돼지 수정란의 체외생산은 난자의 체외성숙과 체외수정에 관한 기술의 부족으로 아직까지 만족스럽지 못한 수준이다. 특히 돼지 수정란의 체외생산에는 복잡한 세포질의 성숙과정과 높은 다정자침입율 및 전핵형성의 억제등의 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 돼지 난자의 체외성숙 체계를 개선하기 위하여 transforming growth factor$\beta$(TGF$\beta$)의 첨가가 난자 및 난구세포에 미치는 효과에 대하여 검토하였다. 체외성숙용 배지에 TGF$\beta$를 1~10ng/$m\ell$의 농도로 첨가하여 미성숙 난자를 배양한 결과 성숙율이 높아졌다. TGF$\beta$의 효과는 난구세포가 제거된 난자의 성숙에도 효과적이었다. TGF$\beta$(를 첨가하지 않은 배양액 내에서는 배양 24시간 까지 metaphase-II로 성숙된 난자가 관찰되지 않았으나 TGF$\beta$를 첨가한 배양액 내에서는 관찰되었다. 한편, 난구세포가 부착된 난자의 성숙배양시 TGF$\beta$의 첨가시기에 따른 차이는 없었으나, 난구세포를 제거한 난자의 경우에는 성숙배양 전반기(59%) 또는 후반기(57%) 24시간 동안에만 TGF$\beta$를 첨가하는 것이 48시간 동안 계속하여 첨가(27%)하는 경우 또는 비첨가(38%)에 비하여 유의적으로 높은 성숙율을 나타냈다(p<0.05). 이와 같은 결과는 난구 세포가 돼지 난자의 체외성숙에 필수적이지만 TGF$\beta$는 난구세포가 제거된 난자의 체외성숙에 어 느정도 유익한 효과를 발휘하는 것으로 추측된다.

To provide the optimal culture conditions for the developm,ent of in vit개 produced embryos, we have been investigated various culture media as well as co-cultrue systems using porcine cumulus cells or mouse fetal fibroblast cells. Porcine ovaries were brought to the laboratory from local slaughter house within 1 hour after slaughtering and cumulus oocytes complexes were recovered from antral follicles(3~5mm) with 23 gauge needle. To maturate follicular oocytes, cumulus oocytes complexes were washed three times with TCM-199 containing 25mM HEPES and incubated(39$^{\circ}C$, 5% CO2 in air) in various maturation media for 42 hrs. Ejaculated and liquid storaged boar spermatozoa capacitated with different sperm capacitation methods and media were rpepared for fertilizing of matured follicular oocytes in vitro. Fertilization was performed by adding 5~10${\mu}\ell$ fo capacitated spermatozoa containing 1~5$\times$105 sperm/ml to droplets. Eighteen to twenty-eight hours after sperm insemination, fertilized eggs were washed three times with culture media and transferred to the various culture media, to the culture media with a monolayer of somatic cells. The in vitro development rates of 1-cell embryos cultured with three times with culture media and transferred to the various culture media, to the culture media with a monolayer of somatic cells. The in vitro development rates of 1-cell embryos cultured with three different media, m-KRB, BECM and TCM-HEPES were 0~1.0%, showing extremely lower rates. Especially, most of embryos were observed to arrest the development beyond 4-cell stages. The rates of embryos developed to 2-, 4-, 8-, 16-, 32-cell and morula or blastocyst stage in co-culture with porcine cumulus cells and mouse fetal fibroblast cells were 61.1~67.0%, 59.0~58.0%, 42.5~43.1%, 28.4~30.2% and 20.4~21.0%, respectively. These development rates upto morula or blastocyst stages were significantly higher than those of the embryos cultured in the basic culture medium(P<0.01). These findings suggest that co-culture of in vitro fertilized eggs with porcine cumulus cells or mouse fetal fibroblast cells enhance the development of fertilized eggs to morula or blastocyst stage in vitro.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of energy source on development of in vitro matured and fertilized porcine 2-cell embryos. The effects of glucose and phosphate for in vitro development of porcine 2-cell embryos were determined using modified BMOC-II medium. The results obtained are as follows. 1. In the absence of glucose and phosphate in the culture medium, 15.2% of porcine embryos developed 4-cell stage or further but morula formation was completely blocked. 2. The addition to 5mM glucose in the culture medium decreased rate of embryo reached 4-cell stage or further but increased morula stage as compared with addition to 0mM and 2.5mM glucose, regardless of the presence of phosphate. The addition to glucose in the culture medium without phosphate increased rate of embryo reached 4-cell stage or further and morula stage as compared with both addition to glucose and phosphate, regardless of added glucose concentration.

