This study was conducted to examine the protein kinase inhibitors, 6-dimethylaminopurine (DMAP) and cycloheximide (CHXM) on the development and chromosome constitution of porcine parthenogenetic embryos. In vitro matured oocytes were activated by electric stimuli (ES) or a combination of ES with culture in 2 mM DMAP or $10{\mu}g/ml$ CHXM for 4 hr. Activated oocytes were cultured in PZM-3 for 6 days. Some 1-cell embryos and blastocysts were fixed by air dry method to analyze the chromosome constitutions and/or total cell number. Blastocyst development of DMAP-treated group (26.7%) was significantly higher (p<0.05) than those of CHXM-treated and ES control groups. Ploidy in 1-cell stage embryos was not different among groups (77.3 to 81.0%), however, proportion of diploid chromosome constitutions was high in DMAP-treated group (61.9%, p<0.05). In the blastocyst stage, proportion of diploid chromosome plates was significantly high in DMAP-treated group (64.2%, p<0.05), and proportion of abnormal chromosome plates was higher in CHXM-treated group (36.6%, p<0.05) than DMAP-treated group (28.3%,). Proportion of embryos with abnormal chromosome constitutions was slightly increased by DMAP (40.0%) and CHXM (42.1%) treatment due to the increasing of mixoploid (47.4 and 52.0%). The present study shows that the DMAP treatment increase the development of porcine parthenotes. However, parthenogenetic activation by ES or combined treatment with ES and DMAP or CHXM detrimentally affects the chromosome constitutions of porcine parthenotes during early embryonic development, leads to increased abnormal ploidy in the blastocyst stage.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Developing a successful strategy to maximize the surface charge density is crucial to speed-up the commercialization success of triboelectric nanogenerator. Here, for the first time, the fabrication of positive triboelectric material to donate electrons efficiently to dielectrics is reported, by increasing the stretchability for the uniform contact and by introducing a functional group for the surface potential control. A highly stretchable and conductive film with Ag nanowires and PDMS was fabricated as a base material, in which the portion of nanowires exposed above the embedding surface should be accurately controlled. In specific, positively charged 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) coated Au nanoparticles, prepared by phase transfer method, are coated. The DMAP lowers the effective work function of the nanoparticles by a permanent dipole induced at the DMAP-Au interface and enhances the electron transfer to the dielectrics, confirmed by the Kelvin probe force microscope measurement. The designed nanogenerator gives an output performance up to 80V and 86μA, and 2.5mW in output power, 2.5 times enhancement compared with the conventional TENG. With the integration with AC to DC converting circuit and buck-boost circuit, the nanogenerator produces a constant voltage of 2.6V. The wireless sensing system, which operates the remote controller, were also demonstrated, turning on a siren.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> A positive triboelectric material to donate electrons efficiently to dielectrics is developed. </LI> <LI> The keynote is to increase the stretchability and to introduce a functional group. </LI> <LI> It was proven to be effective for the uniform contact and surface potential control. </LI> <LI> The TENG gave an output performance up to 80 V and 86 μA, and 2.5 mW in output power. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

Ionomycin과 6-Dimethylaminopurine(6-DMAP)처리로 활성화된 토끼 난자의 단위발생

윤희준,이효종,최상용,박충생 한국동물번식학회 1998 Reproductive & developmental biology Vol.22 No.3

This study was carried out to determine the effects of ionomycin and 6-dimethylaminopurine (6-DMAP) treatments on parthenogenesis of rabbit oocytes. The oocytes were randomly assigned to the activation treatments with either ionomycin plus 6-DMAP or electric stimulation. The oocytes were colected from the oviducts of superovulated rabbits at 13~14 hours and 19~20 hours post hCG injection and were activated with 5$\mu$M ionomycin for 5 min and 2 hours incubation in 2mM 6-DMAP. The other oocytes were stimulated by three pulses of 3.6kV/cm for 60 $\mu$sec each 30 min apart, starting 19 hours post in hCG in 0.28M mannitol solution with 100$\mu$M Ca2+ and Mg2+. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. Following treatment of the oocytes with ionomycin plus 6-DMAP, the cleavage rate and in vitro developmental rate to blastocyst were significantly(P<0.01) higher in the oocytes collected bet ween 19~20 hours than between 13~14 hours after hCG injection. 2. When the oocytes were treated with ionomycin plus 6-DMAP, 85(98.8%) of 86 treated oocytes extruded the second polar bodies, with the entire chromatin complements outside ooplasm. However when the oocytes were restored during subsequent incubation in the drug-free medium, the cytoplasts regain their full capacity for parthenogenetic activation and nuclear remodelling. 3. The cleavage rate and the in vitro developmental rate to blastocyst were not significantly different in the oocytes activated by ionomycin plus 6-DMAP treatment(91.2 and 45.6%) or electrical stimulation(89.6 and 34.3%).

