Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigative the effects of retinol supplement to IVM and/or IVC medium on maturation, fertilization and development of pig oocytes. North Carolina State University (NCSU) 23 medium containing porcine follicular fluid (pFF) was used as base medium. Each 1 uM, 5 uM and 10 uM concentration of retinol was supplemented to IVM and /or IVC medium. When the retinol was supplemented to maturation medium, the maturation rates were not different (p>0.05) among treatment groups ($66.7{\pm}6.0{\sim}69.2{\pm}5.3%$), but the developmental rate to blastocyst stage was higher (p<0.05) in $5{\mu}M$ group ($20.4{\pm}2.6%$) than in 0 uM ($13.6{\pm}2.1%$) and 10 uM groups ($9.7{\pm}1.7%$). Moreover, total cell number was significantly greater (p<0.05) in the 5 uM group ($37.0{\pm}1.6$) than in the other groups ($29.8{\pm}1.0{\sim}33.2{\pm}1.0$). Retinol supplement to maturation medium did not significantly affect the rates of fertilization and polyspermy (p>0.05). When the retinol was supplemented to culture medium or both maturation and culture medium, the rates of cleavage, and develop to morula and blastocyst stage were not affected, while those of 10 uM group were significantly decreased (p<0.05). These results indicate that 5 uM retinol supplement in maturation medium significantly stimulates embryo development, also improves the total cell number of blastocyst stage in pig.

본 연구는 돼지 수정란의 체외 성숙 및 체외 배양액의 retinol 첨가 효과를 규명하기 위하여 체외 성숙 및 체외 배양액에 retinol을 첨가하여 수정란의 체외 발달에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 체외 성숙 배양액에 retinol을 첨가한 결과 성숙율은 $66.7{\pm}6.0{\sim}69.2{\pm}5.3%$으로 각 처리구 간의 유의적인 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 체외 수정 후 배반포로의 발달율은 $5{\mu}M$ 첨가구에서 $20.4{\pm}2.6%$의 발달율을 나타내어 타 처리구에 비하여 유의적으로(p<0.05) 높게 나타났으며, $10{\mu}M$ 첨가구에 있어서는 분할율과 배반포로의 발달율이 타 처리구에 비하여 유의적으로(p<0.05) 낮게 나타났다. 정상 수정율은 $59.3{\pm}9.6{\sim}73.0{\pm}7.3%$로 처리구간에 차이가 없었다. 다정자 침입율은 처리군 간에 유의차는 인정되지 않았다(p>0.05). 배반포로의 발달 후 세포수를 비교한 결과 대조구($29.8{\pm}1.0$)에 비해 $5{\mu}M(37.0{\pm}1.6)$ 첨가구에서 유의적으로(p<0.05) 많은 세포수를 나타내었다. 체외 배양액에 retinol을 첨가한 후 발달율을 조사한 결과, 난할률, 상실배 및 배반포로의 발달율에서 모두 효과를 나타내지 못하였으며, 특히, $10{\mu}M$의 처리구에서는 대조구를 비롯한 타 처리구들보다 유의적으로(p<0.05) 발달율이 낮게 나타났다. 체외 성숙 배지와 체외 배양액 모두 retinol을 첨가한 결과 배반포로의 발달율에 있어서 각 처리구간의 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 이상의 결과를 종합할 때, 돼지 체외 성숙 배양액에 5 uM의 retinol의 첨가는 발달율과 세포수에 있어서 유의적으로(p<0.05) 효과적이었으며 10uM에서는 유해한 결과를 나타내었다.
