不同培养体系对牛体外受精早期胚胎发育的影响

为探讨体外受精早期胚胎的最佳体外培养体系,将从屠宰牛卵巢上获取的卵母细胞进行体外成熟培养、体外受精后获取的早期胚胎,分别用TCM199和mSOFaa与牛卵泡颗粒细胞和牛输卵管上皮细胞进行共培养。结果表明：TCM199和mSOFaa均能使体外受精胚胎突破8～16细胞期的发育阻断,但是囊胚发育率仅为14.3%和15.5%,差异不显著;胚胎与牛卵泡颗粒细胞和牛输卵管上皮细胞进行共培养能够使胚胎的囊胚发育率达到30.2%和33.5%,差异不显著。     

体外生产的牛胚胎超微结构研究

利用两种常规体外培养系统研究了体外培养及不同培养条件对牛体外受精胚胎早期发育各时期超微结构的影响。结果显示:体外发育的牛胚胎在发育的各个时期(从原核期到囊胚)胞质中均含有丰富的脂滴,胚胎中特别是在桑椹胚及囊胚阶段可见到一些异常细胞。两系统下发育的胚胎中脂滴形态不同,从桑椹胚阶段开始,胚胎线粒体的发育在M199 BOEC FCS培养系统中明显滞后于其在SOFaa BSA培养系统中的对照。     

牛体外胚胎高效生产技术优化研究

为了探讨小卵泡液、放线菌酮(CHX)对卵母细胞预成熟、囊胚滋养层细胞囊泡(TVS来源于体外受精培养14 d的滋养层细胞)、维生素对牛体外胚胎质量的影响。在B超仪下进行牛活体取卵(OPU),从牛活体卵巢采集卵母细胞,进行体外成熟、体外受精、早期胚胎体外培养。结果表明:10%小卵泡液及8%CHX的卵母细胞预成熟4 h组显著优于对照组;在体外受精及早期胚胎培养液CR1aa中添加10μg/m L维生素C组与TVS共培养组的卵裂率和囊胚发育率均高于其他试验组(P0.05);体外胚胎与TVS共移植受胎率显著高于对照组(P0.05)。说明活体采集的卵母细胞经体外预成熟处理,可以达到核质同期化的目的,早期胚胎的培育过程中加入TVS、抗氧化剂等可以克服早期胚胎的发育阻滞,提高体外胚胎的囊胚发育率。     

牛体外受精早期胚胎与小鼠胎仔成纤维细胞共培养的研究

探讨了人工合成培养液ＣＲ１ａａ和小鼠胎仔成纤维细胞对牛体外受精早期胚胎体外发育的影响。结果表明，牛体外受精卵在ＣＲ１ａａ液中的卵裂率达７６．２％，８细胞胚的比率达４４．８％。小鼠胎仔成纤维细胞能够显著促进牛体外受精的早期囊胚以上胚胎的发育。牛体外受精后第５、６天的早期胚胎分别与小鼠胎仔成纤维细胞共培养，在受精后第７天发育至囊胚以上的比率分别达１９．８％和２４．６％；受精后第８天，孵化的囊胚比例分别达５．２％和７．５％。实验表明，受精后第５、６天的牛体外受精早期胚胎与小鼠胎仔成纤维细胞共培养，可显著提高扩张囊胚和孵化囊胚数量。小鼠成纤维细胞对胚胎发育的支持作用取决于胚胎发育阶段     

牛体外受精技术的研究——单层细胞预培养时间对牛早期胚胎体外培养效果的影响

将2469枚经体外成熟、体外受精后获得的牛早期胚胎(2～8细胞阶段)随机放入7组不同日龄(分别预培养0～9天)的牛卵泡颗粒细胞单层细胞滴中进行“复合”培养,然后观察这些胚胎在体外培养条件下继续发育至囊胚和孵化囊胚阶段能力的差异。结果随单层细胞预培养时间的延长(0～4天内),牛早期胚胎的囊胚发育率、发育速度及囊胚胎孵化率均呈逐渐升高的趋势;尔后,培养效果又稍有下降。经统计学检验,各组间囊胚发育率(31.7～39.2%)和囊胚孵化率(61.1～72.6%)及7日龄囊胚发育比率(41.8～58.5%)均无显著差异(P>0.05)。这表明,利用不同预培养时间(0～6天)的颗粒细胞单层与牛早期胚胎“复合”培养,都同样具有促进胚胎在体外条件下发育到囊胚和孵化囊胚阶段的能力,但以使用预培养2～4天单层细胞进行“复合”培养效果较佳。     

