This study examined the motility of either the unattached(upper) or attached(lower) Hanwoo sperm to bovine oviduct epithelial cell(BOEC) monolayers to determine whether there are any changes in their motility during co-culture. The cleavage and blastocyst development rate were compared among different preincubation methods in-vitro, after oocytes were fertilized in-vitro with Hanwoo sperm on BOEC monolayers. The motility of frozen-thawed sperm in BOEC co-culture group was significantly higher than controls, especially at 5 hours and 6 hours (p<0.05) of incubation, in sperm treatment medium without heparin and caffeine. The motility of frozen-thawed sperm in BOEC co-culture group was significantly higher than controls, especially at 3 hours (p<0.05) and 6 hours (p<0.01), in sperm treatment medium containing heparin and caffeine. The motility of the attached( lower) sperm was significantly higher than the unattached(upper) sperm during co-culture with BOEC at all times(p<0.01 or p<0.05), except for 6 hours. After Hanwoo oocytes were fertilized in-vitro with the sperm that had been co-cultured with BOEC in sperm treatment medium containing heparin and caffeine, we determined the cleavage and blastocyst development rate, according to the preincubation methods. Both the cleavage and blastocyst development rate from 2 hour preincubation group were the highest, but significant difference was not recognized. These results show that BOEC plays an important role on sperm hyperactivation related to capacitation regardless of heparin and caffeine in sperm treatment medium. However, oviduct epithelial cell had no significant effect on the development of embryos after in-vitro fertilization in the presence of added heparin and caffeine in sperm treatment medium.

Human fibroblasts that maintain the structural integrity of connective tissues by secreting precursors of the extracellular matrix are typically cultured with serum. However, there are potential disadvantages of the use of serum including unnatural interactions between the cells and the potential for exposure to animal pathogens. To prevent the possible influence of serum on fibroblast cultures, we devised a serum-free growth method and present in vitro data that demonstrate its suitability for growing porcine fetal fibroblasts. These cells were grown under four different culture conditions: no serum (negative control), 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, positive control), 10% knockout serum replacement (KSR) and 20% KSR in the medium. The proliferation rates and viabilities of the cells were investigated by counting the number of cells and trypan blue staining, respectively. The 10% FBS group showed the largest increase in the total number of cells ($1.09\;{\times}\;10^5\;cells/ml$). In terms of the rate of viable cells, the results from the KSR supplementation groups (20% KSR:64.7%; 10% KSR: 80.6%) were similar to those from the 10% FBS group (68.5%). Moreover, supplementation with either 10% ($3.0\;{\times}\;10^4\;cells/ml$) or 20% KSR ($4.8\;{\times}\;10^4\;cells/ml$) produced similar cell growth rates. In conclusion, although KSR supplementation produces a lower cell proliferation rate than FBS, this growth condition is more effective for obtaining an appropriate number of viable porcine fetal fibroblasts in culture. Using KSR in fibroblast culture medium is thus a viable alternative to FBS.
This study was conducted to compare the insemination time of bovine oocytes and determine the effects of glucose(1.5 mM) on the development of bovine embryos at early cleavage stage. Oocytes were matured for 24 h, followed by exposure to sperm and cultured in modified Tyrode's media drops or with bovine oviduct epithelial cell monolayer prepared in TCM199(BOECM). Insemination time and culture system were varied in each experiment. In experiment 1, to investigate the developmental capacity of bovine embryos after different time of exposure to sperm, bovine ova and sperm were co-incubated for 18, 30 or 54 h, respectively. The development to blastocysts of 30 and 54 h insemination groups were significantly higher(P<0.05) than 18 h group, and in case of blastocysts of cleaved embryos, 30 h group were significantly higher(P<0.05) than other groups. In experiment 2, we investigated the effect of glucose on early bovine embryos. After 18 h insemination, in vitro fertilized oocytes were separated following 3 groups ; G+0, C+24 and C+48. Oocytes of G+0 group were cultured in glucose added Tyrode's medium after fertilization, oocytes in C+24 and C+48 groups were cultured in glucose free Tyrode's medium after fertilization. After 24 h culture, G+24 group was moved to glucose added medium. All oocytes of 3 groups were moved to BOECM after 48 h culture. The rates of cleavage and development to blastocysts in G+0 group were significantly lower than other groups. In experiment 3, we determined the effects of glucose exposure from 8 to 20 h after insemination on the cleavage and development of oocytes. The oocytes in glucose added group had high capacity of cleavage and further development. This study shows that in bovine oocytes, the optimal exposure to sperm is 30 h and glucose exposure to bovine one-cell embryos is detrimental to their first cleavage and further development in vitro but there has no evidence of detrimental effect of glucose(1.5 mM) exposure to bovine embryos over the two-cell stage in vitro.

