We have established a model that shows cooperative interaction among preimplantation embryos and the role of growth factors on their development and growth. Two-cell mouse embryos cultured singly in 25-microliters microdrops had inferior development to blastocysts and lower cell numbers per blastocyst compared with those cultured in groups of 5 or 10. The inferior development of singly cultured...
We assessed the developmental ability of embryos cloned from porcine neural stem cells, amniotic fluid-derived stem cells, fetal fibroblast cells, adult fibroblast and mammary gland epithelial cells. The five cell lines were transfected with enhanced green fluorescence protein gene respectively using lipofection. Neural stem and amniotic fluid-derived stem cells were induced to differentiate in...
BACKGROUND In preimplantation mammalian development the transcription factor Sox2 (SRY-related HMG-box gene 2) forms a complex with Oct4 and functions in maintenance of self-renewal of the pluripotent inner cell mass (ICM). Previously it was shown that Sox2-/- embryos die soon after implantation. However, maternal Sox2 transcripts may mask an earlier phenotype. We investigated whether Sox2 is i...
The aim of our study was to test the influence of short exposure (6 h) of preimplantation rabbit embryos to elevated temperatures (41.5 degrees C or 42.5 degrees C) in vitro on their developmental capacity. Fertilized eggs recovered from female oviducts at the pronuclear stage (19 hpc) were cultured at standard temperature (37.5 degrees C) until the morula stage (72 hpc). Afterwards, the embryo...
In vitro-fertilized bovine embryos were incubated in Menezo's B2 medium (MB2) supplemented with 2 mg/mL of BSA. In Exp. 1, eight-cell stage embryos were allotted to one of the following groups: control medium (MB2), MB2 with 20 ng/mL of platelet-activating factor (PAF), 1 x 10(7) bovine blood platelets (Platelets), oviductal cells (BOEC), BOEC and 20 ng/mL of PAF (BOEC+PAF), or BOEC and 1 x 10(...
In mice, one of the major epigenetic errors associated with somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is ectopic expression of Xist during the preimplantation period in both sexes. We found that this aberrant Xist expression could be impeded by deletion of Xist from the putative active X chromosome in donor cells. In male clones, it was also found that prior injection of Xist-specific siRNA could si...
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of cell status of BOEC on development of bovine IVM/IVF embryos and gene expression in BOEC before or after culturing of embryos. The developmental rates beyond morula stage in the BOEC co-culture group was significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.05). In particular, blastocyst production in the BOEC co-culture group (28.3%) ...
X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) is an epigenetic mechanism that occurs in the eutherian embryo development to equalize the dosage of X-linked genes between males and females. This event is regulated by various factors, and the genes located in the X-chromosome inactivation center (XIC), which is known to be an evolutionary conserved region, are associated with XCI; however, a number of studies ...

Improvements on embryo micromanipulation techniques led to the use of embryo biopsy in commercial embryo transfer programs for genetic analysis of preimplantation bovine embryos. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of bovine blastocyst derived from embryos biopsied at different pre-compacted morulae stages by assessment of cryosurvivability of the resulting blastocysts. The in vit...
