ABSTRACT
Bone Morphogenetic Protein 15 (BMP-15) was known to regulate functions of ovary
in mammals. The aim of this research was tocompare the BMP15 expression of
ovaries incow and calf todetermine a relationship between the level of BMP15 genes
and the developmental low competence of calfoocytes.Oocyte collected from 15cattle
and 10 calves. Extracted DNA by intron kit (Korea).The BMP15 expression in
Oocytes surrounded completely andpartiallyby cumulus cells of adult ovaries was
higher significantly than that incalf ovaries. Oocytepolymorphism in protein calves
compared with adults
INTRODUCTION
BMP15 geneis X-linked in oocytes expressed involved in granulose cell
regulation and differentiation by mitosis granulose cell, repression follicle stimulating
hormone receptor expression and engaged in the stimulation of kit ligand expression,
All of which contributing a significant role in female fertility in mammals (1,2).
Currently the hypothesis based on the non-covalently bond homo and hetero dimers of
the proteins BMP15 regulated the fertility in bovine (3). The biological roles of Bone
Morphogenetic Protein 15 (BMP15) are not completely understood even if gene to
regulate function of granulose cells, and the BMP15play an important role in the
process of follicular development and oocyte maturation (4). BMP15 known as
prolificacy candidate genes, play key roles in regulating ovarian functions in animals,
BMP15 mRNAs in cumulus granulose cells can be used as molecular markers
forpredicting oocyte developmental potential.(1,5).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Cattles ovaries were collected from Al-shulla slaughter, from 10 calves, 9-11
months and from 15 cattle,2-5 years. Oocyte recovery from follicles by aspiration
methods (6,7). DNA was extracted by using the standard protocol by intron kit
procedure. After extraction of genomic DNA, gel electrophoresis was used to detect
the presence and integrity of the extracted DNA and presence of PCR product. Two
conserved primers (forward primer: 5'-CTCTGAGACCAAACCGGGTA -3' and

reverse primer: 5'-CATGCCACCAGA ACTCAAGA-3') (3). thermal cycling
conditions were done as follows: Denaturation at 95 °C for 5 min, followed by 35
cycles of 94 °C for 35s, 55°C for 35s and 72 °C for 35s with final incubation at 72 °C
for 10 min using a thermal Cycler (Gene Amp, PCR system 9700; Applied
Biosystem). The Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were extracted by 2%
agarose gel electrophoresis and visualized by contact with ultra violet light
(302nm).Sequence of nucleotides of BMP-15 gene by using BioEdit program, which
was performed by National Instrumentation Center for Environmental Management
(NICEM) online at (http://nicem. Snu .ac. kr/main/ ?en _ skin =index.html),
biotechnology lab, machine is DNA sequencer 3730XL, Applied Biosystem),
Homology look for was conducted using Basic Local Alignment Search
Device(BLAST) program which was available at the National Center Biotechnology
Information (NCBI) online at (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov ).Data were submitted to
statistical analysis using chi-Square test, spss program (8).
RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The analysis of BMP-15 gene polymorphism was carried out using PCR
method. Genomic DNA of cattle was successfully amplified by pair of primer that
covers entire coding sequence of BMP-15 gene. Genomic DNA of white blood cells
was also used for amplification of BMP-15 gene using PCR specific primers. The
amplified fragment which is yielded of single band of the desired product with a
molecular weight of 350 base pair appeared sharp in agarose gel through Gel
electrophoreses technique and loaded with (100-1000bp) DNA ladder (figure 1).
Figure (1): The product was electrophoresis on 2% agarose gel at 5 volt/cm2, 1x TBE buffer for 2
hours. M: DNA ladder (100-10000bp), Lane 1-7 product for GnRHR gene of adult cow and Lane
8-15 product of calf, PCR product of band size 350bp. visualized under U.V light after staining
with red stain safe.

calves(11,12). The lower developmentalcompetence of calf oocytes may be partially
explainedby a deficiency of BMP15 in cumulus cells(13).(14)Evaluating transcript
abundance of bovine oocytes of different developmental competence found no
difference in BMP15 gene expression. The oocyte can store histone mRNA and
proteins during oogenesis (15,16). Additionally, studies have reported that a
relationship exists between the amount of histones and oocytes competence in bovine.
BMP15 were positively associated with age (17). BMP15 can stimulateoocyte
development (18)The BMP15 genes contain two exons separated by a single intron
that encode a rough endoplasmic reticulum signal peptide. The signal peptide region
was encoded by the first exon, the proregion by segments of both exons and the
mature peptide region by the second exon (19).Oocytewas a major source of both
BMP15 and GDF9 and the major target for these factors was the granulose cells (20).
