In vitro maturation (IVM) of goat oocytes with serum-supplemented media results in oocytes with reduced developmental potential. The objective of this study was to develop a defined medium for IVM of goat oocytes that better supports subsequent embryonic development. Cumulus oocyte complexes (COC) were matured for 18-20 hr in: Experiment (1), tissue culture medium 199 (TCM199) with 10% (v/v) goat serum or modified synthetic oviduct fluid maturation medium (mSOFmat) with 2.5, 8.0, or 20.0 mg/ml bovine serum albumin (BSA); Experiment (2), mSOFmat with 4.0, 8.0, 12.0, or 16.0 mg/ml BSA; or Experiment (3), 1.0 mg/ml polyvinyl alcohol (PVA; control), 4.0 mg/ml BSA, 0.5 mg/ml hyaluronate plus 0.5 mM citrate, or hyaluronate, citrate, and BSA. Mature COC were coincubated for 20-22 hr with 12-15 x 10(6) sperm/ml in modified Brackett and Oliphant (mBO) medium. Embryos were cultured for a total of 7 days in G1/2, and evaluated for cleavage, and blastocyst development, hatching, and total cell numbers. In the first experiment, more (P < 0.05) blastocysts developed per cleaved embryo following maturation in mSOFmat with 2.5 or 8.0 mg/ml BSA than with 20.0 mg/ml BSA or TCM199 with 10% goat serum. The various concentrations of BSA used in the second experiment did not affect (P > 0.05) any of the developmental endpoints examined. In the third experiment, developmental potential of oocytes matured with PVA or hyaluronate with citrate was not different (P > 0.05) from oocytes matured in the presence of BSA. These results demonstrate that developmentally competent goat oocytes can be matured under defined conditions. 相似文献

Transplantation of spermatogonial stem cells into syngeneic or immunosuppressed recipient mice or rats can result in donor-derived spermatogenesis and fertility. Recently, this approach has been employed to introduce a transgene into the male germline. Germ-cell transplantation in species other than laboratory rodents, if successful, holds great promise as an alternative to the inefficient methods currently available to generate transgenic farm animals that can produce therapeutic proteins in their milk or provide organs for transplantation to humans. To explore whether germ-cell transplantation could result in donor-derived spermatogenesis and fertility in immunocompetent recipient goats, testis cells were transplanted from transgenic donor goats carrying a human alpha-1 antitrypsin expression construct to the testes of sexually immature wild-type recipient goats. After puberty, sperm carrying the donor-derived transgene were detected in the ejaculates of two out of five recipients. Mating of one recipient resulted in 15 offspring, one of which was transgenic for the donor-derived transgene. This is the first report of donor cell-derived sperm production and transmission of the donor haplotype to the next generation after germ-cell transplantation in a nonrodent species. Furthermore, these results indicate that successful germ-cell transplantation is feasible between immunocompetent, unrelated animals. In the future, transplantation of genetically modified germ cells may provide a more efficient alternative for production of transgenic domestic animals. 相似文献

Juvenile calf oocytes represent an untapped source of germ plasm for reproduction. Reports on the developmental competence of calf oocytes have been controversial. In this research, oocytes were recovered after gonadotropin stimulation from Holstein calves (N = 10) at 2-3 mo of age (2-mo cycle) and again at 4-5 mo of age (4-mo cycle). The in vitro developmental competence was measured, and prestimulation follicle numbers (for 2-mo cycle) and poststimulation follicle numbers (both cycles) were obtained. The number of antral follicles doubled after stimulation (23.4 +/- 6.1 vs. 55.1 +/- 16.1) for the 2-mo cycle and for the 4-mo cycle (47.4 +/- 12.4). The number of follicles observed prior to stimulation in the 2-mo cycle was found to be highly correlated with the poststimulation oocyte recovery for both collection cycles (r = 0.95, 2-mo cycle; r = 0.81, 4-mo cycle). The majority (90-96%) of recovered oocytes were found to be usable for in vitro maturation and fertilization; of these, 41-42% cleaved and 10-11% developed to morulae or blastocysts. Eighty-four in vitro-produced embryos were transferred to synchronized recipients and resulted in 11 pregnancies, leading to 7 live (4 males, 3 females) and 2 dead (one male, one female) calves at full term. No significant differences were observed between the 2-mo and 4-mo collection cycles; however, 73% of the total pregnancies resulted from the 2-mo cycle. All pregnancies resulted from embryos of high-responding donors. The high correlation between the number of follicles prior to stimulation and the poststimulation response suggests the possibility of screening calves prior to stimulation for routine embryo production. 相似文献

