본 연구는 난관액과 oviductal conditioned medium 이 다정자 침입과 체외배발달에 미치는 효과를 규명하기 위하여 수행하였다. 배양액내 난관액과 oviductal conditioned medium 의 첨가는 다정자침입율과 난자내 침입한 평균정자수를 감소시켰다 (P＜0.05). 정자와 난관액 그리고 oviductal conditioned medium 과 l.5, 3, 4.5 시간 공배양후 첨체반응의 성적은 대조구에 비하여 증가하였다. 체외수정후 체외발달 배양액에 난관액이나 oviductal conditioned medium 을 첨가하여 192 시간동안 배양했을 때 상실배와 배반포배발달율이 난관액과 oviductal conditioned medium 첨가구에서 유의적으로 높았다 (P＜0.05). 이러한 연구결과는 난관액과 OVCM 등 난관 유래물질은 다정자침입율과 난자내 침입한 평균정자수를 감소시키며 체외발달율을 높인다고 사료된다.

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of oviductal fluid, porcine zygote medium (PZM)-3, PZM-4 and PZM-5, and modified PZM-5 culture media, and determine the effects of zona pellucida (ZP) removal on the development of nuclear transfer (NT) embryos. There were no significant differences in the rates of fusion and cleavage among the five different oviductal fluid concentrations. However, the rates of blastocyst formation and the cell numbers per blastocyst were high in the embryos at the 14 and 28 $\mu{g}$/ml concentrations of oviductal fluid compared to the 0, 56 and 100 $\mu{g}$/ml concentrations. The rates of cleavage and blastocyst formation, and the cell numbers per blastocyst were higher in the PZM-3, PZM-5 and modified PZM-5 media than in the PZM-4 medium. However, there were no significant differences in the fusion rates of oocytes among the four culture media. The cell numbers per blastocyst in the embryos without ZP were significantly greater than those with ZP. However, there were no significant differences in the rates of fusion, cleavage and blastocyst formation between the embryos with and without ZP. In conclusion, we improved blastocyst development and the quality of NT embryos by replacing PVA with 3 mg/ml of BSA in PZM-5 medium and supplementing the PZM-5 medium with 14 $\mu{g}$/ml oviductal fluid. The NT embryos produced by the zona-free NT method had a high rate of blastocyst formation in the modified PZM-5 medium.

돼지난포란의 체외성숙, 체외수정 및 체외 배양체계의 개발은 핵치환에 의한 복제동물 및 형질전환 동물생산 등과 같은 첨단생명공학연구 추진에 크게 기여할 것이다. 그러나 돼지난자의 체외수정시 다정자 침입은 큰 문제점으로 지적되고 있는데, 그 원인 및 개선책은 많은 연구에도 불구하고 정확히 밝혀져 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구는 돼지 난포란으로부터 채취한 난자를 체외성숙 후, 체외수정시 체외수정 배양액에 난관액을 첨가하여 수정율 및 다정자 침입율을 조사하고, 또한 체외수정 후 체외 배 발달율을 조사할 목적으로 실시하였다. 수정용 배양액에 1과 5% 난관액을 첨가하였을 때 정자침입율과 수정시 난자에 침입한 정자의 평균 수가 감소하였으며, 또한 투명대에 부착된 정자의 수도 감소하였다. 난관액이 첨가된 수정용 배양액에서 정자를 1.5와 3시간 동안 전 배양을 실시하였을 때 정자의 수정능 획득과 첨체반응이 대조군에 비해 증가되었다. 그리고 1% 난관액이 포함된 배양액에서 체외수정된 난자의 배반포까지 발달율은 18.9%로 대조구의 12.4%보다 유의성 있게 높았다. 이러한 연구결과는 난관 분비액의 어떤 인자가 정자의 첨체반응을 유도해서 정자침입율 및 다정자 침입을 감소시키고, 이어 배발달율을 증가시킨다고 사료된다.

The different developmental stage embryos and oviductal and uterine fluids of rabbit were analyzed by gas chromatography. Myristic (C 14:0), palmitic (C 16:0), palmitoleic (C 16:1), stearic (C 18:0), oleic (C 18:1), linoleic (C 18:2), linolenic (C 18:3), arachidic (C 20:0), arachidonic (C 20:4), docosahexaenoic (C 22:6) and lignoceric (C 24:0) acids were the common fatty acid constituents with little exception. In most of the samples palmitic, oleic, linoleic and arachidonic acids were observed in high concentration. Moreover, linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic acids were the three poly-unsaturated fatty acids in both type sample except day-1 oviductal fluids. Similarly, in both day-1 and day-2 oviductal and uterine fluids myristic, palmitoleic, stearic, linolenic, arachidic and docosahexaenoic acids were in less composition or undetected.

The fatty acid compositions of oocytes, follicular, oviductal and uterine fluids of pig and cow were analyzed using gas chromatography. Myristic (C 14: 0), palmitic (C 16: 0), palmitoleic (C 16: 1), stearic (C 18 : 0), oleic (C 18: 1), linoleic (C 18: 2), linolenic (C 18: 3) and arachidonic (C 20: 4) acids were identified as the common fatty acid constituents with little exception. Oleic acid composition was the highest (21.90 to 36.24%) in both pig and cow followed by palmitic (18.61 to 31.90%) and stearic (10.34 to 20.39%) acid. The three polyunsaturated fatty acids like linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic acids were detected in both pig and cow reproductive fluid samples. Myristic acid was not detected in pig oviductal fluid. Similarly, in cow oocytes myristic, palmitoleic and linolenic acids were not detected. Moreover, palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acid comprised about 80% (73.74 to 88.00%) of the total fatty acids in the different samples analyzed in both animals.

