In the present study, the effect of cysteine and NT or bisphenol A (BP) on in vitro aturation (IVM) of porcine oocytes were examined. COCs was cultured in NCSU-23 medium supplement with 10% FCS which had previously been covered with mineral oil and equilibrated in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 and 95% air at 38℃. The IVM rate of oocytes cultured for 48 hrs in NCSU-23 medium supplement with 0.5～10.0 mM cysteine were 34.0±3.2%, 36.0±3.5%, 48.0±3.8%, 22.0±3.2%, respectively. The IVM rate of oocytes cultured in NCSU-23 medium supplement with 0.5～5.0 mM NT for 48 hrs were 24.0±4.2%, 18.0±4.9%, 8.0±2.2%, respectively. NT affects oocyte in vitro maturation rate in a dose-dependent. This result were significantly lower than the control group. The IVM rate of oocytes cultured for 48 hrs in NCSU-23 medium supplement with 1.0 mM NT+5.0 mM cysteine (38.0±4.3%) were significantly higher than that of NT treatment. The IVM rate of oocytes cultured in NCSU-23 medium supplement with 0.05～5.0 mM BP for 48 hrs were 20.0±4.7%, 10.0±5.3%, 6.0±3.2%, respectively. The IVM rate of oocytes cultured in NCSU-23 medium supplement with BP was significantly lower cultured non supplement of BP (44.0±3.5%). BP affects porcine oocyte maturation rate in a dose-dependent manner. The IVM rate of oocytes cultured for 48 hrs in NCSU-23 medium supplement with 1.0 mM BP+5.0 mM cysteine (32.0±3.2%) were increased than that of BP treatment.

Presently, the effect of 0.5 mM dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP)-supplemented maturation medium during different incubation time on meiotic arrest (germinal vesicle) and resumption (metaphase II) of porcine oocytes and embryonic development of porcine oocytes following in vitro fertilization (IVF) or parthenogenetic activation (PA) was determined. Porcine cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) were cultured in 0.5 mM dbcAMP for 17, 22, 27, or 42 h, and an additional 22 h without 0.5 mM dbcAMP. The nuclear status was examined at each time point. Oocytes cultured from 39~49 h displayed more than 80% meiotic resumption. More than 85 % of meiotic arrest was presented at 17~22 h. Oocytes were cultured for 22 h with 0.5 mM dbcAMP and additional 22 h without dbcAMP to assess developmental potential following IVF or PA. There were no significant differences in blastocyst rates among the dbcAMPIVF, IVF, dbcAMP-PA, and PA groups, although cleavage rate of IVF group was significantly higher than those of dbcAMP-PA, and PA groups. In conclusion, 0.5 mM dbcAMP influenced meiotic maturation of porcine oocytes depending on incubation time of oocyte, although embryonic development was not improved in both IVF and PA.

The objective of this study was to compare of different isolation method of mouse preantral follicles, and to examine in vitro development of mouse preantral follicles isolated by different method. Preantral follicles were mechanically or enzymatically extracted from mouse ovaries. Mechanical isolation method used fine gauge needles and enzymatic method of isolating follicles used collagenase. The recovered preantral follicles were cultured for 10 days in alpha-minimal essential medium (-MEM) + 5% FBS + Insulin-Transferrin-Selenium (ITS) + 100 mIU/ml FSH. The collected primary follicles by enzymatic treatment were higher than mechanical method. Others stage preantral follicle by mechanical isolation were higher than enzymatic method. After 10 days of culture, no statistical differences were shown in survival rates of preantral follicle among the 2 culture groups. The metaphase II rates of the oocytes were significantly higher (p<0.05) in mechanical method (17.8%) than in enzymatic method (5.1%). These results suggest that the isolation method of choice depends on the target stage preantral follicles and mechanical isolation is an optimal method of preantral folliclesin a culture of mouse preantral follicle.

