Abstract

This study was performed during the four seasons for the production of transgenic pigs containing the Cellulase Digest Gene. Purebred Landrace gilts and sows approximately 8∼15 months of age (n=126) were used for the collection of 1-cell zygotes for DNA microinjection and transfer. Retrospectively, estrus synchronization and superovulation schemes were evaluated to assess practicality fur zygote collection. Synchronization and superovulation procedures were used that cyclic gilts were synchronized with 20mg altrenogest (ALT) per day for 9 days after PG600 administration followed by superovulation with 1000 IU pregnant mares serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and 750IU human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). The cellulase digestion gene for microinjection is rat elasterase promoter (rEl) linked to CelD gene. After hormone treatment, 1,422 embryos were collected from 91 donors and 95.6% (1,359/1,422) embryos were in 1-cell stage which can be visualized the pronuclei for DNA microinjection. A total of 725 DNA microinjected embryos transferred into 35 recipients and produced 65 piglets from 13 litters. Pregnancy rate according to the number of transferred embryos to recipients was higher the group which received 21 to 24 embryos (50.0%) than other groups 20.0% in less and 33.3% in more. A tail tissue was collected from 65 piglets for biopsy. PCR screening was performed on each DNA sample using two separate sets of primers specific for the 5'- and 3'-flanking region of the rEl-CelD gene. Five of the 65 piglets (7.69%) were positive for the transgene. This study provide useful information regarding production of transgenic pig for bioreactor research.

본 연구는 섬유소분해효소 유전자(CelD)가 도입된 형질전환 돼지를 생산하기 위해 사계절동안 수행하였다. 약 8∼15개월령의 순종의 랜드레이스경산돈 및 미경산돈 126두는 유전자 미세주입을 위한 1세포기 단계의 수정란 채란 및 이식을 위해 사용하였으며, 발정동기화 및 과배란 방법은 PG600 주입 후 9일간 매일 20mg의 altrenogest를 사료에 첨가하여 급여하였다. Altrenogest를 9일간 급여 후 1000IU의 PMSG와 750IU의 hCG를 주입하므로서 과배란을 유도하였다. 미세주입을 위한 유전자는 Rat elasterase promoter에 CelD유전자를 연결하여 준비하였으며, 호르몬 처리후 91두의 공란돈으로부터 1,422개의 난자를 회수하였으며 이중 95.6% (1,359/1,422)는 DNA미세주입을 위해 전핵을 관찰 할 수 있는 1세포기의 수정란이었다. 이중 유전자가 미세주입된 725개의 난자를 35두의 수란돈에 이식하였으며 13두의 임신돈으로부터 65두의 자돈을 생산하였다. 한편 수란돈당 수정란 이식수가 임신율에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 약 21∼24개의 수정란을 이식한 구에서 임신율이 50%로 타구의 20.0%(20개 이하)와 33.3%(25개 이상)보다 높았으며, 꼬리조직으로부터 분리된 DNA의 PCR검정결과 65두중 5두가 형질전환 양성 반응을 나타내어 7.69%의 형질전환율을 나타내었다 따라서 본 연구는 생체반응기를 통한 형질전환 돼지생산을 위한 유용한 정보를 제공하게 될 것이다.