While tubal pregnancy is frequently observed in human, it has been reported to rarely occur in other mammals. To investigate the reason of the absence of tubal pregnancy in other mammals, the ability of bovine tubal(oviductal) fluid to su, pp.rt the outgrowth of mouse embryos waw examined by using an in vitro model system wherein the trophoblast cells of hatched mouse blastocysts attach to and outgrow on tissue culture plates coated with FBS. When mouse blastocysts grwon in vitro from 2-cell embryos were cultrued in the dishes coated with FBS, human follicular fluid(hFF) and bovine follicular fluid(bFF), respectively, underwent outgrowth by spreading onto the plastic dishes during 48 hr. In contrast, none of the embryos cultured in the dishes coated with BSA or bovine obiductal fluid(bOF) did outgrow but remained as late blastocysts. Since addition of bOF at 5mg/ml or higher conc. to the culture medium resulted in degeneration of all embryos during 48 hr culture, 10mM conc. of glutathione(GSH) was added to the bOF-containing medium to circumvent the toxicity of bOF. In addition, bOF was heated $65^{\circ}C$ for 30 min(hbOF) to get rid of its precipitating properties and then added to the culture medium. When blastocysts were cultured in the presence of both hbOF and GSH 45.4% of embryos attached to the culture dishes. However, none of these embryos underwent outgrowth. Fially embryos were cultured in the presence of both hbOF and GSH but in the dishes coated with FBS. When they were examined after 48 hr, all of the blastocysts exhibited well-developed outgrwoth. Based upon these results, it is concluded that bovine oviductal fluid is capable of su, pp.rting the attchment of mouse blastocysts onto the culture plaste whereas it cannot promote the outgrwoth of mouse blastocysts in vitro, probably due to the lack of outgrwoth factor.

포유류의 난자가 수란관내로 배란될 때는 난포액 성분도 같이 수란관내로 들어간다. 본 연구에서는 처음으로 난포액의 일부 성분이 수란관액에 의해서 변화하는 것을 관찰하였다. 사람의 난포액을 gelatin zymogram으로 분석한 결과 621kDa gelatinase 이외에 110kDa gelatinase (GA110) 등의 여러 gelatinase 활성이 나타났다. 이 활성들은 EDTA나 phenanthroline에 의해 억제된 반면 PMSF 처리에 의해서는 아무런 변화가 없었다. 소의 수란관액에서는 62kDa gelatinase의 활성만이 주로 관찰되었다. 소의 수란관 액과 사람의 난포액을 1:1로 섞고 이를 37$^{\circ}$C에서 3시간 동안 둔 결과 사람의 난포액의 GA110 활성은 사라졌다. 사람의 난포액에 APMA를 첨가한 결과 GA110의 활성은 대부분 감소하고 대신 62kDa gelatinase의 활성은 오히려 증가하였다. 반면에 사람의 난포액에 EDTA를 3시간 동안 처리한 결과 GA110의 활성은 오히려 현저히 증가하였고 이 때 다른 gelatinases의 활성은 영향을 받지 않았다. PMSF나SBTI는 난포액내의 gelatinases활성에 아무런 변화를 일으키지 않았다. EDTA, PMTA 혹은 SBTI 등의 proteinase inhibitor를 미리 처리한 사람의 난포액에 소의 수란관 내액을 섞은 경우에도GA110의 활성은 여전히 감소하였다. 사람의 혈청에서도 EDTA에 의해 활성이 현저히 증가하는 GA110이 발견되었다. 사람의 난포액과 유사하게 혈청내의 GA110도 소의 수란관액에 의하여 활성이 사라졌다. 그러나 사람의 난포과립세포의 추출물에서는 단지 92kDa gelatinase만 관찰이 되었다. 마지막으로 anti-human gelatinase A 항체를 사용하여 사람의 난포액과 혈청 그리고 난포과립세포의 추출액을 western blotting한 결과 621kDa과 GA110 만이 항원-항체 반응을 나타내었다. 이 같은 결과로 미루어 사람의 난포액과 혈청에는 gelatinase A의 독특한 isoform인 GA110이 있으며 특히 난포액내의 GA110은 수란관액성분에 의해 선택적으로 분해되는 것으로 여겨진다.

The mammalian oviduct is a place where ontogeny of an animal begins. Nowadays, however, it is possilbe to manipulate a part of physiological events occurring in the oviduct so that fertilization of gametes and early embryonic development of zygotes could proceed outside oviductal environment. Rabbit zygotes readily develop to blastocysts in a conventional culture condition. Most of the mouse fertilized eggs do so when cultured under a specific environment, e.g., in a medium containing ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid. Similarly, a significant number of zygotes from rat, sheep, pig or cattle can develop to blastocysts if they are cultured in the presence of particular component which appear to be somewhat species-specific. Instead of changing the components of medium, somatic cells including oviductal epithelial cells, have widely been used to improve mammalian embryonic development in vitro. Many investigators have reported that mammalian zygotes, whether fertilized in vivo or in vitro, could develop to blastocysts when they were cultured on a monolayer of various kinds of somatic cells or even in a somatic cell-conditioned medium. While little is known about the nature of embryotrophic factor(s) produced in vitro by somatic cells, the existence fo oviduct-specific protein(s) has consistently been demonstrated in many laboratories. Some of these proteins are reported to be associated with oviductal eggs. However, the physiological role of these proteins has still to be determined. Recently we observed that the perivitelline space of mouse oocytes was fluorescently stained with various fluorochrome-protein conjugates following ovulation into the oviducts or upon their expossure to oviductal extracts. Furthermore, it was also found that cattle or pig oviductal fluid gave similar results when examined using mouse ghost ZP. These observations lead to suggest that mammalian oviduct induces changes of biochemical properties of oocytes. Further studies are needed to clarify the nature of oviductal factor(s) and the physiological meaning of the reaction.