牛体外受精胚胎卵裂阶段对其体外发育能力影响的研究

将经过体外成熟培养（ＩＶＭ）、体外受精（ＩＶＦ）后获得的牛早期胚胎，按其所处卵裂阶段的不同，划分为２细胞、３～４细胞和５细胞以上３个试验组，在体外条件下继续培养到发育囊胚和孵化囊胚阶段，以观察在胚胎早期，受精卵裂发育的快慢与其后胚胎所获得的继续发育能力的关系。结果显示，牛早期胚胎体外囊胚发育率的高低，与其在体外培养（ＩＶＣ）前卵裂发育的快慢成正比。在ＩＶＦ后４２～４６ｈ处于２细胞、３～４细胞和５细胞以上卵裂阶段的早期胚胎，其囊胚发育率分别为６．５％、２１．４％和４４．９％，差异非常显著（Ｐ＜０．００１）；而经过７～９ｄ的ＩＶＣ后仍滞留在ＩＶＣ前原卵裂阶段，丧失继续发育下去能力的胚胎比率则分别为５１．６％、３２．７％和２５．７％，与其ＩＶＣ前卵裂发育的快慢成反比。在ＩＶＦ后６６～７０ｈ仍处于２细胞和３～４细胞卵裂阶段的早期胚胎，其体外发育能力明显降低，囊胚发育率只有１．３％和８．２％；而滞留胚胎率则分别高达９０．９％和５９．４％。结果表明，牛体外受精早期胚胎卵裂发育的快慢，直接影响到其后体外发育的能力。

C型钠肽和半胱胺前成熟处理对牛卵母细胞发育能力的影响

本研究旨在探讨C型钠肽(CNP)结合半胱胺前成熟处理牛卵母细胞对其减数分裂和发育能力的影响。以常规的体外成熟24 h培养为对照,CNP前成熟(添加或不添加半胱胺)处理牛卵母细胞6 h,然后进行常规体外成熟培养,检测卵母细胞的成熟率以及体外受精后胚胎的卵裂率、囊胚率和囊胚细胞数。结果表明:与对照组相比,不论有无添加半胱胺,CNP前处理牛卵母细胞均未显著提高牛卵母细胞的成熟率和体外受精后的卵裂率(P0.05),但显著提高了受精后囊胚细胞总数(P0.05);CNP结合半胱胺前处理牛卵母细胞显著提高了受精后的囊胚率(P0.05)。由此可见,CNP结合半胱胺前成熟处理牛卵母细胞提高了其发育潜能,可用于优化卵母细胞体外成熟培养体系。     

添加不同发情时期山羊血清对牛胚胎体外发育的影响

为了提高牛体外胚胎囊胚发育率,添加不同发情时期山羊血清对牛胚胎进行体外培养。分别采集发情周期D0、D2、D4和D7山羊血清（发情当天为D0）,灭活除菌备用。结果表明不同发情时期羊血清对孤紫激活胚胎孵裂率影响差异不显著,囊胚发育率分别为29.5%、32.4%、33.9%和41.3%,D7血清能显著提高囊胚发育率（P＜0.05）,且扩张和孵化胚出现较早。添加D0血清体外受精胚胎卵裂率较高,但对囊胚发育率影响差异不显著。说明孤紫激活和体外受精胚胎发育有差异,D7血清对胚胎后期发育有利。受精胚无血清培养3d后添加D7血清,囊胚发育率为42.9%,是较为理想的培养方法。     

