下载免费PDF全文 Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) can change the histone acetylation and significantly enhance the developmental competence of the pre‐implantation SCNT embryo. To select a proper histone deacetylase inhibitor to improve the success rate and potentially developmental ability of handmade cloning (HMC) embryos of miniature porcine, we compared the effect of two histone deacetylase inhibitors (SAHA vs. VPA) on HMC embryo development, their histone acetylation level and the expression level of relevant genes. The blastocyst rate and number of blastocyst cells of HMC embryos treated with SAHA (SAHA‐HMC) or VPA (VPA‐HMC) were significantly higher than those of control (Control‐HMC), respectively, but there were no significant difference between SAHA‐HMC and VPA‐HMC groups. In addition, the acetylation level (AcH4K8) of Control‐HMC and VPA‐HMC embryos at the blastocyst stage, respectively, was significantly lower than that of in vitro fertilized (IVF) and SAHA‐HMC embryos. However, the acetylation H4K8 of the blastocysts had no significant difference between SAHA‐HMC and the IVF groups. The SAHA‐HMC blastocysts indicated comparative expression levels of Oct4 and HDAC1 (histone deacetyltransferase gene) with those of IVF blastocysts. In contrast, the expression levels of Oct4 were lower and those of HDAC1 were higher in the VPA‐HMC and Control‐HMC blastocysts, respectively, compared to those of the IVF blastocysts. Our results demonstrated that the HMC embryos treated by SAHA could promote the pre‐implantation development and increase the levels of histone H4K8 acetylation and the expression of the OCT4 gene, yet decrease the expression of the HDAC1 gene to the comparable level of the IVF embryos. Our results proved that SAHA may be a better histone deacetylase inhibitor for porcine HMC compared to VPA, and furthermore, it may indicate that SAHA can effectively correct the abnormal histone acetylation during the HMC embryo development and subsequently improve the full‐term developmental potential of the HMC embryos after embryo transplantation. 相似文献

为了检测猪体细胞核移植囊胚的质量和全能性基因表达量,采用体细胞核移植技术制备克隆胚胎并于体外培养5 d后获得囊胚,对照组为从人工授精5 d后的长白母猪体内获取的体内囊胚。在高倍镜下检测两组囊胚的形态,用Hoechest 33342染色细胞核DNA,记录囊胚细胞总数;建立单胚胎cDNA的制备方法,并用qPCR检测囊胚中全能性基因(Oct4、Nanog、Sox2)的表达量。结果表明,与体内囊胚相比,猪体细胞核移植囊胚质量较差,细胞数目显著降低(分别为110±10.3和54±12.6);并且全能性基因表达量显著下降(P<0.05)。由此可见,全能性基因表达量偏低是影响猪体细胞核移植囊胚发育能力的因素之一。 相似文献

