Abstract

This study was carried out to examine the effects of fertilization media and sperm concentration on in vitro fertilization (IVF) and development (IVD) of porcine oocytes matured in vitro. Cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were collected from antral follicles of porcine ovaries collected from abattoir, and were matured in vitro in modified NCSU-23 (mNCSU-23) supplemented with 10% porcine follicular fluid (pFF). After the fertilization by experimental scheme, putative embryos were developed in vitro in NCSU-23. The results are as follows. When the oocytes were fertilized in vitro in modified TBM or modified TLP-PVA by 1 ${\times}$10$^{5}$ sperm/$m\ell$, all of the fertilization parameters were not significantly different between two media. Subsequently, as these putative embryos were developed in vitro in NCSU-23, the percentage of oocytes cleaved and of blastocysts were not different between two media, either. When the oocytes were fertilized in vitro in mTBM by 5${\times}$10$^4$, 1${\times}$10$^{5}$ or 5${\times}$10$^{5}$ sperm/$m\ell$, all of the fertilization parameters were significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01) increased as sperm concentration was elevated. Subsequently, as these putative embryos were developed in vitro in NCSU-23, the percentage of oocytes cleaved and of blastocysts were significantly boosted (P<0.01) as sperm concentration at fertilization was elevated from 5${\times}$10$^4$ to 1${\times}$10$^{5}$ sperm/$m\ell$, but were not different between 1${\times}$10$^{5}$ and 5${\times}$10$^{5}$ sperm/$m\ell$.

본 연구는 mNCSU-23에서 체외성숙시킨 난자를 이용하여 돼지 체외수정시 적절한 배양액과 정자농도를 구명하고자 수행하였다. 정액은 액상정액을 이용하였고 체외수정배양액으로 mTBM과 mTLP-PVA, 정자농도는 운동정자수 5${\times}$$10^4$, 1${\times}$$10^{5}$ , 5${\times}$$10^{5}$ sperm/$m\ell$로 체외수정 한 다음 NCSU-23에서 체외발달을 유도한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 돼지 체외성숙란을 mTBM 또는 mTLP-PVA에서 운동정자수 1${\times}$$10^{5}$ sperm/$m\ell$로 체외수정시킨 다음 체외발달시킨 결과, 정자침투율, 웅성전핵형성율, 다정자수정발생율, 난분할율, 배반포 발달율 등 어느 것도 두 배양액간 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 2. 체외성숙란을 mTBM에서 운동정자수 5${\times}$$10^4$, 1${\times}$$10^{5}$ , 5${\times}$$10^{5}$ sperm/$m\ell$l로 체외수정시킨 다음 체외발달시킨 결과, 정자침투율, 웅성전 핵형성율, 다정자수정발생율 등은 모두 정자 농도간 유의적인 차이를 보였고(P<0.05), 난 분할율과 배 반포발달율은 5${\times}$$10^4$이 1${\times}$$10^{5}$ , 5${\times}$$10^{5}$ sperm/$m\ell$보다 유의 적으로 낮았으나(P<0.01), 1${\times}$$10^{5}$ 와 5${\times}$$10^{5}$ sperm/$m\ell$ 간에는 차이가 없었다. 따라서, 액상정액을 이용한 돼지 체외성숙란의 체외수정배양액으로 mTBM과 mTLP-PVA간 차이는 없으며, mTBM에서 체외수정시킬 때 정자농도는 운동정자수로 1${\times}$$10^{5}$ sperm/$m\ell$가 적절할 것으로 사료된다.
