Abstract
During oocyte development, meiosis arrests in prophase of the first division for a remarkably prolonged period firstly during oocyte growth, and then when awaiting the appropriate hormonal signals for egg release. This prophase arrest is finally unlocked when locally produced maturation initiation hormones (MIHs) trigger entry into M-phase. Here, we assess the current knowledge of the successive cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for keeping meiotic progression on hold. We focus on two model organisms, the amphibian Xenopus laevis, and the hydrozoan jellyfish Clytia hemisphaerica. Conserved mechanisms govern the initial meiotic programme of the oocyte prior to oocyte growth and also, much later, the onset of mitotic divisions, via activation of two key kinase systems: Cdk1-Cyclin B/Gwl (MPF) for M-phase activation and Mos-MAPkinase to orchestrate polar body formation and cytostatic (CSF) arrest. In contrast, maintenance of the prophase state of the fully-grown oocyte is assured by highly specific mechanisms, reflecting enormous variation between species in MIHs, MIH receptors and their immediate downstream signalling response. Convergence of multiple signalling pathway components to promote MPF activation in some oocytes, including Xenopus, is likely a heritage of the complex evolutionary history of spawning regulation, but also helps ensure a robust and reliable mechanism for gamete production.

Abstract
The king scallop Pecten maximus is a high valuable species of great interest in Europe for both fishery and aquaculture. Notably, there has been an increased investment to produce seed for enhancement programmes of wild scallop populations. However, hatchery production is a relatively new industry and it is still underdeveloped. Major hurdles are spawning control and gamete quality. In the present study, a total of 14 scallops were sampled in the bay of Brest (Brittany, France) to compare transcriptomic profiles of mature oocytes collected by spawning induction or by stripping. To reach such a goal, a microarray analysis was performed by using a custom 8x60K oligonucleotide microarray representing 45,488 unique scallop contigs. First we identified genes that were differentially expressed depending on oocyte quality, estimated as the potential to produce D-larvae. Secondly, we investigated the transcriptional features of both stripped and spawned oocytes. Genes coding for proteins involved in cytoskeletal dynamics, serine/threonine kinases signalling pathway, mRNA processing, response to DNA damage, apoptosis and cell-cycle appeared to be of crucial importance for both oocyte maturation and developmental competence. This study allowed us to dramatically increase the knowledge about transcriptional features of oocyte quality and maturation, as well as to propose for the first time putative molecular markers to solve a major bottleneck in scallop aquaculture.

Abstract
The production of Venerupis decussata relies on wild seed collection, which has been recently compromised due to recruitment failure and severe mortalities. To address this issue and provide an alternative source of seed, artificial spawning and larval rearing programs were developed. However, hatchery-based seed production is a relatively new industry and it is still underdeveloped. A major hurdle in the European clam seed production is the control of spawning and reproduction, which is further hindered by the impossibility of obtaining fertile gametes by gonadal "stripping", as meiosis re-initiation is constrained to a maturation process along the genital ducts. In the present study, oocytes were collected from 15 females and microarray analyses was performed to investigate gene expression profiles characterizing released and stripped ovarian oocytes. A total of 198 differentially expressed transcripts between stripped and spawned oocytes were detected. Functional analysis carried out on these transcripts highlighted the importance of a few biological processes, which are most probably implicated in the control of oocyte competence. Significant differences were observed for transcripts encoding proteins involved in meiosis progression (e.g. dual specificity phosphatase CDC25), WNT signalling (e.g. frizzled class receptor 8, wingless-type MMTV integration site family member 4), steroid synthesis (e.g. progestin and adipoQ receptor family member 3, cytochrome P450-C17), mRNA processing (e.g. zinc finger protein XlCOF28), calcium regulation (e.g. regucalcin, calmodulin) and ceramide metabolism (ceramidase B, sphingomyelinase). This study provides new information on transcriptional profiles putatively associated with ovarian egg infertility, and suggests potential mechanisms regulating early oocyte development in clams. Genes which were differentially expressed between stripped and spawned oocytes might have a pivotal role during maturation process in the gonadal duct and could be interesting targets for further functional studies aiming to make ovarian oocytes fertilizable.

