为了系统研究颗粒细胞对水牛卵母细胞体外成熟的影响,使用颗粒细胞条件液处理或单层颗粒细胞和卵母细胞共培养的方法,探讨颗粒细胞共培养对水牛卵母细胞体外成熟和早期胚胎发育的影响。结果显示,添加颗粒细胞传代接种第2天收集的20%颗粒细胞条件液到水牛卵母细胞成熟液中能显著提高水牛卵母细胞体外成熟率和囊胚发育率(P<0.05);然而单层颗粒细胞却显著抑制水牛卵母细胞体外成熟和早期胚胎发育(P<0.05)。结果表明,与单层颗粒细胞共培养相比,与颗粒细胞条件液共培养更有利于水牛卵母细胞体外成熟和早期胚胎发育。本研究为水牛卵母细胞体外成熟培养体系的完善提供一定理论依据。  相似文献

Effects of oxygen (O2) tension in the gas atmosphere during in vitro maturation (IVM), in vitro fertilization (IVF) and in vitro culture (IVC) on the efficiency of in vitro production of mouse embryos were examined. Mouse oocytes recovered from large antral follicles were subjected to IVM in Waymouth medium for 15, 16 and 17 hr under 5 or 20% O2 and then subjected to IVF and IVC under 5 or 20% O2 tension. Lowering the O2 tension in the gas atmosphere for IVM from 20 to 5% improved the cleavage rate after IVF when the oocytes were subjected to IVM for 15 hr; however, no improvement in the cleavage rate was observed when the culture period for IVM was extended to 16 and 17 hr. Lowering the O2 tension to 5% for IVM and IVC improved the development of the cleaved oocytes to the blastocyst stage, regardless of the culture period for IVM. However, the O2 tension for IVF had no remarkable effect on the subsequent embryonic development. These results demonstrate that 5% O2 is superior to 20% O2 for IVM and IVC, and suggest that 20% O2 for IVM may delay oocyte maturation and/or the acquisition of fertilizability and impair the developmental competence of oocytes.  相似文献

This study was undertaken to examine pre- and postimplantation developmental potency of cryopreserved embryos that had undergone in vitro growth (IVG), maturation (IVM) and fertilization (IVF) of oocytes from the preantral follicle stage. An oocyte culture system for IVG and IVM was used in oocyte-granulosa cell complexes (OGCs) derived from preantral follicles in 12-day-old mice. The rate of oocyte maturation was improved by the addition of gonadotropins (FSH/LH) and cytokines (IGF-I/SCF) to culture medium for IVG. During culture for IVG, estradiol-17β and progesterone concentrations increased progressively to the latter period of culture. This culture system enabled IVG, IVM, IVF and pre- and postimplantation development. From 90 cryopreserved 2-cell stage embryos transferred into recipients after warming, 10 live pups were produced. Cryopreservation of embryos by vitrification at the 2-cell stage showed no harmful effect on development to the blastocyst stage or on the cell numbers of the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE). This study demonstrated that embryos derived from oocytes grown in vitro have tolerance for vitrification and competence to develop to term after warming. This IVG-IVM-IVF technology combined with embryo cryopreservation might be useful for assisted reproduction in mice.  相似文献

In vitro maturation (IVM) is an important reproductive technology used to produce embryos in vitro. However, the developmental potential of oocytes sourced for IVM is markedly lower than those matured in vivo. Previously, NAD+-elevating treatments have improved oocyte quality and embryo development in cattle and mice, suggesting that NAD+ is important during oocyte maturation. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of nicotinic acid (NA), nicotinamide (NAM) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) on oocyte maturation and subsequent embryo development. Porcine oocytes from small antral follicles were matured for 44 h in a defined maturation medium supplemented with NA, NAM and resveratrol or NMN. Mature oocytes were artificially activated and presumptive zygotes cultured for 7 days. Additionally, oocytes were matured without treatment then cultured for 7 days with NMN. Supplementing the IVM medium with NA improved maturation and blastocyst formation while NAM supplementation improved cleavage rates compared with untreated controls. Supplementing the IVM or embryo culture media with NMN had no effect on maturation or embryo development. The results show that supplementing the maturation medium with NA and NAM improved maturation and developmental potential of porcine oocytes.  相似文献

