The objective of this study was to examine the effect of in vitro maturation (IVM) medium, cytochalasin B (CB) treatment during intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and electric activation on in vitro development ICSI-derived embryos in pigs. Immature pig oocytes were matured in vitro in medium 199 (M199) or porcine zygote medium (PZM)-3 that were supplemented with porcine follicular fluid, cysteine, pyruvate, EGF, insulin, and hormones for the first 22 h and then further cultured in hormone-free medium for an additional 21～22 h. ICSI embryos were produced by injecting single sperm directly into the cytoplasm of IVM oocytes. The oocytes matured in PZM-3 with 61.6 mM NaCl (low-NaCl PZM-3) tended to decrease (0.05<P<0.1) nuclear maturation when compared with oocytes matured in M199 (76.9% vs. 83.8%) but no significant differences were found in embryo cleavage, blastocyst formation, and mean number of cells in blastocyst (73.8% vs. 74.6%, 11.1% vs. 12.1%, and 28.4 cells vs. 30.1 cells, respectively). The oocyte degeneration was not reduced by CB treatment during ICSI (11.9%) when compared with no treatment control (11.3%) while the treatment showed detrimental effects (P<0.05) on embryonic cleavage (40.0%) and blastocyst formation (1.8%) rates when compared with control (60.0% and 11.5%, respectively). For activation of ICSI oocytes, additional electric stimulus has no positive or negative effect on in vitro development of preimplantation stage ICSI porcine embryos. Our results demonstrate that CB treatment during ICSI inhibits embryonic development of ICSI oocytes and additional electric activation after ICSI has no effect in improving ICSI embryonic development in pigs. Further studies are needed to improve ICSI efficiency by investigating factors influencing embryonic development after ICSI in pigs.
