The role of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in the maturation of mammalian oocytes is well known but not well characterized. It is known that EGF enhances oocyte maturation in vitro and that EGF stimulation of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) induces pulsatile Ca(2+) efflux from the cell complex. By use of quantitative Fura-2 imaging, EGF-stimulated changes in intracellular Ca(2+) in germinal vesicle stage murine COCs are shown to occur in a subpopulation of cumulus cells that interact cooperatively within individual COCs. Oocytes fail to respond to EGF stimulus. In many of the cumulus cells responding with a rise in intracellular Ca(2+), a concomitant permeabilization of the plasma membrane is found. Neither cumulus cells of control COCs nor those that show a rise in intracellular Ca(2+) in response to calcium ionophore treatment display a similar membrane permeabilization, although those cells responding with a prolonged Ca(2+) increase in response to thimerosal or thapsigargin do display plasma membrane permeabilization. Thus, EGF stimulation of mammalian COCs activates release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores of cumulus cells, the depletion of which activates permeabilization of the plasma membrane. This membrane permeabilization leads to loss of cell contents and presumptive cumulus cell death. This catastrophic EGF-induced plasma membrane permeabilization of individual cumulus cells within a COC leads to pulsatile Ca(2+) efflux as previously seen, and may lead to improved cumulus cell expansion during COC maturation.
