绵羊去透明带卵母细胞体细胞核移植研究

为探索简化的核移植程序,本研究分析不同成熟培养时间、去核过程中紫外光照时间、融合电压强度、激活剂种类、不同培养方法对绵羊去透明带卵母细胞核移植的影响。结果表明:卵母细胞成熟培养18～19 h后去除透明带,其极体排出和附着效果最佳。采用1.9 kV/cm直流电压融合去核卵母细胞与颗粒细胞,融合率为88.2%,效果最好。离子霉素对重构胚具有较好的激活效果,卵裂率为82.1%,囊胚率为10.4%;压制WOW(s孔中孔)发育组卵裂率和囊胚发育率与四孔板培养组相比无显著差异,但卵裂率和囊胚发育率并不高;去除透明带的绵羊卵母细胞采用衰减1/4的UV照射10 s辅助去核后,卵裂率为35.6%,但重构胚未能发育至囊胚。结果显示,通过去透明带辅助显微操作去核的方法进行的绵羊体细胞克隆程序较易掌握。     

放线菌酮处理对猪孤雌激活及体细胞核移植胚胎发育的影响

为研究放线菌酮(CHX)在猪卵母细胞孤雌激活和体细胞核移植中的作用效果,并验证其对胚胎发育的促进作用,实验对比体外成熟的猪卵母细胞经电激活后结合6-二甲氨基嘌呤(6-D)、细胞松弛素B(CB)或CHX激活后的孤雌囊胚率,及3种激活药物对体细胞核移植重构胚的发育能力的影响;在孤雌激活前用CHX预处理卵母细胞5 min,研究其对孤雌激活后胚胎发育能力的影响。结果表明:在孤雌激活过程中,CHX在激活8 h条件下囊胚率为48.0%,而CB和6-D处理4 h即可达55.2%和63.3%。而在体细胞核移植重构胚的激活中,采用CHX进行激活囊胚率为19.6%,高于CB的10.5%和6-D的16.5%,各组间差异显著(P>0.05)。孤雌激活前,卵母细胞经CHX预处理15 min可以提高CB或CHX激活的孤雌囊胚率。结果说明,CHX在孤雌激活能力较差,但对胚胎发育具有一定保护和促进作用。

绵羊卵丘细胞细胞周期同步化对核移植胚胎发育的影响

供体细胞周期同步化是影响体细胞核移植成功率的重要因素之一.试验分别对绵羊卵丘细胞采用血清饥饿和接触抑制的方法进行细胞周期同步化处理,使用流式细胞仪检测各组细胞周期的分布.结果发现,与对照组相比,卵丘细胞经血清饥饿24~72 h后,显著地增加了G₀/G₁期细胞的百分比(P <0.05);接触抑制24~72 h,G₀/G₁期细胞所占比例与血清饥饿组无显著差异(P >0.05),但显著高于对照组(P <0.05);用经血清饥饿与接触抑制的供体细胞进行核移植后,重构胚卵裂率、桑椹胚率和囊胚率差异不显著(P >0.05),但二者囊胚率显著高于对照组(P <0.05).上述结果证实,血清饥饿和接触抑制均能使绵羊卵丘细胞周期同步化至G₀/G₁,均可用作绵羊体细胞核移植的供体细胞细胞周期同步化处理.     

