供体细胞与哺乳动物体细胞核移植

哺乳动物体细胞核移植(克隆)技术在转基因动物生产、珍稀动物资源复原与保护、生物学基础研究等方面业已显示出重要的应用价值,而目前该技术还与诱导多能干细胞技术一同被认为是创制患者特异性多能干细胞,为再生医学临床"细胞治疗"提供素材的最佳手段。但是,体细胞克隆的效率仍不理想,关键机制还不清楚,严重制约了该技术的推广。因此,如何提高克隆效率已成为人们普遍关心的首要问题。在体细胞克隆技术所涉及的各环节中,供体细胞是影响克隆效率的最关键因素之一。该文从供体细胞的生物学因素和技术因素两方面进行了回顾,旨在为进一步探寻建立物种或供体细胞个性化准备方案,为提高动物克隆效率提供参考。     

牛供体细胞的来源、血清饥饿和预激活对核移植卵体外胚胎发育

牛皮肤成纤维细胞经血清饥饿或预激活处理后获得核胞体,并注入去核卵母细胞内构建重组胚。检查重组胚24 h和36 h卵裂率以及8 d囊胚率,以评估供体细胞及其处理方法对体细胞核移植效果的影响。实验结果表明：来自3个年龄(6、18和36月龄)、2个品系(红安格斯肉牛和荷斯坦奶牛)的4头供体牛皮肤细胞重组胚的卵裂率和囊胚率均无差异。生长到完全汇合的36月龄荷斯坦牛供体细胞血清饥饿10-13 d组重组胚的36 h卵裂率显著低于0 d(对照)、3-5 d和6-9 d组,囊胚率显著低于3-5 d组;经5 μmol/L离子霉素或7%乙醇预激活5 min重组胚的卵裂率和囊胚率均与对照组无差异。     

体细胞来源及培养代数对核移植重构胚发育的影响

为探讨体细胞来源及培养代数对核移植重构胚发育的影响,实验采用电融合法将小鼠2—细胞胚胎卵裂球、胚胎干细胞(ES)、胎儿成纤维细胞、耳成纤维细胞、尾尖成纤维细胞、睾丸支持细胞和精原细胞以及不同培养代次的胎儿成纤维细胞进行了核移植。结果显示：2—细胞胚胎卵裂球供核重构胚发育最好,囊胚率为7．4％;ES细胞重构胚虽然发育率低,但仍有囊胚出现,比例为0．7％;胎儿成纤维细胞重构胚最高发育阶段为桑椹胚,比例为0．2％;精原细胞重构胚只能发育到8-细胞阶段,比例为0．3％;其他几类细胞重构胚则仅能发育至4-细胞阶段。不同培养代数的胎儿成纤维细胞重构胚除第3代外都可发育到8-细胞阶段,且发育率差异不显著,但第一代细胞重构胚2-细胞发育率(40．7％)显著低于2、3和4代细胞重构胚。结果表明：不同分化程度的细胞核移植后,重新编程的难易程度是不一样的,分化程度越高则重新编程越难;未调整细胞周期的ES细胞由于多数处于S期,所以重构胚发育率很低;体外培养传代有利于体细胞核移植后重新编程。

用改进的细胞核移植方法构建重构胚

为了能够找出一种既容易操作,又不需要特殊设备的核移植方法,对以前的操作进行了改进。首先以预先吸有细胞核或细胞的注射针在固定于持卵针上的卵母细胞透明带上穿刺两个孔,然后一边缓慢地将注射针回拔至卵周隙中,一边逐渐增加持卵针中的负压,直至极体与目标核质被完整吸入持卵针中而完成去核,最后在不拔出注射针的情况下直接注射细胞核或完整细胞进而完成重构胚的构建。用此方法对200个卵母细胞进行注核和注细胞操作,平均完成一个重构胚的构建各自耗时约40s和30s,成功率分别为62.6%和86.0%。用核染料Hoechst 33342 对卵母细胞的去核效率进行验证,去核成功率达到73.3%。实验证明,用此方法可以在只有倒置显微镜和显微操作仪的条件下一次性快速完成去核和注核,大大提高了细胞核移植的效率和重构胚成活率;更重要的是该方法操作简单,新手可以很快掌握该技术,易于在实际工作中推广应用。     