In all the studies of mammalian species, chromatin in the germinal vesicle (GV) is initially decondensed with the nucleolus not surrounded by heterochromatin (the NSN configurations). During oocyte growth, the GV chromatin condenses into perinucleolar rings (the SN configurations) or other corresponding configurations with or without the perinucleolar rings, depending on species. During oocyte maturation, the GV chromatin is synchronized in a less condensed state before germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) in species that has been minutely studied. As not all the species show the SN configuration and gene transcription always stops at the late stage of oocyte growth, it is suggested that a thorough condensation of GV chromatin is essential for transcriptional repression. Because the GV chromatin status is highly correlated with oocyte competence, oocytes must end the NSN configuration before they gain the full meiotic competence and they must take on the SN/corresponding configurations and stop gene transcription before they acquire the competence for early embryonic development. In this study, we firstly investigated whether the layer of cumulus cells and size of oocytes could determine chromatin configurations in porcine oocytes. Using Hoechst3342 staining, the GV nucleolus and chromatin of porcine oocytes was classified into SN and NSN configurations. Next, we examined the changes in GV chromatin configurations during growth and maturation of porcine oocytes. In addition, the maturation and parthenogenetic development abilities in vitro were significant different between the SN and NSN configurations oocytes. These results indicated that chromatin changes in GV oocytes affect the development potential of parthenogenetic embryos.

Unstable Epigenetic reprogramming was DNA methylation, imprinting, RNA silencing, co-valent modifications of histones and remodelling by other chromatin-associated complexes. After fusion with an enucleated oocyte, a differentiated somatic cell can restructure its genetic program and acquire totipotent characteristics. However, these cases happen only with low frequency. primordial germ cells (PGC) was effectively remove of epigenetic modifications in the genetic totipotency which is necessary for the development. The present study was in vitro development of reconstruct PGC NT embryos compared with somatic cell NT embryos. The rate of cleavage did not differ between NT embryos from PGC and somatic cells (87.26 vs 91.36%). However, the rate of development to the blastocyst stage was significantly higher in PGC cell NT than somatic cell NT (31.03 vs 19.27%). PGC from a slightly younger stage of development have succeed to promote normal development of recipient eggs. This difference in results between germ cell and somatic cell nuclear transfers could only be a reflection of intimate differences in their reprograming. These results suggest that PGC NT embryos are significantly higher for the in vitro development. Furthermore, These study may represent an approach towards achieving better production of transgenic animal.

Culture of preantral follicles has important biotechnological implications through its potential to produce large quantities of oocytes for embryo production and transfer. The objective of this study was to determine the comparison of different isolation method of mouse preantral follicles, and to examine in vitro development of mouse preantral follicles isolated by different method. Preantral follicles were mechanically or enzymatically extracted from mouse ovaries. Mechanical isolation method used fine gauge needles and enzymatic method of isolating follicles used 1 mg/ml collagenage (Type IA) and 0.2 mg/ml DNase Ⅰ in Leibovitz L-15 medium. The solution containing Leibovitz L-15 medium, enzyme and ovary fragments was incubated at 37℃ for 30 min. The selection criteria are as follows: primary follicle of 75 to 99 μm, early secondary follicle of 100 to 125 μm and late secondary follicle of 126 to 150 μm in diameter. The recovered preantral follicles were cultured for 10 days in alpha-minimal essential medium (α-MEM) + 5% FBS + ITS + 100 mIU/ ml FSH. The collected primary follicles by enzymatic treatment were higher than mechanical method. Others stage preantral follicle by mechanical isolation were higher than enzymatic method. After 10 days of culture, no statistical differences were shown in survival rates of preantral follicle among the 2 culture groups. The metaphase Ⅱ rates of the oocytes were significantly higher (p<0.05) in mechanical method (17.8%) than in enzymatic method (5.1%). These results suggest that the isolation method of choice depends on the target stage preantral follicles and mechanical isolation is an optimal method of preantral follicles in a culture of mouse preantral follicle.

Acteoside (verbascoside) is a typical phenylethanoid glycoside, extracted from various plants. It has various biological functions such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammation, and anti-hypertension. Specially, it was powerful anti-oxidants either by direct scavenging of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, or by acting as chain-breaking peroxyl radical scavengers. We examined the role of acteoside in IVM medium on the morphological progress of meiosis, developmental competence, and ROS in porcine oocytes. And we investigated effect of acteoside on the oocytes condition represented by cytoplasmic maturation by homogeneous distribution and formation of cytoplasmic organelles and regulation of apoptosis-related genes. The selected COCs were cultured in TCM-199 with various concentration of acteoside: 0 (control), 10, 30, and 50 μM. After 22 h of maturation with hormones, the oocytes were washed twice in a fresh maturation medium before being cultured in hormone-free medium for additional 22 h. The oocytes maturation rates of supplemented with acteoside were no significantly different compared with control group (71.13, 75.96, 72.95 and 73.68%, respectively). Level of ROS was significantly decreased in acteoside treated group. Furthermore, the parthenogenetic blastocyst rate was significantly improved in 10 μM acteoside treated group compared with control group (40.03 vs. 22.95%). During IVM, 10 μM acteoside treated oocytes showed that the mitochondria and lipid droplet were smaller and homogeneous distribution in cytoplasm compare with non-treated control oocytes. And reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) witarthenogenetic blstocysts revealed that acteoside increased the anti-apoptoticgenes, otherwise reibued pro-apoptotic genes. In conclusion, our results represents that addition of acteoside to the IVM medium has a beneficial effect in physiology of porcine oocytes such as viability and activation, providing a improved method for porcine oocytes in vitro.