哺乳动物体细胞核移植胚胎发育中表观重编程的研究进展

体细胞核移植（somatic cell nuclear transfer,SCNT）是一种能将已分化的体细胞重编程为全能胚胎的繁殖生物技术,在良种扩繁、濒危物种保护和治疗性克隆等方面有着广泛的应用前景,但极低的克隆效率、克隆动物胎盘异常、出生后胎儿畸形等严重限制了该技术的实际应用。造成克隆效率低和胚胎发育异常的主要原因是供体核表观遗传重编程错误或不完全。1958年,将非洲爪蟾（Xenopus laevis）幼体肠细胞核移入去核卵母细胞,获得了第1例SCNT动物个体;1986年,通过电融合1个卵裂球与去核卵母细胞成功获得了3只存活的羔羊;1997年,将成年母羊的乳腺上皮细胞与去核卵细胞电融合,获得首个SCNT哺乳动物"多利",开启了克隆时代,目前牛、小鼠、山羊、猪、欧洲盘羊、家兔、家猫、马、大鼠、骡子、狗、雪貂、狼、水牛、红鹿、单峰骆驼、食蟹猴等相继成功克隆,其中最引人瞩目的是2018年食蟹猴的成功克隆。作者通过将SCNT胚胎与受精胚胎的发育进行对比,阐述了SCNT过程中DNA甲基化、组蛋白修饰、基因组印迹、染色体状态等的重编程过程和缺陷,并从表观修饰剂、组蛋白去甲基化酶、抑制Xist表达、补充鱼精蛋白和精子RNA方面探讨单独或联合消除表观遗传重编程障碍对克隆效率的影响。随着低样本量测序技术的发展和完善,人们能够在SCNT胚胎中检测到更详细的全基因组表观遗传修饰图谱,进一步揭示SCNT胚胎表观遗传重编程中的缺陷,为提高克隆效率提供了线索。通过上述内容的阐述,希望为后续开发联合消除多种表观遗传障碍而提高克隆效率的策略和思路。     

Effect of BCB Staining on in vitro Maturation and Development of Nuclear Transfer Embryo of Pig Oocyte

This experiment aimed to study the effect of brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) on in vitro maturation of pig oocytes and the developmental capacity of pig SCNT embryos.The cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were stained with different concentrations of BCB (13,26,39 and 52 μmol/L) for 90 min,and then we divided the COCs into BCB⁺ and BCB^- for in vitro culture 42 to 44 h.The results showed that,with the concentration of BCB increased,the staining rate (20.00%,46.39%,51.66% and 59.03%) raised gradually while the maturation rate of oocytes (74.03%,72.16%,70.53% and 48.61%) reduced,the percentages of oocytes staining by 26 μmol/L BCB for 90 min were higher than that of other groups in staining rate and maturation rate.However,the nuclear maturation rate of BCB⁺ groups were higher than that of BCB^- group.Therefore,26 μmol/L BCB was selected as the most effective concentration dying the oocytes (BCB⁺),which were used as parthenogenetic activation and nuclear transfer embryos.The cleavage and blastocyst rates of parthenogenetic activation and SCNT embryos in BCB⁺ group were significantly higher than that of BCB^- group (P<0.05),but there were no significant differences between the cleavage and blastocyst rates in the groups of BCB⁺ and control (P>0.05).Reconstructed embryos derived from the COCs stained with BCB were transferred to five surrogates,and six cloned piglets were obtained from one of the two pregnant pigs.These results showed that COCs stained with BCB was an effective method to select high-quality oocytes,which could improve the efficiency of in vitro embryo production.     

Factors Affecting the Development of Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Embryos in Cattle

Nuclear transfer is a complex multistep procedure that includes oocyte maturation, cell cycle synchronization of donor cells, enucleation, cell fusion, oocyte activation and embryo culture. Therefore, many factors are believed to contribute to the success of embryo development following nuclear transfer. Numerous attempts to improve cloning efficiency have been conducted since the birth of the first sheep by somatic cell nuclear transfer. However, the efficiency of somatic cell cloning has remained low, and applications have been limited. In this review, we discuss some of the factors that affect the developmental ability of somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos in cattle.     

亮甲酚蓝对猪卵母细胞体外成熟及核移植胚胎发育能力的影响

试验旨在研究亮甲酚蓝(brilliant cresyl blue,BCB)染色对卵母细胞体外成熟及后期胚胎发育潜力的影响。本研究利用13、26、39 、52 μmol/L BCB对成熟培养前的卵丘－卵母细胞复合体(cumulus-oocyte-complexes,COCs)染色90 min,比较各组卵母细胞的着色率、成熟率及孤雌激活胚胎和核移植胚胎的发育情况。结果表明,随着BCB浓度的增加,COCs着色率依次增加(20.00%、46.39%、51.66%和59.03%),但猪卵母细胞体外成熟率逐渐降低(74.03%、72.16%、70.53%和48.61%);不同浓度BCB染色后所得BCB⁺组卵的成熟率均明显高于BCB^-组。试验结果发现,BCB浓度在26 μmol/L时,经染色的COCs既有较高的着色率,且不影响其体外成熟的效率。基于此,研究选取26 μmol/L BCB作为最佳浓度对猪卵母细胞进行染色筛选,然后进行体外培养、孤雌激活及核移植试验。结果显示,筛选的BCB⁺组卵母细胞的孤雌胚和核移植胚的卵裂率和囊胚率均显著高于BCB^-组(P<0.05),而与对照组间无显著差异(P>0.05)。胚胎移植试验挑选BCB⁺组中发育较好的1-2细胞期重组胚对5头代孕母猪进行了移植,其中2头怀孕,1头顺利产下了6头健康胎儿。综合以上试验结果表明,利用BCB染色可作为一种有效的方法筛选体外成熟质量较高的猪卵母细胞,同时提高胚胎体外生产效率。     

