绵羊裸卵与卵丘-卵母细胞共培养对体外成熟及孤雌发育的影响

本研究探讨了在绵羊卵母细胞体外成熟过程中裸卵(DO)与卵丘-卵母细胞复合体(COCs)共培养对成熟质量及后期发育的影响。试验分3组:对照组(COCs);COCs与DO共培养组(CODO)和裸卵组(DO)。结果表明:对照组中COCs与CODO组中COCs的活率和极体排出率差异均不显著(P>0.05),而CODO组中COCs的极体排出率却显著高于该组中的裸卵(P<0.05);CODO组中裸卵与DO组中裸卵在极体率方面差异不显著(P>0.05),但在活率方面CODO组中的裸卵却显著高于DO组(P<0.05)。虽然3组卵裂率之间差异均不显著(P>0.05),而就囊胚率而言,对照组中COCs与CODO组中COCs之间囊胚率差异不显著(P>0.05),但都显著高于CODO和DO 2组中的裸卵(P<0.05);此外,DO组裸卵的囊胚率显著低于CODO组中的裸卵(P<0.05)。总之,在体外成熟共培养过程中,裸卵对COCs的成熟和后期发育影响不大;而COCs则可以显著提高裸卵的成熟率和后期发育潜力。     

卵丘细胞对猪卵母细胞成熟及发育的影响

本实验旨在研究有无卵丘细胞对卵母细胞成熟及其胚胎发育能力的影响。实验分别设裸卵组、卵丘细胞与卵母细胞共培养组、卵丘-卵母细胞复合体(COCs)组(对照组),检测猪成熟卵母细胞的存活率、极体率、孤雌激活后的卵裂率、囊胚率及各组卵母细胞的谷胱甘肽合成相关基因的表达。结果表明:COCs组卵母细胞经体外培养42 h后其存活率最高(95.76%),高于裸卵组(P<0.05)和共培养组(P>0.05);COCs组第一极体排出率为71.77%,高于共培养组和裸卵组(P<0.05);COCs组在后期发育中卵裂率与囊胚率高于共培养组和裸卵组(P<0.05),而共培养组的卵裂率及囊胚率高于裸卵组(P<0.05);与COCs组相比,裸卵组显著下调了GCLM、GCLC的表达(P<0.05),共培养组中GCLM的表达与COCs组无显著差异。研究结果显示,卵丘细胞对卵母细胞的成熟及发育均有显著影响,在卵母细胞成熟过程中,卵母细胞与卵丘细胞的缝隙连接受损会对卵母细胞的成熟效率产生影响,并且在卵母细胞后期发育中,缝隙连接的完整性与否会影响后期发育能力,并可推论出随着卵丘细胞的减少和缝隙连接的破坏,会造成谷胱甘肽合成基因表达降低,从而影响卵母细胞内的谷胱甘肽合成。     

卵丘细胞对猪卵母细胞体外成熟发育及GPX3、GPX4基因表达的影响

为了深入探讨卵丘细胞对猪卵母细胞成熟和胚胎发育的影响机制,试验设置裸卵(卵母细胞)组、共培养(卵丘细胞和裸卵母细胞)组和卵丘-卵母细胞复合体(COCs)组,将3组的猪卵母细胞体外成熟培养后,检测3组猪卵母细胞的存活率、第一极体排出率、卵裂率、囊胚率等指标,及每组卵母细胞内谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量,并利用RT-qPCR技术测定了每组卵母细胞内与谷胱甘肽合成代谢相关的关键基因GPX3、GPX4的表达水平,最终从生化和分子水平揭示卵丘细胞影响猪卵母细胞成熟和胚胎发育的机制。结果表明:COCs组的存活率、第一极体排出率、卵裂率及囊胚率均显著高于裸卵组(P0.05);共培养组第一极体排出率、卵裂率和囊胚率显著低于COCs组(P0.05),但卵裂率、囊胚率显著高于裸卵组(P0.05),存活率和第一极体排出率与裸卵组差异不显著(P0.05);共培养组卵母细胞谷胱甘肽含量显著低于COCs组(P0.05),但GPX3、GPX4基因的表达量与COCs组差异不显著(P0.05);裸卵组谷胱甘肽含量和GPX3、GPX4基因表达量均显著低于COCs组(P0.05)。说明在猪卵母细胞成熟过程中,卵丘细胞不仅影响卵母细胞内谷胱甘肽的含量,而且对谷胱甘肽合成代谢相关基因GPX3、GPX4的表达也有显著影响,进而影响卵母细胞成熟质量和胚胎发育效果。

