Abstract

Objective: This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of the isolation methods of inner cell mass from mouse blastocyst, types of feeder cells and treatment time of mitomycin C on the formation rate of ICM colony. Methods: The inner cells were isolated by conventional immunosurgery, partial trophoblast dissection with syringe needles and whole blastocyst co-culture method. Commercially available STO and primary cultured mouse embryonic fibroblast (pMEF) feeder cells were used, and mitomycin C was treated for 1, 2 or 3 hours, respectively. The formation rate of ICM colony was observed after isolation of ICM and culture of ICM on the feeder cells for 7 days. Result: The ICM colony formation rate on STO were significantly higher in partial trophoblast dissection group (58%) than that in immunosurgery (12%) or whole blastocyst culture (16%) group (p<0.05). The formation rate on pMEF feeder layer was higher in partial trophoblast dissection (88%) and whole blastocyst culture (82%) group than that in immunosurgery (16%) group (p<0.05). When mitomycin C treated to pMEF for 2 hours, the formation rate of 88% was significantly higher than those of other conditions. Conclusion: Above results showed that the efficient isolation method of ICM from blastocyst was the partial trophoblast dissection and the appropriate treatment time of mitomycin C was 2 hours. However, the subculture of ICM colony and characterization of stem cells should be carried out to confirm the efficacy of the partial trophoblast dissection method.

목 적: 본 연구는 생쥐 포배기 배아로부터 내세포괴를 분리하는 방법과 지지세포의 종류와 mitomycin C 처리 시간이 내세포괴 colony 형성률에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위해 시행되었다. 연구방법: 일반적인 면역절제술, 주사바늘을 이용한 부분 영양막세포 절개법, 포배기 배아 공배양법으로 내세포괴를 분리한 후, 상업적으로 구입이 가능한 STO 또는 직접 제조한 생쥐 배아섬유아세포 (pMEF)를 지지세포로 이용하여 배양하였다. 또한, mitomycin C를 1, 2, 3시간 동안 처리한 각각의 지지세포에서 7일 동안 배양한 후, 내세포괴 colony 형성률을 살펴보았다. 결 과: STO 지지세포에서는 부분 영양막세포 절개법을 사용한 경우 (52%)가 면역절제술 (12%)이나 포배기 배아 공배양법 (16%)을 사용한 경우보다 내세포괴 colony 형성률이 유의하게 높았다 (p<0.05). pMEF 지지세포에서의 형성률은 부분 영양막세포 절개법을 사용한 경우 (88%)와 포배기 배아 공배양법 (82%)을 사용한 경우가 면역절제술 (16%)을 사용한 경우보다 높았다 (p<0.05). STO와 pMEF 모두에서, 2시간 mitomycin C 처리군 (52%, 88%)이 1시간 처리군 (9%, 42%)과 3시간 처리군 (18%, 76%)보다 높은 내세포괴 colony 형성률을 보여주었다 (p<0.05). 결 론: 이상의 결과는 부분 영양막세포 절개법이 생쥐 포배기 배아로부터 내세포괴를 분리하는 가장 효과적인 방법이며, 가장 적절한 mitomycin C 처리 시간은 2시간이라는 것을 보여준다. 그러나 이와 같은 부분 영양막세포 절개법의 효용성을 보다 명확하게 확인하기 위해서는 분리한 내세포괴를 계대배양하여 줄기세포주로서의 특성을 확인하는 실험이 추가적으로 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
