La Zona Pelúcida es la matriz extracelular que rodea a los ovocitos de vertebrados, cumple roles trascendentales en la reproducción, incluyendo el reconocimiento y unión de gametos especie-específico, inducción de la reacción acrosómica (RA) del espermatozoide, el bloqueo de la poliespermia, mantiene la integridad del embrión temprano durante su transición por el oviducto; está constituida por tres glicoproteínas: ZP3 que induce RA; ZP1, estructural, que interconecta a ZP3 y ZP2. ZP2 es la molécula de unión secundaria, interactúa con los receptores espermáticos expuestos después de RA siendo necesaria para mantener la unión del espermatozoide al ovocito, su modificación proteolítica después de la fertilización permite el bloqueo de la poliespermia. ZP2 participa también en la organización, el desarrollo y maduración del ovocito, puesto que mantiene consistente la ...

Using the primordial germ cells transplant technique, we could be able preserve and multiply pluripotent cells in the receptor for a long period of time. In this work, We aim to evaluate intraluminal colonization of a cellular gonocyte suspension from 14.5 dpc fetus. Cellular suspension with PGC's were isolated from fetus male mice by two enzymatic digestion steps, and cellular suspensions were transplanted into the rete testis of the receptor animals that were previously injected with Busulfan to decrease their own spermatogenesis. In this research the intraluminal colonization was identified in 13.27%, demonstrating that transplantation of a cellular suspension from gonocytes of fetus of 14.5 dpc containing PGCs can colonize the seminiferous tubules and support the spermatogenesis.