A Cathepsin B Inhibitor,E-64, Improves the Preimplantation Development of Bovine Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Embryos

Bovine somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is an important and powerful tool for basic research and biomedical and agricultural applications, however, the efficiency of SCNT has remained extremely low. In this study, we investigated the effects of cathepsin B inhibitor (E-64) supplementation of culture medium on in vitro development of bovine SCNT embryos. We initially used three concentrations of E-64 (0.1, 0.5, 1.0 μm), among which 0.5 μm resulted in the highest rate of blastocysts production after in vitro fertilization (IVF), and was therefore used for further experiments. Blastocyst development of SCNT embryos in the E-64 treatment group also increased relative to the control. Moreover, the cryosurvival rates of IVF and SCNT blastocysts were increased in E-64 treatment groups when compared with the control. On the other hand, we found that IVF and SCNT blastocysts derived from E-64-treated groups had increased total cell numbers and decreased apoptotic nuclei. Furthermore, assessment of the expression of apoptosis-related genes (Bax and Bcl-xL) in bovine IVF and SCNT blastocysts treated with E-64 by real-time RT-PCR analysis revealed suppressed expression of the pro-apoptotic gene Bax and stimulated expression of the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-xL. Taken together, these finding indicate that addition of E-64 to embryo culture medium may have important implications for improving developmental competence and preimplantation quality in bovine IVF and SCNT embryos.     

卵母细胞核因子促进核移植四倍体胚胎早期发育研究

研究旨在探讨猪卵母细胞核因子在重编程过程中发挥的作用。将体细胞引入未去核的MⅡ期卵母细胞中,构建体细胞核与卵母细胞核共存的核移植四倍体胚胎。通过分析核移植四倍体胚胎的早期发育情况探讨卵母细胞核因子对核移植四倍体胚胎早期发育的影响。结果显示,核移植四倍体胚胎、孤雌二倍体胚胎及孤雌单倍体胚胎这3组胚胎的卵裂率极显著高于核移植二倍体胚胎（P<0.01）,且核移植四倍体囊胚率及总细胞数也极显著高于核移植二倍体囊胚（P<0.01）。与通过标准核移植程序构建的核移植二倍体胚胎相比,核移植四倍体胚胎具有更强的发育能力。本研究建立了一个体细胞核与完整卵母细胞核因子物质共存的四倍体胚胎模型,有助于研究供体核与卵母细胞核之间的联系,为研究核因子在重编程过程中发挥的作用提供了平台。     

Study on Oocyte Nuclear Factor Promotes the Early Development of Tetraploid Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Embryos

The study was aimed to investigate the role of porcine oocyte nuclear factors during reprogramming. Somatic cell nuclei was introduced into intact MⅡ oocytes to establish tetraploid somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos containing both somatic nuclei and oocyte nuclei. And then the influence of the oocyte nucleus on tetraploid SCNT embryo development was examined by assessing characteristics including cleavage rate and blastocyst rate. The results showed that the cleavage rate of tetraploid SCNT embryos,diploid parthenogenetic embryos and haploid parthenogenetic embryos was extremely significantly higher than that of standard diploid SCNT embryos (P<0.01). The blastocyst rate and the total number of cells in tetraploid SCNT embryos were extremely significantly higher than that of standard diploid SCNT embryos (P<0.01).Overall,tetraploid SCNT embryos had a higher developmental competence than standard diploid SCNT embryos. In conclusion, the embryonic model was established in which a fetal fibroblast nucleus and an oocyte M Ⅱ plate coexist. Tetraploid SCNT represented a new research platform that was potentially useful for examining interactions between donor nuclei and oocyte nuclei. This platform should facilitate further understanding of the roles played by nuclear factors during reprogramming.
