dbcAMP에 의한 卵子의 核 崩壞 抑制作用을 電子顯微鏡的으로 究明하기 위하여 생쥐 濾胞卵子의 微細構造를 관찰하였던 바 다음과 같은 結論을 얻었다. 1. 實驗群에서의 核膜의 彎曲은 對照群의 것에 비하여 얼마간 줄고 있으며 2種의 核膜이 정상적으로 유지되고 있으나, 核膜을 따라 무수히 많은 核膜孔이 나타나고 있다. 이는 核 崩壞 抑制와 연관성이 있는 것으로 추정할 수 있다. 2. mitochondria는 對照群에서는 細胞質 전체에 산재해 있고, cristae의 構造가 뚜렷하지 못한 未分化 혹은 移行型의 것들이 많은 반면, 實驗群에서는 mitochondria가 대체로 核 周邊部에 모여 있으며 cristae가 얼마간 발달한 상태를 나타내고 있다. 3. Iysosome은 實驗群에서 그 構造도 보다 단순하고 또 그 數도 對照群에 비하여 얼마간 減少하고 있다. 4. Golgi complex는 對照群에서는 전현적인 顆粒, 層板狀 構造를 하고있으나, 實驗群에서의 것은 그다지 뚜렷하지가 않다. 5. multivesicular body는 兩群이 모두 다수 나타나고 있으며, tonofilament도 무수히 존재하고, 細胞質 전반에 걸쳐 free ribosome이 존재하고 있다. 6. 細胞膜의 microvilli의 形態는 實驗群에서는 無定形으로 변하고 있으며, perivitellin space도 상당히 넓어지고 있다. 7. 以上의 觀察結果로 미루어 보아 dbcAMP를 處理하여 24시간 배양한 卵子와, 卵巢에서 직접 採取한 卵子의 電子顯微鏡的 構造에는 근본적인 변화는 볼 수 없으며, 實驗群의 卵子에서 核膜孔의 數가 뚜렷이 증가하고 있는 것은 dbcAMP가 核膜의 透過性에 어떠한 영향을 미치므로써 卵子의 成熟을 억제하고 있는 것이 아닌가 보인다.

The purpose of this study is to examined the electrofusion and activation conditions for the production of porcine somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos. In this study, immature oocytes were cultured in TCM-199 with and without hormones for 22 hours. Skin fibroblasts cells of porcine were transferred into the perivitelline space of enucleated in vitro matured oocytes. Cell fusion was performed with two different pulses that each one pulse (DC) of 1.1 kV/cm or 1.5 kV/cm for $30{\mu}sec$. After fusion subsequent activation were divided into three groups; non-treatment (control) and treatment with 2 mM 6-DMAP or $7.5{\mu}g/ml$ cytochalasin B for 4 hours. Transferred embryos were cultured in PZM-3 (Porcine Zygote Medium-3) in $5%\;CO_2$ and 95% air at $39^{\circ}C$ for 7 day. Apoptosis-related genes (Caspase-3, BCL-2, mTOR, and MMP-2) were analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. There was no significant difference between two different electrofusion stimuli in the cleavage rate; $64.9{\pm}4.8%$ in 1.1 kV/cm and $62.7{\pm}4.0%$ in 1.5 kV/cm. However, blastocyst formation rate (%) was significantly different among three different activation groups (no treatment, 2 mM 6-DMAP or $7.5{\mu}g/ml$ cytochalasin B) combined with electrofusion of 1.1 kV/cm. The blastocyst formation rate was $12.6{\pm}2.5$, $20.0{\pm}5.0$, and $34.9{\pm}4.3%$ in control, 2 mM 6-DMAP, and $7.5{\mu}g/ml$ cytochalasin B, respectively. Immunofluorescence data showed that expression levels of caspase-3 in SCNT embryos undeveloped to blastocyst stage were higher than those in the blastocyst stage embryos. Expression levels of Bcl-2 in blastocyst stage embryos were higher than those in the arrested SCNT embryos. These results showed that the combination of an electric pulse (1.1 kV/cm for $30{\mu}sec$) and $7.5{\mu}g/ml$ cytochalasin B treatment was effective for production of the porcine SCNT embryos.

