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。     

完整的供体细胞膜及供体胞质对小鼠体细胞克隆胚发育的影响

利用显微注射和电融合的方法都可以成功地获得体细胞克隆小鼠, 由于电融合法操作耗时, 融合率低, 因而大多数克隆小鼠是采用注射方法。而注射法需要将供体细胞核从细胞中分离出来, 此分离操作有可能导致对DNA的损伤, 曾有人使用直径较粗的注射管进行完整的供体细胞注射, 这种方法操作相对简单而且对供体核没有损伤。为了研究这种方法在小鼠核移植中是否适用, 本实验使用完整的小鼠卵丘细胞作供体, 进行显微注射, 结果显示, 完整的卵丘细胞注入卵母细胞后, 无论在1小时或者6小时激活, 大部分的重构胚在2细胞期碎裂, 而去掉细胞膜的供体体细胞核注入卵母细胞后, 重构胚可以卵裂并进一步发育。卵母细胞去核后不注射供体也发生碎裂, 大部分的孤雌胚(不去核)在完整的卵丘细胞被注入后同样发生碎裂。在供体卵丘细胞刚破膜后即被注入卵胞质和供核被充分剥离后注入两种情况下获得的重构胚的体外发育中, 前者发育各期的比率显著低于后者。这些结果说明完整的卵丘细胞膜阻碍了卵胞质对体细胞核的重编程作用, 造成碎裂; 注入卵胞质的供体质膜和胞质成分影响了克隆胚的体外发育。

小鼠体细胞核移植程序的研究

采用直接去核法、透明带切割法、PMM法3种核移植方法进行小鼠卵母细胞去核的研究。3种方法都未对卵母细胞核进行示踪,仅以第一极体作为参照进行去核,都属于盲吸法范畴,在去核率上没有显著差异。直接去核法对卵母细胞造成较大的伤害,去核操作过程中极易使卵母细胞膜破裂,发生崩解;透明带切割法分步操作使操作变得柔和,对卵母细胞的刺激减小,去核卵母细胞的存活率较高;PMM法靠脉冲电压在透明带上打孔进行辅助去核,脉冲参数稍大或压透明带太紧都极易在击破透明带的同时击破卵膜,使卵母细胞发生崩解。在构建重构胚的过程中,胞质内注射法较电融合法而言,程序简单,带入的供体胞质较少,构建重构胚的效率更高。

猪卵母细胞体外成熟的发育潜力及核移植重构胚构建方法的研究

为了提高猪体细胞核移植重构胚发育潜力,本研究对体外成熟28 h、32 h、36 h、40 h、44 h、48 h、52 h和56 h的猪卵母细胞分别进行去核构建重构胚.研究结果表明,成熟44 h的卵母细胞核移植后有较高的融合率(58.99%)、卵裂率(67.52%)和囊胚率(22.78%),而成熟48 h的卵母细胞则分别为56.51%、65.73%和15.96%;且卵龄为44 h的卵母细胞核移植后分裂率与囊胚率显著高于卵龄为40 h、36 h、32 h、28 h的卵母细胞的分裂率与囊胚率(P＜0.05).卵龄为48 h的卵母细胞融合率高于卵龄为52 h卵母细胞的融合率(P＜0.05).同时我们还探讨了不同去核方法(盲吸法、Hochest33342染色法和Spindle-view system)对猪体细胞核移植重构胚发育能力的影响.研究结果发现,盲吸法、Hoechest33342染色法和Spindle-view system法的去核率分别达到76.33%,100.00%和98.40%.Hoechest染色法去核率显著高于盲吸法的去核率(P＞0.05),而与Spindle-view法去核率没有差异(P＞0.05).三种方法在融合率和囊胚率方面差异不显著(P＞0.05),但Hoechest染色法的分裂率较低,差异显著(P＜0.05).进一步的研究表明,细胞质内注射进行核移植构建重构胚的分裂率和囊胚率分别为68.13%和6.44%;透明带下注射法则为60.37%和8.08%,两者差异不显著(P＜0.05);两者均可运用于猪体细胞的核移植,这为建立有效的猪体细胞核移植体系提供了参考.     

