Abstract

연구 목적: 본 연구의 목적은 마우스에서 배양액의 용량이 배반포 배 형성과 세포수에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 실시하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: $3{\sim}4$주령 ICR 암마우스에게 48시간 간격으로 5 IU PMSG와 hCG 주사 후 (hCG 주사 후 수컷과 동숙) $46{\sim}50$시간에 난관으로부터 총 138개의 2-세포기 배를 회수하여 2 ml (group I) 또는 $50{\mu}l$ (group II)의 배양액 (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium + 20% human follicular fluid)에서 72시간 동안 배반포기까지 배양하였다. 배반포 배는 zona-intact (ZiB)와 zona-escape (ZeB)로 등급을 구분하고 나서, propidium iodide와 bisbenzimide를 이용한 differential staining 방법으로 염색하여 평균 세포수, 내세포괴(ICM) 세포수, 영양배엽(TE) 세포수, 총 세포수에 대한 ICM의 비율 (%ICM) 및 ICM:TE 비율을 조사하였다. 결과에 대한 유의성 검정은 $X^2$ test와 t-test를 이용하였으며, p<0.05일 때 통계적인 차이가 있는 것으로 하였다. 결 과: Group I과 II에서, 총 배반포 ($62.3{\pm}20.7%$ vs. $63.8{\pm}22.9%$), ZiB ($31.9{\pm}24.0%$ vs. $30.4{\pm}18.2%$)와 ZeB 형성율 ($30.4{\pm}20.8%$ vs. $33.3{\pm}22.3%$)은 차이가 없었다. 87개의 배반포 배를 염색 시도하였는데, 명확하게 differential staining된 41개의 배반포 배만을 대상으로 세포수를 조사하였다. 평균 세포수 ($61.6{\pm}19.5$ vs. $63.7{\pm}26.8$), ICM 세포수 ($13.0{\pm}10.6$ vs. $12.8{\pm}10.5$), TE 세포수 ($49.0{\pm}19.0$ vs. $47.8{\pm}18.7$), %ICM ($21.0{\pm}12.6%$ vs. $21.1{\pm}13.2%$) 및 ICM:TE 비율 (1:$3.77{\pm}4.9$ vs. 1:$3.72{\pm}4.8$)에서도 group I과 II에서 차이가 없었다. 결 론: 마우스에서 배 발생 능력의 척도로 쓰이는 배반포 배 형성율 배반포 배의 등급 세포수 및 %ICM 등이 20% 난포액을 첨가한 MEM 배양액의 용량에 따라 영향을 받지 않았다.
