Abstract

본 연구는 mSOF(modified synthetic oviduct fluid medium) 배양액을 이용하여 $100{\mu}1$$10{\mu}1$ 배양 소적에서 일본 흑우의 수정란 생산 효율을 개선하기 위하여 수행하였다. 난구세포가 부착된 미성숙 난자는 각각 단독 배양조건($S;\;10{\mu}1$ 소적) 및 그룹 배양 조건 ($G;\;100{\mu}1$ 소적)에서 실시하였고 배양액은 TCM-199의 기본 배지에 10% FCS, 0.02IU/ml FSH와 $1{\mu}g/ml$ $estradiol-17{\beta}$를 첨가하여 사용하였다. 배반포 단계로 발육한 수정란은 1.5M ethylene glycol로 직접 이식법에 의한 동결 방법으로 동결을 실시하였고, 세포수는 융해 후 생존 수정란에 대해 조사하였다. 체외 배양 시간이 $16{\sim}17$시간 배양 조건에서 난자의 성숙율은 그룹 배양 조건$(27.1{\pm}16.8%)$보다는 단독 배양조건$(57.1{\pm}15.0%)$에서 성숙율이 높았다(p<0.05). 그러나 체외 배양 시간이 $18{\sim}19$ 시간과 $20{\sim}21$시간 배양시는 유사한 성숙율을 보였다. 난자의 체외 배양율은 체외 배양 시간의 증가에 의해 성숙도가 $86.3{\pm}9.9%$로 증가하였다. 접합체(zygote)의 분할율은 단독이나 그룹 배양 조건에서도 유사한 결과를 얻었다. 배반포 발달율은 배양 $7{\sim}8$일째에 조사한 결과 단독 배양 방법보다는 그룹 배양 방법에서 발달율이 높았으나, 분할된 접합체를 기준으로 한 경우 배반포 발달율$(S;\; 21.4{\pm}10.6%,\;G;\;39.0{\pm}13.1%)$에서는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 단독 배양과 그룹 배양에서 $6.5{\pm}8$일 사이에 배반포로 발달된 수정란의 세포수 조사에서는 유사한 결과를 얻었다. 동결 융해 후 24시간 배양 후 배반포 생존율(5; 24.2%, G; 30.2%), 부화율(S: 20.9%, G: 12.7%) 및 생존 수정란수(S; 45.2%, G: 42.8%)에서도 배양 조건에 따른 유의적인 차는 없었다. 결론적으로 mSOF배양액을 이용하는 경우 미성숙 난자의 체외 성숙 유도 배양 시 단독이나 그룹 배양 시 배반포 발달율에서 그룹간에 유의적인 차가 인정되었다(p<0.01).