The present study investigated the effects of resveratrol (a phytoalexin with various pharmacological activities) during in vitro maturation (IVM) of porcine oocytes on nuclear maturation, intracellular glutathione (GSH), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, gene expressions in matured oocytes, cumulus cells, and IVF-derived blastocysts, and subsequent embryonic development after parthenogenetic activation (PA) and in vitro fertilization (IVF). In the nuclear maturation after 44 h IVM, the groups of 0.1, 0.5, and 2.0 μM (83.0%, 84.1%, and 88.3%, respectively) had no significant difference compared to the control (84.1%), but the group of 10.0 μM decreased the nuclear maturation (75.0%) significantly (p<0.05). The groups of 0.5 and 2.0 μM showed a significant (p<0.05) increase in intracellular GSH levels compared to the control and 10.0 μM groups. Intracellular ROS level of oocytes matured with 2.0 μM resveratrol was significantly (p<0.05) decreased compared to the other groups. Oocytes treated with 2.0 μM resveratrol during IVM had significantly higher blastocyst formation rate, and total cell numbers after PA (62.1% and 49.1 vs. 48.8%, and 41.4, respectively) and IVF (20.5% and 54.0 vs. 11.0% and 43.4, respectively) compared to the control group. Cumulus-oocytes complex (COCs) treated with 2.0 μM resveratrol were showed lower (p<0.05) expressions of apoptosis-related genes in both matured oocytes (Bax, Bak, and Caspase-3) and cumulus cells (Bax). In IVF-derived blastocysts derived from 2.0 μM resveratrol treated oocytes had also decreased (p<0.05) expression of Bak compared to the control. In conclusion, the 2.0 μM resveratrol supplementation during IVM improved the developmental potential of PA and IVF in porcine embryos by increasing the intracellular GSH level, decreasing ROS level, and regulating apoptosis-related genes expression during oocyte maturation.

In this study, we examined the effects of porcine granulocyte-macrophage colonystimulating factor (pGM-CSF) on in vitro development of porcine embryos produced by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) at first time. The objective of present study was to verify effects of pGM-CSF on SCNT-derived blastocyst formation and evaluate gene expressions and qualities of the blastocyst formed after pGM-CSF treatment. Data were analyzed with SPSS 17.0 using Duncan’s multiple range test. A total 522 cloned embryos in 6 replicates were treated with 10 ng/ml concentration of pGM-CSF during in vitro culture (IVC). It was demonstrated that treatment of 10 ng/ml pGM-CSF could increase blastocyst formation and total cell number in blastocyst significantly (p<0.05) compared to the control (12.3% and 41.4 vs. 9.0% and 34.7, respectively). However, there was no any effect on cleavage rate. It was found that the number of cells in the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) were significantly increased compared to the control (4.4 and 31.9, respectively) when cloned embryos were cultured with 10 ng/ml pGM-CSF (6.0 and 43.0, respectively). It was also found that treatment of 10 ng/ml pGM-CSF significantly (p<0.05) increased POU5F1 and Cdx2 mRNA expressions in blastocysts. In addition, Bcl-2 mRNA expression was found to be significantly (p< 0.05) up-regulated in blastocysts in the pGM-CSF supplemented group compared to the control. In conclusion, these results suggest that pGM-CSF may improve the quality and developmental viability of porcine cloned embryos by enhancing nuclear reprogramming via regulating transcription factors expression.