Abstract
Fertilization is such a universal and indispensable step in sexual reproduction, but a high degree of variability exists in the way it takes place in the animal kingdom. As discussed in other reviews in this issue, recent works on this subject clarified many points. However, important results on the mechanisms of fertilization are obtained mainly from a few restricted model organisms. In this sense, it is utterly important to collect more information from various phyla. In this review, we have re-introduced Annelida as one of the most suitable models for the analysis of fertilization process. We have briefly reviewed the historical works on the fertilization of Annelida. Then, we have described recent findings on the two independent Ca(2+) increases in the fertilized eggs of Annelida, which arise from two different mechanisms and may have distinct physiological roles toward sperm entry and egg activation. We propose that the Ca(2+) increase in the fertilized eggs reflect the specific needs of the zygote in a given species.

Abstract
The European clam, Ruditapes decussatus is a species with a high commercial importance in Portugal and other Southern European countries. Its production is almost exclusively based on natural recruitment, which is subject to high annual fluctuations. Increased knowledge of the natural reproductive cycle of R. decussatus and its molecular mechanisms would be particularly important in providing new highly valuable genomic information for better understanding the regulation of reproduction in this economically important aquaculture species. In this study, the transcriptomic bases of R. decussatus reproduction have been analysed using a custom oligonucleotide microarray representing 51,678 assembled contigs. Microarray analyses were performed in four gonadal maturation stages from two different Portuguese wild populations, characterized by different responses to spawning induction when used as progenitors in hatchery. A comparison between the two populations elucidated a specific pathway involved in the recognition signals and binding between the oocyte and components of the sperm plasma membrane. We suggest that this pathway can explain part of the differences in terms of spawning induction success between the two populations. In addition, sexes and reproductive stages were compared and a correlation between mRNA levels and gonadal area was investigated. The lists of differentially expressed genes revealed that sex explains most of the variance in gonadal gene expression. Additionally, genes like Foxl2, vitellogenin, condensing 2, mitotic apparatus protein p62, Cep57, sperm associated antigens 6, 16 and 17, motile sperm domain containing protein 2, sperm surface protein Sp17, sperm flagellar proteins 1 and 2 and dpy-30, were identified as being correlated with the gonad area and therefore supposedly with the number and/or the size of the gametes produced.

Abstract
Molluscan reproduction has been a target of biological research because of the various reproductive strategies that have evolved in this phylum. It has also been studied for the development of fisheries technologies, particularly aquaculture. Although fundamental processes of reproduction in other phyla, such as vertebrates and arthropods, have been well studied, information on the molecular mechanisms of molluscan reproduction remains limited. The recently released draft genome of the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata provides a novel and powerful platform for obtaining structural information on the genes and proteins involved in bivalve reproduction. In the present study, we analyzed the pearl oyster draft genome to screen reproduction-related genes. Analysis was mainly conducted for genes reported from other molluscs for encoding orthologs of reproduction-related proteins in other phyla. The gene search in the P. fucata gene models (version 1.1) and genome assembly (version 1.0) were performed using Genome Browser and BLAST software. The obtained gene models were then BLASTP searched against a public database to confirm the best-hit sequences. As a result, more than 40 gene models were identified with high accuracy to encode reproduction-related genes reported for P. fucata and other molluscs. These include vasa, nanos, doublesex- and mab-3-related transcription factor, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors, vitellogenin, estrogen receptor, and others. The set of reproduction-related genes of P. fucata identified in the present study constitute a new tool for research on bivalve reproduction at the molecular level.

Abstract
Fertilization causes mature oocytes or eggs to increase their concentrations of intracellular calcium ions (Ca²⁺) in all animals that have been examined, and such Ca²⁺ elevations, in turn, provide key activating signals that are required for non-parthenogenetic development. Several lines of evidence indicate that the Ca²⁺ transients produced during fertilization in mammals and other taxa are triggered by soluble factors that sperm deliver into oocytes after gamete fusion. Thus, for a broad-based analysis of Ca²⁺ dynamics during fertilization in animals, this article begins by summarizing data on soluble sperm factors in non-mammalian species, and subsequently reviews various topics related to a sperm-specific phospholipase C, called PLCζ, which is believed to be the predominant activator of mammalian oocytes. After characterizing initiation processes that involve sperm factors or alternative triggering mechanisms, the spatiotemporal patterns of Ca²⁺ signals in fertilized oocytes or eggs are compared in a taxon-by-taxon manner, and broadly classified as either a single major transient or a series of repetitive oscillations. Both solitary and oscillatory types of fertilization-induced Ca²⁺ signals are typically propagated as global waves that depend on Ca²⁺ release from the endoplasmic reticulum in response to increased concentrations of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP₃). Thus, for taxa where relevant data are available, upstream pathways that elevate intraoocytic IP3 levels during fertilization are described, while other less-common modes of producing Ca²⁺ transients are also examined. In addition, the importance of fertilization-induced Ca²⁺ signals for activating development is underscored by noting some major downstream effects of these signals in various animals.