Effects of different states of sheep fetal fibroblasts as donor cells on the early development in vitro of reconstructed sheep embryos

To investigate the effects of different states of donor cells on the development of reconstructed sheep embryos, we designed five treatments of donor cells, including cell passage, cell size, serum starvation,colchicine treatment and gene transfection. Results are as follows: ( Ⅰ ) Compared with 16-18 passage cells, the morula/blastocyst rate of 5-7 passage cells as donor nuclei was significantly higher (17.3%vs. 4.9%, P＜0.05), suggesting the advantage of short-time cultured cells in supporting the development of reconstructed embryos. (Ⅱ) The morula/blastocyst rate of reconstructed embryos derived from medium cells (15-25 μm) as donor nuclei was higher than that from large cells (25-33 μm) and small cells (8-15 μm)( 20.0% vs. 8.0%, 9.7%), indicating that reconstructed embryos from medium cells had a greater potentiality to develop into morula/blastocysts than those from small or large ones. (Ⅲ) The morula/blastocyst rate of reconstructed embryos from donor cells of SS (serum starvation) was lower than that from donor cells of NSS (non-serum starvation), but no significant difference was detected between SS and NSS( 11.8% vs. 18.6%, P＞0.05). (Ⅳ) Fetal fibroblasts treated with 0.05 μmol/L colchicine exhibited a higher morula/blastocyst rate of reconstructed embryos than those treated with 0.10 μmol/L colchicine and untreated ones (27.5% vs. 12.1%, 17.1%), however, no significant difference among the three treatments was detected (P＞0.05). (Ⅴ) The morula/blastocyst rate of reconstructed embryos from fetal fibroblasts transfected with GFP gene only was 3.1%, significantly lower than that from non-transgenic cells (3.1% vs. 20.4%, P＜0.05). In conclusion, our results demonstrated that fetal fibroblasts of fewer passages, medium size could ensure a higher morula/blastocyst rate of reconstructed embryos. Serum starvation of donor cells might be unnecessary to the development of reconstructed embryos. Donor cells treated with 0.05 μmol/L colchicine could facilitate the development of reconstructed embryos. Additionally, as cells transfected with GFP gene were used as donor nuclei, adverse effect on the development of reconstructed embryos was observed. Therefore, the developmental efficiency of reconstructed embryos could be improved if proper treatments to donor cells were used.     

核重编程机制的影响因素

哺乳动物体细胞核移植技术在农业、生物技术、医药生产和濒危动物保护等方面具有很大的潜力和应用价值,已成为目前发育生物学研究的重要方法。但是核重编程仍是核移植技术的关键因素,制约了重构胚胎干细胞的研究。只有供核发生完全重编程,重构胚胎才能正常发育。核重编程与供核者的年龄,供核细胞的组织来源、分化状态、细胞周期、传代次数,供核细胞的表观遗传标记以及供卵者的年龄、卵子的成熟度等因素有关。创造各种适于核重编程的条件有利于从更高的起点开展核移植胚胎干细胞的研究,提高重枸胚胎干细胞建系效率。

