  • 목 적: 미세리보핵산 (microRNA, miR)은 전사 후 (post-transcriptional) 단계에서 목표 유전자 (target gene)의 발현을 억제하여 세포의 발달과 성장에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 난포의 성장과정 중의 miR 발현 양상에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 따라서 존 연구는 생쥐 난포의 체외배양 후 생식샘자극호르몬 (gonadotropin)과 사람융모성생식샘자극호르몬 (hCG) 첨가에 따른 난자와 난구세포에서의 miR 발현 양상을 살펴보고자 수행되었다. 연구방법: 생후 12일된 생쥐 (C57BL6)의 난소 적출 후, 전동 난포 (preantral follicle)를 분리하여 무작위로 $20\;{\mu}L$ 점적의 배양액만 있는 군 (control group), 재조합 난포자극호르몬을 첨가한 군 (FSH group), 재조합 황체형성호르몬을 첨가한 군 (LH group), FSH와 LH를 같이 첨가한 군 (FSH+LH group)으로 나누어 배양하였다. 난포가 충분히 성장하였을 때, 다시 hCG를 첨가한 군 (hCG (+) group)과 첨가하지 않은 군 (hCG (-) group)으로 나누어 hCG (-) group에서 난자와 난구세포를 각각 분리하여 RNA를 추출하였다. 36시간 후, 배란된 난자 난구세포 복합체 (cumulus oocyte complex, COC)에서 난자와 난구세포를 각각 분리하여 RNA를 추출하고, mmu--miR-16, -miR-27a, -miR-126, -miR-721 등의 miR에 대한 primer를 이용하여 실시간 중합연쇄반응을 시행하였다. 결 과: 배란율과 MII 난자 생성율은 다른 군들에 비해 FSH+LH군에서 유의하게 높았다. 각 군내의 난자와 난구세포 사이에서도 miR 발현 양상의 차이가 관찰되었다. 또한, 난자와 난구세포에서의 miR 발현 양상은 각 군간 차이가 있었으며, hCG (+)군과 hCG (-)군간에도 차이를 나타냈다. 결 론: 생쥐 난포의 체외배양 중 난자 및 난구세포에서의 miR 발현 양상은 gonadotropin의 종류 및 난자의 성숙도에 따라 다르다. 이러한 결과는 표적 유전자의 발현에 대한 추후 연구를 통한 확인이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • The follicular fluid (FF) of ovary contains various biological active products which affected on the growth of follicles and the fertilization of oocyte in physiological reproductive process of mammals. This study was designed to determine the effects of human FF on fertilization of oocyte and embryonal development in vitro culture. The FF was prepared as clear without blood contamination by needle aspiration from mature follicles of human at the time of oocytes retrieval for in vitro fertilization (IVF). As the medium for culture in vitro of embryonal cells, human tubal fluid (HTF) supplemented with follicular fluids at concentrations of 10%, 40% and pure FF were used. These effects were compared to control group of cultured embryos in HTF supplemented with 0.4% BSA (bovine serum albumin). For IVF, 64 eggs in control group, 67 eggs in 10% FF, 57 eggs in 40% FF and 64 eggs in pure FF were respectively allocated. And the rates of fertilization were almost similar in all groups as resulting 82.81% in control, 85.07% in 10% FF, 87.71% in 40% FF and 81.25% in pure FF. On the examination for embryonal cleavage from fertilized eggs, the rates of developing to 4 cell stage was similar in all groups, as results 98.11% in control, 98.27% in 10% FF and 98% in 40% FF but 78.84% in pure FF. And the rates of developing to 8-16 cell stage were significantly reduced as 44% in 40% FF and 44.23% in pure FF (p<0.05) compare to 71.69% in control media. As likewise, the rates of developing to morular stage were also significantly reduced to 36% (p<0.05) and 21.15% (p<0.01) respectively in 40% FF and pure FF. And the rates to blastocystic stage of embryo was lowest as 7.69% in pure FF (Table 1). The quality of embryonal cells on cleavage to the 8-16 cell stage was poorer, higher concentrations of FF. The rates of grade 1 in pure FF, as 23.07%, was lowest compare to those of other groups, in which the rates of grade 1 in control, 10% FF and 40% FF were 58.49%, 47.36% and 34% respectively. And on the contrary, the rate of grade 4 in pure FF was highest as 23.07%, while those were 5.66% in control, 8.77% in 10% FF and 20% in 40% FF (Table 2). On the viability of embryos, the rate of embryonal cell death was more rise, at the higher concentrations as well as longer exposure in the follicular fluid. At 48 hours after in vitro culture of embryos, the rate of survival embryos in pure FF was markedly lowered as 44.23%, compare to that of control (p<0.05). But there was not significant difference between the rates of survival embryos in each group beside the pure FF, which the rates were 77.35% in control, 70.17% in 10% FF and 60% in 40% FF respectively. And at 72 hours after in vitro culture, the rates of survival embryos were also significantly dropped to 21.15% in pure and 36% in 40% at concentration of FF compare to 62.26% in control (p<0.05, p<0.01). Finally, the rate of embryonal death at 96 hours after in vitro culture was highest as 82.69% in pure FF among all groups which those were 35.84 in control, 56.14% in 10% FF and 64% in 40% FF respectively (Fig. 1, 2, 3). In conclusion, this study suggests that the FF has no effects, in particular, to the in vitro fertilization of oocytes but exerted a bad effect to the cleavage, quality and viability of the embryonal cells during in vitro culture. However, the FF is harmful on embryonal development at conditions in higher concentration and especially on the embryos after $8{\sim}16$ cell stage.
