摘要
Objective To analyze the blastocyst formation and chromosome statuses of reconstructed embryos derived from human-goat interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT), exploring the development retardant factors. Methods Human specific point probes cep2, cep6, tel2 and 13q14.2, 21q22.13 combining fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) technology were used to test trophectoderm cells of blastocyst and blastomeres of development arrest nuclear transfer (NT) embryos. Results A total of 209 reconstructed embryos were recovered, and the rate of blastocyst formation was 3.8% (8/209). FISH signals showed that chromosomal abnormalities were present in 2 blastocysts (2/8) and 146 development arrest embryos (146/201). Conclusion The rate of blastocyst formation is low, and reconstituted embryos of development arrest showed extensive chromosome abnormalities, suggesting that a chromosomal mechanism may underlie their developmental arrest.