In this study, inner cell mass (ICM) cells were isolated from in vitro produced buffalo blastocysts and were cultured on mitomycin‐C treated buffalo foetal fibroblast feeder layer for producing embryonic stem (ES) cells. Among different sources (hatched vs expanded blastocysts) or methods (enzymatic vs mechanical), mechanical isolation of ICM from hatched blastocysts resulted in the highest primary colony formation rate and the maximum passage number up to which ES cells survived. Putative ES cells expressed alkaline phosphatase and exhibited a normal karyotype up to passage 7. Putative ES cells and embryos at 2‐ to 4‐cell, 8‐ to 16‐cell, morula and blastocyst stages strongly expressed stage‐specific embryonic antigen (SSEA)‐4 but lacked expressions of SSEA‐1 and SSEA‐3. Putative ES cells also expressed tumour rejection antigen (TRA)‐1‐60, TRA‐1‐81 and Oct4. Whereas in all early embryonic stages, TRA‐1‐60 was observed only in the periplasmic space, and TRA‐1‐81 expression was observed as small spots at a few places inside the embryos, both these markers were expressed by ICM. Oct4 expression, which was observed at all the embryonic stages and also in the trophectoderm, was the strongest in the ICM. Buffalo putative ES cells possess a unique pluripotency‐related surface antigen phenotype, which resembles that of the ICM. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to examine the telomerase activity in swamp buffalo oocytes and pre-implantation stage embryos derived from in vitro fertilization (IVF), somatic cell nuclear transfer (NT) and parthenogenetic activation (PA). Immature and mature oocytes, and embryos at the 2-4 cell, 8-16 cell, morula and blastocyst stages produced by IVF, NT and PA were collected and the telomerase activity was assayed by using a Telomerase PCR ELISA kit. Telomerase activity was detected in all developmental stages evaluated from immature oocytes to blastocyst stage embryos. Telomerase activity was detected in higher amounts in immature as compared with mature oocytes (p < 0.05). Embryos derived from NT showed a profile of telomerase activity similar to that of IVF. In IVF and NT embryos, telomerase activity was low in the 2-4 cell and 8-16 cell stages, but the activity significantly increased (p < 0.05) at the morula stage, reaching its highest level at the blastocyst stage. In PA embryos, low levels of telomerase activity were detected from the 2-4 cell to the morula stage, and the highest level of telomerase activity was found at the blastocyst stage. Telomerase activity in NT blastocysts is higher than that derived from IVF and the activity is highest in PA blastocysts. These results suggest that the successful reprogramming of telomerase activity in buffalo NT embryos follow a pattern similar to that in embryos derived from IVF and PA. 相似文献

为了更全面的对四倍体胚胎的发育能力进行评估,本研究利用原位末端标记(TUNEL)法检测了电融合生产的小鼠四倍体囊胚细胞凋亡情况,同时用实时定量PCR方法检测了促凋亡基因Bax和抑凋亡基因Bcl-2在四倍体囊胚中的表达。结果显示:四倍体与体外二倍体胚胎发育到囊胚的比率没有显著差别(P0.05);四倍体囊胚无论是内细胞团细胞数、滋养层细胞数还是内细胞团/总细胞数比率都显著低于体内与体外二倍体囊胚(P0.05);四倍体囊胚细胞凋亡指数显著高于体内与体外二倍体囊胚细胞凋亡指数(P0.05);促凋亡基因Bax在四倍体囊胚中的表达显著高于体内与体外二倍体囊胚中的表达(P0.05),而抑凋亡基因Bcl-2在四倍体囊胚中的表达同体内与体外二倍体囊胚中的表达没有显著差异(P0.05)。因此,四倍体囊胚质量比体内与体外二倍体囊胚质量都差,这可能是四倍体胚胎不能发育到足月的原因之一。 相似文献

Human embryos for hESC derivation are often donated at the cleavage stage and of reduced
quality. Poor quality embryos have lower efficiency for hESC derivation. However, cleavage
stage mouse embryos develop into higher quality expanded blastocysts if they are cultured
with insulin, suggesting that this approach could be used to improve hESC derivation from
poor quality cleavage stage embryos. The present study used a mouse model to examine this
approach. In particular we examined the effect of insulin on the number of epiblast cells
in blastocysts on days 4, 5 and 6 using Oct4 and Nanog co-expression. Second we examined
the effect of insulin on the frequency with which outgrowths can be derived from these.
Finally, we tested whether prior culture in the presence of insulin results in blastocysts
with increased capacity to generate ESC colonies. Culture of cleavage stage embryos with
insulin increased the number of Oct4 and Nanog positive cells in blastocysts at all time
points examined. Prior culture with insulin had no effect on outgrowths generated from
blastocysts plated on days 4 or 5. However, insulin treatment of blastocysts plated on day
6 resulted in increased numbers of outgrowths with larger epiblasts compared with
controls. 13% of insulin treated day 6 blastocysts produced primary ESC colonies compared
with 6% of controls. In conclusion, treatment with insulin can improve epiblast cell
number in mice leading to an increase with which primary ESC colonies can be generated and
may improve hESC isolation from reduced quality embryos donated at the cleavage stage. 相似文献

