  • The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of paternal sex chromosome on early development of buffalo embryos fertilized and cultured in vitro. Embryos were produced in vitro from abattoir derived buffalo oocytes. The cleaved embryos were cocultured with buffalo oviductal epithelial cells and evaluated on day 7 under the phase contrast microscope to classify development. The embryos which reached the morula/blastocyst stage were fast developing, the embryos which were at 16-32 cell stage were medium developing and the embryos below 16 cell stage were slow developing. The embryos which showed some fragmentation in the blastomeres or degenerated blastomeres, were degenerating. Sex of emberyos (n=159) was determined using PCR for amplification of a male specific BRY. 1 (301 bp) and a buffalo specific satellite DNA (216 bp) fragments. The results thus obtained show that 1) X and Y chromosome bearing sperms fertilize oocytes to give almost equal numbers of cleaved XX and XY embryos, 2) male embryos develop faster than female embryos to reach advanced stage and 3) degeneration of buffalo embryos is not linked with the paternal sex chromosome. We suggest that faster development of males is due to differential processing of X and Y chromosome within the zygote for its activation and / or differential expression of genes on paternal sex chromosome sex chromosome during development of buffalo embryos fertilized and cultured in vitro which may be attributed to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

  • 초파리의 성 염색체의 구성 여하에 따라 그 제 3염색체의 분리가 달라지는가를 조사하기 위하여 성 염색체의 구성이 다른 8가지 인자형을 만들고 제 3염색체 marker로서 e와 se를 이용하여 se의 분리를 k값으로 검토하고 아울러 성비를 조사 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. se의 분리 즉 k 값은 인자형간에 그리고 성간에 매우 유의적인 차를 보였으며 인자형과 성과의 상호작용도 유의적 차이를 보여 주었다. 이것은 분명히 se 제3염색체의 분리가 성 염색체의 구서에 영향을 받은 것을 말해 준다. 2. k(여) 값이나 k(남)값은 다 같이 인자형간에 유의적 차이를 볼 수 없다. 3. se자손의 성비는 인자형간에 매우 유의적 차이를 보였으나 e자손에서는 뚜렷한 차이를 볼수 없었다. 4. 평균적으로 k(남) 값은 k(여)값보다 높고, se자손의 성비는 e자손의 성비보다 높았다. 5. 이러한 결과는 어떤 종류의 prezygotic selection이 작용하는 것으로 해석할수 있는데, 즉 e 제3염색체와 Y염색체의 조합이 수정전에 감수되는 것으로 생각할 수 있다. 이러한 문제는 종래 초파리 등에서 실시했던 생존력 추정을 재 평가할 필요성을 말해주는 것이다.

  • Preconceptual sex selection is still a highly debatable process whereby X- and Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa are isolated prior to fertilization of the oocyte. Although various separation techniques are available, none can guarantee 100% accuracy. The aim of this study was to separate X- and Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa using methods based on the viability difference between the X- and Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa. A total of 18 experimental semen samples were used, written consent was obtained from all donors and results were analysed in a blinded fashion. Spermatozoa were exposed to different pH values (5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, and 9.5), increased temperatures ($37^{\circ}C$, $41^{\circ}C$, and $45^{\circ}C$) and ROS level ($50{\mu}M$, $750{\mu}M$, and $1,000{\mu}M$). The live and dead cell separation was done through a modified swim-up technique. Changes in the sex-chromosome ratio of samples were established by double-label fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) before and after processing. The results indicated successful enrichment of X-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa upon incubation in acidic media, increased temperatures, and elevated $H_2O_2$. This study demonstrated the potential role for exploring the physiological differences between X-and Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa in the development of preconceptual gender selection.

  • Sex-sorting of sperm is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) used by the livestock industry for the mass production of animals of a desired sex. The standard method for sorting sperm is the detection of DNA content differences between X and Y chromosome-bearing sperm by flow cytometry. However, this method has variable efficiency and therefore requires verification by a second method. We have developed a sex determination method based on quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) of the porcine amelogenin (AMEL) gene. The AMEL gene is present on both the X and the Y chromosome, but the length and sequence of its noncoding regions differ between the X and Y chromosomes. By measuring the threshold cycle (Ct) of qPCR, we were able to calculate the relative frequency of X chromosome. Two sets of AMEL primers were used in these studies. One set (AME) targeted AMEL gene sequences present in both X and Y chromosome, but produced PCR products of different lengths for each chromosome. The other set (AXR) bound to AMEL gene sequences present on the X chromosome but absent esholthe Y-chromosome. Relative product levels were calculated by normalizing the AXR fluorescence to the AME fluorescence. The AMEL method accurately predicted the sex ratios of boar sperm, demonstrating that it has potential value as a sex determination method.

