Cloning of mammalian oocytes requires that the recipient oocyte is enucleated to remove all genetic material associated with the chromosomes. The procedure currently used in most species requires careful micromanipulation of oocytes treated with cytochalasin B to prevent structural damage. Although functional, this procedure requires time and limits the number of oocytes available for cloning, and our ability to understand the mechanisms of nuclear reprogramming. Therefore, this study aimed at evaluating different procedures to enucleate large pools of oocytes in a time-efficient manner. Two different approaches were tested. The first approach involved centrifugation of zona-free oocytes through a percoll gradient to separate the portion containing the chromatin from the cytoplasmic portion. The second used etoposide to prevent chromatin segregation at first metaphase and resulting in the expulsion of all chromosomes in the polar body. Using the chemical approach an average enucleation rate of 39.4 +/- 7.5% was obtained, while the centrifugation approach resulted in an average enucleation rate of 66.9 +/- 6. In terms of time efficiency, the control manipulation method takes 0.11 min and the centrifugation took an average of 0.52 min per oocyte. The MPF activity at the end of procedure was estimated through the measurement of H1 activity and as expected, the etoposide-cycloheximide treated oocytes had lower H1 activity which was restored by further incubation in the maturation medium for 5 hr while the centrifugation gave a nonsignificant intermediary result. In conclusion, the results presented suggest that both the chemical and the mechanical methods are usable alternatives to micromanipulation of oocytes to generate a large number of chromosome free cytoplasm for biochemical analysis.

Germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes matured in vitro are an alternative source for cytoplasmic recipients of nuclear transfer (NT). However, the developmental potential of oocytes matured in vitro is limited. In this study, we developed a protein-free maturation medium for mouse GV oocytes. Following parthenogenetic activation, the oocytes matured in the protein-free medium develop to blastocyst stage with a high efficiency, even up to the rate obtained from in vivo MII-oocytes (90.6% vs. 92.8%). Using the oocytes matured in the protein-free medium as the recipient, NT embryos develop to the blastocyst stage (17.6%). To further improve the developmental potential of NT embryos, we performed serial NT and compared the effect of three different activated cytoplasm samples derived from in vitro matured oocytes as the second recipient, that is, the effect of in vitro fertilized (IVF) zygote, the preactivated cytoplast and the IVF cytoplast, on the development of NT embryos. We found that when the pronucleus of NT zygote was transferred into the cytoplasm of the IVF zygote, the blastocyst formation increased to 39.4%. This is the first report to demonstrate the IVF zygote from oocytes matured in protein-free medium can be used successfully as the recipient for serial NT to enhance the developmental potential of mouse NT embryos from oocytes matured in the protein-free medium.  相似文献

在已有的demecolcine(以下简称Deme)诱导去核技术路线的基础上,以昆明白小鼠卵母细胞为实验材料,对影响去核率的几个因素(包括Deme浓度、Deme处理起始时间和作用时间、卵母细胞的卵龄)逐次进行实验。结果表明:(1)激活卵母细胞在浓度为0.4μg/mL和0.5μg/mL Deme-KSOM液中处理60 min均能有效去核,但0.5μg/mL组获得更高的去核率(33.3%)。(2)卵母细胞在激活后0~5 min之内迅速放入0.5μg/mL Deme-KSOM液中,处理60~180 min得到了相对较高的去核率(31.9%~24.5%)。(3)昆明白小鼠hCG注射后17~18 h收集的卵母细胞更有利于Deme诱导去核,去核率为27.1%。经比较分析,建立了优化的Deme诱导去核程序。Abstract: On the basis of exiting technique pathway of demecolcine-induced enucleation(IE),several factors(Demecolcine concentration、time of demecolcine inition and treatment、oocytes age) affecting the IE rate were tested using Kunming mouse oocytes.The experiments’ results demonstrated that: In experiment 1,activated oocytes could be enucleated efficiently by treating with KSOM medium containing 0.4μg/mL or 0.5μg/mL demecolcine for 60 min,but 0.5μg/mL group gained the higher IE rate(33.3%).In experiment 2,maximum IE rate (31.9%~24.5%) were obtained when oocytes were exposed to 0.5μg/mL demecolcine between 0 and 5 min postactivition and treated for 60~180 min.In experiment 3,oocytes collected from Kunming mouse at 17~18h after hCG administration were favoriate to demecolcine-IE(27.1%). By comparision and analysis of the data,we established the optimized IE procedure.  相似文献