The present study was conducted to determine the relationship between embryonic development speed at different stages (the cleaved stage at 52 h and the blastocyst stage at 6 days post insemination) and incidences of chromosome abnormalities in in vitro produced porcine embryos. Porcine oocytes were collected from 3-6-mm ovarian follicles obtained at a slaughterhouse and matured in modified NCSU-37 medium for 44-46 h. Following in vitro fertilization with a final concentration of 1 x 10(5) sperm/ml for 3 h, all oocytes were cultured in vitro for 52 h. Day-2 (52 h after insemination) embryos were classified according to their cleaved stages into 2-cell, 3- to 4-cell, 5- to 8-cell, and >8-cell stages; these were cultured separately for additional 4 days (Day 6). The resultant Day-6 blastocysts were classified according to the morphological diameter into 3 grades: Grade A, expanded blastocysts; Grade B, expanding blastocysts; and Grade C, early blastocysts. They were then analyzed chromosomally. The 3- to 4-cell and 5- to 8-cell embryos had significantly high blastocyst development rates (46.1 and 36.9%, respectively), and these blastocysts contained significantly more cells (40.2 and 42.4 cells, respectively) than those derived from 2-cell embryos and >8-cell embryos (28.6 and 26.5 cells, respectively). The incidence of chromosomal abnormalities was significantly higher in the blastocysts derived from 2-cell and >8-cell stage embryos than in the blastocysts derived from the other stage embryos. Furthermore, the grade A blastocysts had the lowest incidence of chromosomal abnormalities (35.3%) and contained the most cells (48.7 cells). Porcine in vitro production (IVP) yielded a high blastocyst rate and an excellent embryo quality when 3- to 4-cell and 5- to 8-cell stage embryos were selected on Day 2 after insemination. The same criteria yielded a higher quality of expanded blastocysts based on the stage of embryo development and morphology. 相似文献

In mammalian preimplantation development, the first cell lineage segregation occurs during the blastocyst stage, when the inner cell mass and trophectoderm (TE) differentiate. Species‐specific analyses are essential to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that underlie this process, since they differ between various species. We previously showed that the reciprocal regulation of CCN2 and TEAD4 is required for proper TE differentiation in bovine blastocysts; however, the function of CCN2 during early embryogenesis has remained otherwise elusive. The present study assessed the spatiotemporal expression dynamics of CCN2 in bovine embryos, and evaluated how changes to CCN2 expression (using a CCN2 knockdown (KD) blastocyst model) regulate the expression of pluripotency‐related genes such as OCT4 and NANOG. The conducted quantitative PCR analysis revealed that CCN2 mRNA was expressed in bovine oocytes (at the metaphase stage of their second meiosis) and embryos. Similarly, immunostaining detected both cytoplasmic and nuclear CCN2 at all analyzed oocyte and embryonic stages. Finally, both OCT4 and NANOG expression levels were shown to be significantly reduced in CCN2 KD blastocysts. Together, these results demonstrate that bovine CCN2 exhibits unique expression patterns during preimplantation development, and is required for the proper expression of key regulatory genes in bovine blastocysts. 相似文献

The present study compared the efficiency of transgenic (TG) cloned embryo production by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) with fetal-derived fibroblast cells (FFCs) which were transfected with pEGFP-N1 to in vitro-fertilized (IVF), parthenogenetic and SCNT counterparts by evaluating the rates of cleavage and blastocyst formation, apoptosis rate at different developmental stages, cell number, ploidy and gene expression in blastocysts. In SCNT and TG embryos, the rates of cleavage and blastocyst formation were significantly lower (p < 0.05) than those of IVF controls, but it did not differ between SCNT and TG embryos. In IVF control, 86.7% embryos displayed diploid chromosomal complements and the rates were significantly (p < 0.05) higher than those of SCNT and TG embryos. Most TG embryos (79%) with FFCs expressed the gene by both PCR and under fluorescence microscopy. The expression of apoptosis by TUNEL was first detected at six to eight cell stages in all embryos of IVF, SCNT and TG groups, but the expression rate at each developmental stages was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in SCNT and TG embryos than in IVF counterparts. The expression rate in inner cell mass (ICM) of TG embryos was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than in SCNT and IVF embryos. These results indicate that the high occurrence of apoptosis observed in SCNT and TG embryos compared with IVF counterparts might influence the developmental competence. Moreover, the SCNT embryos derived using non-transfected donor cells exhibited a lower apoptosis expression in ICM cells than in TG embryos derived using pEGP-N1-transfected donor cells suggesting a possible role of negative gene effect in TG embryos. 相似文献