The present study was conducted to examine the supplemented effect of cumulus cell masses (CCMs) derived from middle follicle (MF; 3–6 mm diameter) on the morphology and the meiotic or developmental competence of oocytes from small follicles (SF; 1–2 mm diameter). The number of cumulus cells surrounding oocytes just after collection was also lower in cumulus–oocyte complexes (COCs) from SF than MF. The ooplasmic diameter of oocytes was significantly smaller in SF‐derived oocytes than MF‐derived ones before and after in vitro maturation (IVM), whereas the diameter significantly increased during the culture. Co‐culture of SF‐derived COCs with MF‐derived CCMs during IVM significantly improved the meiotic competence of the oocytes to the metaphase‐II stage. Furthermore, the ooplasmic diameter of SF‐derived COCs during IVM was increased to the similar size of MF‐derived those in the presence of MF‐derived CCMs. The abilities of oocytes to be penetrated, to form male pronuclear formation and to cleave or develop to the blastocyst stage were not affected by the co‐culture with CCMs. Electrophoretic analysis of CCM secretions clearly showed the presence of more protein(s) approximately 27.6 kDa in the conditioned medium when supplemented with MF‐derived CCMs. In conclusion, we demonstrate that supplementation with MF‐derived CCMs improves the ooplasmic diameter and meiotic competence of SF‐derived oocytes.  相似文献

The coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a potent antioxidant with critical protection role against cell oxidative stress, caused by the mitochondrial dysfunction. This study evaluated the effects of CoQ10 supplementation to in vitro maturation (IVM) or embryo culture media on the maturation, fertilization and subsequent embryonic development of pig oocytes and embryos. Maturation (Experiment 1) or embryo culture (Experiment 2) media were supplemented with 0 (control), 10, 25, 50 and 100 μM CoQ10. The addition of 10–50 μM CoQ10 to the IVM medium did not affect the percentage of MII oocytes nor the fertilization or the parameters of subsequent embryonic development. Exogenous CoQ10 in the culture medium neither did affect the development to the 2–4‐cell stage nor rates of blastocyst formation. Moreover, the highest concentration of CoQ10 (100 μM) in the maturation medium negatively affected blastocyst rates. In conclusion, exogenous CoQ10 supplementation of maturation or embryo culture media failed to improve the outcomes of our in vitro embryo production system and its use as an exogenous antioxidant should not be encouraged.  相似文献

In order to study in more detail the functional significance of the granulosa cell reaction for the in vitro oocyte maturation in the pig, 412 oocytes taken from Graafian follicles and 510 taken from tertiary follicles were grown on different culture media. 147 oocytes, which during in vitro maturation showed a granulosa cell reaction, were transplanted and were utilized to study their embryonic developmental potentialities. It was possible to induce the granulosa cell reaction in about two-thirds of oocytes by the addition of the fluid taken from Graafian follicles. Denudation of oocytes led to a severe inhibition of maturation. Only one-third of the transplanted oocytes showed normal embryonic developmental potentialities. The findings suggest that maturation of the oocyte nucleus is related directly to the granulosa cell reaction, while the maturation of the cytoplasm is independent of it.  相似文献

In vitro oocyte maturation can be influenced by oocyte source and maturation media composition. The aim of the present study was to compare the efficiency of a defined in vitro maturation medium (TCM199 supplemented with cysteamine and epidermal growth factor; Cys + EGF) with an undefined medium (TCM199 supplemented with follicle-stimulating hormone and follicular fluid; FSH + FF) for in vitro production (IVP) of ovine embryos, using oocytes obtained by laparoscopic ovum pick-up from FSH-stimulated [n=11; 158 cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs)] and non-stimulated (n=16; 120 COCs) live ewes, as well as abattoir-derived oocytes (170 COCs). The produced blastocysts were vitrified and some of them were transferred to synchronized recipients. The best and the worst final yields of embryo IVP observed in this study were obtained using oocytes from FSH-stimulated ewes matured in FSH + FF (41.3%; 33/80) and in Cys + EGF (19.2%; 15/78) medium, respectively (p<0.01). No significant differences between both media were attained in the blastocyst development rate or in the final yield of embryo IVP using oocytes from non-stimulated ewes or abattoir-derived oocytes. The overall in vivo survival rate of the transferred vitrified blastocysts was 13.1% (8/61), without significant differences between oocyte sources or maturation media. In conclusion, under the experimental conditions of the present study, TCM199 supplemented with cysteamine and EGF is a convenient defined maturation medium for IVP of embryos from oocytes of live non-stimulated ewes or from oocytes of abattoir-derived ovaries. However, the best final yield of embryo IVP observed in this study was attained when oocytes came from FSH-stimulated donors and TCM199 was supplemented with FSH and follicular fluid.  相似文献

