体细胞克隆在绵羊、山羊、牛、猪等家畜中获得了成功,但目前的克隆效率非常低。克隆效率低使家畜体细胞克隆技术在畜牧业生产及其他领域的应用受到极大的限制,问题的根源在于对体细胞克隆中核重编程的分子机理缺乏了解。供体细胞核移入去核的卵母细胞后,必须经过后成表观遗传修饰的重编程,从而恢复供体细胞核的全能性,才能保证重构胚的正常发育及个体的正常生长。本文从移植核的重构、DNA甲基化总体改变、组蛋白修饰、X染色体失活、端粒长度和端粒酶活性恢复、印迹基因及其他与发育相关基因的表达及核重编程的影响因素等几个方面探讨了体细胞克隆中的核重编程机理,为克隆效率提高的方法研究提供理论依据。 相似文献

Significant progress in the field of biotechnology has allowed for the use of cloning in animals which is being used: to improve genetic makeup, to rescue endangered species, in tissue engineering and to increase farm animal population. Unfortunately, cloning has been met with failure due to a variety of reasons namely early and late abortions, compromised immune systems, circulatory and respiratory problems and a high rate of fetal death. The reasons of these problems are unknown, but may research groups are attempting to understand the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in cloning efficiency. Atypical epigenetic re-programming appears to be the primary cause of ineffective cloning. Understanding molecular mechanisms involving key regulatory proteins is pivotal in the success of animal cloning. This review shows the current paradigm involving animal cloning efficiency, and also further elucidates applications to improve animal cloning efficiency. 相似文献

Details of the first mammal born after nuclear transfer cloning were published by Steen Malte Willadsen in 1986. In spite of its enormous scientific significance, this discovery failed to trigger much public concern, possibly because the donor cells were derived from pre-implantation stage embryos. The major breakthrough in terms of public recognition has happened when Ian Wilmut et al. [Wilmut, I., Schnieke, A.E., McWhir, J., Kind, A.J., Campbell, K.H., 1997. Viable offspring derived from fetal és adult mammalian cells. Nature 385, 810-813] described the successful application of almost exactly the same method, but using the nuclei of somatic cells from an adult mammal, to create Dolly the sheep. It has become theoretically possible to produce an unlimited number of genetic replicates from an adult animal or a post-implantation foetus. Since 1997 a number of different species including pigs, goats, horses, cats, etc. have been cloned with the somatic cell nuclear transfer technique. Although the technology still has relatively low success rates and there seems to be substantial problems with the welfare of some of the cloned animals, cloning is used both within basic research and the biomedical sector. The next step seems to be to implement cloning in the agricultural production system and several animals have been developed in this direction. This article reviews the current state of the art of farm animal cloning from a scientific and technological perspective, describes the animal welfare problems and critically assess different applications of farm animal cloning. The scope is confined to animal biotechnologies in which the use of cell nuclear transfer is an essential part and extends to both biomedical and agricultural applications of farm animal cloning. These applications include the production of genetically identical animals for research purposes, and also the creation of genetically modified animals. In the agricultural sector, cloning can be used as a tool within farm animal breeding. We do not intend to give an exhaustive review of the all the literature available; instead we pinpoint issues and events pivotal to the development of current farm animal cloning practices and their possible applications. 相似文献

Choosing the right nuclear donor is the most critical decision in cloning by nuclear transfer (NT), or nuclear cloning, because the cloned animal will be a genetic copy of the donor cell genome used for NT. Both donor cell type and cell cycle stage are important methodological parameters and influence nuclear cloning efficiency. Cloning, however, is a multi-step procedure and the exact contribution of the nuclear donor to overall cloning success must be determined in comparative studies. This requires strict standardization of isolation, purification, and culture protocols, and application of stringent identification criteria in order to obtain a homogenous donor cell population. In all these respects, the standards in the cloning field are currently poor. The aim of this review is to provide a brief guideline for the major practical aspects of donor cell selection, cell cycle synchronization and preparation for NT. 相似文献

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT), or cloning, is likely to be used for the expansion of elite breeding stock of agronomically important livestock used for food. The Center for Veterinary Medicine at the US Food and Drug Administration has been developing a risk assessment to identify hazards and characterize food consumption risks that may result from cloning. The risk assessment is comprised of two prongs. The first evaluates the health of animal clones, and is referred to as the Critical Biological Systems Approach. The second considers the composition of meat and milk from animal clones. Assessing the safety of food products from animal clones and their progeny, at least during these early stages of the development of the technology, is best accomplished by using both approaches: prospectively drawing on our knowledge of biological systems in development and maturation, and in retrograde, from an analysis of food products. Subtle hazards and potential risks that may be posed by animal clones must, however, be considered in the context of other mutations and epigenetic changes that occur in all food animal populations. 相似文献