To produce reconstituted rabbit embryos with fetal fibroblasts, the present study was evaluated the efficiencies of the different fusion and activation conditions as assessments of subsequent development and chromosome in the embryos. New Zealand White rabbits were used throughout the study. Fetal fibroblasts collected from 22-d of fetuses were cultured in DMEM ＋ 10% FBS in 5% $CO_2$ in air. The culture was maintained for 10 passages. In every passage half of cell suspension were kept In frozen. From rabbits treated with FSH in 30% PVP solution and hCG, oocytes were surgically collected from oviducts at 14 h post-hCG injection and stripped off their cumulus cells by re-pipetting in a 300 IU hyaluronidase solution. Oocytes with an extruded first polar body and dense cytoplasm were enucleated by micromanipulation in Ham's F-10 medium＋7.5 g/$m\ell$ cytochalasin B. Euncleation was confirmed under a fluorescence microscope after staining with 5 g/$m\ell$ bisbenzimide for 2 min. Each enucleated oocyte was injected with a fetal fibroblast into a perivitelline space. Reconstructed eggs were compared fusion rates either at 2.0 ㎸/cm or 1.6 ㎸/cm(60 sec, double pulses). After fusion, all eggs were activated with the combination of 5 M ionomycin (5 min) and 10 g/$m\ell$ cycloheximide (CHX, 3h), and cultured in CRlaa medium and transferred into TCM199＋10% FBS on day 3. Although there was not significantly differ in fusion rate between treatments (60%, 2.0 ㎸/cm vs. 79.4%, 1.6 ㎸/cm), none of them in the eggs fused with 2.0 ㎸/cm developed to blastocyst. In comparison of development and chromosome status between different activation treatments (Group 1; 5 M ionomycin/10 g/$m\ell$ CHX, Group 2; 5 M ionomycin/5 g/$m\ell$ CHX ＋ 2 mM DMAP after fusion with 1.6 ㎸/cm), there were not differ in cleavage and development rates (67.3% and 28.9% in Group 1; 67% and 33% in Group 2). All out of 8 embryos evaluated in Group 1 appeared a normal diploid chromosome sets and mean number of cells (Mean SEM) on day 4.5 of culture was 141.5 23.15 (n=8). It can be concluded that the use of cycloheximide has not happened in chromosome abnormalities, and fetal fibroblasts can be used for cloning in rabbit.

Recently, the transgenic animal production technique is very important for the production of bio-parmaceutical as animal bio-reactor system. However, the absence of survival evaluation in vitro produced transgenic embryos has been a problem of the low productivity of transgenic animal because of absent of pre-estimate of pregnancy after transgenic embryos transferred into recipient. Therefore, this study is conducted to improve efficiency of transgenic cattle production by improving the non-surgical embryo transfer (ET) method. Transgenic bovine embryos were produced by injection of feline immunodeficiency virus enhanced green fluorescent protein (FIV-EGFP) lentiviral vector into perivitelline space of in vitro matured MII stage oocytes, and then in vitro fertilization (IVF) was occured. Normal IVF and EGFP expressing blastocysts were transferred into recipients. Results indicated that 2 expanded blastocysts (34.7%) transferred group showed significantly (P<0.05) higher pregnancy rate than 1 expanded blastocyst (26.8%) transferred group. In case of parity of recipient, ET to heifer (34.9%) showed significantly (P<0.05) higher pregnancy rate than ET to multiparous recipient (21.2%). However, there are no significant differences of pregnancy rate between natural induced estrus and artificial induced estrus groups. Significantly (P<0.05) higher pregnancy rate was obtained from recipient group which have normal corpus luteum with crown group (34.8%) than normal corpus luteum without crown (13.6%). Additionally, treatment of $100{\mu}g$ Gn-RH injection to recipient group (38.6%) 1 day before ET significantly (P<0.05) increase pregnancy rate than non- Gn-RH injection to recipient group (38.6%). We also transferred 2 EGFP expressing expanded blastocysts to each 19 recipients, 7 recipients were pregnant and finally 5 EGFP transgenic cattle were produced under described ET condition. Therefore, our result suggested that transfer of 2 good-quality expanded blastocysts to $100{\mu}g$ of Gn-RH injected recipient which have normal corpus luteum with crown is feasible to produce transgenic cattle.

The purpose of this study is to improve production efficiency of vitrified-thawed transgenic bovine embryos. Transgenic bovine embryos were produced by injection of FIV-GFP lentiviral vector into perivitelline space of in vitro matured MII stage oocytes, and then in vitro fertilization. EGFP-expressing transgenic bovine blastocysts were cultured in serum-containing and serum-free medium. These blsatocysts were vitrified by pull and cut (PNC) container made with 0.25 cm plastic straw. Results indicate that total developmental rates of normal IVF embryo cultured in serum-containing and-free medium into blastocyst were not significantly different (22.3 vs 21.5%) and those of GFP-expressing transgenic bovine embryo into blastocyst showed no significant difference between serum-containing (13.9%) and-free medium (13.1%). However, developmental rate of GFP transgenic embryo was significantly (P<0.05) lower than its of normal IVF embryos. In additional study, we vitrified GFP transgenic normal bovine blastocysts using PNC vitrification method. Survival rate of vitrified-thawed GFP transgenic blastocyst (23.1%) was significantly (P<0.05) lower than its of normal blastocysts (68.9%). Although, survival rate of vitrified-thawed GFP transgenic blastocyst was lower than its of normal blastocyst, our result may suggested that PNC vitrification method is feasible to cryopreserve transgenic embryos. Our next plan will be the production of GFP express transgenic bovine derived from vitrified-thawed embryos using PNC method.