  • 본 연구는 한우 체외수정란의 정확한 성판별을 위한 PCR의 적정조건을 검토하였고, Y 염색체 특이적 DNA primer(BOV97M : 141bp)와 소 특이적 DNA primer(216bp)를 이용한 2단계 PCR 방법으로 체외수정란의 발육속도에 따른 성판별율과 성비를 검토하였다. PCR 기법을 이용한 한우 체외수정란의 성판별은 Y 염색체 특이적 DNA primer와 소 특이적 DNA primer로 정확히 성을 판별할 수 있었으며, 웅성 수정란의 경우 141bp와 216bp에서 band가 나타났고, 자성 수정란의 경우 216bp에서 band가 나타났다. 한우 체외수정란의 경우 성판별 정확도를 높이기 위하여 투명대의 제거가 필요하며, 수정란의 DNA 추출방법에 따른 Y 염색체 특이적 band의 출현율은 Proteinase K와 반복 동결융해방법이 각각 45.2 및 53.3%로 나타났다. DNA의 양에 따른 성판별율은 zona free인 경우는 2$\mu$1와 10$\mu$1에서 각각 97.2%와 92.2% 였으며, zona intact의 경우는 12$\mu$1와 13$\mu$1에서는 각각 91.5%와 93.6%로서 zona free 수정란의 경우 2$\mu$1, zona intact의 경우 13$\mu$1의 DNA 양으로 성판별이 가능하였다. 한편, PCR 기법에 의한 한우 체외수정란의 성판별율은 96.0%였으며, 정확히 성판별을 할수 없는 비율은 4.0%였다. 성판별 수정란의 자성과 웅성의 비율은 46.3%와 49.7%로서 성비는 1.1:1이였으며, 발육단계간 자웅성비는 커다란 차이가 인정되지 않았으며, 발육단계가 진행될수록 성판별 정확도가 증가하였다.

  • These studies were conducted to determine the sex of preimplantation Hanwoo embryos produced in vitro using polymerase chain reaction(PCR). Y chromosome specific and bovine speicific DNA primers were synthesized and tested for embryo sexing. Bovine IVF embryos were produced in TCM 199 and CR1aa medium, and classified by developmental stages on Day 7 to 9. The effects of developmental rates to bovine IVF blastocysts on sex ratio were also investigated using PCR methods. The results obtained in this study were as follows; 1. Developmental rates to blastocyst from IVM/IVF embryos in TCM 199 and CR1aa medium for 9 days were 23.5 and 30.2%, respectively, and there was significant difference between the media(P<0.05). 2. Male to female ratio of early, mid, expanded and hatching balstocyst produced on Day 7 were 0.7:1, 1.4:1, 2.2:1, and 2.5:1, respectively, and male embryos was significantly higher proportion in expanding and hatching blastocysts(P<0.01). 3. On Day 8, male to female ratio of early, mid, expanded and hatching blastocysts were 0.6:1, 1:1, 2.5:1, and 2.7:1, respectively. Both expanded and hatching blastocysts obtained a significantly higher proportion of males(P<0.01). 4. The male : female ratio of early, mid, expanded and hatching blastocyst produced on Day 9 was 0.6:1, 0.8:1, 1:1, and 2.2:1, respectively. Hatching blastocysts had a significantly higher ratio of males(P<0.01). The developmental rate of IVM/IVF embryos to blastocyst for 9 day culture was higher in CR1aa than that in TCM 199 medium. For the sex ratio by developmental stages of IVF embryos, male ratio was higher in expanded blastocyst but female in early blastocysts.

  • Gender selection is important in livestock industries; for example, female calves are required in the dairy industry. Sex-sorted semen is commonly used for the production of calves of the desired gender. However, assessment of the sex ratio of the sorted semen is tedious and expensive. In this study, a rapid, cost effective and reliable method for determining the sex ratio was developed using a multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. In this assay, the X and Y chromosome-specific markers, i.e., bovine proteolipid protein (PLP) gene and sex-determining region Y (SRY) were simultaneously quantified in a single tube. The multiplex real-time PCR assay was shown to have high amplification efficiencies (97% to 99%) comparable to the separated-tube simplex real-time PCR assay. The results obtained from both assays were not significantly different (p>0.05). The multiplex assay was validated using reference DNA of known X ratio (10%, 50%, and 90%) as templates. The measured %X in semen samples were the same within 95% confidence intervals as the expected values, i.e., >90% in X-sorted semen, <10% in Y-sorted semen and close to 50% in the unsorted semen. The multiplex real-time PCR assay as shown in this study can thus be used to assess purity of sex-sorted semen.