In micromanipulation experiments using immature oocytes, final ooplasmic maturation is often compromised because the oocytes are usually first freed from their nurturing cumulus cells. This study was undertaken to determine whether cumulus-free in vitro maturation (IVM) in mice could be improved by modifying IVM medium having defined components. Cumulus-free germinal vesicle (GV) stage oocytes were subjected to IVM in either alphaMEM medium, TYH medium, or a 1:1 mixture of the two (termed TaM). TYH medium produced a better maturation rate (181/196; 92.3%) than alphaMEM (184/257; 71.6%). However, alphaMEM supported better embryo development to the morula/blastocyst stage than TYH following in vitro fertilization (93.3% vs. 76.5%) or parthenogenetic activation (82.4% vs. 60.4%). Mitochondrial distribution in MII oocytes was diffuse following IVM in alphaMEM, but was aggregated with TYH. The maturation promoting factor (MPF) activity in MII oocytes was significantly higher in TYH than in alphaMEM (P<0.05). Oocytes cultured in TaM had intermediate characteristics and essentially resembled in vivo matured oocytes, with the mitochondrial distribution pattern being most typical of that condition. The highest rate of development from GV oocytes to full-term fetuses following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer to foster mothers (23.8%) was obtained using TaM. When this IVM system was applied to MI oocytes injected with spermatocytes, offspring were first obtained without cytoplasmic replacement at MII. Thus, optimization of the culture medium can considerably improve the quality of cumulus-free oocyte IVM in mice.  相似文献

Theca cells (TCs) play a key role in follicular growth and atresia. TCs synthesize androgens that act as substrate for granulosa cells (GCs) aromatization to estrogens needed for oocyte maturation. However, the effects of TCs in the form of conditioned medium on in vitro maturation (IVM) and developmental competence of buffalo oocytes remain unclear. In the present study, we examined the impacts of TC-conditioned medium (TCCM) on maturation efficiency and embryo development of buffalo oocytes after parthenogenic activation (PA). Our results showed that TCCM that was collected on day 2 and added to IVM medium at a 20% proportional level (2 days & 20%) exerted no significant effect on IVM rate (43.06% vs. 44.71%), but significantly (p  < .05) enhanced embryo development (oocyte cleavage, 80.93% vs. 69.66%; blastocyst formation, 39.85% vs. 32.84%) of buffalo oocytes after PA compared with the control group. However, monolayer TC significantly (p < .05) promoted both maturation efficiency (48.84% vs. 44.53%) and embryo development (oocyte cleavage, 80.39% vs. 69.32%; blastocyst formation, 35.38% vs. 29.25%) of buffalo oocytes after PA compared to that in the control group. Furthermore, TCs secreted some testosterone into the conditioned medium, which significantly (p < .05) promoted the expression levels of oestrogen synthesis-related genes (CYP11A1, CYP19A1 and 17β-HSD) in buffalo cumulus–oocyte complexes (COCs). Our study indicated that TCCM (2 days & 20%) did not significantly affect IVM efficiency, but enhanced embryo developmental competence of oocytes after PA principally by stimulating the secretion of testosterone and facilitating estradiol synthesis of buffalo COCs.  相似文献

