The effect of timing of microinjection of DNA constructs on the efficiency of transgenic embryo production and improved efficiency and quality through combining EGFP as a reporter gene with nuclear transfer techniques were examined. From 12 to 24 h after insemination, constructs of pCXNeo-EGFP were microinjected into a pronucleus of bovine IVM-IVF zygotes. Due to the difficulty in visualizing pronuclei, the incidence of successful injection of linear DNA was higher when zygotes were injected between 20 and 24 h, as compared with an early period between 12 and 16 h after insemination. However, developmental competence of DNA-injected zygotes and the EGFP expression rate were not affected by the injection time. A majority of the embryos expressing EGFP signal were mosaic. Following nuclear transfer of blastomeres expressing EGFP, 4.5% of morulae that developed from the NT eggs had a strong EGFP signal in all live blastomeres. In other embryos, EGFP signal had been lost. When cells derived from the EGFP-positive NT morulae were subcultured, all the cells expressed strong EGFP signal at the second passage and demonstrated neomycin resistance. These results show that transient expression of nonintegrated EGFP appears frequently in EGFP-positive bovine embryos and that additional selection of EGFP-positive morulae after nuclear transfer of EGFP-positive blastomeres would facilitate selection of transgenic embryos.

Involvement of oviduct in sperm capacitation and oocyte development in pigs. 国際誌

An overview is presented on the structure and function of the pig oviduct in relation to sperm capacitation and oocyte development in vivo. In pigs, a functional sperm reservoir is established in the uterotubal junction-isthmus when sperm deposition occurs before ovulation. Capacitation is assumed to occur in this location, and spermatozoa progress towards the ampullary-isthmic junction at about the time of ovulation as a consequence of capacitation and hyperactivation. Preliminary data from our laboratory on viable spermatozoa retrieved from the sperm reservoir and the ampullary-isthmic junction of mated sows at pre- and periovulation oestrus showed that the largest subpopulation (60-90%) was of uncapacitated spermatozoa (using merocyanine-540), whereas 6-37% of the gated cells were capacitated spermatozoa. Incubation in a capacitation-inducing medium (bicarbonate-containing modified Brackett-Oliphant medium; mBO) for < 30 min effected capacitation readily, more markedly in ampullary-isthmic junction samples than in samples from the uterotubal junction, thereby indicating that uncapacitated spermatozoa responded to the addition of the effector bicarbonate at concentrations similar to those recorded in the periovulatory ampullary-isthmic junction in vivo. Addition of preovulatory isthmic oviductal fluid and hyaluronan under a similar incubation regimen maintained tubal sperm viability without obvious induction of capacitation. This finding indicates that, before ovulation, the intraluminal fluid of the sperm reservoir might delay sperm capacitation, perhaps because of its hyaluronan content. Evidence is presented that the sperm population in the oviduct undergoes capacitation under particular conditions in the upper tubal compartments. The diverse response of spermatozoa to capacitation stimuli helps to ensure full rates of fertilization in vivo. Data are also provided on the importance of final zona pellucida maturation in the pig oviduct to warrant proper zona pellucida reaction after sperm penetration, which would address in part the abnormal occurrence of polyspermy in in vitro fertilization of pigs.

Morphological changes in zona pellucidae (ZP) isolated from in vitro-matured (IVM) and ovulated porcine oocytes were compared before or after fertilization in vitro and in vivo, respectively, by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The ZP of some ovulated or IVM oocytes and in vivo- or in vitro-fertilized (IVF) zygotes were equally split into two halves while immersed in an enzyme-inhibitor solution, using a surgical blade. After washing, intact and ZP halves were fixed in 1% glutaraldehyde solution in 0.1 M cacodylate buffer, processed, and examined using SEM. The outer surface of ZP in ovulated oocytes had a mesh-like structure. The outer morphology in IVM oocytes was more smooth although the mesh-like structure was still visible at high magnification. In in vivo zygotes and IVM-IVF zygotes, this lysed, mesh-like structure was more obvious. The inner surface of ZP had some small depressions (orifices). The mean number of orifices per 100 mum(2) of ZP surface was larger in IVM oocytes as compared to ovulated ones. The number of orifices per 100 mum(2) decreased in IVM-IVF zygotes as compared to IVM oocytes; whereas, in vivo zygotes did not differ from ovulated oocytes. The mean diameter of intact ZP as well as their mean thickness was greater in ovulated oocytes than IVM oocytes. The mean thickness of the ZP was larger in ovulated oocytes than IVM ones. The ZP thickness was larger in zygotes than in in vivo oocytes, whereas that of IVM-IVF zygotes did not differ from that of IVM oocytes. These results indicate that the morphology of ZP and the ZP reaction at sperm penetration appears to be much different between IVM oocytes and ovulated ones.