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。  相似文献

Electrofusion is a valuable technique for the nuclear transfer procedure. An enucleated oocyte is electrofused with a blastomere to create a nuclear transfer embryo. The present study constructed isofusion contours after the electrofusion of identical coupled cells that characterized all the bovine embryonic cell types used in nuclear transfer. The intersection of isofusion contours for enucleated oocytes and blastomeres provided the parameters for electrofusion during nuclear transfer. Blastomeres isolated from in vitro produced embryos 3–6 days after (in vitro fertilization) were electrofused with oocytes enucleated by centrifugation (85, 87, 89, and 73% electrofusion, respectively). The cleavage (46, 40, 37, and 28%, respectively) of the nuclear transfer embryos produced a trend that decreased as the age of the blastomeres increased. The isofusion contours provided information about the interaction between different cell types in an electric field, and gave precise electrofusion parameters for a range of bovine embryonic cell types used in nuclear transfer. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

We studied the capacity of the nuclei of rabbit fibroblasts taken from various developmental stages for reprogramming in the cytoplasm of mature aging enucleated oocytes and the development of the cloned embryos to the preimplantation stages. A negative correlation was found between the age of an animal donor of fibroblasts and the efficiency of the development of cloned embryos (r morula-blastocyst= –0.826, r blastocyst= –0.7139). A reliably decreased capacity for reprogramming of the nuclei of donor fibroblasts was shown upon the transition from prenatal development to postnatal development, as well as a trend to a decreased capacity of nuclei for reprogramming during aging. The aging of cells in the culture, at least until the tenth passage, did not affect the capacity of the nuclei of fetal fibroblasts for reprogramming and the development of cloned embryos.  相似文献

Fragmentation occurs during early developmental stages of electrically activated oocytes and nuclear transfer (NT) embryos. It might contribute to the low developmental rate of porcine NT embryos. The present study was conducted to investigate whether the addition of sugars such as sorbitol or sucrose suppresses fragmentation and supports the development of electrically activated oocytes and NT embryos. The activated oocytes were cultured in Porcine Zygote Medium-3 (PZM-3) supplemented with sorbitol or sucrose for 2 days after electric activation, and then cultured in the PZM-3 for the remaining 4 days. The osmolarities of PZM-3, PZM-3 supplemented with 0.05 or 0.1 M sorbitol, and PZM-3 with 0.05 M sucrose were 269 +/- 6.31, 316 +/- 3.13, 362 +/- 4.37, and 315 +/- 5.03 mOsm, respectively. When parthenogentically activated oocytes were cultured in PZM-3 supplemented with 0.05 M sorbitol or sucrose for the first 2 days and then cultured in PZM-3 without sugar, a significantly higher (P < 0.05) cleavage rate and blastocyst rate were observed. Interestingly, addition of sugar to PZM-3 for 2 days reduced the fragmentation rate compared to PZM-3 without sugar. In NT embryos, sugar addition into PZM-3 increased the fusion rate (84.2% +/- 6.07 vs. 95.1% +/- 2.52), cleavage rate (67.6% +/- 5.80 vs. 77.3% +/- 3.03), and developmental rate to the blastocyst stage (10.2% +/- 0.79 vs. 19.4% +/- 1.77). There was no significant difference between treatments for the number of the blastocysts. In addition the fragmentation rate was reduced compared to PZM-3 without sorbitol (26.1 +/- 4.30 vs. 14.5 +/- 1.74). In conclusion, increasing the osmolarity of PZM-3 through addition of either sorbitol or sucrose for 48 hr increased the cleavage and developmental rate to the blastocyst stage by reducing the fragmentation rate through increasing osmolarity.  相似文献

The developmental ability of nuclear transplant sheep embryos derived from in vitro matured oocytes was studied by controlling cell-cycle coordination of donor embryonic nuclei and recipient cytoplasts. Oocytes were recovered from nonatretic antral follicles of adult sheep ovaries and cocultured with follicle shells in M199-based medium supplemented with gonadotrophins in a nonstatic system. Effective activation of IVM oocytes was obtained by applying two pulses of 1.0 kv/cm 22 min apart in inositol-based electroporation medium to oocytes matured in vitro for 27 hr. Synthesis of DNA (S-phase) was assessed by BrdU incorporation and was found to initiate around 5 hpa (hours postactivation) and to persist until 18 hpa. Mitotic blastomeres were induced by treating embryos with 6.6 μM nocodazole for 14–17 hr. Three types of transfers were compared directly: “S → S,” early embryonic nuclei (mostly in S-phase) were transferred to presumptive S-phase cytoplasts; “M → MII,” nocodazole-treated embryonic nuclei (most in M-phase) were transferred to MII-phase cytoplasts; and control (S → MII), conventional nuclear transfer of fusion and activation simultaneously. The results showed that fusion and recovery rates did not differ among the three groups. However, after 6 days of in vivo culture, the morula and blastocyst formation rate was significantly higher for the M → MII combination than for the control (28.3% vs. 8.1%, P < 0.05), while no significant differences in developmental rate were observed between S → S and M → MII, and between S → S and control, though developmental rate was also increased for S → S compared to control (20.9% vs. 8.1%, P > 0.05). Transfer of blastocysts derived from M → MII or S → S nuclear cytoplasmic reconstitution to synchronized recipient ewes resulted in the birth of lambs. These data suggest that in vitro matured oocytes can support full-term development of nuclear transplant sheep embryos when the cell cycle of nucleus and cytoplasm is coordinated, and that M → MII nuclear transfer might be an efficient and simple way to improve the developmental competence of the reconstituted embryos.