Abstract
Serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) are the two key neurotransmitters that control gonadal development in decapod crustaceans. This study investigated changes in the levels of 5-HT and DA in the CNS and ovary during different phases of the ovarian cycle of the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii. The levels of 5-HT and DA were quantified by using High Performance Liquid Chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD). Moreover, changes of vitellogenin (Vg) concentrations in the hemolymph after treatment with 5-HT and DA (at doses of 2.5 x 10(-6) and 2.5 x 10(-7)mol per prawn) were also examined. 5-HT exhibited a gradual increase in concentration in the brain and thoracic ganglia from ovarian stage I (0.12+/-0.01 nmol/mg, 0.22+/-0.01 nmol/mg, respectively) to reach a maximum (0.66+/-0.03 nmol/mg, 1.48+/-0.03 nmol/mg, respectively) at ovarian stage IV. In contrast, DA in the brain and thoracic ganglia showed the highest concentrations at ovarian stage II (0.20+/-0.01 nmol/mg, 1.27+/-0.06 nmol/mg, respectively) and then decreased to the lowest concentrations (0.06+/-0.01 nmol/mg, 0.28+/-0.04 nmol/mg, respectively) at ovarian stage IV. The ovarian concentration of 5-HT was 0.53+/-0.11 nmol/mg at ovarian stage I and gradually increased to 1.63+/-0.16 nmol/mg at ovarian stage IV. In contrast, the concentration of DA was highest at ovarian stage I (29.05+/-1.31 nmol/mg), and lowest at the ovarian stage IV (11.43+/-0.74 nmol/mg). Injecting 5-HT into prawns significantly increased Vg concentration in the hemolymph at ovarian stage IV compared to control groups, and injecting DA into prawns had the opposite effect. The inverse relationship between 5-HT and DA levels in neural ganglia and ovaries, and their opposing effects on hemolymph Vg levels suggest that these two transmitters play opposite regulatory roles in controlling ovarian maturation and oocyte development in this species.

Abstract
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) C(10)H(12)N(2)O plays a central role in several physiological processes in marine molluscs, especially in reproduction. 5-HT acts as a neurohormone to modulate spawning, parturition and meiosis by reinitiating prophase in arrested oocytes. Preliminary experiments using 10(-5)M 5-HT dissolved in aquarium water showed that 5-HT induced spawning movements in ripe clams and in both sexes of Mya arenaria while only a few males released sperm. The occurrence of serotoninergic fibers was demonstrated by PAP immunohistochemical reaction in the gonad of both sexes during gametogenesis. In an organism infected by the trematode parasite Prosorhynchus squamatus, we showed that serotoninergic innervation completely disappeared around the gonad's follicles. Although the gonad and digestive gland are intertwined, no serotoninergic innervations were found in the digestive gland. These findings suggest, for the first time to our knowledge in the soft shell clam, that serotonin might be involved in the regulation of gametogenesis.

