Cultivo de folÃculos prÃ-antrais caprinos em meio suplementado com a lectina PHA de Phaseolus vulgaris. / Cultivation of goat preantral follicles in medium supplemented with the lectin PHA from Phaseolus vulgaris.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Os caprinos sÃo considerados importantes fontes de carne, leite e pele, e, portanto, desempenham importante papel econÃmico especialmente na regiÃo nordeste do Brasil Diante disso, o desenvolvimento de sistemas de cultivo de folÃculos ovarianos pode otimizar potencial reprodutivo desta espÃcie. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da lectin PHA de Phaseolus vulgaris sobre o desenvolvimento de folÃculos ovarianos caprino cultivados in vitro. FolÃculos secundÃrios (~ 0,2mm) foram isolados de cÃrtex ovariano e individualmente cultivados por seis dias em α-MEM+ suplementado com 0, 1, 10, 50, 100 o 200Âg/mL da lectina PHA. Ao final do perÃodo de cultivo, os nÃveis de RNAm para FSH-R PCNA e NOS1 nestes folÃculos foram quantificados por qRT-PCR . Os resultados mostraram que, apÃs o cultivo, todos os tratamentos foram capazes de manter a sobrevivÃncia folicula AlÃm disso, nÃo foram observadas diferenÃas significativas entre os tratamentos e o control no aumento do diÃmetro folicular durante o cultivo. Entretanto, a PHA na concentraÃÃo de 10Âg/mL promove uma maior taxa de formaÃÃo de antro em relaÃÃo ao controle (α-MEM+ Nessa concentraÃÃo houve maior expressÃo dos nÃveis de RNAm para FSH-R e PCNA. Em conclusÃo, a PHA na concentraÃÃo de 10Âg/mL mostrou aÃÃo biolÃgica na formaÃÃo antro estimulou um aumento nos nÃveis de expressÃo de RNAm para FSH-R e PCNA em folÃculo secundÃrios caprinos cultivados in vitro por 6 dias. / Goats are considered important sources of meat, milk and skin, and therefore play an important economic role, especially in northeastern Brazil. Thus, the development of culture systems can optimize the reproductive potential of this species. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of lectin PHA of Phaseolus vulgaris on the development of caprine secondary follicles cultured in vitro. Secondary follicles (~0,2mm) were isolated from the cortex of caprine ovaries and individually cultured for six days in α-MEM+ supplemented with PHA at concentrations of 0, 1, 10, 50, 100 or 200Âg/mL. The levels of mRNA for R-FSH, PCNA and NOS1 in these follicles were also evaluated. The results showed that, after culture, all treatments were capable of maintaining the follicular survival. Moreover, there was no significant difference among all treatments regarding follicular growth. However, PHA at concentrations of 10Âg/mL increased the antrum formation rate when compared with control. In this concentration, there was a higher expression of mRNA for R-FSH and PCNA. In conclusion, PHA at concentration 10Âg/mL showed a biological action in antro formation and stimulated an increase of levels of expression of RNAm in caprine ovarian follicles cultured for six days.
