Abstract

This study was conducted to establish the method for preserving PGCs that enables long-term storage in liquid nitrogen for developmental engineering or preservation of species. The purpose of this study is to clarify the effects of freeze-thaw treatment on viability of PGCs in chickens. PGCs were collected separately from a germinal gonad of an early embryo of 5.5~6 day (stage 28) of Isa brown, Korean Oge (KO), White Leghorn and Commercial breeds. PGCs separated from a germinal gonad of an early embryo of 5.5~6 day (stage 28) are suspended in a freezing medium containing a freezing and protecting agents (e.g. dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethylene glycol (EG) and glycerol). The PGCs were then purified using magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) method. The viability of PGCs after thawing was $87.4{\pm}0.4%$ and $89.4{\pm}0.2%$ with the 10% EG treatments with no significant difference between the Isa brown and Commercial breeds. The viability of PGCs after freeze- thawing was significantly higher for Isa brown ($87.4{\pm}0.4%$) and Commercial breeds ($89.4{\pm}0.2%$) than Korean Oge (KO) ($77.6{\pm}1.1%$) and White Leghorn ($76.2{\pm}0.9%$)(p<0.05) using 10% EG cryoprotectant. This study established a method for pre- serving chicken PGCs that enables systematic storage and labeling of cryopreserved PGCs in liquid ($LN_2$) at agermplasm repository and ease of entry into a data base. In the future, the importance for this new technology is that poultry lines can be conserved while work is being conducted on improving the production of germline chimeras.

동결 닭 원시생식세포의 생식계열 키메라를 이용한 생체에의 복원을 실용화하기 위해서는, 닭 원시생식세포의 동결보존기술의 향상에 의해 동결 및 융해 후의 많은 생존세포를 확보하는 것과, 생식계열 키메라의 제작효율을 높이는 것이 반드시 필요하다. 닭 원시생식세포는 배양 5.5~6 일령의 닭 원시생식선으로부터 채취하고, MACS 방법에 의해서 순수 닭 원시생식세포를 분리했다. 15% 각각의 EG와 DMSO를 동결보호제로 사용한 처리군이 각 군의 농도에 상관없이 유의적(p<0.05)으로 glycerol 처리군보다 동결 및 융해 후의 세포의 생존율이 높음을 확인하였다. 특히 10% EG + FBS 조합의 처리군에서 상업용 닭(C : $89.4{\pm}0.2%$)과 이사브라운 (A : $87.4{\pm}0.4%$)의 두 품종이 오계(B : $77.6{\pm}1.1%$) 및 화이트레그혼(D : $76.2{\pm}0.9%$의 두 품종보다 동결 및 융해 후의 원시생식세포의 생존율이 유의적(p<0.05)으로 높음을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과들로부터10% EG + FBS와10% DMSO + FBS 조합의 두 처리구 간에 동결 및 융해 후의 세포생존율의 유의적인 차이는 보이지 않았지만, 동결 배지의 농도별 효율이 높음을 확인했다. 또한 네 품종 간의 동결 및 융해 후의 닭 원시생식세포 생존효율의 비교에서는 상업용 닭, 이사브라운, 오계 그리고 화이트레그혼 품종 순으로 생존율이 높음을 확인하였다. 초자화 동결에 있어서 가장 높은 생존율을 보인 10% EG이 10% DMSO와 함께 최적의 동결보호제로서 사용 가능성을 확인하였다.