Sucrose and trehalose are conventional cryoprotectant additives for oocytes and embryos. Ethanol can artificially enhance activation of inseminated mature oocytes. This study aims to investigate whether artificial oocyte activation (AOA) with ethanol can promote the development competence of in vitro matured oocytes. A total of 810 human immature oocytes, obtained from 325 patients undergoing normal stimulated oocyte retrieval cycles, were in vitro maturated (IVM) either immediately after collection (Fresh group n = 291)) or after being vitrified as immature oocytes (Vitrified group n = 519). These groups were arbitrarily assigned. All fresh and vitrified oocytes which matured after a period of IVM then underwent intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Half an hour following ICSI, they were either activated by 7% ethanol (AOA group) or left untreated (Non-AOA group). Fertilization, cleavage rate, blastocyst quality and aneuploidy rate were then evaluated. High-quality blastocysts were only obtained in both the fresh and vitrified groups which had undergone AOA after ICSI. Trehalose vitrification slightly, but not significantly, increased the formation rates of high-quality embryos (21.7% VS 15.4%, P > 0.05) and blastocysts (15.7% VS 7.69%, P > 0.05)) when compared with sucrose vitrification. Aneuploidy was observed in 12 of 24 (50%) of the AOA derived high quality blastocysts. High-quality blastocysts only developed from fresh or vitrified immature oocytes if the ICSI was followed by AOA. This information may be important for human immature oocytes commonly retrieved in normal stimulation cycles and may be particularly important for certain patient groups, such as cancer patients. AOA with an appropriate concentration of ethanol can enhance the developmental competence of embryos.  相似文献

The ability of cloned embryos to sustain full-term development depends on the ability of the recipient ooplasm to reprogram the donor cell genome. As the nuclear architecture has recently emerged as a key-factor in the regulation of gene expression, we questioned whether early embryos obtained from transfer of ES metaphasic chromosomes into mouse ooplasm would adopt the somatic or embryonic type of nuclear organization. We have particularly focused on the arrangement of chromosomal territories with respect to the nucleolar compartment, and the pericentric heterochromatin domains called chromocenters. We found that nuclear transfer triggers profound chromatin rearrangements including the dispersion of the donor cell chromocenters components. These rearrangements lead to a typical 1-cell pronuclear organization, namely a radial arrangement of the chromosome territories with centromeres attached to the nucleoli, which adopt the compact fibrillar structure of nucleolar precursor bodies (NPBs). Subsequently, during the second cycle, the cloned embryos undergo further reorganization with the establishment of new chromocenters, clustered in one part of the nucleus, as during normal embryogenesis. We could also establish that the adequate distribution of chromosomal territories at the pronuclear stage seems important for the development until blastocyst.  相似文献

Nuclear transfer (NT) is used to elucidate fundamental biological issues such as reversibility of cell differentiation and interactions between the cytoplasm and nucleus. To obtain an insight into interactions between the somatic cell nucleus and oocyte cytoplasm, nuclear remodeling and gene expression were compared in bovine oocytes that had received nuclei from bovine and mouse fibroblast cells. While the embryos that received nuclei from bovine fibroblast cells developed into blastocysts, those that received nuclei from mouse fibroblasts did not develop beyond the 8-cell stage. Similar nuclear remodeling procedures were observed in oocytes reconstructed with mouse and bovine fibroblast cells. Foreign centrosomes during NT were introduced into embryos reconstructed with both fibroblast cell types. A number of housekeeping mouse genes (hsp70, bax, and glt-1) were abnormally expressed in embryos that had received nuclei from mouse fibroblast cells. However, development-related genes, such as Oct-4 and E-cad, were not expressed. The results collectively suggest that the bovine oocyte cytoplasm supports nuclear remodeling, but not reprogramming of mouse fibroblast cells.  相似文献

