The success of embryo cloning depends on numerous factors; interaction between recipient ooplasm and donor nucleus, nuclear reprogramming, oocyte activation, and donor cell cycle and type. In this study, the cell cycle and apoptosis of bovine fetal fibroblast as a donor cell for embryo cloning were evaluated following different activation treatments. (omitted)

Since the first birth of pig derived from embryonic cells by nuclear transfer, many researches to produce cloned pig have been carried out. Recently, two reports about the birth of somatic cell cloned pigs using in vivo oocytes and also Betthauser et al. (2000) reported the birth of somatic cell cloned pigs using in vitro oocytes. So here we investigated the effect of activation method and culture medium on in vitro development of porcine nuclear transfer embryo using fetal fibroblast. Oocytes derived from slaughter house obtained ovaries were matured for 42 to 44 h in TCM 199. Matured oocytes were denuded using 0.1% hyaluronidase and then Oocytes with the first polar body were used for enucleation by aspirating the first polar body and adjacent cytoplasm in TCM 199 supplemented with 7.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$ cytochalasin B. Petal fibroblast cells were prepared from 35 days old fetus. To be used as donor cells, fetal fibroblast cells were serum starved for 3 to 5 days and then isolated into single co:1 by trypsinization. Nuclear transfer embryos were fused using 2 times 1.25㎸ for 30$mutextrm{s}$. Fused NT embryos were activated with calcium ionophore (CI) and 6-dimethyl-aminopurine (6-DMAP). Activated oocytes were cultured in NCSU 23 or BECM 3 for 6 days. There was no significant difference between chemical activation and no chemical activation for blastocyst development rate(11.6 vs. 14.8%). However, cell number was significantly higher when NT embryos were activated with CI and 6-DMAP (31.2 vs. 22.6). When NT embryos were cultured in NCSU 23 or BECM 3, blastocyst development rate was 16.4 and 13.2%, respectively, and cell number was 31.5 and 24.1, respectively. These results suggest that chemical activation after fusion and culture in NCSU 23 could increase cell number of porcine NT embryos.

Interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT) is a valuable tool for studying the interactions between an oocyte and somatic nucleus. The object of this study was to investigate the developmental competence of in vitro-matured porcine oocytes after transfer of the somatic cell nuclei of 2 different species (goat and rabbit). Porcine cumulus oocytes were obtained from the follicles of ovaries and matured in TCM-199. The reconstructed embryos were electrically fused with 2 DC pulses of 1.1kV/cm for $30{\mu}s$ 0.3M mannitol medium. The activated cloned embryos were cultured in porcine zygote medium-3 (PZM-3), mSOF or RDH medium for 7 days. The blastocyst formation rate of the embryos reconstructed from goat or rabbit fetal fibroblasts was significantly lower than that of the embryos reconstructed from porcine fetal fibroblast cells. However, a significantly higher number of embryos reconstructed from goat or rabbit fetal fibroblasts cultured in mSOF or RDH, respectively, developed to the morular stage than those cultured in PZM-3. These results suggest that goat and bovine fetal fibroblasts were less efficacious than porcine-porcine cloned embryos and that culture condition could be an important factor in iSCNT. The lower developmental potential of goat-porcine and porcine-bovine cloned embryos may be due to incompatibility between the porcine oocyte cytoplasm and goat and bovine somatic nuclei.