The Vietnamese Ban pig is a precious genetic resource that needs to be preserved. In vitro embryo production from in vitro matured (IVM) oocytes is an important tool for the utilization of cryopreserved porcine sperm. The aim of this study was to compare two media for the IVM of Ban pig oocytes. Immature oocytes were subjected to IVM either in a non‐defined (TCM‐199 + pig follicular fluid) or in a defined base medium (POM + epidermal growth factor). At the end of IVM, the oocytes were in vitro fertilized (IVF) with frozen Ban sperm. Ten hours after IVF, the oocytes were either subjected to orcein staining to check fertilization and maturation status or cultured in vitro for 7 days. There was no difference between the two IVM media in terms of percentages of oocyte maturation and blastocyst production. However, the percentage of male pronuclear formation after IVF and the total cell numbers in blastocysts were higher with the defined system. Zygotes obtained by the two IVM systems survived vitrification at similar rates. In conclusion, the two IVM systems were both effective for the production of Ban pig embryos; however, better embryo quality was achieved with the defined one.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to improve cytoplasmic maturation of porcine oocytes by the addition of lycopene into in vitro maturation (IVM) media. We designed six experimental groups; IVM medium was supplemented with 10 IU/ml FSH, FSH and 10 IU/ml human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), or FSH and 7 μm lycopene in the first half of the IVM culture (0–22 h) followed by further culture (22–44 h) with or without hCG. The addition of lycopene into IVM media delayed the interruption of communication between an oocyte and the cumulus cells. Although meiotic competence was similar among the six groups, the glutathione level of matured oocytes was significantly higher in the lycopene‐supplemented group (9.89 pmol per oocyte) than that in other groups (7.25 and 7.81 pmol per oocyte). Fertilization rate was significantly improved in lycopene‐supplemented groups (58.3%) more than that in the group supplemented with FSH only (43.1%), whereas there were no differences in developmental competence among the groups (blastocyst rate: 20.1–29.5%). These results indicate that insufficient cytoplasmic maturation during conventional IVM resulted by disconnection of the gap junction between an oocyte and the cumulus cells in the early phase during IVM culture. We concluded that lycopene induced a prolonged sustainment of gap junctional communication between an oocyte and the cumulus cells during porcine IVM culture, which was an effective cytoplasmic maturation of porcine IVM oocytes.  相似文献

胰岛素对犬卵母细胞体外成熟的影响   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0  
研究不同浓度胰岛素及不同培养时间对犬卵母细胞体外成熟率的影响,为改善犬卵母细胞体外培养体系提供参考,采用切割法收集卵巢表面卵丘—卵母细胞复合体(cumulus oocyte complexes, COCs),在含有0.6%葡萄糖的TCM199中添加不同浓度的胰岛素（0、3、6、9 IU/mL）,38.5 ℃、5% CO2培养箱内成熟培养,观察卵丘扩散程度,剥离卵丘细胞获得裸卵后,室温下固定15 min;Hoechst 33342染色,压片,荧光显微镜下观察核形态,用SPSS 14.0软件统计试验数据。不同浓度胰岛素培养48 h后,各组卵丘细胞扩散效果都不明显;卵母细胞核成熟期没有达到减数分裂中期（MⅡ）,但是6 IU/mL胰岛素组生发泡破裂期（GVBD）比率（35.88%±14.63%）显著高于对照组（11.25%±9.75%）;6 IU/mL胰岛素组延长培养时间至72和96 h后,MⅠ-MⅡ期卵母细胞成熟率分别为13.33%±1.5%、20.8%±1.9%。以上结果表明,犬体外成熟培养基中添加胰岛素既没有提高犬卵母细胞核成熟到MⅡ期,也没有改善犬卵母细胞卵丘扩散效果。但是,在6 IU/mL浓度下延长培养时间,相对增加了成熟率。  相似文献

The reproductive performance of dairy cows may be improved by feeding conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplements during early lactation. The mechanism of action of t10,c12 CLA is not clearly known. Our objective was to investigate the effect of t10,c12 CLA on oocyte maturation and lipid composition of cumulus oocyte complexes (COC). The developmental potential of oocytes incubated in in vitro maturation (IVM) medium supplemented with t10,c12 CLA to the blastocyst stage and embryo quality were also assessed. In experiment 1, abattoir-derived oocytes were matured in TCM199 + 10% serum supplemented with 100 μM t10,c12 CLA (t10,c12 CLA n = 672) or without it (control n = 672). Mature oocytes were either stained for chromatin configuration or inseminated and cultured for embryo development assessment. In experiment 2, COC and IVM culture media were subjected to fatty acid (FA) analysis prior and after maturation with t10,c12 CLA or without it (control). Total lipids and FA profiles in oocytes, cumulus cells and culture media were determined by gas chromatography. t10,c12 CLA supplementation to IVM medium improved (p = 0.05) embryo quality evaluated morphologically. This effect was associated with t10,c12 CLA presence (3.1 ± 0.7%, p = 0.04) and lower levels of arachidonic acid in FA profile of t10,c12 CLA mature oocytes (immature oocytes = 4.4 ± 1.9%, t10,c12 CLA mature oocytes = 1.0 ± 0.7%, p = 0.05). Differences in myristic and eicotrienoic acids, saturated and unsaturated FA concentrations between oocytes and cumulus cells were detected (p ≤ 0.05). In conclusion, the presence of t10,c12 CLA during maturation interfered on lipid metabolism improving bovine oocyte competence to develop into higher quality embryos.  相似文献

