Embryonic compaction is essential for normal preimplantation development in mammals. The present study was to investigate the effects of compaction patterns on developmental competence of pig embryos. The proportion of blastocyst formation derived from compacted morula was higher than those of compacting and pre-compacting morula (P<0.01). Nuclei numbers of inner cell mass (ICM), trophectoderm (TE), and total of blastocysts derived from compacted group were also superior to those of compacting and pre-compacting groups (P<0.05). Then, compaction patterns, developmental ability and structural integrity were compared between mono- and poly-spermic embryos. The rate of compacted morula in mono-spermic embryos was higher than that of poly-spermic embryos (P<0.05). Especially, the rate of blastocyst formation derived from compacted embryos in mono-spermic embryo group was higher than that of poly-spermic embryo group (P<0.05), although no difference was detected between the two groups in the structural integrity. Finally, we confirmed that beta-catenin was differentially expressed according to compaction patterns in morula and blastocyst stage embryos. In conclusion, our results suggest that the compaction patterns during preimplantation development play a direct role in developmetal competence and quality of pig embryos.

Xenotransplantation of pig islet regarded as a good alternative to allotransplantation. However, cellular death mediated by hypoxia-reoxygenation injury after transplantation disturb success of this technique. In the present study, we produce transgenic pig expressing human heme oxygenase 1 (HO1) genes to overcome cellular death for improving efficiency of islet xenotransplantation. Particularly, Korean miniature pig breed, Micro-Pig, was used in the present study. Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technique was used to produce the HO1 transgenic pig. Six alive transgenic piglets were produced and all the transgenic pigs were founded to have transgene in their genomic DNA and the gene was expressed in all tested organs. Also, in vitro cultured fibroblasts derived from the HO1 transgenic pig showed low reactive oxygen species level, improved cell viability and reduced apoptosis level.

Pig organ is thought to be the most suitable nonhuman organ for xenotransplanstation. However, one of the major constraints to using pig organs for xenotransplantation is human natural antibody-mediated hyperacute rejection (HAR). Elimination of a(1,3) galactosyltransferase (GGTA1) from the pig is expected to be a solution to the problem of hyperacute rejection. ry1any efforts have made characterization of GGTA1 in structure and function. improvement in the technique of DNA transfection of somatic cells and advancement of the pig NT, a specific modification has been made to one copy of the GGTA1 gene by Missouri group in 2002. To date because homozygousity of the genetic modification has been achieved in this gene, the role of gala(1,3) gal specific natural antibody in HAR and the efficacy of xenotransplantation in a nonhuman primate model will be addressed. If other genes are found to be involved in rejection of pig donors by primates, the technology will be available to modify those genes so that rejection can be overcome.
