实验旨在探讨在猪精液于4℃平衡2 h过程中0.2 g/L咖啡因与精液共孵育2 h、1 h和0.5 h,对颗粒冻精解冻后精子活率、活力、质膜完整性和顶体完整性以及解冻后精子体外存活时间等指标的影响,以期进一步提高猪颗粒冻精质量。实验结果表明,在精液冷冻之前,咖啡因不同平衡时间组的精子活率和活力都呈现出升高趋势,但与对照组差异不显著;咖啡因与精液共孵育2 h、1 h和0.5 h组的精子顶体完整率和质膜完整率显著低于对照组,前3组之间差异均不显著。而颗粒冻精解冻后,咖啡因与精液共孵育2 h、1 h和0.5 h组精子活率和活力均显著高于对照组,其中共孵育1 h组显著高于其他3组(P0.05),共孵育2 h组和0.5 h组间差异不显著(P0.05);共孵育2 h组精子顶体完整率和质膜完整率显著低于对照组和共孵育0.5 h、1 h组(P0.05),但后3组之间差异不显著;共孵育2 h组精子存活时间显著低于对照组、共孵育1 h和0.5 h组(P0.05),其中共孵育1 h组精子存活时间最长,达7 d以上。总之,在精液4℃降温平衡过程中咖啡因与精液共孵育1 h对冷冻后精子质量最有利,解冻后精子活率和活力显著高于其他各组,且解冻后精子体外存活时间最长。

细胞松弛素B对猪孤雌胚胎和体外克隆胚胎发育能力的影响

为探讨细胞松弛素B(cytochalasin B,CB)对猪孤雌胚胎和克隆胚胎发育能力的影响,本研究通过在猪体外胚胎培养基中添加不同浓度CB以及不同孵育时间的处理,筛选出CB对猪早期胚胎发育的最适浓度和最佳孵育时间,同时通过Hoechst33342染色检测猪体外囊胚孵化期的细胞数差异,进一步研究CB对孤雌胚胎和克隆胚胎发育的影响。结果显示,培养基中添加CB浓度为7.5μg/mL时孤雌胚胎和克隆胚胎的卵裂率分别为85.00%和90.23%,囊胚率为35.68%和42.58%,均显著高于其他各组(P0.05);采用7.5μg/mL CB处理电激活后的孤雌胚胎和克隆胚胎,孤雌胚胎孵育4 h组的卵裂率(83.80%)和囊胚率最高(35.39%),与其他各组差异显著(P0.05),而克隆胚胎孵育6 h组的卵裂率(83.98%)和囊胚率最高(55.62%),与其他各组差异显著(P0.05)。此外,Hoechst33342染色结果显示,未添加CB处理的孤雌胚胎在囊胚孵化期的细胞平均数为28个,CB处理组的孤雌胚胎和克隆胚胎细胞平均数分别为36和52个,处理组和未处理组细胞数差异显著(P0.05)。结果表明,猪体外孤雌胚胎用7.5μg/mL CB处理4 h可获得较高的卵裂率和囊胚率;体外克隆胚胎用7.5μg/mL CB处理6 h卵裂率及囊胚率最高,且囊胚期内细胞团细胞总数最多。CB处理有利于体外胚胎早期发育,提高克隆胚胎移植受孕率。

Effects of Increased Ambient Temperature During IVM and/or IVF on the In Vitro Development of Bovine Zygotes

Previous research by this group (2003) has demonstrated that heat stress during in vitro culture (IVC) significantly increased early embryo mortality. The experiments reported here examine the effects of heat treatment (HT) during in vitro maturation (IVM) and during in vitro fertilization (IVF). One 24 h cycle of HT entailed a series of 0.5 degrees C incubator temperature increases from 39 degrees C to 39.5 degrees C for 2 h, to 40 degrees C for 2 h, to 40.5 degrees C for 4 h, 41 degrees C for 4 h, 40.5 degrees C for 6 h and 40 degrees C for 6 h. This cycle mimics rectal temperatures recorded in high producing, grain fed dairy cows in hot climates. Experiment I studied the effects of one cycle of heat-treatment during IVF on the rate of cleavage of in vitro matured presumptive zygotes. Total cleavage rate in the HT group (37.8%) was lower than that of the control group (54.6%, p < 0.05). Experiment II repeated the HT of experiment I but preceded it with a cycle of HT during IVM. The total cleavage rates for control and heat treatment groups were 75.5% and 37.9%, respectively, with a significant difference of p < 0.001 identified. Experiment III examined the rates of embryonic development to >or=8-cell stage (after 72 h IVC) and to morula or blastocyst (M/B) stage (after 144 h IVC) following HT of the oocyte groups during the preceding IVM or IVF. Rates of development to >or=8-cell stage (at 72 h IVC) and to M/B stage (after 144 h IVC) for the control group were 27.5% and 35.8%. Those of IVM-only HT and IVF-only HT groups were 13.8% and 14.6%, and 8.6% and 14.3%, respectively. Both groups of heat treated embryos developed at significantly lower rates (p < 0.05) than did the control group. These results suggest that hyperthermia during oocyte maturation and/or fertilization adversely affects oocyte maturation and fertilization rates and retards further embryonic development.     

