소 체외성숙시 난포란에 영향을 주는 과립막세포와 난자의 핵성숙을 촉진하는 물질이 확인되지 않은 혈청내의 물질 뿐만 아니라 호르몬이나 생리활성인자 등에 의해 촉진됨이 밝혀졌다. 이에 따라 체외성숙 및 체외발달에 사용되는 배양액의 조성도 복합배양액에서 단순배양액으로 전환을 시도하고 있으며, 체내의 조건에 보다 더 접근하고자 하는 시도들이 수행되고있다. 본 연구는 한우 난포란의 체외성숙율 및 체외수정 후 배발달율을 향상시키기 위하여 TGF-의 첨가가 미치는
It is well known that unidentified factors in sera, hormones and growth factors promote the proliferation of granulosa cells and nuclear maturation of bovine COCs in vitro. Attemps had been developed the simple composition of culture media and similar system to in vivo conditions has been applied. In the present study, we investigated the effect of TGF- on in vitro maturation and in vitro development of Hanwoo COCs. When the COCs were matured in TCM 199 containing 0.1, 1 or 10 ng/ml TGF- for 24 hrs, metaphaseⅡ of COCs were obtained 95.8%, 100% of matured COCs, respectively and there were no differences among the concentrations of TGF-. Matured COCs with TGF- cultured in maturation medium after in vitro fertilization, developmental rate to blastocyst were 0~0.8%. Matured COCs with TGF- were cultured in TCM 199+10% FBS, 0.8% BSA, 0.1% PVA, blastocyst formation were showed in 12.4%, 12.8%, 8.5% of those and cultured in IVMD or IVD without serum were 38.4%, 34.8%, respectively. There were significant differences among the media (P<0.05). TGF- is available for i vitro maturation of bovine COCs, but further investigation would be need for finding the synergistic autocrine/paracrine fashion of other growth factors in early bovine development.
