In Vitro Embryonic Development

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the follicular population from cull Nelore (Bos indicus) on the kinetics of in vitro embryonic development. At random stages of the oestrous cycle (Day –5), a total of 28 cull Nelore cows were synchronized with an intravaginal progesterone device associated with oestradiol benzoate (2.0 mg IM). At the same moment, a dose of prostaglandin F2α (2.0 mg im) was also administered to promote luteolysis and absence of corpus luteum (CL) at the time of ovum pick-up (OPU). Five days later (Day 0), all cows underwent an OPU session and the recovered oocytes were submitted to in vitro embryo production (IVEP). The same procedures were repeated 2 times at 30-day intervals (Day 25 and Day 55). Semen from a single batch of a previously tested bull was used for all IVEP. Blastocyst production and hatching were verified on Days 7, 8, and 9 of the IVEP. Data were analysed by the GLIMMIX procedure of SAS 9.3® (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). Data of the 3 OPU sessions were grouped and the cows were classified into 3 categories according to the follicular population: Low (19.7 ± 0.9 follicles, n = 27), Medium (33.5 ± 0.8 follicles, n = 29), and High (58.7 ± 3.2 follicles, n = 28). The Low category had a lower rate of viable oocytes [(number of viable oocytes/total number of oocytes) × 100; 62.0 v. 69.5%; P = 0.02] and cleavage rate [(number of cleaved/total number of oocytes) × 100; 55.9 v. 66.8%; P = 0.001] than the High category. The blastocyst formation rate [number of blastocysts/total number of oocytes) × 100] on Day 7 and Day 8 was lower for Low and Medium compared with the High category (Day 7: 26.1b v. 29.0b v. 35.1a %; P = 0.001; and Day 8: 29.2b v. 30.2b v. 34.7a %; P = 0.05). No differences were found in blastocysts rate on Day 9 among Low, Medium, and High categories (14.1 v. 15.9 v. 16.2%; P = 0.61). However, Low category had a lower percentage of hatched blastocysts [(number of hatched blastocysts/number of blastocysts) × 100] on Day 7 compared with High category (2.9 v. 12.0%; P = 0.01). These results reported that cull Nelore with High follicular population showed higher rates of embryo production and hatched blastocysts compared with cows with Low follicular population. We concluded that the kinetics of in vitro embryonic development was compromised in cull Nelore (Bos indicus) with low follicular population submitted to OPU-IVEP.

The efficiency of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in bovines is lower than in other species due, in part, to a lack of optimal conditions for its implementation; this has hindered the achievement of high rates of embryonic development and the birth of live offspring. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of pretreatment of bovine spermatozoa with NaOH and dithiothreitol (DTT) on the viability, plasma membrane integrity, DNA fragmentation and in vitro developmental potential of embryos generated by ICSI. Following pretreatment of spermatozoa with 5 mM DTT for 20 min and a low concentration of NaOH (1 mM for 60 min), there were fewer live and acrosome reacted spermatozoa (44% and 34%, respectively) than in the control group without treatment (82%). Spermatozoa subjected to higher alkali concentrations (10–50 mM) were mostly dead and reacted. However, pronuclear formation, cleavage, blastocyst rate and embryo quality did not differ between these pretreatment groups and the untreated control group. In conclusion, we have described, for the first time, the effects of NaOH treatment on bovine spermatozoa and subsequent in vitro embryonic development after ICSI, and have demonstrated that pretreatment of bovine spermatozoa with NaOH or DTT is not necessary for an appropriate in vitro embryo development in this species.

G9A-like protein (GLP) plays an important role in mouse early embryonic development. Glp-deficient embryos exhibit severe growth retardation and defects that lead to lethality at approximately Embryonic Day 9.5. In the present study we investigated the effect of microinjection of Glp-specific short interference (si) RNA into mouse zygotes on in vitro embryonic development. Knockdown of Glp induced abnormal embryonic development and reduced blastocyst formation. Expression of the pluripotency markers octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (Oct4), SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2 (Sox2) and Nanog was also significantly decreased in Glp-deficient embryos. The apoptotic index and expression of two pro-apoptotic genes, namely Caspase 3 and Caspase 9, were increased in Glp-deficient embryos. Moreover, methylation levels of dimethylated H3K9 (H3K9me2) were decreased in Glp-knockdown embryos. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggest that Glp deficiency suppresses H3K9me2 modification and hinders mouse embryo development in vitro.