In Vitro Development of Bovine Embryos after Fertilization using Semen from Different Donors

Contents: The aim of this study was to determine whether the semen donor and/or heparin concentration influences the rate of fertilization of bovine follicular oocytes and their subsequent embryonic development in vitro. Frozen-thawed semen from five highly fertile bulls was treated with one of four concentrations of heparin (0.5,1.0, 2.0 and 5.0 μg/ml) on a 5 x4 factorial basis in an IVM-NF programme. Zygotes/oocytes were cultured in frozen-thawed bovine oviduct cell-conditioned medium for 6 days. The use of semen from different bulls resulted in significantly (P < 0.001) different rates offertilization, as judged by cleavage rates of the oocytes at 72 h post insemination, and subsequent embryonic development through the'8-cell-block'(P < 0.05) in vitro. Development up to the morula/blastocyst stage, however, did not differ significantly (P = 0.06) among groups of oocytes fertilized with spermatozoa from different bulls. Heparin levels ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 μg/ml did not differ in their effect on in vitro fertilization as judged by the rate of normally cleaved oocytes (P = 0.14). The overall parthenogenetic division rate at 72 h post insemination was 12.4% and was not influenced by the heparin concentration. There was a linear relationship (P < 0.001) between fertility estimates based on AI and the estimates basedon the first cleavage following in vitro fertilization.     

藏红花素对小鼠卵母细胞体外成熟能力的影响

试验旨在探讨藏红花素（crocin）的抗氧化应激作用对小鼠卵母细胞体外成熟及后续胚胎发育能力的影响。在体外成熟（IVM）培养液中添加不同浓度藏红花素（0、5、10、15、20、25、30 μmol/L），小鼠卵母细胞在体外成熟培养12 h后，检测卵母细胞第一极排出情况、卵母细胞胞质内活性氧（ROS）和谷胱甘肽（GSH）含量，并进行体外受精（IVF）；体外受精后6 h统计受精率，24 h统计卵裂率，96 h统计囊胚率。结果显示，与对照组相比，10、15 μmol/L藏红花素显著提高了卵母细胞第一极体排出率（P<0.05）；当藏红花素浓度继续增加时，卵母细胞的第一极体排出率下降，30 μmol/L藏红花素显著降低了卵母细胞第一极体排出率（P<0.05）；5、10、15 μmol/L藏红花素均显著降低了卵母细胞ROS含量（P<0.05），10、15 μmol/L藏红花素均显著提高了卵母细胞GSH含量（P<0.05）。与对照组相比，10 μmol/L藏红花素组受精率、卵裂率、囊胚率差异均不显著（P>0.05），15、20、25、30 μmol/L藏红花素均显著降低受精率和囊胚率（P<0.05），对卵裂率影响不显著（P>0.05）。结果表明，在小鼠卵母细胞体外成熟培养液中添加10 μmol/L藏红花素可以显著增加第一极体排出率，显著降低卵母细胞ROS含量、提高卵母细胞GSH含量，但对受精后的胚胎发育无显著影响。

Consequences for the bovine embryo of being derived from a spermatozoon subjected to post-ejaculatory aging and heat shock: development to the blastocyst stage and sex ratio

The objective was to determine whether aging of sperm caused by incubation at normothermic (38.5 C) or heat shock (40 C) temperatures for 4 h prior to oocyte insemination affects sperm motility, fertilizing ability, competence of the resultant embryo to develop to the blastocyst stage and blastocyst sex ratio. In the first experiment, the percent of sperm that were motile was reduced by aging (P<0.001) and the reduction in motility was greater for sperm at 40 C compared to sperm at 38.5 C (P<0.01). In the second experiment, oocytes were inseminated with aged sperm. A smaller percent of oocytes fertilized with sperm aged at either temperature cleaved by Day 3 after insemination than oocytes fertilized with fresh sperm (P<0.05). There was no effect of sperm aging on the percent of oocytes or cleaved embryos that developed to the blastocyst stage. Aging of sperm before fertilization at 38.5 C reduced the percent of blastocysts that were male (P=0.08). In the third experiment, incubation of sperm at 38.5 C or 40 C for 4 h did not reduce fertilizing ability of sperm as determined by pronuclear formation at 18 h post insemination. In conclusion, aging of sperm reduced cleavage rate and the percent of blastocysts that were males but had no effect on the developmental capacity of the embryo. The effect of aging on cleavage rate may represent reduced motility and errors occurring after fertilization and pronuclear formation. Aging at a temperature characteristic of maternal hyperthermia had little additional effect except that polyspermy was reduced. Results indicate that embryo competence for development to the blastocyst stage is independent of sperm damage as a result of aging for 4 h at normothermic or hyperthermic temperatures.