试验以牛卵泡内卵丘-卵母细胞复合体(COCs)为材料,探讨了牛卵丘细胞包裹程度对卵母细胞体外成熟(IVM)和孤雌胚胎(PAEs)发育的影响。试验1,将COCs随机分为2组,在开展IVM前,将其中一组COCs的卵丘细胞机械吹打去除成为机械裸卵(DOs),研究卵丘细胞层存在与否对卵母细胞体外核成熟(排出第一极体)和孤雌激活后发育能力的影响;试验2,根据COCs卵丘细胞包裹层数将COCs分为3组,即卵丘细胞层少(1～4层)的COCs为A组、卵丘细胞层多(5层以上)的COCs为B组及包裹5层以上卵丘细胞且附带卵泡壁颗粒细胞层(FSP)的COCs为C组,研究卵丘细胞层包裹程度对卵母细胞的体外核成熟和孤雌激活后胚胎发育能力的影响。结果表明:卵丘细胞的存在更有利于卵母细胞体外成熟和孤雌胚胎发育;COCs中卵丘细胞包裹层数对卵母细胞体外核成熟率没有显著影响,但包裹卵丘细胞层数多且附带FSP的卵母细胞,其PAEs的囊胚率显著高于包裹卵丘细胞少的卵母细胞PAEs。

在COCs体外培养过程中添加共培养物质和采用不同体积的液滴进行培养,以探讨牛卵母细胞的体外培养效果。结果表明,卵丘细胞、卵丘细胞+bFF共培养系统对胚胎发育均有促进作用,其中以卵丘细胞+bFF共培养系统对桑椹胚和囊胚的发育最好,其囊胚率为10.63%,显著高于对照组的7.23%(P<0.05),高于卵丘细胞组的8.50%(P>0.05)。用培养皿微滴培养(50μL)和用4孔板大体积培养(500μL)的试验表明,大体积培养比微滴培养有优势,桑椹胚和囊胚率均较高,其中囊胚率为10.23%,显著高于培养皿微滴培养的9.07%(P<0.01)。     

卵丘细胞对猪卵母细胞体外成熟及孤雌胚胎体外发育的影响

为探讨表皮生长因子(epidermal growth factor,EGF)的添加浓度及脱卵丘细胞时间对猪卵母细胞体外成熟及孤雌胚胎体外发育的影响.试验通过在体外成熟液中添加不同浓度(0、10、15、20、30、40 ng/mL)的EGF来研究其对培养44 h的卵母细胞成熟率以及孤雌胚胎发育的影响;在培养开始后的不同时间(18、24、38、44 h)进行脱卵丘细胞处理来研究不同时间脱卵丘处理对培养44 h的卵母细胞成熟率以及孤雌胚胎发育的影响.结果表明,成熟培养基中添加10 ng/mL EGF能显著提高卵母细胞的卵裂率和囊胚率(P <0.05).共培组和独培组卵母细胞培养18 h后脱卵丘细胞成熟率均低于44 h,但差异不显著(P >0.05);共培组卵母细胞培养18 h后脱卵丘细胞的卵裂率和囊胚率显著高于培养44 h(P <0.05);独培组卵母细胞培养18 h后脱卵丘细胞的卵裂率与44 h无显著差异(P >0.05),但囊胚率显著高于培养44 h后脱卵丘细胞(P <0.05).添加10 ng/mL EGF对猪卵母细胞体外成熟及孤雌胚胎体外发育较好;卵母细胞培养18 h后脱卵丘细胞可提高孤雌胚胎早期发育能力.     