The purpose of this paper is to review the economic and social implications of cloned cattle, their products, and their offspring as related to production agriculture. Cloning technology in cattle has several applications outside of traditional production agriculture. These applications can include bio-medical applications, such as the production of pharmaceuticals in the blood or milk of transgenic cattle. Cloning may also be useful in the production of research models. These models may or may not include genetic modifications. Uses in agriculture include many applications of the technology. These include making genetic copies of elite seed stock and prize winning show cattle. Other purposes may range from "insurance" to making copies of cattle that have sentimental value, similar to cloning of pets. Increased selection opportunities available with cloning may provide for improvement in genetic gain. The ultimate goal of cloning has often been envisioned as a system for producing quantity and uniformity of the perfect dairy cow. However, only if heritability were 100%, would clone mates have complete uniformity. Changes in the environment may have significant impact on the productivity and longevity of the resulting clones. Changes in consumer preferences and economic input costs may all change the definition of the perfect cow. The cost of producing such animals via cloning must be economically feasible to meet the intended applications. Present inefficiencies limit cloning opportunities to highly valued animals. Improvements are necessary to move the applications toward commercial application. Cloning has additional obstacles to conquer. Social and regulatory acceptance of cloning is paramount to its utilization in production agriculture. Regulatory acceptance will need to address the animal, its products, and its offspring. In summary, cloning is another tool in the animal biotechnology toolbox, which includes artificial insemination, sexing of semen, embryo sexing and in vitro fertilization. While it will not replace any of the above mentioned, its degree of utilization will depend on both improvement in efficiency as well as social and regulatory acceptance. 相似文献

Somatic cell nuclear transfer to an enucleated oocyte is used for reprogramming somatic cells with the aim of achieving totipotency, but most cloned embryos die in the uterus after transfer. While modifying epigenetic states of cloned embryos can improve their development, the production rate of cloned embryos can also be enhanced by changing other factors. It has already been shown that abnormal chromosome segregation (ACS) is a major cause of the developmental failure of cloned embryos and that Latrunculin A (LatA), an actin polymerization inhibitor, improves F-actin formation and birth rate of cloned embryos. Since F-actin is important for chromosome congression in embryos, here we examined the relation between ACS and F-actin in cloned embryos. Using LatA treatment, the occurrence of ACS decreased significantly whereas cloned embryo-specific epigenetic abnormalities such as dimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9me2) could not be corrected. In contrast, when H3K9me2 was normalized using the G9a histone methyltransferase inhibitor BIX-01294, the Magea2 gene—essential for normal development but never before expressed in cloned embryos—was expressed. However, this did not increase the cloning success rate. Thus, non-epigenetic factors also play an important role in determining the efficiency of mouse cloning. 相似文献

体细胞核移植技术在家畜良种繁育、基因修饰动物生产、濒危动物的拯救和人类疾病的治疗等领域具有重要的应用价值,但目前克隆动物生产效率较低,平均不超过5%。低下的克隆效率极大地限制了该技术的快速发展。在影响克隆猪生产效率的诸多因素中,X染色体的异常失活是导致克隆效率低下的重要原因,而与X染色体失活密切相关的一个重要基因是Xist基因,这表明Xist基因可能直接或间接地影响猪的克隆效率。本文以CRISPR/Cas系统为基础,在Xist基因上设计5个CRISPR/Cas系统打靶位点,并筛选出有效的Target 3、Target 4 sgRNA,在细胞水平切割效率为1%和3%,在胚胎水平为75%和85.7%。同时将有效的sgRNA体外转录并显微注射至胚胎体内,发现Target 3和Target 4组合效果最好,敲除效率为100%。通过胞浆注射和胚胎移植方法生产出6头克隆猪,有2头活仔实现完全敲除。本文成功建立Xist基因敲除猪模型,为后续通过敲除猪Xist基因提高克隆效率的研究奠定了基础。 相似文献