Nuclear transfer (NT) using transfected primary cells is an efficient approach for the generation of transgenic goats. However, reprogramming abnormalities associated with this process might result in compromised animals. We examined the health, reproductive performance, and milk production of four transgenic does derived from somatic cell NT. Goats were derived from two fetal cell lines, each transfected with a transgene expressing a different version of the MSP-1(42) malaria antigen, either glycosylated or non-glycosylated. Two female kids were produced per cell line. Health and growth of these NT animals were monitored and compared with four age-matched control does. There were no differences in birth and weaning weights between NT and control animals. The NT does were bred and produced a total of nine kids. The control does delivered five kids. The NT does expressing the glycosylated antigen lactated only briefly, probably as a result of over-expression of the MSP-1(42) protein. However, NT does expressing the non-glycosylated antigen had normal milk yields and produced the recombinant protein. These data demonstrated that the production of healthy transgenic founder goats by somatic cell NT is readily achievable and that these animals can be used successfully for the production of a candidate Malaria vaccine. 相似文献

Germline stem cells (GSCs) can be used for large animal transgenesis, in which GSCs that are genetically manipulated in vitro are transplanted into a recipient testis to generate donor‐derived transgenic sperm. The objectives of this study were to explore a non‐viral approach for transgene delivery into goat GSCs and to investigate the efficiency of nucleofection in producing transgenic sperm. Four recipient goats received fractionated irradiation at 8 weeks of age to deplete endogenous GSCs. Germ cell transplantations were performed 8–9 weeks post‐irradiation. Donor cells were collected from testes of 9‐week‐old goats, enriched for GSCs by Staput velocity sedimentation, and transfected by nucleofection with a transgene construct harboring the human growth hormone gene under the control of the goat beta‐casein promoter (GBC) and a chicken beta‐globin insulator (CBGI) sequence upstream of the promoter. For each recipient, transfected cells from 10 nucleofection reactions were pooled, mixed with non‐transfected cells to a total of 1.5 × 108 cells in 3 ml, and transplanted into one testis (n = 4 recipients) by ultrasound‐guided cannulation of the rete testis. The second testis of each recipient was removed. Semen was collected, starting at 9 months after transplantation, for a period of over a year (a total of 62 ejaculates from four recipients). Nested genomic PCR for hGH and CBGI sequences demonstrated that 31.3% ± 12.6% of ejaculates were positive for both hGH and CBGI. This study provides proof‐of‐concept that non‐viral transfection (nucleofection) of primary goat germ cells followed by germ cell transplantation results in transgene transmission to sperm in recipient goats.

Glycosylation is involved in the correct folding, targeting, bioactivity and clearance of therapeutic glycoproteins. With the development of transgenic animals as expression systems it is important to understand the impact of different genetic backgrounds and lactations on glycosylation. We have evaluated the glycosylation of recombinant antithrombin produced in several transgenic goat lines, from cloned animals and from different types of lactation including induced lactations. Our results show glycosylation patterns from the protein expressed in animals, derived from the same founder goat, are mostly comparable. Furthermore, the protein expressed in two cloned goats had highly consistent oligosaccharide profiles and similar carbohydrate composition. However, there were significantly different oligosaccharide profiles from the proteins derived from different founder goats. Artificial induction of lactation did not have significant effects on overall carbohydrate structures when compared to natural lactation. The only major difference was that recombinant antithrombin from induced lactations contained a slightly higher ratio of N-acetylneuraminic acid to N-glycolylneuraminic acid and less amount of oligosaccharides containing N-glycolylneuraminic acid. The oligosaccharides from all animals were a mixture of high mannose-, hybrid- and complex-type oligosaccharides. Sialic acid was present as alpha-2,6-linkage and no alpha-1,3-linked galactose was observed. These results indicate that transgenic animals with closely related genetic backgrounds express recombinant protein with comparable glycosylation. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Organizing signals such as Sonic hedgehog are thought to specify neuronal subtype identity by regulating the expression of homeodomain proteins in progenitors of the embryonic neural tube. One of these, Nkx2.2, is necessary and sufficient for the development of V3 interneurons. RESULTS: We report that Olig genes, encoding basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins, are expressed in a subset of Nkx2.2 progenitors before the establishment of interneurons and oligodendroglial precursors. Gain-of-function analysis in transgenic mouse embryos indicates that Olig genes specifically inhibit the establishment of Sim1-expressing V3 interneurons. Moreover, coexpression of Olig2 with Nkx2.2 in the chick neural tube generated cells expressing Sox10, a marker of oligodendroglial precursors. Colocalization of Olig and Nkx2.2 proteins at the dorsal extent of the Nkx2.2 expression domain is consistent with regulatory interactions that define the potential of progenitor cells in the border region. CONCLUSIONS: Interactions between homeodomain and Olig bHLH proteins evidently regulate neural cell fate acquisition and diversification in the ventral neural tube. In particular, interactions between Olig and Nkx2.2 proteins inhibit V3 interneuron development and promote the formation of alternate cell types, including those expressing Sox10. 相似文献