生物频谱对牛胚胎体外生产效率的影响

本试验利用可调式周林生物频谱发生器对牛卵母细胞体外成熟、体外受精和体外培养过程实施辐射 ,以提高牛胚胎体外生产效率。频谱发生器与培养材料的距离为 5cm ,辐射强度根据辐射温度加以调节。实验结果表明 ,辐射温度控制在 39℃时 ,入孵卵母细胞的卵裂率 ( 63% )与对照组 ( 61 % )无显著差异(P >0 0 5) ,而囊胚发育率 ( 39% )显著高于对照组 ( 1 9% ) (P <0 0 5) ;当辐射温度达到 4 0℃时 ,实验组的卵裂率仅为 1 4 % ,囊胚率为 0。体外受精生产的囊胚用EFS4 0液进行玻璃化冷冻保存 ,解冻后发现 ,整个生产过程经生物频谱辐射胚胎的体外发育率 ( 86% )显著高于对照组 ( 65% )。     

紫外线照射时间对孤雌激活和体外受精胚胎发育的影响

用核荧光染料 Hoechst3 3 3 42对 5组牛成熟卵母细胞染色后 ,以紫外线 ( UV)分别照射0 ,10 ,2 0 ,3 0 s和 40 s。观察和分析对孤雌激活胚胎和体外受精胚胎卵裂及体外发育的影响。结果表明 ,经 UV照射 0 ,10 ,2 0 ,3 0 s和 40 s的卵母细胞孤雌激活后的卵裂率分别为 80 .8% ,77.9% ,72 % ,61.4%和 45 % ,囊胚发育率分别为 3 9.2 % ,3 6.4% ,19.4% ,14 .5 %和 11.1% ;UV照射 2 0 s以上的囊胚发育率都极显著低于UV未照射和照射 10 s的卵母细胞 ( P <0 .0 1) ,UV照射卵母细胞超过 2 0 s降低了孤雌激活胚胎的体外发育潜力 ;体外受精胚胎中 ,UV照射2 0 s以上与未照射和照射 10 s组相比 ,卵裂率和囊胚发育率显著差异 ( P >0 .0 5 ) ,U V照射卵母细胞超过 2 0 s时 ,显著降低了体外受精胚胎的发育潜力。由此可知 ,卵母细胞经染色后 ,UV照射时间应控制在 2 0 s以内 ,并以照射 10 s时 ,对孤雌激活胚和体外受精胚的体外发育影响最小     

输卵管和颗粒细胞单层对牛体外受精胚胎发育的影响

以屠宰场牛卵巢为试验材料,研究输卵管细胞单层(OCM)和颗粒细胞单层(GCM)对牛卵母细胞体外成熟(IVM)、体外受精(IVF)和体外培养(IVC)后胚胎发育能力的影响。(1)从卵泡抽取卵丘卵母细胞复合体(COCs),并根据卵母细胞外面卵丘细胞的层数将其分为3类:1级(≥4层);2级(2～3层);3级(0～1层)。作分别在IVM和IVC培养液中添加GCM(1×106个/mL)与不添加的对比试验。结果显示:添加GCM对1级卵母细胞的卵裂率、6～8细胞发育率和囊胚率无明显影响(P>0.05);但添加GCM的2级、3级卵母细胞,受精后的卵裂率、6～8细胞发育率和囊胚率分别高于未添加组(P<0.05)。(2)所有卵母细胞(包括COCs和裸卵)被随机分为3个组,在其IVM和IVC培养液中分别添加OCM、GCM或不添加体细胞(对照组)。结果显示:OCM和GCM组的卵裂率、6～8细胞发育率和囊胚率均高于对照组(P<0.05),而两试验组之间差异不显著。     

Effects of Serum-Free Culture Media on in vitro Development of Domestic Cat Embryos Following In Vitro Maturation and Fertilization

This study was conducted to determine the adequate medium for a serum‐free culture system of domestic cat embryos produced by in vitro maturation (IVM) and fertilization (IVF). Cumulusoocyte complexes recovered from cat ovaries were matured in vitro for 24 h, and then inseminated in vitro for 12 h. After insemination, the oocytes were cultured in five media [Ham's F10, Waymouth 752/1 (Waymouth), TCM199, modified Earle's balanced salt solution (MK‐1) and CR1aa], each of which contained 0.4% bovine serum albumin. There were no significant differences among the rates of fertilization of oocytes cultured in five media following IVF. The rate of oocytes/embryos developed to at least the morula stage was significantly lower (p < 0.05) in Waymouth than in MK‐1, TCM199 and CR1aa. Moreover, none of the embryos cultured in Ham's F10 and Waymouth developed to the blastocyst stage. There were no differences among the rates of development to the blastocyst stage of oocytes/embryos cultured in MK‐1, TCM199 and CR1aa. These results indicate that the type of serum‐free medium has a major impact on in vitro development of domestic cat embryos derived from IVM/IVF, and MK‐1, TCM199 and CR1aa media are suitable for in vitro culture of cat embryos in a serum‐free culture system.     