Abstract
To analyze the process of oocyte maturation in nemertean worms, oocytes with a large nucleus (=germinal vesicle, or GV) were removed from gravid ovaries of Cerebratulus lacteus and Micrura alaskensis. Following transfer to natural seawater (NSW), fully grown oocytes spontaneously matured as indicated by their completion of germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD), whereas GVBD was reversibly blocked if the oocytes were initially placed in calcium-free seawater (CaFSW). Similarly, calcium ionophore treatments triggered GVBD in calcium-containing artificial seawater (ASW) but not in CaFSW, suggesting that external calcium influx may facilitate maturation. However, compared to the overall levels of maturation elicited by ASW, significantly higher percentages of GVBD were achieved with NSW or with ASW that had been conditioned with marine sediment. Moreover, calcium channel blockers decreased GVBD rates in ASW but not in NSW, which is consistent with the view that substances other than external calcium ions can trigger maturation. Accordingly, oocytes underwent equally high levels of GVBD when treated with serotonin (=5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT) in ASW or CaFSW. The 5-HT-induced maturation was blocked by inhibitors of 5-HT receptors but continued to occur in the presence of calcium channel blockers or the calcium chelator BAPTA. In addition, oocytes microinjected with fluorescent calcium indicators underwent GVBD in response to 5-HT without displaying marked calcium transients during confocal imaging runs. Collectively, such findings suggest that nemertean oocytes can mature via multiple pathways that may include external calcium influx or a 5-HT-induced signaling cascade that lacks prominent calcium fluctuations.

Abstract
We characterized the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) receptor mediating cilia-driven rotational movement in embryos of the freshwater gastropod Physa elliptica. In addition, putative serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), previously shown to induce other 5-HT-mediated processes in molluscs, were tested for their ability to induce rotation. As in previous studies with other freshwater gastropods, 5-HT induced a significant dose-dependent increase in rotation from 10(-6) to 10(-4) M. The 5-HT(1A) agonist 8-OH-DPAT produced a similar dose-dependent increase in rotation. However, the 5-HT(2) agonist alpha-CH3-serotonin evoked a significant rotational response only at the highest concentration of 10(-4) M. The 5-HT(2) receptor antagonist mianserin not only blocked 5-HT-induced rotation, it reduced rotation rate below that of baseline. However, two other antagonists, cyproheptadine (5-HT(2)) and propranolol (5-HT(1)), caused similar responses that consisted of an initial rotational surge followed by reduced rotation. Thus, these drugs appear to act as partial agonists. The putative SSRI fluvoxamine exhibited a significant dose-dependent increase in positive rotation as that seen with 5-HT. The SSRIs paroxetine and fluoxetine both caused an increase in rotation at 10(-6) and 10(-5) M but reduced rotation rate below that of baseline at 10(-4) M. These results agree with other studies on aquatic molluscs, suggest a 5-HT receptor with a mixed 5-HT(1)/5-HT(2) pharmacological profile and add to a now growing body of literature on the pharmacology of molluscan 5-HT receptors. In addition, all the tested putative SSRIs induced cilia-driven rotation in Physa embryos, indicating either the presence of 5-HT reuptake transporters or that these compounds act as 5-HT receptor ligands.

Abstract
During animal fertilizations, each oocyte or egg must produce a proper intracellular calcium signal for development to proceed normally. As a supplement to recent synopses of fertilization-induced calcium responses in mammals, this paper reviews the spatiotemporal properties of calcium signaling during fertilization and egg activation in marine invertebrates and compares these patterns with what has been reported for other animals. Based on the current database, fertilization causes most oocytes or eggs to generate multiple wavelike calcium oscillations that arise at least in part from the release of internal calcium stores sensitive to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). Such calcium waves are modulated by upstream pathways involving oolemmal receptors and/or soluble sperm factors and in turn regulate calcium-sensitive targets required for subsequent development. Both "protostome" animals (e.g., mollusks, annelids, and arthropods) and "deuterostomes" (e.g., echinoderms and chordates) display fertilization-induced calcium waves, IP3-mediated calcium signaling, and the ability to use a combination of external calcium influx and internal calcium release. Such findings fail to support the dichotomy in calcium signaling modes that had previously been proposed for protostomes vs deuterostomes and instead suggest that various features of fertilization-induced calcium signals are widely shared throughout the animal kingdom.

Abstract
Usually, oocyte meiosis reinitiation appears as a two step process during which release from the prophase block is followed by a second arrest in metaphase I or II. In this review, we will examine the mechanisms required to maintain the metaphase arrest and stabilize MPF activity at this stage. Then, we will analyse the processes required to exit from the metaphase block. These may drive the cells forward to the metaphase-anaphase transition, as a result of fertilization, activation or protein synthesis inhibition. Instead, inhibiting protein phosphorylation drives the oocyte back to interphase. All these treatments result in derepression of DNA synthesis.

