Abstract in Portuguese
A busca por melhores resultados nas biotecnologias reprodutivas leva a um estudo dos mecanismos fisiológicos básicos dos gametas e embriões em estágios iniciais. Entender como funciona o desenvolvimento destes, quais os nutrientes que eles precisam para se desenvolver in vitro e quais as condições ambientais necessárias permitem maiores taxas de sucesso. Tendo em vista a heterogeneidade dos complexos cumulus-oócito (COC) bovinos recuperados de ovários obtidos em frigorífico para a maturação in vitro e a relação entre oócito e células do cumulus nos resultados da produção in vitro de embriões, esse trabalho visa a identificação de fatores moleculares que possam explicar as melhores taxas de blastocistos obtidas por COCs com mais de três camadas de células do cumulus compactas e ooplasma homogêneo (COCI) quando comparados com COCs com menos de duas camadas de células do cumulus, com parte da zona pelúcida exposta e ooplasma homogêneo ou heterogêneo (COCIII). Para isso, COCI e III foram maturados in vitro separadamente, foram vortexados para retirada das células do cumulus e os oócitos foram submetidos a extração de RNA. O RNA foi amplificado em aRNA, marcado com biotina, fragmentado e hibridizado em microarray. Os arrays foram escaneados e os dados gerados analisados pelo métodos Significance Analysis of Microarrays e Rank Products em busca de genes diferencialmente expressos (DEG). A análise funcional in silico foi realizada com a ferramenta Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Os resultados mostraram que o perfil de expressão dos oócitos de COCIII é diferente do perfil dos oócitos de COCI, como pode ser observado pelos 446 DEGs identificados, sendo 24 com expressão aumentada em oócitos de COCIII. Os genes com expressão alterada estão envolvidos em processos básicos da célula, como reassumição da meiose, metabolismo do oócito e maturação molecular, o que corrobora a ideia de que uma grande quantidade de células do cumulus interagindo com o oócito é crucial para a competência de desenvolvimento.

Abstract in English
The researches for better results in reproductive biotechnologies have leading to studies of the basic physiological mechanisms of gametes and embryos in the early stages of developmental. Understand about their development, which nutrients they need and what environmental conditions are necessary to allow higher success rates. Because of the cumulus-oocyte complexes (COC) heterogeneous recovered from bovine ovaries obtained from an abattoir used for in vitro maturation and the relationship between oocyte and cumulus cells in the in vitro production of embryos, this study aims to identify molecular factors which might explain the improved rates of blastocyst obtained by COCs with more than three compact layers of cumulus cells and homogeneous ooplasm (COCI) compared with COC with less than two layers of cumulus cells, with part of the zona pellucida exposed and homogeneous or heterogeneous ooplasm (COCIII). For this, COCI and III were matured in vitro separately, their cumulus cells were removed and oocytes were subjected to RNA extraction. The RNA was amplified in aRNA, biotin labeled, fragmented and hybridized on microarray. The arrays were scanned and the data generated analyzed by the Significance Analysis of Microarrays and Rank Products methods in search of differentially expressed genes (DEG). In silico functional analysis were performed using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. The results showed that the expression profile of COCIII oocytes is different from the profile of COCI oocytes. 446 DEGs were identified of which 24 presented increased expression in COCIII oocytes. Genes with altered expression are, in general, involved in the basic processes of the cell, as reassume of meiosis, metabolism of the oocyte and molecular maturation, which confirms the idea that a large amount of cumulus cells interacting with the oocyte is crucial for the development of competence.
