Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is an important signaling molecule. Here, the effect and mechanism of LPA on the preimplantation development of porcine embryos during in vitro culture (IVC) was examined. Porcine embryos were cultured in porcine zygote medium (PZM-3) supplemented with $30{\mu}M$ LPA during different days. There was a significantly higher cleavage rate in Day 1-7 and significantly higher total cell number of blastocysts in Day 1-3 and Day 4-7. It was also found that messenger RNA (mRNA) expression level of PCNA, BCL2 and BAX in blastocysts obtained from D1-7 group were significantly higher and BCL2/BAX mRNA ratio in D1-3 group was significantly lower than control group but Day 4-7 and Day 1-7 groups were comparable with control group. Treatment with $20{\mu}M$ PLC inhibitor significantly decreased the embryo cleavage rate and blastocyst formation rate. Moreover, LPA as an activator of PLCs, enhanced the $30{\mu}M$ LPA + $20{\mu}M$ U73122 group embryo cleavage rate which similar with control group. In conclusion, the results suggest that treatment with LPA during IVC improves the porcine early embryo cleavage by activation of PLC signaling pathway and regulate the mRNA expression that contribute to total cell number of blastocysts during blastocyst formation.

본 연구는 금낭화 배우체의 형성과 배 발달특성에 관한 기초 자료로 활용하기 위해 수행되었다. 시원세포로부터 발달된 소포자 모세포는 화뢰의 길이가 1 mm일 때 감수분열을 하여 4면체형(tetrahedral) 4분자가 형성되었다. 4개의 소포자는 분리되어 각각 웅성배우체로 발달하였다. 대포자 모세포는 화뢰의 길이 $4{\sim}5\;mm$에서 관찰되었다. 대포자의 발달유형은 정상형(polygonum)이었으며, 배낭의 형태는 굽어있는 곡생배주(amphitropous)였다. 3개의 뚜렷한 반족세포는 배낭이 성숙한 후에도 퇴화하지 않고 남아있었다. 개화 전 자웅배우체는 충분히 성숙하였다. 개화 시에 수술과 암술의 길이는 거의 비슷하거나 수술이 0.5 mm 짧아서 자화수정에 적당한 구조를 가지는 것으로 나타냈다. 수정 후 배는 구형, 심장형을 거쳐 자엽배까지 발달하였으며, 종자 산포시 초기 자엽배를 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In January 2009, the water quality of offshore around the Incheon coast was evaluated by bioassay using early development systems of a sea urchin species, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus. The results of performing biological evaluations on seawater samples from total of thirteen sites, showed that the formation rates of normal pluteus larva varied from 18% to 71%. In site 5 the seawater sample led to an averaage formation rate of normal larva of 18%, the highest abnormal formation rate hindering the early embryo development of the experimental animal, while that of site 3 averaged 71%, the highest formation rate of normal larva. Seawater samples from site 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12, resulted in average formation rates of normal larva from 33% to 56%, which indicates the developmental damage of early embryos is not severe. Seawater samples from site 5, 6, 8 and 13, resulted in average formation rates of normal larva from 18% to 21% which there was strong damage to the development of early embryos.

수요가 증가하고 있는 단자엽 구근 화훼작물인 무스카리($Muscari$ $armeniacum$ Leichtl. Ex Bak.) 'Early Giant' 품종의 캘러스를 재료로 체세포배발생을 통한 기내 대량증식 체계를 확립하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 잎 절편을 1-naphthalene acetic acid(NAA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2,4-D) 등 오옥신이 0.1~3.0 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 첨가된 배지에 배양하여 모든 배지에서 부드러운 엷은 연두색 캘러스를 고빈도로 유기하였지만 유기된 캘러스를 동일한 조성의 배지로 이식하였을 때 2,4-D, 4-amino-3,5,6-tri-chloropicolinic acid(picloram) 및 3,6-dichloro-o-anisic acid (dicamba) 첨가배지에서만 증식이 양호하게 이루어졌다. 비록 체세포배발생의 빈도가 캘러스의 기원과 배발생 유도 배지의 식물생장조절제 조성에 따라 차이가 있기는 했지만 식물생장조절제 무첨가 배지를 비롯하여 $N^6$-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) 등 다양한 시토키닌과 NAA 0.01 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$가 혼용된 배지에서 체세포배가 유기되었다. 무스카리 잎 절편을 picloram 0.1 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 배지에 치상하여 캘러스를 유기하고 동일한 배지로 이식하여 증식한 후 NAA 0.01 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$와 BAP 0.5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 혼용배지로 이식했을 때 최고빈도인 캘러스 덩어리당 9.3개의 체세포배를 획득할 수 있었다. 또한 무스카리 체세포배는 구형, 편심장형, 편어뢰형, 초기 자엽형, 중기 자엽형, 후기 자엽형, 초기 맹아형, 중기 맹아형 및 후기 맹아형배 등 총 9단계로 그 외형이 뚜렷이 구분되었다.