Abstract
The transduction of the serotonin (5-HT) signal in Fundulus heteroclitus ovarian follicles leading to the inhibition of oocyte meiosis reinitiation (oocyte maturation) in vitro induced by the naturally occurring maturation-inducing steroid 17 alpha, 20 beta-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (17,20 beta P) was investigated. Steroid-induced oocyte maturation was inhibited by 5-HT in a dose-dependent manner; maximum inhibition (90%) was observed with 10(-4) M 5-HT. Groups of follicle-enclosed oocytes were cultured in the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) and treated with increasing doses of 5-HT. Serotonin was found to slightly increase the levels of follicular 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in a dose-dependent manner; 10(-4) M 5-HT induced approximately a 3-fold increase in cAMP with respect to the controls. The changes in cAMP were then evaluated in follicles treated with 17,20 beta P in IBMX-free culture media in the presence or absence of 10(-4) M 5-HT. The exposure of follicles to 17,20 beta P alone produced a small and transient reduction in cAMP (40%) within 1-3 hr of steroid stimulation, and these early changes in cAMP appeared associated with a high incidence of germinal vesicle breakdown (80% GVBD) by 24 hr of incubation. Under these conditions, treatment of follicles with 5-HT also increased significantly the production of cAMP, and when 5-HT was combined with 17,20 beta P, the steroid-mediated reduction in cAMP was prevented and the levels of GVBD inhibited by 95%. Meiosis also was reinitiated with either the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor H8 or the protein kinase C (PKC) activator PMA, and the 5-HT inhibitory action on GVBD was found to be 100-fold reduced or completely ineffective, respectively. Preincubation of follicles with the PKC inhibitor GF109203x abolished PMA-induced GVBD in a dose-dependent manner, whereas this inhibitor had no effect on 17,20 beta P-triggered meiotic maturation, indicating that activation of PKC is apparently sufficient but not necessary to reinitiate meiosis. Taken together, these findings suggest that 5-HT may inhibit 17,20 beta P-induced meiotic reinitiation through the activation of a cAMP-PKA transduction pathway and that PKC possibly induces oocyte maturation by a different pathway than the steroid and thus is not affected by 5-HT.

Abstract
Oocyte and egg are suitable model systems for studying cell division since meiotic maturation resembles a G2/M transition and early embryonic divisions are precisely timed and occur without zygotic transcription. The analysis of oocytes and eggs from different species provides the opportunity to understand the roles of proteins that the critical to the progression and maintenance of the cell cycle. Among them, cyclins are certainly worthy of investigation. Mitotic cyclins (cyclins A and B) are clearly implicated in meiosis and early embryonic cell cycles. More recent studies have revealed that G1-type cyclins (cyclins E and D) could also play a role in both processes and cyclin H has been suggesed to participate to CAK activity (cdc2-activating kinase) in oocytes. The study of cyclins in oocytes and eggs clearly offer insights into their roles during the cell cycle.

Abstract
Serotonin (5-HT) was found to inhibit steroid (17 alpha,20 beta-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one; 17,20 beta P)-induced resumption of oocyte meiosis (oocyte maturation) in vitro in the teleost Fundulus heteroclitus. Serotonin inhibited both follicle-enclosed and denuded oocytes, which indicates the presence of oocyte-associated 5-HT sensitive sites. The response of oocytes to 5-HT was characterized pharmacologically, i.e., the capacity of serotonergic agonists and antagonists to mimic or block the 5-HT inhibition of the steroid-induced oocyte maturation was assessed by the changes in the percentage of oocyte germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD). Dose-response curves for each compound were drawn and compared. The rank order of potency among the agonists was: 5-HT > 5-methoxytryptamine > tryptamine = 5,6-diHT = 5-carboxidotryptamine > 5,7-diHT = 5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine > alpha-methyl-5HT > 2-methyl-5HT. Incubation of ovarian follicles with high doses of some antagonists (mianserin and metergoline) induced oocyte GVBD, although this effect was associated with high levels of oocyte atresia during GVBD or shortly after maturation. Consequently, doses of the antagonist too low to induce GVBD were tested for their ability to block the 5-HT inhibitory action; the rank order of potency was: MDL-72222 = metoclopramide > metergoline > propanolol > ketanserin. Dopamine, acetylcholine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine could also inhibit 17,20 beta P-induced GVBD, although at doses much higher than those of 5-HT; melatonin and histamine had no effect on oocyte maturation. These results suggest that specific receptors mediate the inhibitory action of 5-HT on the steroid-triggered meiosis resumption. The pharmacological profile of these 5-HT receptors is different from those of any known mammalian 5-HT receptor, although they showed some similarities to the 5-HT1A, 5-HT2, and 5-HT3 receptors, as well as to 5-HT receptors on oocytes of some bivalve molluscs.