Effects of donor cells on in vitro development of cloned bovine embryos

The donor cells from different individuals and with different foreign genes introduced were investigated to determine their effects on the efficiency of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). The bovine ear fibroblast from different individuals was isolated, cultured, and then transfected with foreign genes to establish the stable cell lines, which were used as donor cells for nuclear transfer. The ooeytes were obtained through ovum pick up operation. After in vitro maturation, the M II phase oocytes were selected as receptors for nuclear transfer.The reconstructed embryos were cultured in vitro and observed at 2 h, 48 h, and 7 days after transfer to assess the rate of fusion using cleaved and blastoeyst as the parameters of SCNT efficiency. The donor cells from different individuals (04036, 06081, 06088, and 06129)had no obvious effect on the fusion and cleaved rate, whereas there was significant difference in the blastocyst rate (P<0.05), and the rate was 62.3%, 37.0%, 35.1%, and 15.6%, respectively. There was no significant difference among the rate of fusion, cleaved and blastocyst in donor cells with different foreign genes (P>0.05). It was concluded that the genetic background of the donor cells could affect the effi-ciency of SCNT, while the introduction of foreign genes into the donor cells had no obvious effect on the efficiency. This study provides useful information for the SCNT and would benefit in promoting the efficiency.     

核移植与供体细胞

“多莉”羊的诞生是生物界的一个里程碑,它之所以引起如此大的轰动主要是因为它来源于培养的成年绵羊乳腺上皮细胞,这是人类第一次证明分化的体细胞可以被重编程后恢复全能性并最终分化发育成一个动物个体。这说明哺乳动物分化的体细胞核仍具有全套的遗传物质并能够被卵母细胞逆转恢复全能性。然而,关于多莉的供体细胞来源却一直是克隆领域的一个谜。由于体细胞克隆的效率非常低,而用于核移植的供体细胞悬液中往往含有多种类型的细胞,这使得我们很难确切地知道最终获得的克隆动物是来源于哪一种细胞。这种不确定性给我们研究核移植诱导体细胞重编程的机制带来了很大的困难,因此,对供体细胞的研究也是核移植研究领域的一个重要课题,这包括各种组织来源的体细胞是否均可以用于核移植,终末分化的体细胞是否能够用于核移植,组织干细胞是否更有利于体细胞重编程,供体细胞的分化状态是否与核移植的效率有关,死亡的体细胞是否也可以用于核移植等等。本文综述了核移植中与供体细胞相关的最新研究进展。     

Generation of cloned calves from different types of somatic cells

Six types of bovine somatic cell lines, including a granulosa cell line of Chinese red-breed yellow cattle (YGR), a granulosa cell line of Holstein cow (HGR), two skin fibroblast cell lines of two adult Holstein cows respectively (AFB1 and AFB2), a skin fibroblast cell line (FFB) and an oviduct epithelial cell line (FOV) of a Holstein fetus, were established. Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) was carried out using these cells as nuclei donor, and a total of 12 healthy calves were cloned. The effects of different types of donor cells on developmental potential of bovine SCNT embryos were investigated, (i) There was no significant difference in development rates to the blastocyst stage for SCNT embryos from YGR and HGR (33.2% and 35.1%, respectively). Pregnancy rates of them were 33.3% and 30.2%, respectively; and birth rates were 16.7% and 11.6%, respectively, (ii) Development rates to the blastocyst stage for SCNT embryos from diffetent individuals (AFB1 and AFB2) differed significantly (27.9% and 39.4%, respectively, P < 0.05). Pregnancy rates of them were 36.2% and 36.4%, respectively; and birth rates were 14.9 % and 27.3%, respectively, (iii) There was significant difference in development rates to the blastocyst stage for SCNT embryos from FFB and FOV of the same fetus (37.9% and 41.5%, respectively,P < 0.05). Pregnancy rates of them were 45.7% and 24.1%, respectively; and birth rates were 22.9 % and 10.3%, respectively. Finally, developmental potential of bovine SCNT embryos from all four types of somatic cells from Holstein cows (HGR, AFB, FFB and FOV) were compared. Forin vitro development stage, development rates to the blastocyst stage for SCNT embryos from HGR, AFB, FFB and FOV were 35.1%^A, 29.4%^B, 37.9%^A and 41.5%^C, respectively (P ^ABC < 0.05); forin vivo development stage, pregnancy rates of them were 30.2%, 36.2%, 45.7% and 24.1%, respectively; and birth rates of them were 11.6%, 17.2%, 22.9% and 10.3% respetively.