In vitro developmental ability of early preimplantation monse embryos was shown to be depend on the embryonic stages, media and snpplements and their interaction(Experiment 1). The development of I-cell embryos were more promoted in the complex medinm(Ham's Fl0) than in the simple one(m-KRB), but that of 2-cell embryos showed the reverse effect. The bovine serum albumin(BSA) as a medium snpplement more promoted the development of I- and 2-cell embryos, compared with human fetal cord serum(HCS). On the other hand, the harmful effect of HCS was especially shown on the early cleavage in the embryonic development of the two stages. The effect of serum, in the respect of interaction between media and snpplements. was also more significantly appeared in m-KRB than Ham's Fl0. In the experiment 2, when the harmful effect of HCS was compared with that of fetal bovine serum(FBS), the former more promoted the development of l - and 2-cell embryos than the latter. The effect of HCS was more significantly shown in the development of I-cell than that of 2-cell embryos. Conclusively, as I- and 2-cell embryos were different in the requirements for the in vitro development. the optimal medium and supplement have to be selected for each embryonic stage. It is also respected to the better result if it take into consideration into the kinds of sera when serum is used for culture of early preimplantation embryos.

This study was performed to the expressions of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) and 20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase ($20{\alpha}$-HSD) in bovine corpus luteum during early pregnancy. To determine the function of PAPP-A gene during early pregnancy, we collected corpus luteum samples on 30, 60 and 90 days of pregnancy in bovine. The mRNA expression of PAPP-A, $20{\alpha}$-HSD, progesterone-receptor (PR) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein4 (IGFBP4) gene was conducted by Real-time PCR. In parallel with mRNA levels, The protein expressions of PAPP-A and $20{\alpha}$-HSD were detected by immunological analysis. The mRNA expressions $20{\alpha}$-HSD and PAPP-A significantly increased on day 90 in the corpus luteum during pregnancy. The mRNA expression of PR and JGFBP4 in the corpus luteum progressively was enhanced at 30 to 60 day, but decreased on 90 day of pregnancy in the corpus luteum. The expression patterns of these genes, PAPP-A and $20{\alpha}$-HSD were similar pattern in these tissues. In conclusion, PAPP-A and $20{\alpha}$-HSD activity in corpus luteum could be played a role for early pregnancy manifestation.

This study was performed to identify and analyze the specifically expressed plasma proteins during early pregnancy in both pregnant and non-pregnant Hanwoo. Blood samples were collected at 0 (the day of AI), 2, 3, 4, 7, and 11 weeks after AI from pregnant (n=3) and non-pregnant (n=4) Hanwoo, respectively. The hematological parameters were measured. After 2-dimensional electrophoresis using serum, normalized protein spots were selected for the significant expression variation deviated over two fold in its expression level between two groups. Among 17 spots selected, 15 were identified as albumin, IgG1 heavy chain constant region, haptoglobin, ferrochelatase, fibrinogen, hemopexin. 5 spots were expressed only in non-pregnant specific. The spot identification of 1105 and 6106 was decreased after 3 weeks from AI. However, 2/17 spots were still unidentified. Further studies are needed to analyze the function of the proteins associated with early pregnancy.

Our goal was to examine the effects of early denudation on the enucleation efficiency and developmental competence of embryos following somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) and parthenogenetic activation (PA). Oocytes were denuded following 30 h of in vitro maturation (IVM) and then cultured with (D+) or without (D-) their detached cumulus cells for additional $10{\sim}14$ h. Control oocytes were denuded after $40{\sim}44$ h of IVM. The size of the perivitelline space was larger at 40 h of IVM ($11.7{\sim}11.8{\mu}m$) than at 30 h ($8.9{\mu}m;$ p<0.01). The distances between the metaphase II (M II) plates and the polar bodies (PBs) were shorter in D+ ($19.4{\mu}m$) and D- oocytes ($18.9{\mu}m$) than in control oocytes ($25.5{\mu}m;$ p<0.01). Enucleation rates following blind aspiration at 40 h of IVM were higher (p<0.01) in D+ (92%) and D- oocytes (93%) compared to controls (82%). Early denudation did not affect oocyte maturation or the in vitro development of SCNT and PA embryos. When SCNT embryos from D+ oocytes were transferred to four gilts, pregnancy was established in two pigs, and one of them farrowed three live piglets. In conclusion, early denudation of oocytes at 30 h of IVM could improve the enucleation efficiency by maintaining the M II plate and the PB within close proximity and support the in vivo development of SCNT embryos to term.
