Abstract

We investigated the optimal concentration and exposure time of cycloheximide(CHX) on development of activated porcine oocytes following electrical pulse(EP). After 42~44 h maturation, oocytes were treated with 0.1% hyaluronidase, and denuded cumulus cells by pipetting. Oocytes were stimulated by electric pulse (1.2 kV/cm, 30 $\mu$sec, 1 pulse) or incubated for 3, 5 and 7 h in cycloheximide (1, 5 and 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$, respectively) following electric pulse, and cultured for 8 days. Cleavage rate of oocytes activated with 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ CHX following EP was significantly (P<0.05) higher than those of 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ (86.8% vs. 74.4%). The developmental competence of oocytes incubated to 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ of CHX was significantly (P<0.05) higher development to blastocysts (13.3%), compared with 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ of CHX (5.6%). When the oocytes were activated with 5$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ CHX for 3, 5, and 7 h following EP, the cleavage rate of oocytes in 5 h group(86.6%) was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that in 3 h group(73.2%). The developmental rate of oocytes to morula in 5 and 7 h groups(26.7% and 16.4%) were significantly (P<0.05) high than that in 3 h group(14.5%). Matured oocytes were activated with electric pulse (EP) or electric pulse combined with cycloheximide (EP + CHX) and cultured for 8 days. The rate of cleavage and development to blastocyst (80.1% and 11.6%) of activated with EP group were similar to EP combined with CHX group. When activated with EP or EP combined with CHX, the mean cell number of blastocysts were less in the activated with EP (18.67$\pm$5.53) than in the activated EP combined CHX (20.71$\pm$6.16), but not significantly different. This results suggest that, when the porcine oocytes were activated with CHX following EP, the developmental rate of activated oocytes can be improved by treated with a concentration of 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ CHX for 5 h exposure time.

본 연구에서는 전기자극 후 cycloheximide의 적정농도와 배양시간이 체외성숙된 돼지난자의 활성화에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 실험을 수행하였다. 42~44시간 동안 체외성숙 된 난자는 0.1%의 hyaluronidase에서 pipetting으로 난구세포를 제거한 후, 1.2 KV/cm의 전압으로 전기자극만 하거나, 전기자극 후 cycloheximide 1, 5 및 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$의 농도에서 각각 3, 5 및 7시간 동안 배양하는 구로 나누어 활성화를 유도하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 난자의 분할율 cycloheximide 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ 처리군이 86.8%로 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ 처리군의 74.4%보다 유의적(P<0.05)으로 높았다. 배반포기 발달율은 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ 처리구보다 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ 처리구에서 유의적(P<0.05)으로 높았다. 2. 전기자극 후 cycloheximide에서 배양시간의 비교에 있어서 5시간 처리한 돼지난자의 분할율(86.6%)이 3시간 동안 처리한 난자보다 유의적(P<0.05)으로 높게 나타났다. 상실배의 발달율은 5시간과 7시간 동안 처리구(26.7%와 16.4%)에서 3시간 처리구(14.5%)보다 유의적(P<0.05)으로 높은 발달율을 나타났다. 3. 전기자극을 단독처리하거나 전기 자극 후 cyclohiximide를 복합처리한 돼지난자를 8일 동안 배양하였다. 전기자극 후 cycioheximide를 복합처리한 난자의 분할율(80.1%) 및 배반포기 발달율(11.6%)은 전기자극 단독처리한 난자의 분할율(77.2%) 및 배반포기 발달율(6.6%)과는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 4. 체외성숙된 돼지난자를 전기자극 단독 또는 전기자극 후 cycloheximide 복합처리한 후 체외 발달한 배반포기 수정란의 핵 수는 각각 18.67$\pm$5.53개와 20.71$\pm$6.16개로써 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과를 요약하면, 전기자극을 단독처리 하거나 전기 자극 후 cyclohiximide를 복합처리한 돼지난자 발생율은 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 전기자극 후 cycloheximide를 복합처리 할 경우에는 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$의 농도로 5시간 동안 배양하는 것이 효과적으로 돼지난자의 activation을 유기할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
