    Working model for the impact of NADH on the quality of COH immature oocytes. Presented new findings on IVM culture of human immature oocytes during the COH cycle: The addition of 10 –6 M NADH in IVM medium can effectively improve the developmental potential of IVM-MⅡ oocytes. The mechanism is that the application of NADH significantly increases the levels of ATP, MMP and GSH in oocytes, and realizes the improvement of mitochondrial function and antioxidant capacity of IVM- MⅡ oocytes. NADH up-regulates CDK2 and GAS6 genes, protected the cell cycle progression and promoted cytoplasmic maturation and facilitates embryonic development respectively.

    Protein expression of CDK2S and CDK2L in tissue extracts. (A) Protein extracts from testis, spleen, thymus and brain were analysed by western blotting using pan-CDK2 antibodies. Note that p39 corresponds to CDK2L and p33 to CDK2S, respectively. (B) Testis protein extracts from wild-type, Cdk2 SHORT/SHORT (CDK2S), and Cdk2 LONG/LONG (CDK2L) mice were analysed for CDK2 expression. Note that HSP90 serves as a loading control in A and B.

The antibodies against CDK2L only recognized the 39 kDa isoform of CDK2 (CDK2L) and not the 33 kDa isoform (CDK2S).

Data are presented as the mean number of cumulative pups born to breeding pairs of each condition (±s.d.). One-way ANOVA analysis indicated that there is no statistical significance between heterozygous groups. Day 0 indicates the start of breeding, which was initiated when both male and female mice of a single breeding pair were 8-10 weeks of age.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Morphology of testis and ovary. (A) H&E-stained P30 (30 days postpartum) testis sections from wild type, Cdk2 SHORT/SHORT (CDK2S) and Cdk2 LONG/LONG (CDK2L). Boxed areas are shown at higher magnification beneath. Arrows indicate pre-leptotene (PL; orange), pachytene (P; green), spermatocytes, and round spermatids (RS; yellow). Scale bars: 60 µm (top row); 15 µm (bottom row). (B) H&E-stained P56 ovary sections from wild type, Cdk2 SHORT/SHORT (CDK2S) and Cdk2 LONG/LONG (CDK2L). Boxed areas are shown at higher magnification beneath to illustrate follicles. Scale bars: 60 µm (top row); 15 µm (bottom row).

    Article Snippet: For the validation of the antibodies against CDK2L, we immunoprecipitated CDK2 (both CDK2S and CDK2L) using 4 μl of mouse monoclonal anti-Cdk2 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-6248) and 10 μl Protein A agarose slurry (MedChemExpress, HY-K0213) from mouse testis extract, followed by western blotting with rabbit anti-CDK2 antibodies ( ) at 1:5000 ( , lanes 1-3) or rabbit antibodies against CDK2L ( ) at 1:1000, followed by a secondary anti-rabbit IgG antibody (goat anti-rabbit IgG conjugated to HRP, Invitrogen, 31462) at 1:5000.

    The synaptonemal complex forms successfully in CDK2S and CDK2L testis. (A-R) Chromosome spreads were prepared from adult testis and stained with antibodies against SYCP1 (green) and SYCP3 (magenta). Various stages of meiotic prophase I are depicted for wild type (A-F), Cdk2 SHORT/SHORT (G-L; CDK2S) and Cdk2 LONG/LONG (M-R; CDK2L). Spermatocytes from all three genotypes progress comparably into mid-pachytene (D,J,P), late-pachytene (E,K,Q) and diplotene (F,L,R). The sex chromosomes are labelled by a blue ‘XY’. At least three biological replicates were analysed for each condition. Scale bars: 5 µm.

    The repair of recombination intermediates. Chromosome spreads were prepared from adult testis and stained with antibodies against γH2AX (green, DNA damage) and SYCP3 (red). Various stages of meiotic prophase I are depicted for wild type (A-F), Cdk2 SHORT/SHORT (G-L; CDK2S) and Cdk2 LONG/LONG (M-R; CDK2L). DNA intermediates are repaired at the correct time with a cloud-like staining in leptotene (A,G,M) and zygotene (B,H,N). Thereafter, γH2AX staining is mostly found along the axis (C,I,O) and retreats over time starting at mid-pachytene (D,J,P,E,K,Q,F,L,R). The sex chromosomes are labelled by a blue ‘XY’. At least three biological replicates were analysed for each condition. Scale bars: 5 µm.

Boxed areas are shown at higher magnification in insets I-XII. Yellow arrows indicate telomeres, and magenta arrows interstitial sites. At least three biological replicates were analysed for each condition. Scale bars: 5 µm (main panels); 1.25 µm (insets, I-XII).

    CDK2L can localize to interstitial sites in the absence of CDK2S. (A-R) Chromosome spreads were prepared from adult testis for wild type (A-F), Cdk2 SHORT/SHORT (G-L; CDK2S) and Cdk2 LONG/LONG (M-R; CDK2L) and stained with antibodies against CDK2L (red), pan-CDK2 (green; detecting both CDK2S and CDK2L) and SYCP3 (blue). CDK2S can bind to both telomeres and interstitial sites (I-XII; green). In wild type, CDK2L binds to telomeres but not interstitial sites (I-IV; red); in Cdk2 SHORT/SHORT CDK2L cannot be detected (V-VIII); and in Cdk2 LONG/LONG CDK2L binds prominently to telomeres and weakly to interstitial sites (IX-XII; red). The sex chromosomes are labelled by a grey ‘XY’. Boxed areas are shown at higher magnification in insets I-XII. Yellow arrows indicate telomeres, and magenta arrows interstitial sites. At least three biological replicates were analysed for each condition. Scale bars: 5 µm (main panels); 1.25 µm (insets, I-XII).