水牛卵母细胞和体外受精早期胚胎端粒酶活性测定

为了解水牛卵母细胞和体外受精（IVF）胚胎早期发育过程中端粒酶的活性变化,本研究利用端粒重复序列扩增法（TRAP）进行了水牛未成熟卵母细胞,成熟卵母细胞和2～4细胞,8～16细胞,桑椹胚以及囊胚各阶段的早期胚胎端粒酶活性的测定。依据电泳条带在成像系统下的光密度值,计算端粒酶的相对活性（RTA）。结果发现,未成熟卵母细胞端粒酶活性比成熟卵母细胞高（P〈0.05）,受精后2～4和8～16细胞胚胎端粒酶活性相对较低,桑椹胚端粒酶活性明显升高（P〈0.05）,囊胚阶段达到最高水平。通过对水牛不同发育阶段胚胎细胞数计数及单细胞相对端粒酶活性的分析比较结果显示,卵母细胞的单细胞端粒酶活性最高,囊胚阶段的最低。单细胞端粒酶活性从未成熟卵母细胞到IVF囊胚阶段呈逐渐降低的趋势。这些结果表明,水牛卵母细胞及早期胚胎的端粒酶活性变化与其成熟、发育阻断及全能性的逐步降低有关。     

Different Culture Media Requirements of IVF and Nuclear Transfer Bovine Embryos

Important differences exist between in vitro fertilized (IVF) and nuclear transfer (NT) bovine embryos. Studies have shown that although in vitro development is comparable, post-implantation survival is greatly reduced in NT embryos. In this study, we compare serum and bovine serum albumin (BSA) supplementation during oocyte maturation and embryo culture of IVF and NT embryos. In experiment 1, oocytes and embryos were randomly distributed into different treatment groups consisting of synthetic oviductal fluid (SOF) medium supplemented with either serum, fatty acid-free BSA (FAF) or fraction V BSA during maturation and/or culture to assess IVF embryo development. In experiment 2, oocytes were matured in SOF + serum or SOF + FAF and reconstructed embryos were cultured in SOF + FAF to assess NT embryo development. Among the IVF treatment groups, a greater number of blastocysts were observed in the steer serum (SER) group (IVM and IVC in SOF + serum) on day 6; however, no significant differences were seen in blastocyst development from day 8 onwards. Hatching frequencies on days 8 and 9 were significantly greater in groups with serum, with the exception of FAF (IVM and IVC in SOF + FAF) on day 9. For the NT treatment groups, the presence of serum during IVM resulted in a higher proportion of MII oocytes and increased blastocyst development and hatching rates were compared with supplementation of FAF. These results indicate that both serum and FAF provide comparable embryo development for IVF but not for NT bovine embryos.     

Effect of group culture and embryo-culture conditioned medium on development of bovine embryos

We investigated the effect of group culture on bovine embryo development, and also investigated the effect of embryo-culture conditioned medium on developmental competence of individually cultured bovine embryos. Slaughterhouse-derived bovine oocytes were matured and fertilized in vitro. The presumptive zygotes were cultured individually or cultured in groups of 2 to 5 embryos with a constant culture density (5 mul/embryo). After 7 days of culture, the rates of embryos developed to the blastocyst stage were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in group cultures of more than 3 embryos/drop than for embryo culture of 1 or 2 embryos/drop. These results suggest a beneficial effect of group culture may be exerted by possible growth promoting factors secreted by embryos. In the next experiment, we investigated the effect of timing of fresh medium replacement on the development of embryos cultured in groups. The blastocyst formation rate was lower when culture medium was replaced freshly on days 2-4 after fertilization than on days 5-6. The blastocyst formation rates of single-cultured embryos were significantly (p < 0.05) increased by the addition of conditioned medium derived from multiple-embryo culture. These results indicate that group culture promotes embryo development and that embryo culture-derived conditioned medium is effective for supporting development of single cultured embryos.     

