note = {This study, the RNA interference (RNAi) approach was applied to suppress the expression of the maternal (C-mos) and embryonic (Oct-4) transcripts in bovine oocytes and embryos, respectively using microinjection of sequence specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). For this 435 bp C-mos and 341 bp Oct-4 dsRNA were synthesised and microinjected into the cytoplasm of immature oocytes and zygotes, respectively. In experiment 1, immature oocytes were categorized into three groups: those injected with C-mos dsRNA, water (RNase-free), and uninjected controls. In experiment 2, in vitro produced zygotes were categorized into three groups: those injected with Oct-4 dsRNA, water (RNase-free) and uninjected controls. The developmental phenotypes, the level of mRNA and protein expression were investigated after treatment in both experiments. Microinjection of C-mos dsRNA has resulted in reduction of C-mos transcript (70%) and protein after maturation compared to the water injected and uninjected controls (P < 0.01). From oocytes injected with C-mos dsRNA, 60% showed the extrusion of first polar body compared to 50% in water injected and 44% in uninjected controls. Moreover, only oocytes injected with C-mos dsRNA showed spontaneous activation. Microinjection of zygotes with Oct-4 dsRNA has also resulted in reduction in Oct-4 transcript abundance (72%) and protein at the blastocyst stage compared to the uninjected control zygotes (P < 0.01). The first cleavage, morula and blastocyst rate were not significantly different between three treatment groups. However, a significant reduction in the number of inner cell mass was observed in Oct-4 dsRNA injected embryos compared to the other groups. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that sequence specific dsRNA can be used to knockdown maternal or embryonic transcripts in bovine embryogenesis and therefor as a tool to study the function of genes.},
