Single-cell quantitative proteomic analysis of oocyte maturation revealed high heterogeneities in human in vitro matured oocytes

In this study we investigated the protein expression patterns during human oocyte in vitro and in vivo maturation (IVO) by single-cell quantitative proteomic analysis of 36 human oocytes. Among 2,094 proteins quantified in 34 oocytes (GV: 11 oocytes, IVM: 12 oocytes, IVO: 11 oocytes), 224 were differential between IVO and GV oocytes during in vivo maturation, and 61 between IVM and IVO oocytes.
