In a large-scale bovine cloning program intended to obtain transgenic animals, it is important to maximize the number of calves produced. The present experiment was designed to test the hypothesis that different transfection events of the same somatic cell line can affect embryo and/or fetal survival. A fetal cell line was established from a 75-day-old Jersey female fetus. It was used as control and was also transfected 3 times with the same protocol. They were named Transfection 1, 2, and 3. Genetically modified cells were produced and isolated after selection with geneticin for 10–15 days following liposome transfection with a DNA construct containing a selectable neomycin resistance gene. Oocytes were aspirated from slaughterhouse ovaries and matured in TCM-199 + 5% FCS at 39°C for 24 h. Matured oocytes were denuded by vortexing for 3 min in TL-HEPES with 1 mg mL−1 bovine testis hyaluronidase. Metaphases were assessed, and oocytes were enucleated by visualization with Hoechst 33342 (5 µg mL−1) under UV light (<6 s). Donor cells from different treatments were used for nuclear transfer at G0/G1 cell cycle stages and were fused to enucleated oocytes by an electrical pulse. After 3 h, activation was induced by incubation in TL-HEPES with 5 µM ionomycin for 4 min and 2 mM 6-DMAP for 3 h. The oocytes were then washed with TL-HEPES and cultured in SOF medium with an atmosphere of 5% CO2 + 5% O2 + 90% N2. Development to blastocysts (Days 7 to 9) was recorded. Two blastocysts were transferred nonsurgically per recipient cow, and pregnancies at 30 days were determined by ultrasonography. All data were analyzed by chi-square test. In vitro development to blastocysts was similar in all treatment groups. One birth was obtained from the control. Four and 7 births were obtained from Transfections 1 and 3, respectively. Although Transfection 2 had good in vitro development, this treatment did not produce any pregnancy. This fact demonstrated that the transfection event provides an additional source of variability in obtaining live transgenic animals. Our results pointed out the necessity to monitor fetal survival by ultrasonography in order to detect as soon as possible any deficiencies in development introduced by transfection.

So far, most calves have been cloned from live adult cows or fresh fetal samples. There are few reports on using cells from a dead mammal for nuclear transfer (NT). This study was conducted to investigate whether different kind of viable cells could be obtained from tissues stored in cold for different duration and whether these cells could be used for NT. Bovine oocytes isolated from slaughterhouse ovaries were matured in TCM199 supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS), 50μgmL−1 sodium pyruvate, 1% v:v penicillin-streptomycin (10.000UmL−1 penicillin G, 10.000μgmL−1 streptomycin), 10ngmL−1 EGF, 0.5μgmL−1 FSH, and 5μgmL−1LH. First cell line (CC) was established from articular cartilage of the leg of a slaughtered cow stored at 0°C in a cold storage room for 48h. Second cell line (MC) was established from leg muscle of a cow carcass stored at 0°C for 24h. Tissues from articular cartilage and muscle were cut into small pieces. Tissue explants were cultured in DMEM-F12 supplemented with 10% FBS at 37°C in 5% CO2 in air. Bovine granulosa cells (GC) were isolated from ovarian follicles and used for NT as control cells. Prior to NT, all somatic cells were allowed to grow to confluency (G1/G0) in DMEM-F12 supplemented with 10% FBS. Cumulus cells were removed by vortexing with hyaluronidase at 18h after the start of maturation. Matured oocytes labeled with DNA fluorochrome Hoechst 33342 were enucleated under UV to ensure full removal of the chromatin. A single cell was inserted into the perivitelline space of the enucleated oocyte. Oocyte-cell couples were fused by a DC pulse of 133V/500μm for 25μs. After fusion, NT units were activated using a combination of calcium ionophore (5μM), cytochalasin D (2.5μgmL−1), and cycloheximide (10μgmL−1), and cultured for 7 days. Differences among groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA after arcsin square transformation. The results are summarized in Table 1. The results suggest that viable cells can be obtained from articular cartilage and muscle of a cow carcass stored at cold temperature for 24 and 48h and these cells have ability to generate NT blastocysts at rates similar to that of the controls. This study was supported by a grant from TUBITAK, Turkey (VHAG-1908-102V048). F Ergin is a volunteer young researcher. Table 1 In vitro development of NT embroys from different cell lines