The present study was conducted to determine the criteria for selecting good quality embryos on Day-2 post-insemination and at the blastocyst stage. Bovine oocytes were matured, fertilized and cultured in vitro. First, Day-2 embryos were classified based on the number of blastomeres into 2-cell, 3- to 4-cell, 5- to 8-cell and >8-cell stage embryos; chromosome samples were then prepared. In the second experiment, the Day-2 embryos classified according to the number of blastomeres were cultured separately for an additional 6 days (Day 8). The resultant Day-8 blastocysts from each group of Day-2 embryos were classified into the following 3 grades based on morphology and diameter: Grade A, hatched and hatching blastocysts; Grade B, expanded blastocysts; and Grade C, unexpanded blastocysts. Chromosome samples were then prepared. The 5- to 8-cell stage Day-2 embryos had the lowest incidence of chromosomal abnormalities (13.5%, P<0.05) and the highest development rate to blastocysts (59.2%, P<0.05). Furthermore, the blastocysts derived from the 5- to 8-cell stage embryos had the largest mean number of cells (102.8+/-42.4, P<0.05), largest number of metaphases per blastocyst (9.5+/-4.8, P<0.05) and lowest incidence of chromosomal abnormalities (24.6%, P<0.05). The Grade A blastocysts had the largest mean number of cells (136.6+/-33.4, P<0.05), a large number of metaphases per blastocyst (11.9+/-5.5, P<0.05) and a low incidence of severe chromosomal abnormalities (17.3%). The results showed that, at Day 2, the 5- to 8-cell stage embryos were of better quality since they had the lowest incidence of chromosomal abnormalities and the highest blastocyst rate and the resultant blastocysts had the largest number of cells and lowest incidence of chromosomal abnormalities. In particular, selection of Grade A blastocysts can improve the development rate to term. 相似文献

The objective of the present study was to clarify the possible role of the zona pellucida (ZP) in early development of rat embryos and to determine the effect of glycosaminoglycans on the development of ZP-free 8-cell embryos before or after embryo transfer at the blastocyst stage. Eight-cell embryos were divided into three groups comprised of, 1) intact controls, 2) embryos with the ZP was removed with acidic solution and 3) pairs of ZP-free 8-cell embryos aggregated in a small hollow. These embryos were cultured in a chemically defined mR1ECM for 24 h. Developmental ability to the blastocyst stage and mean cell number in the blastocyst was lower in ZP-free embryos than in intact controls. When these blastocysts were transferred, the farrowing rate and efficiency of embryos developed to term were also lower in ZP-free embryos, but not in the aggregated ones. Supplementation with hyaluronan (HA; 63-250 μg/ml) or heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HS; 15 μg/ml) significantly improved blastocyst formation of ZP-free embryos and the cell number in the blastocyst by reducing the incidence of apoptosis. However, there were no beneficial effects of HA or HS on farrowing and newborn rates after transfer of the blastocysts. In conclusion, the ZP plays roles in maintaining successful development of early rat embryos at least from the 8-cell stage not only to the blastocyst stage but also to posttransfer stages. Glycosaminoglycans, such as HA or HS, appear to contribute to successful cleavage during early development to the blastocyst stage but may be insufficient to maintain the posttransfer survival of ZP-free embryos. 相似文献

