초록

본 연구에서 배아의 생식세포 동결에 가장 흔히 쓰이고 있는 두 가지 동결 보호제, 즉 DMSO와 EG의 독성을 비교하고자 생쥐 수정란 모델을 이용한 실험을 하였다. 생후 6주령의 암컷 생쥐 $F_1$ hybrid mice에 10 IU의 PMSG를 복강 주사하여 과배란을 유도하고, 2-세포기 배아를 획득하고 DMSO와 EG 각각 노출시킨 후, 배양을 하였다. 배반포의 전체 세포수는 2-세포기 단계에서 DMSO($68.1{\pm}24.1$)로 EG($81.2{\pm}27.0$) 혹은 control($99.0{\pm}18.3$)(p<0.001) 처리구에 비해서 유의적으로 낮았다. DMSO 처리구가 EG 처리구에 비해 세포수가 적었다. DMSO($15.4{\pm}1.5$)와 EG($10.2{\pm}1.4$) 두 처리구는 대조구($6.1{\pm}0.9$, p<0.0001)와 비교해서 배반포에서 세포사 비율이 더 높음을 확인했다. 또한, DMSO 처리구는 EG 처리구(p<0.001)보다 더 많은 세포사멸된 세포가 확인되었다. DMSO 또는 EG 처리군과 대조군 사이에는 배아 부화율에 있어서 차이가 있었으며, 이는 배아에 대한 동결 보호제의 잠재적인 독성을 확인한 결과였다. 이번 연구에서 장기간 처리했을 때 EG 처리군보다 DMSO 처리군에서 배아발달과 세포수가 저하된 것은 DMSO의 독성이 더 높을 것으로 사료된다.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of embryonic stage and toxicities of cryoprotectant on the rates of survival and development of the cryopreserved mouse early embryo and finally to establish the cryopreservation method of surplus embryos obtained during assisted reproductive technology. Toxicities of two cryoprotectants, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and ethylene glycol (EG) were investigated using a murine embryo model. Female F-1 mice were stimulated with gonadotropin, induced ovulation with hCG and mated. Two cell embryos were collected and cultured after exposure to either DMSO or EG. Embryo development was evaluated up to the blastocyst stage. The total cell count of blastocysts that were treated with DMSO ($68.1{\pm}24.1$) at the 2-cell stage was significantly lower than that were treated with EG ($81.2{\pm}27.0$) or the control ($99.0{\pm}18.3$) (p<0.001). On comparison of two cryoprotectant treated groups, the DMSO treated group showed a decreased cell count compared with the EG treated group (p<0.05). Both DMSO ($15.4{\pm}1.5$) and EG ($10.2{\pm}1.4$) treated groups showed higher apoptosis rates of cells in the blastocyst compared with the control ($6.1{\pm}0.9$, p<0.0001). In addition, the DMSO treated group showed more apoptotic cells than the EG treated group (p<0.001). The potential toxicity of cryoprotectants was uncovered by prolonged exposure of murine embryos to either DMSO or EG at room temperature. When comparing two cryoprotective agents, EG appeared to be less toxic than DMSO at least in a murine embryo model.