Mouse oocyte aged in vitro cannot develop normally following activation. To investigate the roles of nucleus or cytoplasm elements in oocyte aged in vitro process and their subsequent development capability following activation, we reconstructed oocytes with MII chromosome spindle and cytoplasm from aged and fresh oocytes by nuclear transfer. The subsequent developmental potential after parthenogenetic activation (PA) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) was evaluated. After nuclear transfer, more than 75.6% of karyoplast and cytoplast pairs can be fused and reconstructed oocytes have a normal haploid karyotype. Following PA, aged oocytes cannot develop beyond four-cell stage, reconstructed oocytes from fresh nucleus and aged cytoplasm developed to blastocyst with a low percentage (9.1%). Instead, blastocyst formation rate of reconstructed oocyte from aged nucleus and fresh cytoplasm was higher (60.0%). Following IVF, zygote with diploid karyotype can be formed from zona pellucida (ZP)-free oocyte. After cultured in vitro, aged oocytes cannot develop beyond two-cell; reconstructed oocytes from fresh nucleus and aged cytoplasm developed to blastocyst with low percentage (15.0%). However, high blastocyst formation rate (86.2%) can be obtained from reconstructed oocytes from aged nucleus and fresh cytoplasm. Furthermore, after embryo transfer, three viable pups have been obtained, although the efficiency is very low. These observation demonstrated that cytoplasm is more crucial than nucleus to aging process. Fresh cytoplasm could partly rescue nucleus susceptibility to apoptosis from aging in vitro.  相似文献

Demecolcine-induced enucleation (IE) of mouse oocytes has been shown to improve development to term of cloned mice. In this study, we characterized the kinetics and morphological progression of bovine oocytes subjected to IE, and evaluated their ability to support embryo development to the blastocyst stage after nuclear transfer (NT). In vitro matured bovine oocytes were parthenogenetically activated and subsequently exposed to demecolcine at various times post-activation. Onset and duration of demecolcine treatment significantly altered activation and IE frequencies, which varied from 7.1% to 100% and 33.3% to 91.7%, respectively, at 5 hr post-activation. A significant decrease in IE frequencies was observed at 17 hr post-activation (3.4%-46.1%), possibly due to reincorporation of chromosomes into the oocyte after incomplete second polar body (PB) extrusion. Oocytes were reconstructed by NT before (treatment 1) or after (treatment 2) activation and demecolcine treatment, and cultured in vitro. Cleavage (48.1%-54.2%) and blastocyst rates (15.7%-19%) were equivalent for the two treatments, as well as the total cell number in NT blastocysts. Furthermore, most of the blastocysts were completely diploid (treatment 2) or heteroploid but with a majority of diploid nuclei (treatment 1). Our results demonstrate that the IE method can be successfully used to produce enucleated bovine cytoplasts that are competent to support development to the blastocyst stage after NT. This technically simple approach may provide a more efficient method to enhance the success rate of NT procedures. Further studies are needed to improve the in vitro development efficiency and to expand our understanding of the mechanism(s) involved in demecolcine-induced enucleation.  相似文献

This study was carried out to transform embryonic stem (ES) cells and to produce the reconstituted embryos derived from transgenic ES cell nuclei. Then, in vitro/vivo developmental potency of transgenic ES cells were compared to that of control ES cells (non-transgenic ES cells) in the reconstituted embryos. Unfertilized B6D2F1 ooplasm at metaphase II (M II) and two kinds of ES cell lines, 129SV and transgenic (tg) 129SV transformed by EGFP gene, were used as nuclear recipients and nuclear donors, respectively. The M II chromosome-spindle complex was aspirated into the pipette with a minimal volume of ooplasm. After enucleation, the ES cell nuclei was injected into the enucleated ooplasm directly. Then, reconstituted embryos were activated in SrCl2, and they were cultured in HTF medium. There was no difference of developmental rate between reconstituted embryos derived from the control (non-transgenic) and the tg ES cells. From this result, we indicated that transgenic ES cells might not change the property of peculiarity of the ES cell by gene transfer. The expression of GFP gene in the embryos was observed by fluorescence microscope at the 4-cell and more stage. As comparison with development of the embryos derived from the control and tg ES cells, the difference of the development could not be confirmed between the two cell groups. When the reconstituted embryos derived from the control and tg ES cells were transferred into oviduct or uterus of pseudopregnant females, fetuses were observed 13.5 days post coitum. However, in all fetuses, developmental arrest and regression were seen 19.5 days post coitum.  相似文献

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。  相似文献
