성선자극호르몬으로 자극된 난소로부터 회수된 사람의 성숙난자의 전핵형성과 초기발생에 정자의 운동성과 성숙도가 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 세포질내정자주입 (ICSI)은 HEPES-buffer mTCM-199 배양액에서 실시하였다. 체내에서 성숙된 난구세포부착난자를 ICS에 의하여 사정된 운동성 정자 또는 비운동성 정자로 수정하였을 때 운동성 정자로 수정된 난자가 비운동성 정자로 수정된 난자보다 전핵형성율이 높았다 (79.8% vs 51.7% ; p<0.00
In the present study, we investigated the effect of maturity and motility of spermatozoa on the formation of pronuc-leus and subsequent developmental capacity of the human embryo in vitro. The fertilization was performed by means of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in HEPES-buffered m-TCM-199 medium. In the first part of the experiment, motile or im-motile human spermatozoa ejaculated were injected into cumulus-enclosed human oocytes matured in vivo. Significantly (p<0.002) higher proportion of oocytes that was injected with motile spermatozoa formed 2 pronuclei than the oocytes injected with immotile spermatozoa (79.8% vs 51.7%). In the second part of the experiment, cumulus-enclosed human oocytes matured in vivo were injected with motile or immotile spermatozoa collected from testes. There was no difference between motile and immotile spermatozoa. In the third part of the experiment, using modified Tyrode's medium containing 10.0 mM lactate, 0.5 mM pyruvate, 0.2 mM taurine, 1.0 mM glutamine, 2.22 mM MEM amino acids, vitamin and 10% human follicular fluid, we found that the development of oocytes that formed 2 pronuclei were able to develop to 9-16 cells regardless of maturity and motility of spermatozoa.
