Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the effects of demecolcine-assisted enucleation and recipient cell cycle stage on the development of bovine somatic cell nuclear transfer (NT) embryos. In vitro cultured oocytes for $16\~20$ h were classified by first polar body (1st PB) extrusion and cell cycle stage (MI and MII) and treated $0.4\;{\mu}L/mL$ demecolcine for 40 min before enucleation. Enucleated oocytes were fused electrically with bovine ear skin cells, activated by Ca-ionophore+DMAP, and cultured in vitro. Most of eggs ($86.2\%$) treated with demecolcine protruded a chromosome mass and enucleated efficiently ($98.8\%$, (P<0.05). Demecolcine did not have a deteriorative effect on the development of NT embryos. Developmental rate of NT embryos reconstituted with oocytes extruded 1st PB significantly higher than that of NT embryos produced by oocytes without 1st PB ($18.2\%\;vs.\;4.6\%\cdot$, P<0.05). Cleavage and blastocyst formation rate of embryos reconstituted with MI oocytes ($69.4\%\;and\;5.9\%$, respectively) were significantly lower than those of embryos reconstituted with MII oocytes ($96.7\%\;and\;23.9\%$, respectively, P<0.05). From the present result, it is suggested that domecolcine is useful for the enucleation of recipient oocytes in bovine NT procedures, and MII oocytes rather than MI oocytes are more appropriate for recipient cytoplasm. Although, the potential to develop into blastocysts of NT embryos produced by 1st PB-nonextruded and MI oocytes was very low, these oorytes could be used for NT.

본 연구는 demecolcine 처리에 의한 탈핵과 수핵란 세포질의 세포 주기가 소 체세포 핵이식란의 발육에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 체외에서 $16\~20$시간 성숙배양된 난자를 극체 방출 유무 및 MI, MII기 난자로 구분하여 $0.4\;\muL/mL$ demecolcine으로 40분간 처리 후 염색체 부위가 돌출된 난자는 탈핵 후 핵이식에 공시하였다. 소의 귀 피부 세포를 탈핵란에 이식하여 전기융합과 활성화 처리(Ca-ionophore+DMAP)를 거쳐 체외 배양하였다. Demecolcine처리 후 $86.2\%$의 난자가 염색체 부위의 돌출을 보여 이 중 $98.8\%$가 탈핵에 성공하였다. Demecolcine은 핵이식란의 발육에 영향을 주지 않았다. 제1극체 방출란 유래 핵이식란의 배반포 발육율은 극체 미방출란 유래 핵이식란에 비하여 유의적으로 높았다($18.2\%\;vs.\;4.6\%\cdot$, P<0.05). 한편, MI 난자 유래 핵이식란의 분할율 및 배반포 발육율은($69.4\%$$5.9\%$) MII 난자 유래 핵이식란에 비하여 유의적으로 낮았다($96.7\%$$23.9\%$, P<0.05). 본 연구의 결과는 demecolcine 처리가 소 난자의 탈핵에 매우 효과적이며 MII기 난자가 MI기 난자에 비하여 수핵란 세포질로 더 적절하나 극체 미방출란 및 MI기 난자도 비록 제한적이기는 하지만 핵이식란의 배반포 발육을 지원할 수 있음을 보여준다.
