Activation with ionomycin followed by dehydroleucodine and cytochalasin b for the production of parthenogenetic and cloned bovine embryos
In this work, Dehydroleucodine [DhL] was evaluated as a chemical activator of bovine oocytes and somatic cell nuclear transfer [SCNT] reconstituted embryos. Oocytes were activated with 5 uM Ionomycin [Io] and exposed for 3h to 1 or 5 uM DhL alone [Io-Dhl1 or Io-DhL5] or combined with Cytochalasin B [Io-DhL1/CB; Io-DhL5/CB]. Control groups were Io [Io], Io followed by 1.9mM 6-Dimethylaminopurine [Io-6DMAP], and embryos produced by in vitro fertilization [IVF]. Pronuclear formation and development to blastocysts of activated oocytes were evaluated. Embryos obtained by the DhL concentration that induced the highest blastocyst rates [1 uM] were karyotyped. An additional treatment based in Io-DhL1 plus lengthened [6-h] exposure to CB [Io-DhL1/long CB] was included to improve the proportion of diploid blastomeres. Finally, DhL combined with CB was employed to assist cloning by intracytoplasmic injection of whole cumulus cells. Results showed that DhL induces a pronuclear formation dynamic that was more similar to IVF-produced embryos than DMAP. Development to blastocyst stage was higher after activation with 1 uM DhL than with 5 uM DhL, either for groups combined or not with CB [19.15; 21.74 vs. 6.82; 0 percent, respectively] [p less than 0.05]. Io-DhL1 and Io-DhL1/CB treatments induced blastocyst-cleaved embryo ratios not statistically different from those of Io-DMAP [35.85 percent] and IVF [33.33 percent] groups [p greater than 0.05]. Io-DhL1/long CB induced higher diploid blastomere rates than Io-Dhl1, Io-DhL1/CB and Io-DMAP [63.8 vs. 36.8; 40 and 31.6 percent, respectively] [p less than 0.05]. Moreover, all DhL treatments resulted in polyploidy rates that were lower than Io-DMAP [5.2, 12.0, 10.6, and 31.6 percent, respectively] [p less than 0.05]. Io-DhL1/CB and Io-DhL1/long CB induced cloned embryo blastocyst rates that were not significantly different from Io-DMAP [6.1, 9.4, and 18.3 percent, respectively] [p less than 0.05]. Our results indicate that Io-DhL1/long CB protocol could be useful for SCNT programs.