Modulation of the function of boar spermatozoa via adenosine and fertilization promoting peptide receptors reduce the incidence of polyspermic penetration into porcine oocytes

Effects of adenosine and pGlu-Glu-ProNH(2) (FPP) on the function and in vitro penetration of boar spermatozoa were examined. First, the effects of dibutyryl cAMP or agonists and antagonists of adenosine receptors (inhibitory adenosine receptors, A1AdR; stimulatory adenosine receptors, A2AdR) on freshly ejaculated spermatozoa were determined by chlortetracycline fluorescence assessment. Capacitation of spermatozoa was stimulated when they were cultured in a medium with dibutyryl cAMP, adenosine, A2AdR agonist, and adenosine plus A1AdR antagonist (CPT). However, acrosome reaction was inhibited only by adenosine. A1AdR agonist did not affect intact spermatozoa. A2AdR antagonist (DMPX) neutralized all of the effects of adenosine. Second, interaction of adenosine and FPP was examined. Gln-FPP, a competitive inhibitor of FPP, and DMPX inhibited the effects of adenosine and FPP, and CPT neutralized the inhibitory effect of FPP on acrosome reaction. Last, the effects of adenosine, FPP, and caffeine on the rate of sperm penetration were examined using frozen-thawed spermatozoa. Adenosine, FPP, and caffeine significantly enhanced the rate of sperm penetration as compared with the case of no additions. Caffeine treatment resulted in a high rate of polyspermic fertilization. In contrast, adenosine and FPP treatments resulted in an increased proportion of normal fertilization in in vitro-matured oocytes, These results suggest that boar spermatozoa can be modulated by the adenylyl cyclase/cAMP pathway via A2AdR in intact cells to induce capacitation and A1AdR in capacitated cells to inhibit spontaneous acrosome loss and that FPP receptors interact with A2AdR in intact cells and with A1AdR in capacitated cells. Furthermore, adenosine and FPP seem to be useful in reducing the incidence of polyspermic penetration.

Both fertilization promoting peptide (FPP) and adenosine stimulate capacitation and inhibit spontaneous acrosome toss in epididymal mouse spermatozoa; these responses involve modulation of the adenylyl cyclase (AC)/cAMP signal transduction pathway. However, it was unclear whether these re sponses were restricted to the mouse or possibly common to many mammalian species. To address this question, the response of boar spermatozoa to FPP and/or adenosine was evaluated. FPP is found in nanomolar concentrations in seminal plasma of several mammals, but not the pig. When cultured in caffeine containing Medium 199 for 2 hr, chlortetracycline fluorescence evaluation indicated that neither FPP nor adenosine stimulated boar sperm capacitation per se but did inhibit spontaneous acrosome loss. However, in caffeine-free medium, FPP and adenosine both stimulated capacitation and inhibited spontaneous acrosome loss, suggesting that boar spermatozoa have receptors for both FPP and adenosine. Gln+FPP, a competitive inhibitor of FPP in mouse spermatozoa, has recently been shown to inhibit mouse sperm responses to adenosine as well, suggesting that FPP receptors and adenosine receptors interact in some way. Used with boar spermatozoa, Gln-FPP also significantly inhibited responses to both FPP and adenosine. These responses suggest that mechanisms whereby FPP and adenosine can regulate sperm function, via AC/cAMP, are of considerable physiological significance. Mouse, human, and now boar spermatozoa have been shown to respond to FPP, suggesting that these mechanisms may be common to many mammalian species. We also suggest that the effects of FPP and adenosine could also be exploited to maximize monospermic fertilization in porcine in vitro fertilization. (C) 2000 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Effect of sperm selection according to the degree of motility after insemination on in-vitro penetration was examined by using a new in-vitro fertilization system designated as a climbing-overa-wall (COW) IVF method. When the sperm penetration rate in the COW-IVF method was compared with a standard method at the same sperm concentration (5 X 10s cells/ml), the rates (95.1 ±1.9 and 98.2 ±1.0%, respectively) were similar, but the incidence of monospermic penetration was higher in the COW-IVF (25.5 ±4.5%) than the standard method (10.4 ±2.5%). When sperm concentration was changed from 0.5 × 105 to 10 × 105 cells/ml in the COW-IVF method, sperm penetration rate was higher at a higher concentration, whereas monospermic penetration rate was increased at a lower concentration. The proportion of monospermic oocytes in matured oocytes was similar among sperm concentrations, 0.5 × 105 to 5 × 105 cells/ml, at fertilization in the COW method. These results demonstrate that the COW-IVF method, selection according to the degree of sperm motility after insemination, can increase the normal penetration of frozen-thawed boar spermatozoa into IVM oocytes without any reduction in the sperm penetration rate.
