Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) on maturation of bovine follicular oocytes in vitro. Oocytes were recovered from the ovaries of slaughtered Hanwoos. The oocytes were matured in TCM 199 at 39$^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ in air. Growth factors were added to maturation medium as follows: control (no serum), EGF (10ng/m1, 50ng/ml or 100ng/m1), IGF-1 (100ng/m1) and EGF (50ng/ml) + IGF-1 (100ng/m1). The oocytes were placed onto a slide and stained with aceto-orcein dye. Nuclear maturation was evaluated and classified as germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD), metaphase-I (MI) or metaphase-ll(Mll). Maturation rates were 37.9% (control), 45.8% (EGF, 10ng/m1), 55.8% (EGF, 50ng/ml), 44.4% (EGF, 100ng/m1), 46.7% (IGF-1, 100ng/m1) and 67.0% (IGF-1+EGF). The highest group developed to Mll stage was IGF-1+EGF treatment group (p<0.05). Therefore, nuclear maturation of bovine oocytes were affected by both of growth factors, and it seems to have a mutual activity between them.

본 연구는 성장인자 EGF, IGF-1, EGF+IGF-1 이 소 난포란의 체외성숙에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 실시하였다. 소 난포란의 체외성숙 시 EGF를 농도별 (10, 50 및 100ng/m1)로 첨가하여 실험한 결과 통계학적 유의성은 인정되지 않았으나 24시간 배양 후 성숙율은 대조군에 비하여 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 소난포란의 체외성숙 시 EGF와 IGF-1을 병용 처리하여 실험한 결과, EGF 또는 IGF-1 단독처리 군에 비하여 병용처리군이 유의적으로 높은 체외성숙율을 나타내었다(p〈0.05). 따라서 소난포란의 체외성숙율은 EGF와 IGF-1에 의하여 영향을 받으며 특히 EGF와 IGF-1의 상호작용에 의하여 더 유효한 효과를 나타내는 것으로 사료된다.
