Maternal effect factors derived from oocytes are important for sustaining early embryonic development before the major wave of embryonic genome activation (EGA). In this study, we report a two-cell-stage arrest of embryos lacking maternal 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 as a result of suppressed EGA. Concurrent deletion of maternal Pten completely rescued the suppressed EGA and embryonic progression through restored AKT signalling, which fully restored the fertility of double-mutant females. Our study identifies maternal phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signalling as a new maternal effect factor that regulates EGA and preimplantation embryogenesis in mice.
卵母细胞衍生的母体效应因子对于在胚胎基因组激活(EGA)的主要波之前维持早期胚胎发育很重要。在这项研究中,我们报道了缺乏母源 3-磷酸肌醇依赖性蛋白激酶 1 的胚胎在 EGA 被抑制后处于两细胞期停滞。母源 Pten 的同时缺失完全挽救了被抑制的 EGA 和胚胎发育,通过恢复 AKT 信号,这完全恢复了双突变雌性的生育能力。我们的研究确定了母源磷脂酰肌醇 3-激酶信号作为一种新的母体效应因子,调节小鼠的 EGA 和植入前胚胎发生。
