Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the effects of oocyte maturation period, phytohemagglutinin-P (PHA-P) treatment and activation agent on the enucleation, fusion, activation or in vitro development of bovine nuclear transfer embryos. Bovine oocytes were enucleated at 16∼24 h of in vitro maturation (IVM). Adult ear skin cells treated or non-treated with PHA-P were transferred into enucleated oocytes. Reconstituted oocytes treated or non-treated with PHA-P were fused by a pulse of 1.5 kV/cm for 30 $\mu$sec. Fused oocytes were activated with a combination of calcium ionophore (A23187) and cycloheximide (CHXM) or dimethylaminopurine (DMAP), and cultured in vitro for 7∼9 days. Enucleation rate was significantly increased when oocytes were matured for 16∼18 h (70.2∼92.3%, P<0.05) compared to that of oocytes were matured for 20∼24 h (44.3∼53.4%). The location of metaphase-II plate was far off from the 1st polar body as maturation time was increased. PHA-P treatment of donor cells or reconstituted oocytes significantly improved fusion rate (P<0.05). Cleavage and blastocyst formation rates were significantly increased after activation with a combination of A23187 and DMAP (78.6% and 32.9%, respectively) compared to those of embryos activated with a combination of A23l87 and CHXM (48.5 and 15.2%, respectively). From the present result, it is suggested that high enucleation efficiency can obtained by using oocytes matured for 18 h. It also shows that PHA-P treatment can improve the fusion rate, and activation with a combination of A23187 and DMAP can enhance the embryo development.

본 연구는 난자의 성숙시간, PHA-P 처리 또는 활성화 방법이 소 미수정란의 탈핵, 재구축란의 융합, 활성화 또는 체외발육에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 미수정란은 성숙 후 16∼24시간에 탈핵을 실시하고, PHA-P 처리 또는 무처리된 귀 피부세포를 이식 후 전기융합을 실시하였다. 후자의 경우는 융합 전에 PHA-P로 15분간 배양하였다. 융합란은 A23187과 CHXM 혹은 DMAP의 병용처리에 의해 활성화를 유기하고, 7∼9일간 체외배양하였다. 탈핵율은 성숙 후 16∼18시간에 실시한 경우(70.2∼92.3%)가 성숙 후 20∼24시간(44.3∼3.4%)에 비하여 유의적으로 높았다(P<0.05). M-II기 염색체의 위치는 성숙배양 시간이 길어짐에 따라 제 1 극체와의 간격이 멀어졌다. Donor 세포 혹은 재구축란에 PHA-P를 처리한 경우는 무처리구에 비하여 융합율이 향상되었다(P<0.05). 핵이식배의 분할율 및 배반포 발달율은 A23187+DMAP 처리구에서 78.6%와 32.9%로, A23187+CHXM 처리구에 비하여 유의적으로 높았다(P<0.05). 본 실험 결과는 성숙후 18시간에 탈핵을 실시하는 것이 효과적이며, donor세포 또는 융합 전 재구축란의 PHA-P 처리가 융합율 향상시킬 수 있고, 또한, 융합란을 A23187과 DMAP으로 병용처리 함으로써 난자의 활성화 및 배반포 발육율을 향상시켜, 결과적으로 핵이식기술의 효율성을 증진시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