Studies were conducted to examine the possibility of preserving slaughterhouse‐derived buffalo ovaries at 4°C for 0 (control), 12 and 24 h to maintain the developmental competence of the oocytes (experiment 1), to assess the effect of incubation temperature during oocyte maturation on rates of in vitro maturation (IVM) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) of buffalo oocytes and embryo development (experiment 2), and to examine the effect of storage at 25°C for 0 (control), 4 and 8 h of frozen–thawed buffalo sperm and BO and H‐TALP as sperm processing and fertilization media on cleavage and embryo development in vitro of buffalo oocytes (experiment 3) in order to optimize the IVF technology in buffalo. Results suggested that storage of ovaries at 4°C for 12 or 24 h significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the developmental potential of oocytes. Incubation temperatures during the IVM influenced the fertilization rate but had no significant effect on maturation and subsequent embryo development. The incubation temperature of 38.5°C during IVM was found to be optimum for embryo production in vitro. Storage of frozen–thawed sperm at 25°C for 8 h significantly (p < 0.05) decreased its ability to cleave the oocytes. Sperm processed in BO medium had significantly (p < 0.05) higher ability to cleave the oocytes than the H‐TALP medium.  相似文献

Two groups of mouse preantral follicles with diameters of 125-150 and 151-175 microm were cultured individually for 6 days in a medium supplemented with FSH and fetal calf serum to determine their in vitro growth characteristics. Their oocyte capacity for maturation and development to the blastocyst stage following in vitro fertilization was also assessed. Antral formation rate at the end of culture was higher in the follicles of 151-175 microm (89%) than 125-150 microm (76%). The timing of antrum formation was different between the two follicle categories: most 151-175 microm follicles formed antra earlier than 125-150 microm follicles (days 4 and 5 vs. 5 and 6). However, follicle diameters at the time of antrum formation were the same regardless of the initial size and the culture period. Maturation rates of the oocytes derived from both categories of in vitro grown follicles (70 and 62%) were not different from those of oocytes from in vivo grown follicles (74%). The in vitro derived oocytes, however, showed less cleavage (30 and 35%) than the in vivo derived oocytes (89%). Although the oocytes from both follicle categories developed to the morula stage after in vitro fertilization, blastocysts were only obtained from oocytes derived from the 151-175 microm category. These results demonstrate that an individual follicle culture system using a medium with FSH and fetal calf serum supports in vitro growth of mouse preantral follicles with diameters of 151-175 microm to the preovulatory stage, and that their oocytes have the capability to develop to the blastocyst stage.  相似文献

Primiparous sows (n = 36) were used to evaluate the effects of dietary lysine intake in lactation on follicular development and oocyte maturation after weaning. Sows were assigned randomly to one of three diets containing .4% (low lysine, LL), 1.0% (medium lysine, ML), or 1.6% (high lysine, HL) total lysine. All diets contained 2.1 Mcal NE/kg and exceeded NRC (1988) requirements for all other nutrients. Actual lysine intakes over an 18-d lactation were 16, 36, and 56 g/d for sows consuming LL, ML, and HL, respectively. Ovarian data were analyzed for sows determined to have been slaughtered during the first proestrus period after weaning, using previously established criteria. Compared with sows fed ML and HL, sows fed LL tended to have lower uterine weight, follicular fluid volume, and follicular fluid (FF) estradiol (E2) content (P < .15), but similar ovarian weight and follicular fluid IGF-I concentration. Within the largest 15 preovulatory follicles, sows fed LL had a lower percentage of large (> or = 7.0 mm) follicles (33 vs 50 and 58%; P < .01) and a higher percentage of medium (5.5 to 7.0 mm) follicles (62 vs 44 and 39%; P < .01) but a similar percentage of small (< or = 5.5 mm) follicles (4.4 vs 5.9 and 3.7%; P > .15), respectively, compared with sows fed ML or HL. Standardized pools of oocytes aspirated from follicles of prepubertal gilts were incubated for 44 h with pooled FF recovered from the largest 15 follicles of each experimental sow. Fewer oocyte nuclei matured to metaphase II of meiosis when cultured with FF recovered from sows fed LL, than from sows fed ML or HL (47.1 vs 59.8 and 63.8%, respectively; P < .01). Our results suggest that low lysine (protein) intake in primiparous lactating sows impaired follicular development and reduced the ability of follicles to support oocyte maturation. However, high compared with medium lysine (protein) intake had no further positive effects on ovarian function.  相似文献
