Porcine follicular oocyte, collected from antral follicles (2~5 mm in diameter) of gilt ovaries were matured in vitro porcine follicular fluid (pFF) with PMSG (pFF-PMSG) buffer with at 37$^{\circ}C$ under 5% CO2 in air their ability of maturation promoting factor (MPF), of GV and GVBD formation was examined followed during time after in vitro culture. Formation of second metaphase was observed in 57.6% and 71.2% of matured in with pFF-PMSG buffer to 45 and 50 hours after invitro. Porcine oocytes cultured in pFF-PMSG for various periods of up to 30 hours were stained with Hoechst-33342 and classified according to maturation before assaying. Histone H1 kinase (H1K) activity was assayed during meiotic maturation in porcine oocytes matured in pFF-PMSG buffer in vitro. In oocytes matured in pFF-PMSG, H1K activity was at the 30 hours after culture and increased about 15 fold than at the germinal vesicle stage with before at the cultured in vitro. This pattern is similar to those reported in non-mammalian species and su, pp.rts the concepts that H1K is ubiquitous in eukaryotes and controls the meiotic cell cycle in mammals. These results suggest that the maturation pFF-PMSG buffer used influences the fluctuation pattern of H1K activity and biological characteristics of porcine oocytes cultured in vitro.

Normal tensile strength in collagen fibrils is due to intermolecular and intramolecular crosslinks which are known to be altered in aging. Pyridinoline, a mature crosslink which is stable and nonreducible, is derived from two hydroxyallysine and one hydroxylysine residues of collagen fibrils. The excess formation of pyridinoline in collagen is associated with making the tissue stiffer, less soluble and less digestible by enzymes. Lysyl oxidase is the enzyme that initiates the biosynthesis or crosslinks in collagen by catalyzing the oxidative deamination of the lysyl and hydroxylysyl residues in these molecules, and its activity is inhibited by $\beta$-aminopropionitrile(BAPN). Our previous work demonstrated that the pyridinoline content of bone collagen significantly was increased during incubation for 5 weeks at 37$^{\circ}C$ invitro, but it was diecrased by the addition of ascorbic acdi(AsA). In this study, we clarified the specific action of AsA in aging process in vitro enzymatic reaction.

본 연구에서 소 미성숙 난자의 성숙 배양 시 세포주기 억제제인 cycloheximide, 6-DMAP, rosco-vitine를 첨가하였을 때 난자의 감수분열이 억제제비 첨가난자에 비해 높은 비율로 germinal vesicle 기에서 정지된 것이 관찰되었다. 또한 cyclohexi-mide, 6-DMAP, roscovitine을 배지에서 제거한 후 다시 추가적인 체외 성숙 배양을 실시하여 ger-minal vesicle기에 정지된 세포주기의 진행이 재개되어 난자의 감수분열 완료 및 성숙이 세포주기억제제 비 첨가난자와 거의 동등하게 나타난 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 cyclo-heximide, 6-DMAP, roscovitine의 소 미성숙 난자의 세포주기 조절작용이 가역적임을 알 수 있었으며 난자의 세포 주기 동기화에 이용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

These studies were conducted to evaluate developmental competence of follicular oocyte collected from the ovaries of Hanwoo cows with the high offspring meat quality (1++ and 1+ grade). Cumulus oocyte complexes from individual cows were matured, fertilized and cultured using protocols of in-vitro maturation (IVM), invitro fertilization (IVF) and in-vitro culture (IVC). The rates of blastocyst development from Hanwoo cows with the offspring meat quality grades of 1++ and 1+ were 18.6 and 21.2%, respectively. The rates of blastocyst development were 26.3, 20.7, 20.7, 17.2 and 31.2% from Hanwoo cows with the meat quality grades of 1++, 1+, 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Fiftyseven transferable embryos were recovered from 11 Hanwoo donor cows (5.2/head) with the high offspring meat quality grades of 1++ and 1+ in vivo, and the pregnancy rate after embryo transfer was 61.1%. In conclusion, these results suggest that in vitro embryo production from the ovaries of cows with the high meat quality grades using individual culture system can be used an efficient method for livestock improvement. In addition, for the successful industrialization of embryo transfer, conception rate should be improved.
