note = {This study was conducted to determine whether NOS-NO affects oocytes meiotic maturation and embryo development in vitro in bovine, to profile the temporal expression pattern of NOS genes, then to detect and localize the protein products of iNOS and eNOS in preimplantation developmental stages. Cumulus-oocyte complexes and one-cell embryo were incubated in maturation or/and culture media without or with different doses of L-NAME, an inhibitor of NO. End point was blastocyst rate but cleavage rate was examined also. No significant effect of the inhibitor was obtained when oocytes were matured in presence of L-NAME as indicated by a blastocyst rate of 28 ± 14 %, 19 ± 15 % and 22 ± 11 % at 0, 1 and 10 mM respectively. However, high levels of arrested blastocyst rates were indicative of an impairment of normal development. At culture, L-NAME inhibited embryo development at 10 mM, significantly (p = 0.05) compare to control group (blastocyst rates of 1 ± 2 % at 10 mM against 15 ± 10 % at 0 mM). The inhibitory effect was reduced when L-NAME was decreased to 0.1 or 1 mM. Similar result was observed after application of the inhibitor in maturation and culture media. The application of the inhibitor had no effect on the cleavage rates either at maturation, culture or both at any concentration compared to the control group. In maturation, 71 ± 11 %, 63 ± 13 % and 63 ± 11 % cleavage rates have been obtained at 0, 1 and 10 mM L-NAME respectively. Using real-time RT PCR, the iNOS and eNOS genes were found well expressed in oocytes, 2C and 4C embryos but were far less prevalent in other developmental stages, except iNOS at blastocyst stage. Their expression levels were low in mature oocytes compare to immature oocytes. The absence of quantifiable eNOS or iNOS at 8C and morulae was in contradiction to the qualitative identification. Neuronal NOS mRNA was measurable only in immature oocytes, 4C and morulae stages. NOS proteins detected by immunohistochemistry were localized in cytoplasm of oocytes to blastocyst stages with a weak staining in the nuclei. In germinal vesicle-stage oocytes, the immunoreactivity was localized in the ooplasm but after GVBD, it mostly accumulated around the condensed chromosomes. Our results show for the first time all three NOS profiles, confirming that NO is synthesized from different isoforms to ensure bovine preimplantation development, and also their proteins are detectable by using immunofluorescence staining.},
