Abstract
This study was carried out to examine the effects of nitric oxide compounds (hemoglobin and L-NAME) on the development of porcine in vitro maturation (IVM) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) oocytes. Cumulus cell free embryos derived from porcine IVM/IVF oocytes were cultured in NCSU23 medium containing 1~5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ hemoglobin added to 44 and 96hrs in culture times, and in NCSU23 medium containing 0, 10, 50 or 100mM L-NAME. The developmental rates beyond morulae stage in 0, 1 and 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ hemoglobin groups add to 44hrs in vitro culture times were 52.4%, 57.6% and 57.4%, respectively. The addition of hemoglobin groups made it slightly higher than the control group. The proportion of embryos developed to morulae and blastocysts in 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ hemoglobin add to 96hrs after in vitro culture (70.8%) was a little higher than those of 0 and 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ hemoglobin (66.2% and 62.8%). There was no significant difference in all groups (P〉0.05). The developmental rates beyond morulae stage in 0, 10, 50 and 100mM of L-NAME groups add to 96hrs after in vitro culture were 65.2%, 73.5%, 70.1% and 53.3%, respectively 10mM and 50mM L-NAME groups were significantly higher than in 0 and 100mM of L-NAME groups (P＜0.05). In conclusions, these results indicate that L-NAME (10mM, 50mM) can increase the proportion of embryos that develop into morulae and blastocysts but hemoglobin did not affect.
본 연구는 돼지 미성숙 난포란을 체외에서 성숙, 수정시킨 후, 체외배양액내에 NO Scavenger인 hemoglobin과 억제제인 L-NAME의 첨가 배양이 돼지 체외수정란의 체외발육에 미치는 효과를 검토하였다. 체외배양 44시간에 NCSU 배양액에 hemoglobin을 각각 0, 1 및 5$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$가 첨가된 처리구에서 상실배기 이상 발육된 수정란의 체외 발육율은 각각 52.4%, 57.6% 및 57.4%로써 hemoglobin 첨가군이 대조군에 비해 다소 높은 발육성적을 나타냈으나 통계적 유의성은 인정되지 않았다 (P〉0.05). 체외배양 96시간에 NCSU23 배양액에 hemoglobin을 0, 1 및 5$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ 첨가한 처리구에서 상실배이상 발육된 체외 발육성적은 각각 66.2%, 70.8% 및 62.8%로 1$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ hemoglobin을 첨가한 처리구가 다른 처리구보다 다소 높게 나타났지만 통계적으로 유의차는 인정되지 않았다 (P〉0.05). 체외배양 44시간에 NCSU23 배양액에 L-NAME를 각각 0, 10, 50 및 100mM을 첨가한 처리구에서 상실배기 이상 발육된 체외발육율은 각각 65.2%, 73.5%, 70.1% 및 58.8%로 L-NAME를 10mM첨가한 처리구와 50mM 첨가한 구가 무 첨가구와 100mM 첨가구보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 성적을 얻었다 (P＜0.05). 각 처리구에서 생산된 배반포기수정란의 세포수에는 커다란 차이가 인정되지 않았다.