核移植后的细胞核再程序化机制研究进展

目前动物克隆技术体系极待完善,其极低的成功率及克隆动物普遍存在的早衰、早天现象是阻碍研究深入进行的首要问题,其突破的关键在于对核移植后的细胞核再程序化机制的阐明。从移植核在结构上的重塑、移植核与受体卵细胞质所处的细胞周期及其相互作用、重构胚与两性胚在分子水平的变化等多方面研究表明：受体细胞质的环境对于细胞核的再程序化至关重要,处于有丝分裂各时期的细胞作为核供体一旦移植到卵母细胞后,移植核在卵质环境里将出现结构上的重塑和分子的再程序化;移植核与受体卵问细胞周期的相容性、重构胚的染色体倍性的正确与否,可能是决定重构胚发育率高低的重要因素;合子型基因激活是基因表达再程序化的关键事件之一;印记基因对于体细胞克隆动物移植核的再程序化过程可能起着非常独特的作用。     

Two-staged nuclear transfer can enhance the developmental ability of goat�Csheep interspecies nuclear transfer embryos in vitro

The technique of interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer, in which interspecies cloned embryos can be reconstructed by using domestic animal oocytes as nuclear recipients and endangered animal or human somatic cells as nuclear donors, can afford more opportunities in endangered animal rescue and human tissue transplantation, but the application of this technique is limited by extremely low efficiency which may be attributed to donor nucleus not fully reprogrammed by xenogenic cytoplasm. In this study, goat fetal fibroblasts (GFFs) were used as nuclear donors, in vitro-matured sheep oocytes were used as nuclear recipients, and a two-stage nuclear transfer procedure was performed to improve the developmental ability of goat-sheep interspecies clone embryos. In the first stage nuclear transfer (FSNT), GFFs were injected into the ooplasm of enucleated sheep metaphase-II oocytes, then non-activated reconstructed embryos were cultured in vitro, so that the donor nucleus could be exposed to the ooplasm for a period of time. Subsequently, in the second stage nuclear transfer, FSNT-derived non-activated reconstructed embryo was centrifuged, and the donor nucleus was then transferred into another freshly enucleated sheep oocyte. Compared with the one-stage nuclear transfer, two-stage nuclear transfer could significantly enhance the blastocyst rate of goat-sheep interspecies clone embryos, and this result indicated that longtime exposure to xenogenic ooplasm benefits the donor nucleus to be reprogrammed. The two-stage nuclear transfer procedure has two advantages, one is that the donor nucleus can be exposed to the ooplasm for a long time, the other is that the problem of oocyte aging can be solved.     

Experimental cloning of embryos through human-rabbit inter-species nuclear transfer

Therapeutic cloning,which is based on human somatic cell nuclear transfer,is one of our major research objectives.Though inter-species nuclear transfer has been introduced to construct human somatic cell cloned embryos,the effects of type,passage,and preparation method of donor cells on embryo development remain unclear.In our experiment,cloned embryos were reconstructed with different passage and preparation methods of ossocartilaginous cell,skin fibroblast,and cumulus cells.The cumulus cell embryos showed significantly higher development rates than the other two (P＜0.05).The development rate of embryos reconstructed with skin fibroblasts of different passage number and somatic cells of different chilling durations showed no significant difference.Also,fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)was conducted to detect nuclear derivation of the embryos.The result showed that the nuclei of the inter-species cloned embryo cells came from human.We conclude that (1)cloned embryos can be constructed through human-rabbit interspecies nuclear transfer;(2)different kinds of somatic cells result in different efficiency of nuclear transfer,while in vitro passage of the donor does not influence embryo development;(3)refrigeration is a convenient and efficient donor cell preparation method.Finally,it is feasible to detect DNA gcnotype through FISH.     

Cloned mice derived from somatic cell nuclei

In 1997, a cloned sheep "Dolly" was produced by nuclear transfer of somatic cell. The first birth of cloned mice derived from some somatic cells were succeeded in 1998. At present, it is shown that somatic cells, cumulus cells, fibroblasts and Sertoli cells can be used to the study of cloned animal as nuclear donor. In this study investigation was designed to compare with efficiency on the production of cloned embryos by using the microinjection and the electrofusion methods for nuclear transfer. Oocyte enucleation was performed with a micromanipulator. The oocyte was held by holding pipette, and was enucleated using a beveled pipette. Microinjection method: Cell's nucleus injection was carried out by piezo-micromanipulator. Cytochalasin B treated cumulus cell was aspirated into a injection pipette, and was broken its plasma membrane using the injection pipette. Then, the cumulus cell was injected into the enucleated ooplasm directly. Electrofusion method: The cell was aspirated into a beveled pipette, and then an aspirated cell was inserted into perivitelline space. Then, the pair of enucleated oocyte and cell was fused using electrical cell fusion apparatus. The reconstituted embryos were activated after nuclear transfer using St2+. Reconstituted embryos had been produced by the microinjection showed the embryonic development to over 8-cell stages. But, the rate of fragmentation of reconstituted embryos by the microinjection showed a little high rate in comparison with the electrofusion. When some reconstituted embryos by the microinjection were transplanted to pseudopregnant females' oviduct, 9 fetuses were observed at 14 days post coitum.     