X‐box binding protein‐1 (XBP‐1) is an important regulator of a subset of genes active during endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. In the present study, we analyzed XBP‐1 level and location to explore the effect of ER stress on oocyte maturation and developmental competency of porcine embryos in an in vitro culture system. First, we examined the localization of XBP‐1 at different meiotic stages of porcine oocytes and at early stages of parthenogenetic embryo development. Fluorescence staining showed that expression of functional XBP‐1 was weak in mature oocytes and at the one‐cell, two‐cell, and eight‐cell stages of embryos, but abundant at the GV oocyte, four‐cell, morula, and blastocyst stages. In addition, RT‐PCR revealed that both spliced XBP‐1 (XBP‐1s ) and unspliced XBP‐1 (XBP‐1u) were expressed at the GV oocyte, four‐cell, morula, and blastocyst stages. Tunicamycin (TM), an ER stress inducer, blocked porcine embryonic development at the four‐cell stage, exhibiting the effect on embryonic genome activation. Next, porcine embryos cultured in the presence of tauroursodeoxycholate (TUDCA), an ER stress inhibitor, were studied. Total cell numbers and the extent of the ICM increased (p<0.05), whereas the rate of nuclear apoptosis decreased (p<0.05). Moreover, expression of the anti‐apoptotic gene Bcl‐2 increased whereas expression of the pro‐apoptotic genes Bcl‐xl and p53 decreased. The results indicated that inhibition of ER stress enhanced porcine oocyte maturation and embryonic development by preventing ER stress‐mediated apoptosis in vitro.

This study investigated whether the addition of porcine sperm cytosolic factor (SCF) at fusion/activation affects in vitro development of porcine parthenogenetic(PA) and nuclear transfer (NT) embryos. To determine the optimum concentration of SCF, control group of oocytes was activated with 0.3M mannitol (1.0 mM CaCl2 ․ 2H2O), other three groups of oocytes were parthenogentically activated with the fusion medium (0.1mM CaCl2 ․ 2H2O) supplemented with 100, 200 or 300 μg/ml SCF, respectively. Matured oocytes were activated with two electric pulses (DC) of 1.2 kv/cm for 30 μsec. The activated embryos were cultured in PZM-3 under 5% CO2 in air at 38.5℃ for 6 days. Oocytes activated in the presence of SCF showed a significantly higher blastocyst rate than control (p<0.05). Apoptosis rate was significantly lower in 100 μg/ml SCF group than other groups (p<0.05). Cdc2 kinase activity in control and SCF treatment group of oocytes was determined using MESACUP cdc2 kinase assay kit at 1, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 and 60 min after activation. Cdc2 kinase activity was significantly decreased (p<0.05) in SCF group than MII oocytes or control within 5 min. For NT embryo production, reconstructed oocytes were fused in the fusion medium supplemented with 0.1 mM CaCl2 ․ 2H2O (T1), 1.0 mM CaCl2 ․ 2H2O (T2) and 0.1 mM CaCl2 ․ 2H2O with 100 μg/ml SCF (T3). Fused embryos were cultured in PZM-3 under 5% CO2 in air at 38.5℃ for 6 days. Developmental rate to blastocyst stage was significantly higher in T3 than other groups (23.0% vs. 13.5 to 15.2%) (p<0.05). Apoptosis rate was significantly lower in T3 than T1 or T2 (p<0.05). The relative abundance of Bax-α/Bcl-xl was significantly lower in in vivo or SCF group than that of control (p<0.05). Moreover, the expression of p53 and caspase3 mRNA was significantly lower in in vivo or SCF group than that of control (p<0.05). These results indicate that the addition of SCF at fusion/activation might improve in vitro development of porcine NT embryos through regulating cdc2 kinase level and expression of apoptosis related genes.

These study was to investigate the in vitro fertilization and viability of fresh and vitrified oocytes. Also, the developmental capacity of IVF and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) oocytes were investigated. Then vitrification was performed with the use of 20% ethylene glycol + 20% DMSO + 0.5 M sucrose + 10% FCS + TCM-199 medium. Vitrification immature oocytes are cultured in vitrification solution for 10 min afterwards transferred to expose at room temperature for 5 min. and transferred to the ice water for 5 min. The oocytes were sealed in a 1.0 mm straw and placed in a LN2 container. Frozen oocytes were rapidly thawed in a water bath at 30～35℃, and then placed in TCM-199 medium containing 0.5 M sucrose for 5 min each, respectively, at 38℃. After being washed for 2～3 times, using fresh medium the oocytes were cultured in TCM-199 medium supplemented with 5% FCS at 38℃ in 5% CO2 and air. The normal morphology of fresh and vitrified-thawed oocytes were 87.1±2.1% and 54.8±2.5%, respectively. The viability rates of fresh and vitrified-thawed oocytes were 70.0±2.2% and 41.9±2.6%, respectively. Viability rates of vitrified-thawed oocytes were lower than that of fresh follicular oocytes (p<0.05). The in vitro maturation rates of fresh and vitrified oocytes were 45.1±3.6% and 28.9±4.4%, respectively. The IVF rates of fresh follicular and vitrified-thawed oocytes were 34.0±2.2% and 20.2±2.6%, respectively. The in vitro maturation and fertilization rates of vitrified-thawed oocytes were lower than those of the fresh follicular oocytes (p<0.05). A total of 350 oocytes were fixed and stained after co-incubation with spermatozoa, of which 88 had identifiable nuclear material. After IVF for 20 hrs, 25.1±3.4% of the oocytes found to have been penetrated by spermatozoas. Oocytes were fixed and stained after ICSI, and 105 oocytes contained identifiable nuclear material. After IVF and ICSI for 20 hrs, 34.3±3.4% and 59.0±2.0% of the oocytes were found to have been penetrated by spermatozoas. The developmental rates upon ICSI were significantly higher than those of the IVF method (p<0.05).

