The <strong>de</strong>velopmental and meiotic competence of oocytes isolated from<br />

age different female donors is well <strong>de</strong>scribed. However, little is yet<br />

known about the fertilization potential of these oocytes. Therefore, the<br />

aim of this study was to <strong>de</strong>term<strong>in</strong>e the differences <strong>in</strong> the expression<br />

pattern of sperm-oocyte <strong>in</strong>teraction molecules <strong>in</strong> oocytes produced by<br />

multiparous sows and prepuberal gilts.<br />

Us<strong>in</strong>g reverse transcription (RT-PCR) and real-time quantitative PCR<br />

(QR-PCR) analysis we compared the expression levels of <strong>in</strong>tegr<strong>in</strong>s<br />

(αL, αM, β1, β6), leukocyte adhesion molecule CD18, transmembrane<br />

prote<strong>in</strong> CD9, and porc<strong>in</strong>e zona pellucida prote<strong>in</strong>s pZPs (pZP1, pZP2,<br />

pZP3 and pZP3α) <strong>in</strong> oocytes isolated from multiparous sows and<br />

prepuberal gilts.<br />

We found statistically significant <strong>in</strong>creased expression of all <strong>in</strong>tegr<strong>in</strong>s,<br />

CD9, pZP2, and pZP3 mRNA <strong>in</strong> oocytes collected from prepuberal<br />

gilts as compared to multiparous sows (P
