These results suggest a solute specificity in the induction of CCM2, which agrees with the induction of p38 MAPK activity and phosphorylation of MAPKAPK2 described above. | |||||||||||||||

|
Though changes were not detected in localization or steady state mRNA transcript levels of CCM2 following hyperosmotic treatment, our results did reveal a significant increase in CCM2 immunofluorescence in blastocysts treated for 15 minutes in 0.2 M sorbitol (460 mOsm), but not 1.4% glycerol (460 mOsm). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
An alternative explanation for this increase in detectable CCM2 protein may be in the regulation of scaffold protein stability. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
While our study has presented a novel discovery in the induction of CCM2 in response to hyperosmotic treatment of preimplantation embryos, much work remains to fully characterize CCM2 activity and regulation during this period of development.

|
Embryo culture in hyperosmotic media increased p38 MAPK activity in conjunction with elevated CCM2 levels.
| |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
These results define the expression of upstream activators of p38 MAPK during preimplantation development and indicate that embryo responses to hyperosmotic environments include elevation of CCM2 and activation of p38 MAPK.
| |||||||||||||||

|
We have discovered that p38 MAPK activity is regulated by exposure to hyperosmotic stimuli, and that the response to hyperosmotic stress in the early embryo includes increased CCM2 levels. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
These results define the expression of upstream activators of p38 MAPK during preimplantation development and indicate that embryo responses to hyperosmotic environments include elevation of CCM2 and activation of p38 MAPK.
