This study determined the effects of postactivation treatment with demecolcine and/or 6-dimethylaminopurine (6-DMAP) on in vivo and in vitro developmental competence of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos in pigs. SCNT embryos were treated for 4 hours with 0.4 µg/mL demecolcine, 2 mM 6-DMAP, or both after electric activation, then transferred to surrogate pigs or cultured for 7 days. The formation rate of SCNT embryos with a single pronucleus was higher in combined treatment with demecolcine and 6-DMAP (95.2%) than treatment with demecolcine alone (87.1%). Blastocyst formation of SCNT embryos was significantly increased in combined treatment with demecolcine and 6-DMAP (48.7%) compared with demecolcine (22.2%) or 6-DMAP alone (37.3%). Fluctuation of maturation promoting factor activity showed different patterns among various postactivation treatments. Pregnancy was established in 1 of 5 surrogates after transfer of SCNT embryos that were treated with demecolcine and 6-DMAP. The pregnant surrogate delivered one healthy live piglet. The results of our study demonstrated that postactivation treatment with demecolcine and 6-DMAP together improved preimplantation development and supported normal in vivo development of SCNT pig embryos, probably influencing MPF activity and nuclear remodeling, including induction of single pronucleus formation after electric activation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell

D004624 Embryo Transfer The transfer of mammalian embryos from an in vivo or in vitro environment to a suitable host to improve pregnancy or gestational outcome in human or animal. In human fertility treatment programs, preimplantation embryos ranging from the 4-cell stage to the blastocyst stage are transferred to the uterine cavity between 3-5 days after FERTILIZATION IN VITRO.
