The main objective of this study was to compare pregnancy and calving rates following transfer of in-vitro-produced fresh river and F1 (river × swamp) buffalo embryos in recipients synchronised by Ovsynch protocol or following natural oestrus. River embryos were produced from cumulus–oocyte complexes (COCs) derived by ovum pick up (OPU) on 40 Murrah and Nili-Ravi donor buffaloes over a twice-weekly collection schedule for 120 single OPUs. F1 embryos were produced by fertilisation of swamp COCs recovered from abattoir ovaries coincubated with river sperm cells. Both groups of embryos were produced following the same protocol for in vitro production. With regard to the OPU source of COCs, 923 antral follicles were punctured and 647 COCs were recovered (70%). From 462 selected COCs for IVM, 257 (55.6%) cleaved zygotes were recorded leading to 93 blastocysts (20.1%). In total, 590 swamp COCs were aspirated from abattoir ovaries and 476 were selected for IVM leading to 270 (56.7%) cleaved zygotes and resulting in 137 blastocysts (28.8%). River and F1 embryos were transferred between Day 6 to 7 of in vitro development, corresponding to blastocyst–expanding blastocyst, into F1 recipients synchronised by Ovsynch and swamp buffaloes following natural oestrus, respectively, each of them receiving two embryos. According to palpation per rectum of the ovaries at the time of embryo transfer, 26 of the 47 (55.3%) F1 recipients synchronised by Ovsynch were considered suitable for transfer, resulting in seven pregnancies (26.9%) and four calvings (15.3%) owing to three abortions occurring between 2 and 3 months of pregnancy. In total, 29 swamp recipients following natural oestrus were judged suitable as recipients, resulting in 12 pregnancies (41.4%) and 10 calvings (34.5%) owing to two abortions at 2 and 3 months of gestation respectively. Pregnancy and calving rates following transfer of river and F1 embryos were similar. Likewise, weight at birth of calves derived from transfer of river and F1 embryos was not different: 30.5 ± 1.4 and 32.9 ± 2.4 respectively. Pregnancy and calving rates following AI in a group of river and swamp buffaloes considered for reference in this study were similar to recipients carrying in-vitro-produced embryos. Collectively, no apparent postnatal complications were recorded in resulting live calves.

SummaryThe aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) alginate culture systems on in vitro development of pre-antral caprine follicles. In addition, the influence of the reproductive age of the ovary donor on the in vitro culture success was investigated. Pre-antral follicles from pre-pubertal or adult goats were isolated and cultured directly on a plastic surface (2D) or encapsulated in an alginate-based matrix (3D). After 18 days, the oocytes underwent in vitro maturation (IVM) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) to produce embryos. The 3D system showed higher rates of follicle survival, lower rates of oocyte extrusion, and a greater number of recovered oocytes for IVM and IVF (P < 0.05). Only pre-antral follicles from adult animals produced MII oocytes and embryos. The estradiol concentrations increased from day 2 to day 12 of culture in all groups tested (P < 0.05). Conversely, progesterone concentrations were lower in 3D-cultured follicles than in 2D-cultured follicles, with differences on days 2 and 6 of culture (P < 0.05). We provide compelling evidence that a 2D or 3D alginate in vitro culture system offers a promising approach to achieving full in vitro development of caprine pre-antral follicles to produce mature oocytes that are capable of fertilization and viable embryos.

Pre-weaned porcine islets (PPIs) represent an unlimited source for islet transplantation but are functionally immature. We previously showed that necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) immediately after islet isolation enhanced the in vitro development of PPIs. Here, we examined the impact of Nec-1 on the in vivo function of PPIs after transplantation in diabetic mice. PPIs were isolated from pancreata of 8–15-day-old, pre-weaned pigs and cultured in media alone, or supplemented with Nec-1 (100 µM) on day 0 or on day 3 of culture (n = 5 for each group). On day 7, islet recovery, viability, oxygen consumption rate, insulin content, cellular composition, insulin secretion capacity, and transplant outcomes were evaluated. While islet viability and oxygen consumption rate remained high throughout 7-day tissue culture, Nec-1 supplementation on day 3 significantly improved islet recovery, insulin content, endocrine composition, GLUT2 expression, differentiation potential, proliferation capacity of endocrine cells, and insulin secretion. Adding Nec-1 on day 3 of tissue culture enhanced the islet recovery, proportion of delta cells, beta-cell differentiation and proliferation, and stimulation index. In vivo, this leads to shorter times to normoglycemia, better glycemic control, and higher circulating insulin. Our findings identify the novel time-dependent effects of Nec-1 supplementation on porcine islet quantity and quality prior to transplantation.