본 연구는 동물복제 및 형질전환 동물생산 등의 연구에 기초자료를 제공하고자 재래산양의 oocyte를 단위발생을 유도하여 회수난자의 조건, 활성화방법, 배양조건 등이 단위발생란의 체외발달율에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 재래산 양의 최적의 배양조건을 확립하고자 실시하였다. 난자의 회수는 체중 15~25 Kg 전 ㆍ 후의 성숙한 미경산 재래산양에 FSH와 PMSG 를 사용하여 과배란을 유기하여 hCG 투여 후 제 35시간째에 외과적인 방법으로 in vivo (체내성숙) 난자는 난관을 관류하는 방법으로 회수하였고, in vitro (체외성숙) 난자는 난포로부터 흡입하여 난포란을 채취하여 약 22시간 체외성숙을 실시하였다. 활성화 처리는 전기자극법과 Ionomycin + 6-DMAP를 처리하여 단위발생을 유도하였다. 복제수정란의 배양은 M16, TCM-199 및 mSOF 배양액으로 6~7일 동안 체외배양을 실시하였다. 활성화를 유도하기 위하여 전기자극 및 ionomycin + 6-DMAP 처리를 하였을 때 분할율은 각각 64.1 및 76.5%로서 이들간에 차이는 없었다. 배반포기로의 발달율은 전기자극방법으로는 전혀 발달이 이루어지지 않았으나, ionomycin +6-DMAP 처리방법에서는 15.6%가 배반포로 발달하였다. In vivo 난자와 in vitro 난자를 활성화를 유도하였을 때 분할율은 86.8 및 69.0%로서 이들간에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 4-세포기(93.9% vs 66.1%), 8-세포기(90.9% vs 37.0%) 및 상실배기(89.4% vs 23.6%)는 이들간에 유의적(P<0.05)인 차이가 있었으며, 배반포기로의 발달율은 체내성숙난자가 50.0%로서 체외성숙난자의 0.8%보다는 유의적으로 높았다. 활성화를 유도한 난자를 mSOF 배양액으로 체외배양을 실시하였을 때 분할율은 81.0%로서 TCM-199 +oviduct cell 의 64.3% 및 Ml6 배양액의 51.6%보다는 높게 나타났다. 배반포기로의 발달율은 mSOF 배양액에서는 3.4%가 발달하였으나, TCM-199+ oviduct cell 배양액과 M16 배양액에서는 전혀 발달이 이루어지지 않았다. 이상의 결과는 포유동물 난자의 단위발생의 유도 및 체외배양시 난자의 공급원, 난자의 활성화 방법 및 배양조건 등이 차후 단위발생란의 체외발생율에 크게 영향을 미칠 수 있는 근거를 제시해 준다. This study was conducted to examine whether activation treatments, source of oocytes and culture conditions affect in vitro developmental ability of caprine oocytes. Mature Korean native goats were pretreated with intravaginal CIDR for 10 days. The goats were then treated with a single intramuscular injection of 1,000 IU PMSG on Day 8 or twice daily injection of a total of 70 mg FSH for 3 days from Day 8 of CIDR insertion for superovulation. All the goats were injected with 10 mg PGF/sub 2a/ on Day 8 and 400 IU hCG on Day 10 of CIDR. Oocytes were surgically collected by oviduct flushing(in vivo maturation) or direct follicle aspiration(in vitro maturation) through mid-ventral incision at 35 h after hCG injection. Fifteen to twenty oocytes were placed in TCM-199 medium containing 25 mM Hepes and hormones under mineral oil at 39℃ in a humudified atmosphere of 5% CO₂ in air for 22 to 24 h. After maturation, the oocytes were activated by electric stimulation or ionomycin + 6-DMAP. The activated oocytes were then cultured in M16, TCM-199 and mSOF media supplemented with proteins at 39℃ for 6 to 7 days. Activation treatments did not affect cleavage of the oocytes. The cleavage rates were 64.1% (41/64) in oocytes activated by electric stimulation and 76.5% (218/285) in oocytes activated by ionomycin + 6-DMAP. The proportion of development to blastocyst was 15.6% (34/218) in oocytes activated by ionomycin + 6-DMAP, but activation by electric stimulation did not support embryos developed beyond morula stage. There were no differences in the cleavage rates of activated oocytes experiencing in vivo (86.8%, 66/76) and in vitro maturation (69.0%, 127/184). However, the development rate to blastocyst stage was significantly (P<0.05) higher for oocytes matured in vivo (50.0%, 33/66) compared to in vitro (0.8%, 1/127). Culture conditions did not affect the cleavage of -activated oocytes. The cleavage rates were 51.6% (49/95) in M16, 64.3% (18/28) in TCM-199 and 81.0% (145/179) in mSOF, respectively. By contrast, the development rate of activated oocytes to stage was greater (P<0.05) for oocytes cultured in mSOF medium (23.4%, 34/145) than in M16 or TCM-199 (0.0%). Our results suggest that source of oocytes and culture conditions are major factors affecting in vitro development of caprine parthenogenetic oocytes.

