Introduction The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of staining of porcine cumulus-oocytes complexes (COCs) by brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) test prior to in vitro maturation may be used to select developmentally competent oocytes. Furthermore, milrinone can be used to promote developmental competence of porcine embryos produced during parthenogenesis (PA) and somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Materials and Methods Slaughterhouse-derived porcine cumulus-oocyte-complexes (COCs) were exposed to BCB and treated oocytes divided into BCB+ (colored cytoplasm), BCB- (colorless cytoplasm) groups. After division into 2 groups, intracellular glutathione (GSH) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) of matured oocytes were compared. And, preimplantation development of PA and SCNT embryos were also compared between 2 groups. BCB- oocytes were exposed to milrinone with different concentrations (0, 50, 75, and 100μM) for 6 h prior to IVM for further development of embryos. Results and Discussion GSH was higher in BCB+ group than BCB- group whereas ROS was lower in BCB+ than BCBgroup. In parthenogenetic embryos, BCB+ oocytes group was significantly higher on maturation (87.5 vs 80.6, 71.3%), cleavage (88.6 vs 82.9, 76.3%), and blastocyst formation rates (34.3 vs 27.8, 25.3%) than control and BCB- oocytes groups, respectively. Moreover, ratio of ICM:TE cells were higher in BCB+ oocytes group (30.3% vs. 28.6, 26.4%, respectively) than other groups. In cloned embryos, the significant higher blastocyst formation rates were shown BCB+ groups (30.6% vs. 26.0, 20.1%) than BCB- groups. To improve the cytoplasmic maturation in BCB- oocytes, 4 different concentrations of milrinone (0, 50, 75, and 100μM) were supplemented in the IVM media for 6 h. BCB- oocytes supplemented with 75μM milrinone showed the significantly higher rates of blastocyst formation than other groups. Our results demonstrate that staining of porcine oocytes with BCB before IVM may be used for selection of good quality oocytes and milrinone supplementation can be used to improve embryo developmental competence of porcine embryos.
