionophore treatment, microinjection of calcium ions, or electrical stimulation. Treatment with cycloheximide, a non-specific protein synthesis inhibitor, enhances parthenote development in swine presumably by continual inhibition of MPF/cyclin B [(Mori et al., 2008), PMID: 18635923]. As meiosis proceeds, extrusion of the second polar is blocked by exposure to cytochalasin B. This treatment results in a diploid (2 maternal genomes) parthenote.

It is recommended to name the SVG file “Parthenogenesis - Bischoff, Steve R 2010.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
