Blastocyst Rate

Although cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been achieved in various mammalian species, its efficiency has been very low (Han et al. 2003 Theriogenology 59, 33–44). Successful cloning requires conversion from differentiated donor nuclei to embryonic nuclei after transfer of the somatic nuclei into enucleated oocytes. Reprogramming of the transferred somatic nuclei must be completed by the time when normal activation of the embryonic genome occurs (Solter 2000 Nat. Rev. Genet. 1, 199–207). Recently, both full-term development and pre-implantation development of mouse SCNT embryos were significantly enhanced by treatment with trichostatin A (TSA), an inhibitor of histone deacetylase (Kishigami et al. 2006 Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 340, 183–189; Rybouchkin et al. 2006 Biol. Reprod. 74, 1083–1089). The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of TSA on the development of bovine SCNT embryos. Bovine fibroblasts were cultured under serum starvation (0.4% FCS) for 7 days and then used as donor cells. The cells were electro-fused with bovine enucleated matured oocytes, and activated with a calcium ionophore and cycloheximide. They were subsequently cultured in mSOF medium until 168 h post-activation (hpa). The NT embryos were exposed to 0 (control), 5, 50, and 500 nM TSA from the start of activation to 48 hpa. Experiments were repeated 3 times, and the data were analyzed with Fisher's PLSD test following ANOVA. The cleavage rates were the same among the groups (60 to 80%; P >0.05). However, the blastocyst rate of NT embryos treated with 50 nM TSA was higher than that of control embryos (40% vs. 19%, respectively; P < 0.05). On the other hand, the blastocyst rate was lower with 500 nM TSA than with 5 or 50 nM TSA (7% vs. 33% or 40%; P < 0.05). These data suggest that proper TSA treatment after somatic cloning improves the rate of development of bovine cloned embryos to the blastocyst stage. Further research is needed to examine whether NT embryos derived from different cell lines or types have similar susceptibility to TSA.

Cryopreservation of semen allows preservation of somatic cells, which can be used for the production of progeny through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). This approach could enable restoration of valuable high-genetic-merit progeny-tested bulls, which may be dead but the cryopreserved semen is available. We have successfully produced a live buffalo calf by SCNT using somatic cells isolated from >10 year old frozen semen (Selokar et al. 2014 PLoS One 9, e90755). However, the calf survived only for 12 h, which indicates faulty reprogramming of these cells. The present study was, therefore, carried out to study the effect of treatment with trichostatin A (TSA), an epigenetic modifier, on reprogramming of these cells. Production of cloned embryos and determination of quality and level of epigenetic markers in blastocysts were performed according to the methods described previously (Selokar et al. 2014 PLoS One 9, e90755). To examine the effects of TSA (0, 50, and 75 nM), 10 separate experiments were performed on 125, 175, and 207 reconstructed embryos, respectively. The percentage data were analysed using SYSTAT 12.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) after arcsine transformation. Differences between means were analysed by one-way ANOVA followed by Fisher's least significant difference test for significance at P < 0.05. When the reconstructed buffalo embryos produced by hand-made clones were treated with 0, 50, or 75 nM TSA post-electrofusion for 10 h, the cleavage percentage (100.0 ± 0, 94.5 ± 2.3, and 96.1 ± 1.2, respectively) and blastocyst percentage (50.6 ± 2.3, 48.4 ± 2.7, and 48.1 ± 2.6, respectively), total cell number (274.9 ± 17.4, 289.1 ± 30.1, and 317.0 ± 24.2, respectively), and apoptotic index (3.4 ± 0.9, 4.5 ± 1.4, and 5.6 ± 0.7, respectively) in Day 8 blastocysts were not significantly different among different groups. The TSA treatment increased (P < 0.05) the global level of H4K5ac but not that of H3K18a in embryos treated with 50 or 75 nM TSA compared with that in controls. In contrast, the level of H3K27me3 was significantly lower (P < 0.05) in cloned embryos treated with 75 nM TSA than in embryos treated with 50 nM TSA or controls. The ultimate test of the reprogramming potential of any donor cell type is its ability to produce live offspring. To examine the in vivo developmental potential of the 0, 50, or 75 nM TSA treated embryos, we transferred Day 8 blastocysts, 2 each to 5, 6, and 5 recipients, respectively, which resulted in 2 pregnancies from 75 nM TSA treated embryos. However, one pregnancy was aborted in the first trimester and the other in the third trimester. In conclusion, TSA treatment of reconstructed embryos produced from semen-derived somatic cells alters their epigenetic status but does not improve the live birth rate. We are currently optimizing an effective strategy to improve the cloning efficiency of semen-derived somatic cells.