This study was carried out to investigate the optimal activation condition for parthenogenetic development. In order to activate oocytes at 24 hrs post onset of maturation, the oocytes were cultured $3{\sim}13{\mu}M\;Ca^{2+}$ for 5 min., $5-8{\mu}g/ml$ cytoclacin for 6 hrs, 0.5~2.0 mM 6-dimethylaminopurine(DMAP) for 3 hrs alone or combination. The activated oocytes were cultured in TCM-199 media at 5% $CO_2$, 95% air, $38^{\circ}C$. The cleavage rate after 48 hrs culture of oocytes treated with $3-13{\mu}M\;Ca^{2+}$, $5-8{\mu}g/ml$ cytoclacin and 0.5~2.0 mM DMAP for 5 min., 6 hrs and 3 hrs were 9.6%~20.0%, 0.0%~7.3% and 9.4%~21.8%, 0.0%~7.3% and 9.1%~21.8% and 0.0%~7.3%, respectively. When oocyte were treated with $10{\mu}M\;Ca^{2+}$, $10{\mu}g/ml$ cytoclacin and 2.0 mM DMAP the blastocyst formation rate was significantly higher than other group. The cleavage rate after 48 hrs culture of oocytes treated with $Ca^{2+}$ + cytoclacin, $Ca^{2+}$ + DMAP, cytoclacin + DMAP were 75.9%~93.5% and 9.7%~19.0%, respectively. When oocytes were treated with $Ca^{2+}$ followed by DMAP, the blastocyst formation rate was significantly higher than other group(p<0.05). When necleus transferred embryos co-cultured with bovine serum albumin(BSA), epithemal growth factor(EGF) and calf serum(CS), the developmental rate to blastocyst were higher than control group.

활성화를 통한 수핵란의 대량확보를 위해 44시간동안 체외 성숙된 돼지 난자를 ethanol, Ca/sup 2+/-ionophore, 6-DMAP 및 cycloheximide의 화학물질들을 사용하여 단위발생을 유기한 후 그들의 가장적합한 처리농도 및 노출 시간을 규명하였다. 1. Ethanol은 10%, 10분 처리가 전핵형성율, 난할율 및 배발달율에 있어 각각 약 53.4%, 51.6%, 그리고 39.9%로 가장 적합한 조건으로 판명되었다. 2. Ca/sup 2+/-ionophore 가장 적합한 난활성화 조건은 25μM에서 2분간 처리한 것이며, 전핵형성율, 난할율 및 배발달율은 각각 약 59.7%, 62.2%, 그리고 43.9%를 보였다. 3. 6-DMAP를 처리하여 돼지 난자의 활성화를 유기하였을 경우 2mM의 농도에서 각각 약 57.3%, 58.4% 및 29.0%의 전핵형성율, 난할율, 그리고 배발달율을 보여 가장 적합한 조건을 보였으며 2시간∼4.5시간 사이의 노출에는 영향을 받지 않았다. 4. Cycloheximide는 5㎍/ml의 농도가 전핵형성율 2.1%, 난할율 47.7%, 배발달율 31.8%로 가장 은 효율을 보였고, 노출시간에서는 4시간∼6시간 동안 처리하였을 때 60.5∼65.8%, 63.6∼66.7% 및 39.0∼39.5%로 가장 적합한 조건으로 판명되었다. 이상의 결과들은 돼지 체외 성숙 난자의 활성화에 있어 각 화학물질들의 적합한 조건을 바탕으로한 중복처리 및 병용처리 조건 확립 및 효율적인 수핵란의 확보에 기여할 수 있을 것이다. This study was conducted to investigate the optimal condition for produce of large quantity recipient oocytes on porcine cloned embryos. In order to determined the optimum concentration and exposure time of ethanol, Ca/sup 2+/-ionophore, 6-DMAP and cycloheximide, in vitro matured oocytes were activated in TCM-199 containing various chemicals and 15% FBS. The activated oocytes were cultured in Whitten''''s medium containing 10% FBS at 5% CO₂. 1. When the porcine oocytes were activated with the ethanol, the best pronucleus formation, cleavage, and in vitro development rate were obtained in the 10% for 10 minutes, which was significantly higher than all of the other treatment(53.4%, 51.6% and 39.9%, respectively). 2. When the porcine oocytes were activated with the Ca/sup 2+/-ionophore, the pronucleus furmation, cleavage, and in vitro development rate were found significantly higher in the 25μM fur 2min. treatment than those of other concentration and exposure time(59.7%, 62.2% and 43.9%, respectively). 3. When the porcine oocytes were activated with the 6-DMAP, the best pronucleus formation, cleavage, and in vitro development rate were obtained in the 2mM for 2hr∼4.5hr(57.3%, 58.4% and 29.0%, respectively). 4. When the porcine oocytes were activated with the cycloheximide, result showed that pronucleus formation, cleavage, and in vifro development rate were 52.1%, 47.7% and 31.8%, respectively, in the 5㎍/ml for 4hr∼6hr treatmrent, which was significantly higher than all of the other treatment. These results suggested that the active condition of porcine oocytes was established by optimum concentration and exposure time among different chemicals for produce of large quantity recipient oocytes.
