본 연구는 혈통이 확인된 한우 암소의 체중과 월령에 따라 난소에서 난포의 분포 양상을 확인하고, 체외성숙배양 배지가 채취된 미성숙 난자/난구세포의 배양시 분할율에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 수행하였다. 도축장에서 도축된 암소들의 혈통, 생체중, 및 월령을 기준으로 적출된 난소를 분류한 후, 난소 모양, 황체, 백체 및 난포액 분포 양상을 확인하였고, 개체별 한우 난소에서 18G 주사침이 장착된 5ml 주사기를 이용하여 난자를 채취한 후, 실체현미경으로 관찰하여 난구세포가 난자주변을 둘러싸고 있는 난자를 회수 하였다. 회수한 미성숙난자를 25mM HEPES 와 10% FBS 가 첨가된 TCM-199 으로 옮겨 2~3 회 세정한 후, follicle stimulating hormone(FSH, Sigma) 0.5 μg/ml, luteinizing hormone(LH, Sigma) 0.5μg/ml, β-estradiol(Sigma)1μg/ml 가 첨가된 미성숙 난자의 체외성숙배지 BO, TCM199, 및 IVMD101 를 각각 사용하여 22 시간 동안 38.5℃, 5% CO2 배양기에서 성숙시켰다. 동결정액은 동일한 보증씨수소 정액을 37.5℃에서 30 초간 융해 하였으며, 최종 정자에는 IVF100 을 첨가하여 각각의 정자 droplet 에 난자들을 38.5℃, 5% CO2 조건의 배양기에 5~6 시간동안 체외수정 하였다. 연구 결과, 무혈통 번식 한우의 체외성숙 배지별 분할율은 BO 배양액에서 23.99%였고, TCM199 에서 47.99%, IVMD101 에서 40.04%로, BO 가 가장 낮았고 TCM199 가 높은 경향을 나타냈다. 개체별 체중에 따른 난자의 체외성숙 배지별 분할율은 480kg 미만의 경우, TCM199 에서 72.73%였고, IVMD101 에서 33.77%로 TCM199 이 월등히 높았다. 480-639kg 의 경우, TCM199 에서 50.05%였고, IVMD101 에서 55.11%로 IVMD101 가 높았으나 비슷한 양상을 나타냈다. 640-699kg 의 경우는 TCM199 에서 65.38 %였고, IVMD101 에서 47.92%로 TCM199 가 높았으며, 700kg 이상의 경우에는 TCM199 에서 61.75%, IVMD101 에서 55.63%로 TCM199 가 더 높게 나타났다. 개체별 월령에 따른 난자의 체외성숙 배지별 분할율은 39 개월 미만의 경우, TCM199 에서 62.41%, IVMD101에서 50.00%로 TCM199 이 높았고, 39-50 개월미만의 경우에는 TCM199 에서 51.22%, IVMD101 에서 49.89%로 TCM199 이 더 높은 경향을 보였다. 50 개월 이상의 경우에는 IVMD101 에서 57.40%로 TCM199 에서 52.25%보다 높게 나타났다. 결과적으로 체중별로 채취된 난자는 TCM199 에서 분할율이 높았으며, 월령별로 채취된 난자는 50 개월이상의 경우 IVMD101 에서 분할율이 높았으나 39-50 개월미만과 39 개월미만의 경우 TCM199 에서 분할율이 높아 다른 경향을 보였다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 체중, 월령 및 배양 배지에 따라서 분할율의 향상과 이때 발현되는 번식형질 유전자의 발현에 관한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of co-culture of bovine oocytes with cumulus cells on in vitro maturation and development following in vitro fertilization in bovine oocytes. Bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) and denuded oocytes (DO) were co-cultured with the cumulus cells in TCM199 for 20~22 hr, and evaluated the nuclear type of oocyte. After in vitro maturation, oocytes were coincubated for in vitro fertilization with frozen-thawed spermatozoa selected by 65% percoll in DM-Heparin and DM-Caffeine for 15~18 hr. Presumptive zygotes were cultured for 48 hr in CR1aa in vitro culture medium with 10% FBS, and evaluated the cleavage rates. The results confirmed that the highest percentage of metaphase II (M-II) stage was observed in COCs (30.1±3.5%, 24.2±1.8%) as compared to DO (7.1±1.3%, 17.4±13.9%) (p<0.05). In addition, the increased cleavage rates were obtained from COCs (69.6±2.1%, 75.6±2.9%) when compared to DO (21.6±7.5%, 29.5±12.6%) (p<0.05). In conclusion, this study suggested that cumulus cells secreted positive factors during in vitro maturation of oocytes and early embryonic development after in vitro fertilization of bovine oocytes.

