Abstract

The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of culture period and fusion method on the development of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos reconstituted with Korean bovine fetal fibroblast cells (KbFF) and Korean bovine adult ear skin fibroblast cells (KbESF). KbFF were isolated from a day 51 Korean cattle (Hanwoo) fetus, and KbESF were isolated from a 28 month old Hanwoo calf. The cells were cultured up to 15 weeks (passage 15) in vitro for SCNT. Chamber and electrode needles were used for comparing fusion of reconstituted eggs. The doubling times of KbFF and KbESF were 17.3 hr and 24.3 hr, respectively. The fusion and cleavage rates were significantly higher in needle group (76.1 and 81.2% respectively, P<0.05) than those in chamber group. However, the blastocyst development rate was not different between both groups. Fusion and cleavage rates of NT eggs reconstituted with KbESF did not affected by passage number, however, blastocyst rates were lower in passage $1{\sim}4$ group (21.3%) than passage $5{\sim}8$ (39.4%) and $13{\sim}15$ groups (40.4%, P<0.05). Whereas, fusion rate was lower in passage $1{\sim}4$ group (61.5%) than those of passage $5{\sim}8$(75.0%) and $13{\sim}15$ (76.8%) groups, but cleavage and blastocyst rates were similar regardless of passage number in the KbFF. The results suggest that fusion method can affect the development of SCNT embryos, whereas the long term culture up to 15 passages may not affect the development of SCNT embryos.

본 연구는 한우 성체 유래 귀세포(Korean bovine ear skin fibroblasts, KbESF)와 태아 섬유아세포(Korean bovine fetal fibroblasts, KbFF)를 이용한 체세포 복제(SCNT) 시 세포종류, 배양기간 그리고 융합방법이 핵이식 수정란의 발달에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 실시하였다. 태아 섬유아세포는 임신 51일령의 한우태아에서 분리하였고, 귀세포는 28개월령의 성우의 귀에서 채취하였다. 세포는 15주 동안 체외에서 배양하며 체세포 핵이식(SCNT)에 공시하였다. 융합방법을 비교하기 위해 챔버방법과 전극 바늘을 이용한 방법으로 핵과 세포질을 융합하였다. 세포의 doubling time은 KbFF에서 17.3시간, KbESF에서 24.3시간으로 나타났다. 핵이식 후 융합과 분할율은 needle 방법에서 보다 유의적으로 높았으나(각 각 76.1과 81.2%, P<0.05), 배반포 발달율은 차이가 없었다. KbESF의 경우, 배반포 발달율은 passage $5{\sim}9$(39.4%)와 $13{\sim}15$(40.4%)에서 passage $1{\sim}4$에 비하여 유의적으로 높았다(P<0.05). KbFF의 경우, 융합율은 passage $5{\sim}8$$13{\sim}15$에서 각각 75.0 및 76.8%로 passage $1{\sim}4$(61.5%)보다 높았으나, 난분할율과 배반포 발달율은 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로, SCNT 수정란의 발달은 융합 방법에 의해 영향을 받을 수 있으나, 계대배양 15회까지 장기배양을 한 경우는 복제수정란의 발육에 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 판단된다.