Maturation of oocytes and the subsequent outcome of the in vitro production (IVP) are affected by the composition of in vitro maturation (IVM) medium. To determine the use of serum interfering with effects of single molecules, we aimed at developing simplified IVM medium. The experimental IVM media were: (1) M199-medium supplemented with hormones and serum (control), (2) as 1 but serum was substituted with fatty acid-free serum albumin (FAFBSA) and (3) M199-medium without hormonal and serum supplementation (M199). The quality of embryos was assessed on day 7 by morphology and cryotolerance, as well as by Terminal deoxynucleotidyl Transferase Biotin-dUTP Nick End Labeling (TUNEL) and differential staining. Results showed that the nuclear maturation was suppressed in M199 group alone. Embryo cleavage and development rates, and the proportion of quality 1 blastocysts were lower in the FAFBSA and M199 groups compared to the control. Differences in the cell allocation of fresh embryos were observed at the blastocyst stage, but not at the expanded blastocyst stage. The control group blastocysts had larger number of cells allocated to the inner cell mass (ICM), and the FAFBSA group blastocysts larger apoptotic cell proportion compared to the blastocysts derived from other groups. After cryopreservation, the reduction of ICM proportion and increase of apoptotic cell proportion of embryos were equal between the experimental groups. In conclusion, exclusion of serum from the IVM media reduces embryo development and may cause perturbations in blastocyst development. Differences in the cell allocation of blastocysts between IVM media may appear only when the developmental stages are taken into account. 相似文献

The present study was designed to investigate the cryotolerance of in vitro fertilised (IVF) mouse embryos at various preimplantation developmental stages. IVF mouse embryos were vitrified by the open-pulled straw (OPS) method. After warming, embryos were morphologically evaluated and assessed by their development to blastocysts, hatched blastocysts or term. The results showed that a high proportion (93.3-100.0%) of vitrified embryos at all developmental stages were morphologically normal after recovery. The developmental rate of vitrified 1-cell embryos to blastocyst (40.0%) or hatched blastocyst (32.7%) or term (9.3%) was significantly lower than that from other stages (P < 0.05). Vitrified embryos from 2-cell to early blastocyst stage showed similar blastocyst (71.8-89.5%) and hatched blastocyst rates (61.1-69.6%) and could develop to term without a significant loss of survival compared with those of fresh embryos (P > 0.05). Vitrified 2-cell embryos showed the highest survival rate in vivo (50.6%, 88/174), compared with that from other stages (9.3-30.5%, P < 0.05). The data demonstrate that the OPS method is suitable for the cryopreservation of IVF mouse embryos from 2-cell stage to early blastocyst stage without a significant loss of survival. Embryos at the 2-cell stage had the best tolerance for cryopreservation in the present study. 相似文献

旨在探讨初次卵裂时间对猪孤雌胚胎发育潜能及其基因相对表达水平的影响。本试验从健康母猪卵巢上抽取卵母细胞进行体外成熟培养，将猪孤雌激活胚胎分为早期卵裂组（16~22 h）与晚期卵裂组（26~32 h）统计比较卵裂率和囊胚率，并对囊胚的多能性相关基因Oct4、Sox2、Klf4等和凋亡相关基因Bcl-xl、Bax、Caspase-3的相对表达水平进行分析检测。结果表明，猪孤雌激活胚胎在16~22 h发生卵裂的为50%~60%，而26 h之后发生卵裂的不到20%，在18 h前完成第一次卵裂的胚胎囊胚发育率为79%，42 h后发生初次卵裂的胚胎无法发育至囊胚期。猪孤雌激活胚胎早期卵裂组的囊胚发育率显著高于晚期卵裂组（P<0.05）。早期卵裂组囊胚的Oct4、Nanog、Sox2、Klf4基因的表达量显著高于晚期卵裂组（P<0.05），Oct4、Sox2、Klf4基因的相对表达量极显著高于晚期卵裂组（P<0.01），Bax和Caspase-3基因的相对表达水平极显著低于晚期卵裂组（P<0.01），而Bcl-xl作为保护因子其表达量相对于晚期卵裂胚胎（26~32 h）显著上调（P<0.05）。结果显示，初次卵裂时间较早的猪孤雌激活胚胎发育潜能显著高于较晚卵裂胚胎，其囊胚多能性相关基因表达上调，凋亡相关基因表达下调，卵裂时间可作为鉴定猪孤雌激活胚胎发育潜力的重要参数。 相似文献