体细胞核移植诱导的表观遗传学变化

体细胞核移植技术是指将一个分化的体细胞核置入去核的卵母细胞中,并发育产生与供体细胞遗传背景一致的克隆后代的技术。目前,世界上通过体细胞核移植技术已经产生了许多的克隆动物。但克隆过程中还存在着很多问题,比如,克隆效率太低、克隆个体常伴有表型异常和早亡等,从而使该技术应有的应用潜力不能得到充分的发挥。体细胞表观遗传学重编程的不完全或紊乱是造成核移植诸多问题的主要原因。近十多年来,人们对体细胞核移植后的重编程进行了广泛的研究,其核心内容包括核及核外结构的重塑、DNA甲基化模式的重建、基因印迹和x染色体失活、组蛋白乙酰化模式的重建、端粒长度恢复等,以期能够对其重编程加以人为干预,从而提高动物克隆效率。本文拟对体细胞核移植诱导的重编程研究进展加以综述,希望对体细胞重编程机制的阐明有所启发。     

人-兔异种核移植构建克隆胚的实验研究

“治疗性克隆”是人类最关注的课题之一,而人体细胞核移植是治疗性克隆的基础和前提。异种核移植的方法虽已被引入人体细胞克隆胚的构建,但供体细胞的类型、培养代数及准备方法与其效率之间的关系尚有待探讨。本实验以不同培养代数和不同准备方法的人卵丘细胞、皮肤成纤维细胞和软骨细胞为供体构建了克隆胚,对其发育情况的比较表明,以卵丘细胞为供体时重构胚的体外发育率高于其余二者,差异显著（P〈0．05）;不同培养代数的成纤维细胞克隆胚和不同冷藏天数供体细胞克隆胚体外发育率无明显差异。此外,本实验还尝试用荧光原位杂交法检测所构建的异种克隆胚核遗传物质的来源,结果显示来自人体细胞。本研究表明,人一兔异种核移植构建克隆胚切实可行;体细胞的类型与核移植效率相关;供体细胞的体外培养传代对克隆胚的发育并无影响;而冷藏是一种简便有效的供体细胞准备方法;此外,用FISH方法对重构胚进行核遗传物质的鉴定切实可行。     

Experimental cloning of embryos through human-rabbit inter-species nuclear transfer

Therapeutic cloning, which is based on human somatic cell nuclear transfer, is one of our major research objectives. Though inter-species nuclear transfer has been introduced to construct human somatic cell cloned embryos, the effects of type, passage, and preparation method of donor cells on embryo development remain unclear. In our experiment, cloned embryos were reconstructed with different passage and preparation methods of ossocartilaginous cell, skin fibroblast, and cumulus cells. The cumulus cell embryos showed significantly higher development rates than the other two (P < 0.05). The development rate of embryos reconstructed with skin fibroblasts of different passage number and somatic cells of different chilling durations showed no significant difference. Also, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was conducted to detect nuclear derivation of the embryos. The result showed that the nuclei of the inter-species cloned embryo cells came from human. We conclude that (1) cloned embryos can be constructed through human-rabbit interspecies nuclear transfer; (2) different kinds of somatic cells result in different efficiency of nuclear transfer, while in vitro passage of the donor does not influence embryo development; (3) refrigeration is a convenient and efficient donor cell preparation method. Finally, it is feasible to detect DNA genotype through FISH. Translated from Zoological Research, 2005, 26(4): 416–421 [译自: 动物学研究]     

Effect of cytoplast on the development of inter-subspecies nuclear transfer reconstructed goat embryo

The aim of this study was to investigate effect of cytoplast on the development competence of reconstructed embryos derived from inter-subspecies somatic cell nucleus transfer (SCNT). First, the development potency of reconstructed embryos produced by transferring Boer goat fibroblast cell nucleus of different ages into enucleated Sannen goat ova was evaluated in order to determine which age of nuclear donor is favorable for the reconstructed embryos development. Secondly, the another component of reconstructed embryos, "cytoplast," was evaluated by comparing the effect of ovum cytoplast derived from Sannen male symbol x Boer female symbol descendant on the reconstructed embryos development to that of Sannen goat ovum cytoplast. The results revealed that the development rate of the reconstructed embryos derived from 2 months old Boer goat somatic cells was the highest, their gestation rate was up to 50%, and one viable male offspring was obtained. The cytoplast derived from the crossbreeding goats improves the development competence of reconstructed embryos, which birth rate was 5.5%. The genetic identification of offspring by using PCR-SSCP analysis confirmed that these cloned kids were derived from the donor. The results above reveal that the cytoplast of Sannen goat ovum could induce the dedifferentiation of somatic cell nuclei derived from Boer goat, but the reprogramming process of these reconstructed embryos seems incomplete, probably due to some incorrect processes happened after implantation. Relatedness components of nucleus donor in cytoplast of the crossbreeding goat may be helpful to induce the dedifferentiation of somatic cell nuclei completely and improve the development competence of the reconstructed embryos.
