Abstract

Our knowledge of mechanisms involved in the meiosis of chicken germ cells is very limited. In mammalian fetal ovaries, the onset of meiosis is dependent on retinoic acid and subsequent upregulation of the Stra8 gene. To clarify the mechanism of meiotic initiation in chicken germ cells, we investigated the role of Cyp26b1, a retinoic acid degrading enzyme. The Cyp26b1‐inhibitor, ketoconazole was used to treat the ex vivo‐cultured stage 36 gonads/mesonephroi. Then, the progression of meiosis was studied by histological and immunohistochemical analysis and the level of the transcript for Stra8 was evaluated by a quantitative reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction in individual ketoconazole‐treated gonads after 6 days in culture. The results revealed that meiosis was induced in both testes and right ovary upon inhibition of Cyp26b1 in the ex vivo‐cultured gonads, despite downregulation of Stra8 messenger RNA in the treated gonads. Also, meiosis was observed only when mesonephros was cultured alongside the left ovary. These findings demonstrate that in chicken, Stra8 is not the only factor for the entrance into meiosis, and Cyp26b1 and mesonephros play critical regulatory roles for the sex‐specific timing of meiotic initiation in birds.