高浓度葡萄糖对猪卵母细胞体外成熟和早期胚胎发育的影响

试验旨在探究高浓度葡萄糖对猪卵母细胞体外成熟及早期胚胎发育能力的影响。取体外分离处于生发泡期的猪卵丘卵母细胞复合体(COCs),分为3个处理组。分别用含葡萄糖浓度为5.6 mmol/L(C组)、10 mmol/L(G-1组)、15 mmol/L(G-2组)的培养液,进行体外成熟(IVM)处理,42 h后观察,并统计卵丘细胞扩散情况和第一极体排出率;对体外成熟42 h后的卵母细胞孤雌激活,统计2-细胞、4-细胞和第7天囊胚发育。结果发现,G-1组和G-2组卵丘细胞扩散度显著低于C组(P<0.05);G-1组和G-2组的MII期卵母细胞死亡率和存活率与C组相比无显著差异(P>0.05),但G-1组极体率显著降低(P<0.05),G-2组极体率极显著低于C组(P<0.01)。孤雌激活后,与C组相比,G-1组和G-2组的2-细胞分裂率显著降低(P<0.05),4-细胞分裂率以及囊胚发育率均极显著降低(P<0.01),但G-1、G-2组囊胚细胞数量与C组相比无显著性差异(P>0.05)。进一步线粒体染色发现,G-1组和G-2组的线粒体与C组相比分布不均。...     

无卵丘的水牛卵母细胞体外成熟方法的初步探讨

主要探讨无卵丘水牛卵母细胞体外成熟的可行性,以便为研究卵母细胞成熟机理提供模型。无卵丘的水牛卵母细胞随机分为5组,然后分别进行直接成熟培养（M1）,与卵丘细胞单层共培养（M2）,用未扩展的卵丘细胞块包围培养（M3）,与扩展的卵丘细胞团共培养（M4）和用卵巢组织包围培养（M5）。无卵丘的水牛卵母细胞体外成熟培养24 h后检查第一极体（PB1）排出率,随后对这些卵母细胞进行孤雌激活,评定其成熟质量。结果发现,M4组的第一极体排出率明显高于M1组和M5组,其它各组间没有显著差异（P〉0.05）;M5组的孤雌激活卵裂率显著低于M1组和M4组（P〈0.05）,而与M2组和M3组没有显著差异（P〉0.05）,但M3和M4两组的囊胚发育率显著高于M1组和M5组（P〈0.05）。这些研究结果表明：（1）未扩展卵丘细胞包围法和扩展卵丘细胞团支撑法可促进无卵丘水牛卵母细胞的体外成熟,但与卵丘细胞单层共培养没有作用;（2）卵巢组织包围培养不利于水牛卵母细胞的体外成熟。     

猪卵丘包裹层数与猪卵母细胞质量的相关性研究

为探讨如何从大量的未成熟卵母细胞中挑选出合适的卵母细胞用于体外成熟培养,本研究根据猪卵丘-卵母细胞复合体(COCs)的颗粒细胞层数和胞质情况,把挑选的COCs分成A、B、C3个等级;体外成熟培养42 ～44 h后,所获得的成熟卵母细胞做孤雌激活,比较孤雌胚的发育能力.结果表明:A、B、C3级卵母细胞的成熟率之间没有差异(P＞0.05),但是A级卵母细胞与B级卵母细胞的孤雌胚胎的囊胚率显著高于C级卵母细胞(P＜0.05).说明卵丘细胞包裹层数不会影响卵母细胞的成熟率,但会影响其潜在的发育能力.     