The objective of this study was to identify a follicular fluid ingredient inhibiting the cumulus oocyte complex (COC) expansion. Thus, follicular fluid or liquid chromatographic fractions of follicular fluid was supplemented in COC culture medium. And COCs were incubated for 48 hours to investigate about cumulus expansion and also the first polar body extrusion. The results obtained were as follows; 1. The fluid of medium follicle significantly inhibited the COC expansion. 2. The fluid of large follicle inhibited the COC expansion. 3. Follicular fluid showed six major fractions at retention volumes (RVs) 1.83, 1.91, 2.15, 2.34, 2.53 and 2.74 ml after separation with Superose 12 column. Of the major fractions, fractions RV2.15, RV2.34, RV2.53 and RV2.74 inhibited both COC expansion and polar body extrusion. Especially, fractions of RV2.15 and RV2.53 significantly inhibited COC expansion, oocyte denudation and polar body extrusion. In conclusion, porcine follicular fluid contained a COC expansion inhibiting ingredient (CEI) that may be contained largely in fractions RV2.15 and RV2.53. And CEI may inhibit oocyte maturation by inhibition of oocyte denudation and extrusion of the first polar body.

The studies were carried out to investigate the effects of co-culture with cumulus cells and oviduct epithelial cells on the in vitro fertilization and cleavage rate of bovine follicular cocytes and to determine the optimum thawing temperature and equilibration time on in vitro developmental rate of frozen bovine embryos. The ovaries were obtained from slaughtered Korean native cows. The follicular oocytes were cultured in TGM-199 medium containing 10 IU /ml의 PM SG, 10 IU /ml의 hCG, ip g/ml의 -estradiol and 10% FCS for 24~48 hrs in incubator with 5% in air at 38.5. The bovine embryos following dehydration by cryoprotective agents and a various concentration of sucrose were directly plunged into liquld nitrogen and thawed in 3 water. Survival rate was defined as developmental rate on in vitro culture or FDA-test. The results are sunanarized as followes :1. The in vitro fertilization and in vitro developmental rates of bovine oocytes co-cultured with cumulus cells in TCM499 medium were 75.0~76.8% and 17.3~27.6%, respect-ively. And in-vitro fertilization rates of cumulus-enclosed oocytes(55.4%)were significantly(p<0.05) higher than cumulus-denuded oocytes (23.1%). 2. The in vitro fertilization and in vitro developmental rates of bovine oocytes co-cultured with l l04cells /ml, 1 x l06cells /ml, lx l08cells /ml and 1 x l015cells /ml oviduct epithelial cells in TCM-199 medium were 74.5~77.8% and 15.7~21.20 respectively.3. The in-vitro fertilization and in vitro developmental rates of bovine oocytes cocultured in '1CM-199 media containing PMSG, hCG, PMSG+hCG. PMSG+-estradiol, hCG+-estradiol 0 to 40 hrs after insemination were 74.0~77.4% and l8.9~23.l%, re-spectiv ely.4.The survival rates of bovine embryos thawed after rapid freezing in the freezing medium containing a various concentration of sucrose added 1.5M and 2.OM glycerol,DMSO and propanediol were 23.5~31.4% and 20.6~34.l%, respectively. 5. The temperature thawed at 3 after rapid freezing of bovine embryos resulted in a significantly higher embryos survival rate than did at 2 and 35.6. The equilibration time on the survival rates of bovine embryos was attained after short period of time(2.5~5 min.) in the freezing medium higher than long period of time (10~20min.).

This study was carried out to determine the effect of cumulus cell attachment and various factors on in vitro maturation of pig foflicular oocytes. Oocytes with various configuration of cumulus cell mass were collected ftom ovaries of mature gilts by asperating with syringe equipped with needles of different gauges, follicle size and with or without cumulus cells. They were cultured in TCM-199 mediun containing FGS(fetal calf serum) for 30~48 hours in incubator with air containing 5% at 38.5. Mter orcein staining at in vitro maturation condition, GV, GVBD, anaphase, telophase and M II were observed. Results are surumarized as follows: 1. Recovery rates were 55.8, 55.5 and 34.4% when the cumulus-compacted oocytes were collected with 18, 21, 26 gauge needles of syringes, respectively. 2. 79% of oocytes with compacted cumulus cells were at GV stage and most of the oocytes with partially denuded and denuded cumulus cells were from GVBD to M- II stages. 3. Percentage of mature oocytes among those which are follicular diameter of 1~2, 3~6 and over 6 mm was 42.6, 53.2 and 60.8%, respectively. 4. Percentage of mature oocytes among those which are compacted, partially denuded and denuded was 60.5, 46.2 and 35.4% respectively. 5. Percentage of mature oocytes in co-cultured with monolayers of cumulus cells was higher (57.1%) than that found with oocytes cultured alone (53.4%).