Abstract
Oocytes from the surf clam Spisula solidissima are arrested at prophase I of meiotic maturation, until fertilization, We analyzed the patterns of phosphorylated proteins under procedures mimicking, to various degrees, the normal sperm-induced activation process. High K(+)-seawater, the phorbol ester TPA, serotonin, or a combination of these were used to analyze their effects on both germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) and protein phosphorylation. Oocytes were preloaded with 35S-methionine or 32P-phosphate, and the pattern of labeled proteins was analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography. When comparing, in high K(+)-activated oocytes, the pattern of phosphorylated proteins with that of synthesized proteins, it appeared that these two processes were largely unrelated to one another. Activation induced by TPA was slower (60 min for GVBD) than that induced by high K+ or serotonin (12-15 min for GVBD), but was similarly sensitive to the protein phosphorylation inhibitor, 6-dimethylaminopurine, and resulted in a qualitatively similar pattern of phosphorylated proteins appearing with slower kinetics, reflecting slower GVBD. When both serotonin and TPA were added to oocytes, the kinetics of GVBD was intermediate (30 min), and so was the appearance of phosphorylated proteins. Finally, the kinetics of development of H1 kinase activities was evaluated in oocytes activated by serotonin, TPA, or both. Similar to the general pattern of phosphorylated proteins, increased histone H1 kinase activities developed to similar degrees but with kinetics reflecting those of GVBD in each case. In conclusion, activations by different artificial agents, utilizing different pathways, resulted in GVBD with different kinetics but similar overall patterns of phosphorylated proteins after a lag typical of the agent used. This suggests that diverse pathways may initially be used to activate oocytes, but that these different pathways eventually merge into a common one, resulting in a highly conserved and regulated sequence of phosphorylation processes.

Abstract
Prophase-arrested oocytes of Ruditapes philippinarum cannot be fertilised or stimulated by excess KCl, in contrast to the situation found in other bivalve species such as Barnea and Spisula. However, these oocytes can be triggered to reinitiate meiosis following treatment by serotonin or several pharmacological agents (calcium ionophores, thapsigargin, weak bases) which promote an intracellular calcium surge. Ruditapes oocytes further arrest in metaphase I, at which stage they can be activated either by sperm or by excess KCl. This suggests that functional voltage-operated calcium channels are expressed in this species during the course of maturation. Using pharmacological tools and direct binding of specific dihydropyridines, we demonstrate that these channels are L-type calcium channels which become functional after serotonin stimulation, their number increasing before germinal vesicle breakdown. Moreover we establish that: (1) the addition of 20 microM S(-)BayK8644, an agonist of L-type calcium channels, to metaphase-arrested oocytes releases them from metaphase block; (2) incubating these oocytes with PN200-110, a potent blocker of L-type calcium channels, inhibits their activation by both excess KCl and fertilisation. Taken together these data suggest that the absence of L-type calcium channels in the membrane of prophase-arrested oocytes of Ruditapes may account for their inability to be fertilised.

Abstract
In Spisula solidissima oocytes, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT)-dependent meiosis reinitiation is mediated via specific 5-HT membrane binding sites. This oocyte response is inhibited by the phorbol ester TPA. To assess whether the inhibitory effect of TPA was due to alteration of oocyte membrane binding sites, we studied their characteristics after TPA treatment. [3H]-5HT binding assays revealed that TPA decreased the affinity and, after prolonged treatment, increased the number of oocyte binding sites. Moreover, inhibitory actions of TPA on 5-HT-induced meiosis reinitiation paralleled its inhibitory effects on 5-HT binding site affinity. The inhibitory actions in biological assays were restricted to TPA (an inactive analog of TPA, TPA-met was inefficient) and were completely reversed by staurosporine. Our data thus suggest an inhibitory role for protein kinase C on oocyte 5-HT binding sites under physiological conditions.