This study was conducted to investigate an effective recipient oocyte and culture system for producing of Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos. Hanwoo ear skin fibroblasts were used as donor cells. In vitro matured Hanwoo or Holstein oocytes were enucleated, and single donor cells were transferred into the perivitelline space of the enucleated oocytes. The couplets were subsequently fused and activated. The reconstructed embryos were cultured in a conventional or sequential culture system. In the former, embryos were cultured in CR2aa medium for eight days; in the latter, embryos were cultured in modified CR2aa-A (mCR2-A) for three days and then further cultured in modified CR2aa-B (mCR2-B) for five days. In the experiment with the recipient oocyte, the rate of embryo development to the blastocyst stage was significantly (p<0.05) higher in Hanwoo recipient oocytes than in Holstein ones (48.8% vs 38.9%). BIastocysts derived from Hanwoo recipient oocytes contained significantly (p<0.05) higher numbers of total cells than those derived from Holstein recipient oocytes ($156.0{\pm}68.2$ vs $134.7{\pm}54.8$). There was no difference in the mean proportion of apoptotic cells in blastocysts between the sources of recipient oocytes. In the experiment with the embryo culture system, the blastocyst rate was somewhat higher in sequential system than in conventional system (50.0% vs 43.5%), though there was no significant difference. The numbers of total ($160.0{\pm}69.0$ vs $156.7{\pm}68.4$) and apoptotic cells ($14.0{\pm}10.4$ vs $11.8{\pm}6.4$) were not different between the culture systems. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that Hanwoo recipient oocytes and the sequential culture system were more effective in supporting the production of Hanwoo SCNT embryos.

The present study was carried out to develop a cloning technology of mouse embryos by nuclear transplantation with electrofusion and to produce cloned offsprings by transfer of reconstituted embryos. A single nucleus from two- and eight-cell embryos was transplanted into the enucleated two-cell embryos by rnicromanipulation. The fusion of nucleus with recipient cytoplasm and the subsequent development of reconstituted embryos in vitro as well as in vivo to term were examined to determine the optimal electrofusion parameters for nuclear transplantation in mouse embryos. The successful enucleation of donor embryos was 84.9 and 83.3% in two- and eight-cell stage, respectively, and the successful injection of nucleus from two- and eight-cell donor embryos into the perivitelline space of enucleated two-cell embryos were 85.1 and 84.7%, respectively. No significant differences were found in enucleation or injection rate between the cell stages of donor embryos. When the blastomeres of intact two-cell mouse embryos were electrofused in 0.3 M mannitol medium(100 $\mu$sec., 3 pulses), the fusion rate was similarly 93.2, 92.2 and 92.0% in 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 kV /crn, respectively, but in vitro development to blastocyst of the fused two-cell embryos was significantly(P<0.05) lower in 2.0 kV/cm (63.4%) than in 1.0 kV/cm (91.7%) or 1.5 kV/cm (82.4%). The development in vitro to eight-cell stage of the reconstituted embryos with nucleus from two-cell stage(45.5%) was significantly(P<0.05) higher than that from eight-cell stage blastomeres (16.7%). The number of blastomeres of the intact embryos at blastocyst stage was 50i0.6 and 55$\pm$2.4 in in vitro and in vivo cultured mouse embryos, respectively, but significantly(P<0.05) decreased to 35$\pm$0.7 in nuclear transplanted blastocyst embryos. The conception rate of mice following embryo transfer was 32.1% in the reconstituted two-cell embryos using two-cell donor nuclei, which was comparable to the fresh two-cell embryos(40.6%). However, the rate of development in vivo to term following embryo transfer of the reconstituted two-cell embryos using two-cell donor nuclei (23.5%) was significantly(P<0.05) lower compared with the percentage of two-cell fresh embryos(31.5%).

본 연구는 핵이 제거된 소난자 내에 소의 태아 섬유아세포를 이식한 후 난자의 발달능력을 조사하였다. 소 태아 섬유아세포는 45일된 응성 태아로부터 분리한후 MitoTracker로 염색하고 세포 주기를 동기화시키지 않은 세포를 핵이 제거된 소난자의 위란강 내에 이식하였다. 섬유아세포와 소난자의 복합체는 전기 자극을 주어 융합시키는 방법을 이용하였으며, 융합된 난자는 Calcium ionophore와 6-DMAP를 이용하여 난활성을 유도시킨 다음 CR1aa 에서 배양하였다. 핵치환 된 난자의 핵은 핵질 응축과정, 팽대과정, 전핵 형성과정이 일어났으며, 이러한 과정에서 재구성된 난자는 분열 과정을 거쳐 18∼26시간 사이에는 2-세포기로 발달하였다. 섬유아세포의 미토콘드리아는 핵치환시 난자 내로 이전되었는데 이것들은 난자 내에서 빠르게 사라지는 것으로 관찰되었으며, 핵융합 후 8시간째에는 섬유아세포의 미토콘드리아가 전혀 관찰되지 않았다. 2-세포기로 분열된 난자의 21% 가 이식 가능한 단계인 배반포 단계까지 발달하였다. 이러한 결과는 소의 태아 섬유아세포가 탈핵된 소난자 내에서 성공적으로 재분화과정을 거치며, 이렇게 재조합 된 수정란은 배반포 단계까지 발달이 가능하다는 것을 보여주고 있다.
