Background information

At fertilization in mammalian eggs, the sperm induces a series of Ca(2+) oscillations via the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. Increased inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production appears to be triggered by a sperm-derived PLCzeta (phospholipase C-zeta) that enters the egg after gamete fusion. The specific phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolytic activity of PLCzeta implies that DAG (diacylglycerol) production, and hence PKC (protein kinase C) stimulation, also occurs during mammalian egg fertilization. Fertilization-mediated increase in PKC activity has been demonstrated; however, its precise role is unclear.

Results

We investigated PLCzeta- and fertilization-mediated generation of DAG in mouse eggs by monitoring plasma-membrane translocation of a fluorescent DAG-specific reporter. Consistent plasma-membrane DAG formation at fertilization, or after injection of physiological concentrations of PLCzeta, was barely detectable. However, when PLCzeta is overexpressed in eggs, significant plasma-membrane DAG production occurs in concert with a series of unexpected secondary high-frequency Ca(2+) oscillations. We show that these secondary Ca(2+) oscillations can be mimicked in a variety of situations by the stimulation of PKC and that they can be prevented by PKC inhibition. The way PKC leads to secondary Ca(2+) oscillations appears to involve Ca(2+) influx and the loading of thapsigargin-sensitive Ca(2+) stores.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that overproduction of DAG in PLCzeta-injected eggs can lead to PKC-mediated Ca(2+) influx and subsequent overloading of Ca(2+) stores. These results suggest that DAG generation in the plasma membrane of fertilizing mouse eggs is minimized since it can perturb egg Ca(2+) homoeostasis via excessive Ca(2+) influx."xsd:string