In porcine embryo culture, one of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is harmful factors that are made during in vitro culture. To decrease the detrimental effect of ROS on embryo development, superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase could be used in the embryo culture. Out of these antioxidants, 7,8-dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF) was reported its antioxidant effects to prevent the glutamine-triggered apoptosis. Therefore, this study was performed to investigate the most appropriate concentration of 7,8-DHF in porcine embryonic development. For that, 5 different concentration (0, 0.1, 0.5, 1, $2{\mu}m$) of 7,8-DHF was supplemented in the porcine IVM media and then maturation and blastocyst formation rates were compared among 5 groups. In maturation rates of porcine oocytes, significant higher maturation rates was shown in the $1.0{\mu}m$ group compared with another 4 groups ($83.3{\pm}2.1$ vs. $80.7{\pm}1.4$, $79.8{\pm}1.4$, $78.3{\pm}1.2$, $79.4{\pm}1.6$), respectively (P<0.05). In the embryo culture, $1.0{\mu}m$ group also showed the significant higher cleavage rates ($76.8{\pm}3.1$ vs. $62.1{\pm}5.0$, $65.7{\pm}4.0$, $68.6{\pm}3.7$, $64.6{\pm}4.0%$) and blastocyst formation rates - ($39.6{\pm}4.0%$ vs. $28.6{\pm}3.3$, $31.1{\pm}3.9$, $29.3{\pm}2.5$, $39.6{\pm}4.0$, $26.4{\pm}3.2%$), respectively (P<0.05). There was no significant difference among 5 groups in the cell number of blastocyst (P<0.05). In conclusion, supplement of $1.0{\mu}m$ of 7,8-DHF was effective to increase the porcine embryonic development competence as antioxidant to ROS.
The present study was conducted to examine the effect of antioxidant treatment during parthenogenetic activation procedure on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and in vitro development of porcine parthenogenetic embryos. Porcine in vitro matured oocytes were activated by a combination of electric stimulus and 2 mM 6-dimethylaminopurine (6-DAMP) before in vitro culture. During the activation period, oocytes were treated with $50{\mu}M$${\beta}$-mercaptoethanol (${\beta}$-ME), $100{\mu}M$ L-ascorbic acid (Vit. C) or $100{\mu}M$ L-glutathione (GSH). To examine the ROS level, porcine parthenogenetic embryos were stained in $10{\mu}M$ dichlorohydrofluorescein diacetate ($H_2DCFDA$) dye 20 h after culture, examined under a fluorescence microscope, and the fluorescence intensity (pixels) were analyzed in each embryo. The parthenogenetic embryos were cultured for 6 days to evaluate the in vitro development. The apoptosis was measured by TUNEL assay. The $H_2O_2$ levels of parthenogenetic embryos were significantly lower in antioxidant treatment groups ($26.9{\pm}1.6{\sim}29.1{\pm}1.3$ pixels/embryo, p<0.05) compared to control ($33.2{\pm}1.7$ pixels/embryo). The development rate to the blastocyst stage was increased in antioxidant treatment groups (32.0~32.5%) compared to control (26.9%, p<0.05), although, there was no difference in apoptosis among groups. The result suggests that antioxidant treatment during parthenogenetic activation procedure can inhibit the ROS generation and enhance the in vitro development of porcine parthenogenetic embryos.
The aim of this study was to assess the developmental capacity of oocytes maturated in vitro after 10 days of culture when the preantral follicles were isolated from juvenile mice 10- and 20-day old, respectively, and to develop in vitro culture system that observed a view to morphology of follicles and nucleus maturation of oocytes. The antral-like cavities became formation after 6 days of culture in follicle isolated from 10- and 20-day old mice. The number of follicles were 21.5 and 33.3 in ovary isolated from 10- and 20-day old mice, respectively. The diameters of oocytes were 51.85 and 57.50 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ before culture and were grew 55.95 and 63.11 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ after culture for 10 days, in follicles isolated from 10- and 20-day old mice, respectively. The observation rates up to the M II and from GV to M II were 4.3 and 22.1%, and 14.5 and 61.1% after culture for 10 days in follicles isolated from 10- and 20-day old mice, respectively.
This study was carried out investigate the effect of water quality and the kind of media on the in vitro development of 1-cell and stage mouse embryos. $F_1$ hybrid mice were superovulated and timely mated. 1-cell stage and 2-cell stage mouse embryos were recruited and taken into Ham's F-10 or m-KRB media which was made of two of two kinds of water having different quality, highly purified water and tap water. 2-cell stage embryos grew up well in vitro to blastocyst or hatching blastocyst regardless of the composition of culture media, but 1-cell stage mouse embryo didn't develop well to blastocyst or hatching blastocyst in simple media like m-KRB. These results meant in vitro devleopment of 1-cell stage mouse embryo neded complex media like Ham's F-10 which contained abundant protein components. In case of quality control for water, in vitro fertilization program. observation of in vitro development of 2-cell mouse embryos up to blastocyst or hatching blastocyst media such as m-KRB would be efficatious in detecting the difference of water quality.
