Abstract

The present study was carried out to examine the effect of $\beta$-Mercaptoethanol ($\beta$-ME) on in vitro maturation (IVM) of porcine follicular oocytes and oxygen concentration with $\beta$-ME on in vitro development (IVD) of porcine IVM/IVF embryos. The results were summarized as follows. 1. The rates of nuclear maturation, penetrated oocytes, polyspermic oocytes, pronucleus formation and mean numbers of the penetrated sperms were not significantly different using NCSU-23 maturation media for 0, 25, 50 and 100 $\mu$M $\beta$-ME (P>0.05). 2. The rates of blastocyst formation at day 7 after in vitro fertilization were higher in oocytes matured with 25 $\mu$M $\beta$-ME (25.4$\pm$0.9%) than in those matured with 0 (14.5$\pm$1.6%), 50 (17.3$\pm$1.7%) and 100 $\mu$M (12.4$\pm$1.3%) (P<0.05). However, no differences ware found in total cell numbers of blastocyst among the treatments. 3. The rates of blastocyst formation at day 7 after in vitro fertilization were higher in the NCSU-23 Culture medium With 25 $\mu$M $\beta$-ME (23.6$\pm$2.8%) than in those Cultured With 0 (15.4$\pm$4.4%), 12.5 (17.5$\pm$2.3%) and 50 $\mu$M $\beta$-ME (18.6$\pm$2.1%) Under the 5% and 20% $O_2$ Concentrations (P<0.05). However, no differences was found in total cell numbers of blastocyst among the treatments. These results suggested that the addition of 25 $\mu$M $\beta$-ME in the IVM/IVD media were effective on the porcine embryo production. However, the rates of blastocyst formation and total cell numbers of blastocyst at day 7 of porcine IVM/IVF embryos were not significantly different in the NCSU-23 culture medium under 5% and 20% 02 concentrations.

본 연구는 돼지 난포란의 체외배양액에 황화합물인 $\beta$-mercaptoethanol($\beta$-ME)을 첨가배양함으로서 돼지난포란의 체외성숙과 체외배발달에 미치는 향을 구명하고자 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 돼지난포란을 체외성숙배양액인 NCSU-23 배양액에 $\beta$-ME를 각각 0, 25, 50 및 100$\mu$M 첨가배양하여 성숙을 유기한 다음, 체외수정을 실시한 결과, 모든 처리구에서 핵성숙률, 정자침투율, 웅성전핵형성률, 다정자침입률 및 평균침입정 수에서 유의적인 차이가 인정되지 않았다 P>0.05). 2. 체외성숙 및 수정을 실시한 후, 배발달 배양액인 NCSU-23에 7일간 배양한 결과, 배반포 형성률은 25$\mu$M의 $\beta$-ME 처리구가 유의적(P<0.05)으로 높은 결과를 나타냈고, 총세포수에 있어서는 대조구와 처리구간 유의적인 차이가 인정되지 않았다. 3. 배발달배양액인 NCSU-23에 $\beta$-ME를 각각 0, 12.5, 25 및 5$\mu$M 첨가하고 5 및 20%산소조건 하에서 7일간 배양한 결과, 처리구별 산소농도에 따른 배발달률 및 총세포수에 있어서는 유의 적 인 차이가 없었으나, 25$\mu$M $\beta$-ME 처리구에서 유의적으로 높은 결과를 나타냈다(P<0.05). 그러나 총세포수에서는 처리구 및 대조구간 유의성이 인정되지 않았다. 결론적으로 돼지난포란의 체외성숙 및 배발달시 황화합물인 $\beta$-ME의 첨가는 25$\mu$M이 가장 적합하며, 산소농도에 따라서는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 조사되었다.