Somatic cells in semen are a potential source of nuclei for nuclear transfer to produce genetically identical animals; this is especially important when an animal has died and the only viable genetic material available is frozen semen. Usefulness of somatic cells obtained from fresh (cultured) and frozen (isolated, not cultured) bovine semen for nuclear transfer was evaluated. Twelve ejaculates were collected from nine bulls representing three breeds: Charolais, Brahman, and crossbred Rodeo bull. All samples were processed immediately and cell growth was obtained from seven of the twelve ejaculates (58.3%). Cells from three bulls (with the best growth rates) were evaluated by optical microscopy and used in cloning experiments. In culture, these cells exhibited classic epithelial morphology and expressed cytokeratin and vimentin, indicating they were of epithelial origin. When cells from the three bulls were used as donor cells, 15.9% (18/113), 34.5% (29/84), and 14.4% (13/90) of the fused embryos developed into blastocysts, respectively. Of the blastocyst stage embryos, 38.9% (7/18), 72.4% (21/29), and 61.5% (8/13) hatched, respectively. Somatic cells isolated (not cultured) from frozen bovine semen were also used in the cloning experiments. Although cleavage occurred, no compact morulae or blastocysts were obtained. In conclusion, epithelial cell growth was obtained from fresh bovine ejaculates with relatively high efficiency. Somatic cells from semen can be used as nucleus donors to produce cloned blastocyst-stage embryos. 相似文献

Somatic cell-derived nuclear transfer (scNT) is a method of animal cloning in which the oocyte reprograms a somatic cell nucleus to divide and execute developmental programs. Despite many successes in this field, cloning by scNT remains very inefficient. Unlike other cloned animals, pigs derived by scNT have placentas with severe villous hypoplasia. To obtain a better understanding of the protein networks involved in this phenomenon, we assessed global protein expression profiles in term placentas from scNT-derived and control animals. Proteomic analysis of term placentas from scNT-derived animals identified 43 proteins that were differentially expressed compared to control animals. Among them, 14-3-3 proteins and Annexin V, which are closely involved in the apoptotic signaling pathway, were significantly down- and up-regulated, respectively. Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry indicated that down-regulation of 14-3-3 proteins in scNT-derived placentas induced apoptosis of cytotrophoblast cells via mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. Taken together, our results suggest that placental insufficiency in scNT-derived placentas may be due to apoptosis, induced in part by the down-regulation of 14-3-3 proteins and up-regulation of Annexin V. They also indicate that proteomic maps represent an important tool for future studies of placental insufficiency and pathology. 相似文献

体细胞核移植技术(Somatic cell nuclear transfer,SCNT)基本上分为传统克隆(Traditional cloning,TC)和手工克隆(Handmade cloning,HMC)。虽然随着SCNT的推进,科研人员已经利用TC成功克隆出多种动物,但这种方法需要使用昂贵的显微操作仪,并且克隆效率较低。因此,TC逐渐被新方法HMC替代,HMC是一种通过手工操作将体细胞与两个去核的半卵母细胞融合、激活,并在培养系统中培养后产生胚胎的方法。HMC不仅操作程序简单、不需要显微操作仪、成本较低,还可以提高囊胚率,使克隆技术向生产应用又迈进了一大步。主要对HMC的操作程序、表观遗传重编程异常和HMC重编程异常修复进行了综述,并对HMC进行了展望,以期能够更好地将其应用到生产中去。 相似文献

In mammals, a diploid genome of an individual following fertilization of an egg and a spermatozoon is unique and irreproducible. This implies that the generated unique diploid genome is doomed with the individual ending. Even as cultured cells from the individual, they cannot normally proliferate in perpetuity because of the "Hayflick limit". However, Dolly, the sheep cloned from an adult mammary gland cell, changes this scenario. Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) enables us to produce offspring without germ cells, that is, to "passage" a unique diploid genome. Animal cloning has also proven to be a powerful research tool for reprogramming in many mammals, notably mouse and cow. The mechanism underlying reprogramming, however, remains largely unknown and, animal cloning has been inefficient as a result. More momentously, in addition to abortion and fetal mortality, some cloned animals display possible premature aging phenotypes including early death and short telomere lengths. Under these inauspicious conditions, is it really possible for SCNT to preserve a diploid genome? Delightfully, in mouse and recently in primate, using SCNT we can produce nuclear transfer ES cells (ntES) more efficiently, which can preserve the eternal lifespan for the "passage" of a unique diploid genome. Further, new somatic cloning technique using histone-deacetylase inhibitors has been developed which can significantly increase the previous cloning rates two to six times. Here, we introduce SCNT and its value as a preservation tool for a diploid genome while reviewing aging of cloned animals on cellular and individual levels. 相似文献