This study was conducted to investigate nuclear remodeling and developmental rate following nuclear transfer of fetal fibroblast cells, ear skin cells and oviduct epithelial cells into porcine recipient oocytes. To test par-thenogenetic activation, oocytes were treated with a 6-dimethylaminopurine (6-DMAP), a single DC-pulse (DC), calcium ionomycin (ionomycin), DC+6-DMAP and ionomycin + 6-DMAP after in vitro maturation. For nuclear transfer, in vitro matured oocytes were enucleated, and donor cells were transferred into oocytes. Cloned embryos were fused and stimulated with 6-DMAP for 4 h and cultured in vitro for 6 days. Among treatments for parthenogenesis, the activation rate of DC +6-DMAP treatment was significantly higher than that of single treatment roups (p<0.01), except for DC treatment group. However, the difference was not significant in activation rate compared to other complex treatment groups. Nuclear swelling of the cloned embryos was initiated at 60 min after stimulation and increased afterwards. Fusion rates were not different among different donor cells. Cleavage rates of DC treatment groups were significantly higher than those of DC+6-DMAP treatment groups (p<0.05) in case that fetal fibroblast and ear cells were used for nuclear donor. The cloned embryos from developed to blastocysts in oviduct epithelial cell nuclear transfer with DC+6-DMAP treatment was significantly higher compared to those with DC only treatment (p<0.05). However, no blastocyst was developed from nuclear transfer of fetal fibroblast and ear cells regardless of activation treatments. Based on these results, a proper activation stimulation may be necessary to increase the activation rate and the development to blastocyst in cloned porcine embryos.

The development of isolated blastomeres from mammalian preimplantation embryos has been basically studied for the multiplication of embryos from superior animals. Therefore, this study was investigated the effect of co-culture with mouse fetal fibroblast cells(MFFC) on in vitro development of blastomeres from mouse preimplantation embryos. Mature female ICR mice were treated with hormone to induce superovulation and embryos were collected at each 2, 4, and 8-cell stage. Then, after removing zona pellucida with protease, blastomeres were isolated by micropipetting, or reconstituted with different stage blastomere, and incubated for 72 hrs either in T6 or TCM199 or on the monolayer of MFFC, which was prepared with fibroblast cells from 14∼14 day mouse fetus. After incubation, we examined their development rates every day and the nuclei numbers of each blastocyst by Hoechst-33342 staining. In the development rates of blastomeres, there were no significant differences between media but the higher rateswere found in the monolayer of MFFC, regardless of reconsititution. In addition, blastomeres cultured with MFFC had slightly greater number of nuclei than those cultured in single media. Generally, the higher development rates of blastomeres were found from earlier stage embryos than the later ones, regardless of culture conditions. Reconsitituted blastomeres had more nuclei but did not show the higher development rates, compared to the single blastomeres. Taken together, our results suggest that co-culture with MFFC have a beneficial effect on the in vitro development of blastomeres from mouse embryos.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of donor cell passage, size and type on the development of nuclear transfer embryos. Porcine cumulus cells, fetal fibroblasts and oviductal epithelial cells from 1-2, 3-6 and 7-10 passages were used for the nuclear transfer. In the oocytes with the cumulus donor cells, fusion and cleavage rates of oocytes and cell numbers per blastocyst among the three different passage groups did not show any differences, but the rates of blastocyst formation from 1-2 and 3-6 passage groups were higher than those from 7-10 passage group. The rates of fusion, cleavage and blastocyst formation, and the cell numbers per blastocyst were higher in the embryos with the sizes of <20 and 20 ${\mu}m$ cumulus donor cells compared to the >20 ${\mu}m$ cumulus donor cell. In the oocytes with the fetal fibroblast donor cells, the rate of blastocyst formation from the 3-6 passage group was higher than from 1-2 and 7-10 passage groups. The embryos with the size of 20 $\mu{m}$ fetal fibroblast donor cell showed higher rate of blastocyst formation compared to those with <20 and >20 ${\mu}m$ donor cells. In the oocytes with the oviductal epithelial cells, the rates of blastocyst formation from 1-2 and 3-6 passage groups were higher compared to those from 7-10 passage group. The embryos with the sizes of <20 and 20 ${\mu}m$ oviductal epithelial donor cells had a higher rate of blastocyst formation compared to those with >20 ${\mu}m$ donor cell. Fusion and cleavage rates of oocytes, and cell numbers per blastocyst among the three different donor cell types from the 3-6 passage did not show any differences. However, the rate of blastocyst formation of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos with the fetal fibroblast donor cell was higher than that of blastocyst formation of SCNT embryos with the cumulus and oviductal epithelial donor cells.
