Although evidences showed that histone deacetylation plays an important role in the mitotic and meiotic cell cycle, but the mechanisms are still unclear. Level of histone acetylation can be easily changed by deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) i.e trichostatin A (TSA) and valporic acid. In this study, we determined whether the inhibition of histone deacetylation by TSA could affect porcine oocyte maturation and aging process. Our results showed that treated COCs with 100 nM TSA significantly increase the GVBD in each time group than 0, 5, 50 nM but no significantly different from that of higher concentration (200 nm or 300 nM). No significant differences on maturation, blastocyst development, MAPK pattern and expressions of apoptosis gene when treated oocytes with 100 nM TSA for the first 24h of IVM compared with control and 5, 50 nM TSA. However, in the oocytes treated with 200 nM and 300 nM TSA for first 24 h, MAPK significantly decreased and abnormal spindle were observed. But, in prolonged (64 h) of TSA treated group has no significantly different in control. Another data observed that after 24h TSA-treat to prolonged group were significantly decreased of MAPK activation and normal spindle than the other group. We concluded that TSA played a critical role in meiotic progression in porcine oocytes through the regulation of arrest GVBD, which prolonging the in vitro maturation time, but unaffected the subsequent pre-implantation embryo developmental potential and embryonic qualities. Moreover, the histone deacetylase inhibitor TSA may artificially control porcine oocyte maturation time and delay porcine oocyte aging process.