The in vitro maturation rate of vitrified-thawed canine oocytes was 30.8±3.4%. The in vitro maturation rate of vitrified oocytes was lower than that of the control (52.0±2.5%, p<0.05). The in vitro maturation rate of vitrified-thawed oocytes were significantly (p<0.05) lower than those of fresh oocytes. The in vitro maturation and developmental rates of the vitrified-thawed oocytes were 17.5±2.5% and 8.8±3.4%, respectively. This results were lower than the control group (43.6±3.2% vs 20.0±3.0%). SOD1 gene expression of 1～2 mm of follilce size were higher than those of above 6 mm follicle size. SOD2 gene expression of 1～2 mm of follicle size were significantly higher than those of above 6 mm follicle size (p<0.01). The expression pattern of SOD1, 2 was constantly expressed in both groups but strongly expressed in follicles (1～2 mm) group when compared to the above 6 mm follicles. SOD gene expression between groups the fresh and vitrified oocytes groups were significant differences in rates. However, RGS gene expression between groups the fresh and vitrified oocytes groups were no significant differences in rates.

In this study, we examined the effectiveness of in vitro fertilization of porcine immature oocytes on the embryo development of blastocysts or hatched blastocysts and the number of cells according to the in vitro fertilization conditions. In the in vitro fertilization of in vitro matured porcine oocytes, there were no significant differences between treatment groups regarding fertilization rate, blastocyst rate, and embryo development of hatched blastocysts according to the storage periods of liquid sperm of 24, 48, and 72 hours. The embryo development rate of hatched blastocysts after the fertilization according to different spermatozoa concentrations (, , and cells/ml) showed the highest rate in the group with a spermatozoa concentration of cells/ml; in particular, this rate was significantly higher than that in the cells/ml group (p<0.05). The total number of blastocysts cells as well as trophectoderms (TE) that developed in each treatment group were also significantly higher in the cells/ml group than in any other groups (p<0.05). In contrast, the embryo development rate of blastocysts according to different co-incubation periods of sperm and oocyte (1, 3, and 6 hr) was high in the 6-hour group; in particular, the rate was significantly higher than that of the I-hour group (p<0.05). Furthermore, the total number of oocytes cells and TEs that developed was significantly higher in the 6-hour group than any other group (p<0.05). In this study, the most effective treatment conditions for porcine embryo development and high cell number were found to be as follows: a sperm storage period of less than 72 hours, a spermatozoa concentration of cells/ml, and a 6-hour co-incubation period for sperm and ooocyte.

Optimization of the preimplantation mammalian embryo culture condition was widely focused on refining medium composition under the name of chemically defined media. However, recent research revealed that the alteration of physical environment can be a crucial factor to a successful embryo development. In this study, under the same embryo density, a novel culture device named oil-free micro tube culture (MTC) system was evaluated using porcine parthenogenetic embryos. The activated oocytes were placed into the 0.2 ml thin-wall flat cap PCR tube and cultured to the blastocyst stage. As a preliminary step, embryo density and culture medium volume were optimized under a standard drop culture system. The optimal embryo density range for in vitro culture was 0.5 embryos per in drop (20.5%) and 1.0 embryos per in drop (20.6%). Based on these results, we compared drop culture system and 'MTC' system in terms of the developmental rate to the blastocyst stage. In medium volume, the 'MTC' system showed similar blastocyst formation rate when compared with drop culture system (20.2% versus 20.5%, respectively) while the 'MTC' system showed lower blastocyst formation rate than drop culture system in one (12.7% versus 20.0%, respectively). Therefore the MTC system may be an alternative incubation system for short-distance embryo transport without carrying the incubator and this provides novel embryo culture device to clinical veterinary embryologists.

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.