In vitro development of bovine embryos is affected by many factors such as energy substrates, amino acids, and some growth factors. It has been reported that mRNA of insulin, PDGF and their receptors are detected in cow embryos, and that some chelating agents such as EDTA and transferrin have beneficial role on mouse and bovine embryos. The author hypothesized that insulin, transferrin arid PDGF added to a culture medium increase in vitro development of bovine embryos by chelating toxic substance(s) or increasing cell growth and metabolism. Immature oocytes from slaughtered ovaries of Holstein cows and heifers were matured for 24 hours in a TCM199 containing 10% fetal calf serum, FSH, LH and estradiol with granulosa cells in vitro. Matured oocytes were coincubated with sperm for 30 hours in a modified Tyrode's medium (IVF). Embryos cleaved to 2- to 4-cell at 30 hours after IVF were selected and cultured in a 30-$\mu$l drop of a synthetic oviduct fluid medium (SOFM) containing 0.8% BSA, Minimum Essential Medium essential and non-essential amino acids, and insulin, transferrin or PDGF for 9 days. Supplementation of a SOFM with insulin, and /or transferrin did not increase develop-mental rate to expanding and hatching blastocyst of 2- to 4-cell bovine embryos compared with control. The highest developmental rate to hatching blastocyst was shown when PDGF was added at the concentration of 10 ng /ml among the supplementing doses tested in the present study (p<0.05). Addition of PDGF without insulin to a SOFM could not increase embrye development, but combined addition of PDGF with insulin significantly increased (p<0.05) embryo development to hatching blastocyst (50%) compared with control (38%). In conclusion, insulin and PDGF supplemented to a SOFM may act synergistically and have beneficial effect on in vitro development of 2- to 4-cell bovine embryos matured and fertilized in vitro.
Supplementation of maturation medium with additional granulosa cells has beneficial effect on in vitro maturation of bovine follicular oocytes and their subsequent cleavage and development in vitro. However, maturation system using granulosa cells have some disadvantages that collection of granulosa cells is cumbersome and metabolic activity of the cells is variable according to ovarian cycle or follicular size. We hypothesized that bovine immsture oocytes matured without granulosa cell coculture can fertilize and develop normally if the medium volume per oocyte is reduced during in vitro maturation. Immature oocytes were matured for 24 hours in a TCM199 containing 10% fetal calf serum, anterior pitultary hormone (0.02 AU /ml Antrinⓡ) and estradiol with or without granulosa cells in vitro. In Group 1, 35 to 40 oocytes were matured in a well of 4-well plastic dish containing 500 $\mu$l of maturation medium and granulosa cells, and 9 to 10 oocytes were matured in a 50-$\mu$l drop of maturation medium without granulosa cells in Group 2. After maturation, oocytes were coincubated with sperm for 30 hours in a modified Tyrode's medium (IVF). Inseminated oocytes were cultured in a microdrop (30 $\mu$l) of a synthetic oviduct fluld medium (SOFM) containing BSA, Minimum Essential Medium essential and non-essential amino acids for 9 days. As a preliminary experiment, we investigated the beneficial effect of granulosa cells during maturation on subsequent cleavage and development using the same type of culturedishes (4-well dish). Granulosa cells could not increase embryo cleavage after fertilization but significantly improved (p<0.05) embryo development to expanding blastocyst (Table1 and 2). In Group 1, 68 and 80% of inseminated oocytes have cleaved at 30 hours and 2 days after IVF, respectively, which is similar (p>0.05) to the result of Group 2 (69% at 30 hours and 78% at 2 days after IVF). The oocytes in Group 2 showed 21 and 11% of developmental rates to expanding and hatching blastocysts, respectively, which was not significantly different (p>0.05) from those (20 and 10%, respectively) of oocytes in Group 1. In conclusion, it has been clarified that a microdrop culture system without granulosa cells for in vitro maturation can support bovine embryonic development to blastocyst in vitro as readily as a granulosa cell coculture system.
This experiment was carried out to improve a simple and effective procedure of egg transfer which is considered to be the most useful technique for the improvementand proliferation of domestic animals. Several experiment procedures such as superovulation, surgical recovery of ovulated egg, in vitro capacitation of ejaculated spermatozoa, in vitro fertilization and culture of embryo were conducted. The results obtained in this experiment were summarized as follows: 1. In rabbits treated with PMS in combination with estradiol and HCG, 10 to 43 eggs were obtained in one rabbit and the average ovulation number of 20 rabbits was 21 eggs. 2. Six to 24 eggs (average 13 eggs) were recovered from the removed oviducts by the methods of flushing technique and the average recovery rate of 20 rabbits was 61.9 percent. 3. Most rabbit spermatozoa ejaculated by artificial vagina were capacitated in vitro by the culture of the spermatozoa with PBI medium at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours after removal of seminal plasma. 4. Normal fetilization following in vitro fetilization was observed in 88 (42.7%) of 206 eggs. 5. The number of eggs developed to 2-, 4-, and 8-cell stage following in vitro culture with PBI medium at 37$^{\circ}C$ was 26 (70.3%), 20 (54.1%) and 17 (45.9%) of 37 eggs used for in vitro culture.