본 연구는 돼지 난포란으로부터 생산된 수정란의 체외발달에 미치는 아미노산, 우태아혈청 (FBS)과 Leukemia Inhibitry Factor의 영향을 조사하였다. 돼지난포란은 도살된 돼지의 난소로부터 회수하여 39$^{\circ}C$, 5% CO2 배양조건하에서 1$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml FSH-p, 1$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml Estradiol-17$\beta$와 10%FBS가 첨가된 TCM-199 배양액내에서 42시간동안 성숙시켰다. 사출된 정자의 수정능 획득은 45와 90% Percoll density gradient법을 통한 원심분리에 의해 얻었으며, 이들 수정능획득된 정자를 성숙된 난포란이 함유된 배양액에 3$\times$105/ml의 농도로 주입하여 10$\pm$1시간동안 배양함으로서 체외수정을 유도하였다. 수정된 난포란은 ; 1) 10% FBS가 함유된 TCM-199, DMEM, mKRB 또는 CR1aa 배양액, 2) 아미노산 또는 10% FBS가 첨가된 CR1 배양액, 3) STO 세포 또는 mLIF (1,000 unit/ml) 첨가된 CR1aa(10%FBS) 배양액, 4) mLIF (1,000 unit/ml)를 수정 직후 또는 8-세포기 이후에 첨가된 CR1aa(10%FBS)의 네가지 배양조건에서 각각 분리 배양하였다. 그결과 체외수정란의 배반포까지 발달율은 아미노산과 10%FBS가 포함된 CR1 배양액에서 다른 배양액에서보다 양호하였고, 특히 8-세포기 이후에 mouse LIF를 첨가한 CR1aa(10% FBS) 배양액에서는 다른 배양조건보다 현저히 높은 결과를 보였으며, 부화 배반포까지도 배발달을 유도할 수 있었다. 따라서 돼지수정란의 발달에 있어서 배양액내에 아미노산과 FBS 및 mouse LIF의 첨가는 효과가 있으며, 특히 8-세포기 이후에 있어서 mouse LIF의 첨가는 돼지의 수정란을 배반포 이후의 단계에까지 발달시킬 수 있었다.

This study was carried out to examine the effects of antioxidants and buthionine sulfoximide(BSO) on the development of porcine in vitro maturation(IVM) and in vitro fertilization(IVF) oocytes. Cumulus cell free embryos derived from porcine IVM/IVF oocytes were cultured NCSU23 medium with antioxidants or BSO under an atmosphere of 5% $CO_2$ and 5% $O_2$at 38.5$^{\circ}C$ for 5~6 days. The embryos cultured in medium with BSO showed a significanthy(P<0.05) lower rates(8.4~15.7%) of the development to the morulae and blastocyst stage than control group(35.9%). When the embryos were cultured with NAC, ebselen, glutathione and BSO, the proportions of embryos beyond morulae and blastocysts were significantly(P<0.05) higher in medium with NAC(40.5%), ebselen(44.2%) and glutathione(36.0%) than BSO(10.9%). In conclusions, these results indicate that NAC, ebselen and glutathione as a antioxidants can increase the proportion of embryos that develop beyond morulae stage. BSO, intracellular glutathione inhibitors, is suppressed the development of porcine embryos derived from IVM/IVF.

수정란의 체외생산(IVP)기술은 동물생산기술의 적용과 생리학이나 세포생물학의 기본 연구에 새로운 biotchnologies의 발생에 있어 매우 중요하고 흥미로운 사건으로서 여러 종류의 포유류에 적용되고 있다. 이러한 기술은 3가지의 절차를 밟아야 하는데 In vitro maturation(IVM), In vitro fertilization(IVF) 및 In vitro development(culture)(IVD)가 그것이다. 그런데 돼지는 다태동물로서 난소의 난포가 성장할 때 난포간 meiotic competence가 난자에 의하여 진행되므로 난포내의 난포액에 의하여 난자의 발육이 좌우된다고 보고 있다 돼지WP에 사용되는 난자는 난포의 직경이 3~5mm에서 수집하고 cumulus-oocyte complexes(COCs)의 형태에 따라 선택하는 것이 보편화되어 있다. 실험목적은 돼지 난소의 antral follicles이 성장할 때 크기에 의하여 oocyte meiotic competence의 방출에 어떤 영향을 주는지를 난자의 체외성숙과 체외수정 및 체외발육 비율을 각각 조사하여 미성숙 난자의 체외배양 기술을 개선할 목적이었다. 수행내용은 도축돈 난소의 난포크기별 3mm<, 3~5mm, 5mm)로 나누어, 다시 말해서 preantral stage, antral stage, postantral stage으로 구분하여 채취한 COCs를 IVM, IVF, IVC 상태에서의 COCs 형태, cell cleaved rate, developmental rate 등을 조사하였다.

During in vitro culture of mammalian oocytes and embryos, the cells are exposed to the risks that cause cell injury or death. Numerous studies have been reported that the cell injury may be induced by the action of free radicals generated by auto-oxidation. This study was undertaken to investigate the optimal culture condition system for in vitro culture of porcine embryos. We first evaluated the effect of culture media on the porcine embryo development. NCSU-23 and PZM-5, culture medium tested, were failed to produce significant difference on the rate of blastocyst formation. In NCSU-23, the developmental rate was slightly higher than that in PZM-5. During in vitro maturation (IVM), fertilizaton (IVF), and culture (IVC) under 5 or 20% oxygen ($O_2$), the rates of cleavage and development were insignificantly different from each other under our culture condition (20% $O_2$, in NCSU-23), the mean cell number per blastocyst was $40{\pm}10$. These results showed that medium and $O_2$ concentration had no significant effect on the development of porcine embryos.
