The involvement of specific phosphodiesterases (PDEs) in the modulation of cAMP and thereby spontaneous meiotic resumption remains poorly understood. This work aims to evaluate the effects of cilostamide and rolipram (PDE 3A and PDE 4D inhibitors) on spontaneous meiotic resumption from diplotene arrest in rat oocytes cultured in vitro. For this purpose, diplotene-arrested cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) were collected from rat ovary. The COCs and denuded oocytes were exposed to various concentrations of cilostamide (0.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 mu M) and rolipram (0, 10, 50 and 100 mu M) for various times (0, 3, 5, 7, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 h). Cilostamide inhibited spontaneous meiotic resumption in a concentration- and time-dependent manner in COCs and denuded oocytes. Although rolipram showed inhibition of spontaneous meiotic resumption up to some extent, cilostamide was more potent to prevent spontaneous meiotic resumption in both COCs and denuded oocytes. Cilostamide significantly reduced PDE 3A expression, increased cAMP level and prevented spontaneous meiotic resumption in COCs and denuded oocytes. Although rolipram inhibited PDE 4D expression in cumulus cells, increased cAMP level but was not sufficient to prevent spontaneous meiotic resumption. We conclude that both drugs prevent spontaneous resumption from diplotene-arrest through PDE 3A/PDE 4D-cAMP mediated pathway. However, as compare to rolipram, cilostamide was more potent in preventing spontaneous resumption from diplotene-arrest in rat oocytes cultured in vitro. Thus, cilostamide could be used as a potential candidate for the development of female contraceptive drug in future.