Induction of CIRBP expression by cold shock on bovine cumulus–oocyte complexes

The aim of this study was to induce the cold‐inducible RNA‐binding protein (CIRBP) expression on cumulus–oocyte complexes (COCs) through exposure to a sub‐lethal cold shock and determine the effects of hypothermic temperatures during the in vitro maturation of bovine oocytes. Nuclear maturation, cortical granule redistribution and identification of cold‐inducible RNA‐binding protein (CIRBP) were assessed after 24 hr of in vitro maturation of control (38.5°C) and cold‐stressed oocytes (33.5°C). The presence of CIRBP was assessed by Western blot in COCs or denuded oocytes and their respective cumulus cells. Based on the odds ratio, cold‐stressed oocytes presented higher abnormal cytoplasmic distribution of cortical granules and nuclear maturation than the control group. Although CIRBP was detected in both control and cold‐stressed groups, cold‐stressed COCs had 2.17 times more expression of CIRBP than control COCs. However, when denuded oocytes and cumulus cells were assessed separately, CIRBP only was detected in cumulus cells in both groups. In conclusion, cold shock induced CIRBP expression, but it negatively affected nuclear maturation and cortical granule distribution of bovine oocytes. Moreover, the expression of CIRBP was only identified in cumulus cells but not in oocytes.     

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。

Improvement of porcine oocytes with low developmental ability after fusion of cytoplasmic fragments prepared by serial centrifugation

We have shown in pigs that oocytes denuded of cumulus cells at 24 h of in vitro maturation culture and subsequently matured for a total of 46 h (DO24 oocytes) have lower cytoplasmic maturity than those matured with cumulus cells for 46 h and then denuded (DO46 oocytes). In the present study, DO24 zona-free oocytes were fused with one (1C) or two (2C) cytoplasmic fragments produced by serial centrifugation ("centri-fusion") of DO46 oocytes (DO24+1C and DO24+2C oocytes, respectively). Groups of (1) DO46 (a control), (2) DO24, (3) DO24+1C and (4) DO24+2C oocytes were partheno-activated by an electrical pulse or fertilized in vitro and subsequently cultured for 6 days. In the fused groups, female pronucleus (FPN) formation rates were higher than that in the DO24 group after parthenogenetic activation (PA); however, the blastocyst rates were intermediate between those of the control and DO24 groups. After in vitro fertilization, the male pronucleus (MPN) formation rates in the fused groups were similar to that in the control group and higher than that in the DO24 group; the normal fertilization rate in the DO24+2C group was higher than that in the DO24 group and similar to that in the control group, resulting in significantly higher blastocyst rates in the DO24+2C and control groups than that in the DO24 group. These results suggest that centri-fusion using ooplasm from fully matured DO46 oocytes can offer a potentially novel approach for restoration of cytoplasmic maturity to oocytes with low developmental ability and subsequent improvement of fertilization and developmental competence.     

Effects of l-Ascorbic Acid, α-Tocopherol and Co-culture on In Vitro Developmental Potential of Porcine Cumulus Cells Free Oocytes

The maturation and developmental potential on cumulus-cell-free oocytes is of great importance theoretically and practically. The present study was to investigate the effects of l -ascorbic acid, α-tocopherol and co-culture on in vitro developmental potential of porcine denuded oocytes (DOs). Porcine DOs were cultured in maturation medium supplemented with vitamin C (0, 50, 100, 250, 500, 750 μM) and vitamin E (0, 10, 20, 50, 100, 250 μ m ), respectively. And they were also co-cultured with dispersed cumulus cells (group CCscoculture), intact cumulus cells oocyte complexes (COCs) (group COCscoculture), and COCs whose oocytes were removed (group OOXcoculture), respectively. After 44 h incubation, the maturation rates, cleavage rates and blastocyst rates after parthenogenetic activation in three experiments mentioned above were collected and analysed, respectively. L -Ascorbic acid promoted porcine DOs in vitro maturation and blastocyt development after parthenogenetic activation while α-tocopherol did not increase the in vitro maturation rates, but improved the blastocyst rate. None of the three co-culture manner promoted the in vitro maturation and the cleavage of porcine DOs after parthenogenetic activation, but all the co-culture manners improved the blastocyst rates. Both Vitamin C and E enhance the in vitro developmental potential of porcine DOs. Co-culture increases the developmental potential of porcine DOs.