In vitro embryo production from oocytes from ovaries of a single slaughtered cow

This communication describes the in vitro maturation and in vitro fertilization of bovine follicular oocytes. Further development of the embryos was achieved by using a granulosa cell culture system. The in vitro development of oocytes to morula/blastocyst stages obtained from individual cows was compared to the results of pooled simultaneous cultured oocytes and to our over-all results of this method. While there were no statistical differences in the developmental rates between these three groups (individual cows: 28.1%, simultaneous pool: 34.0%, over-all results: 32.7%) marked differences were found between the 22 animals investigated separately. These results indicate that there were great individual variabilities due to the oocyte population comparable to the variations in ovarian response to superovulation.     

血清对水牛卵母细胞体外成熟、体外受精及早期胚胎发育的影响

从屠宰场收集了本地水牛55头、黑白花奶牛22头的卵巢共获卵泡847枚,平均每个水牛卵巢回收3.67枚可用卵母细胞,约为黑白花奶牛(10.23枚/头)的1/3。试验分别采用添加与不添加血清的培养液体外成熟培养水牛卵母细胞,结果二者的成熟率无明显毒性差异(58.23%对56.67%),但体外受精后早期胚胎发育的8-细胞率有显著差异(35.4%对23.0%),表明体外成熟液中有无血清对水牛卵母细胞体外成熟率没有影响,但血清对卵母细胞的早期胚胎发育有重要影响。进一步比较成熟液中不添加血清但在受精液及胚胎液中添加血清和在各个阶段均有血清参与的早期胚胎发育率(8-细胞率),表明二者差异不显著(33.8%对35.4%)。经无血清成熟培养液培养的成熟卵母细胞可以经孤雌激活后得到早期胚胎(4细胞)。     

绵羊卵母细胞采集、体外成熟和胚胎体外培养对体外受精技术效率的影响

利用屠宰场采集的绵羊卵巢作为试验材料,研究了不同卵母细胞采集方法(卵泡冲洗法、剖切法、注射器抽吸法和真空泵抽吸法)、成熟液中添加不同来源激素(BIONICHE或宁波激素厂生产 FSH/LH)和血清(发情绵羊血清或胎牛血清),以及mSOF和mCR胚胎培养体系对绵羊体外受精各环节效率的影响。结果表明,卵泡冲洗法获得A、B两级卵母细胞比例为77.1%,显著高于其他3种方法(P＜0.05),添加BIONICHE FSH/LH+ESS成熟液中,卵母细胞成熟率显著高于其他添加方式(P＜0.05),mSOF和mCR胚胎培养体系在卵裂率上无显著差异(P＞0.05),但mSOF组中囊胚率和孵化率均显著高于mCR组(P＜0.05)。综上所述,本研究中卵泡冲洗法更适合绵羊卵母细胞采集,成熟液中添加BIONICHE FSH/LH和ESS可显著促进绵羊卵母细胞成熟;与mCR培养体系相比,mSOF培养体系更适合绵羊体外受精胚胎的发育。     

Purification and embryotropic roles of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 in development of "HanWoo" (Bos taurus coreanae) oocytes co-cultured with bovine oviduct epithelial cells

This study was conducted to purify a tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 in a serum-free medium conditioned with bovine oviduct epithelial cells (BOEC) and to evaluate its effect on development of "HanWoo" (Bos taurus coreanae) embryos to the blastocyst stage. In the first study using SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, the presence of 32 kDa proteins, which contains TIMP-1, was detected in the medium conditioned with BOEC, and TIMP-1 was then purified from the medium by gel filtration and HPLC techniques. When examined TIMP-1 secretion, fluorescent foci indicating the secretion of TIMP-1 were found after stained BOEC with fluorescein isothiocyanate. In the next experiment, two-cell embryos derived from in vitro-fertilization were cultured in a serum-free medium, to which 0, 1.25, 2.5 or 5 microg/ml of purified TIMP-1 was supplemented. More (P<0.05) embryos developed to the morula and blastocyst stages after the addition of 2.5 microg/ml to culture medium than after no addition. In conclusion, our data indicate that BOEC secrete TIMP-1 and this glycoprotein promotes the prehatched development of "HanWoo" embryos derived from in vitro-fertilization.
