With the object of establishing an effective culture system for isolation and clone of bovine pluripotent stem cell, we cultured bovine embryos and mouse embryos including morula blastula and hatached blastula and obtained animal ICM on Primary murine embryonic fibroblast (Primary murine embryonic fibroblast, PMEF) feeder layer with tissue medium(DMEM supplemented with 15ml/100ml NBS,0.1μmol/L Na2SeO3, 0.1mmol/L p-mercaptoethanol, 1000ng/ml LIF, 10 ng/ml IGF, 1mmol/L necessary amino acid and 1mmol/L L-glutamine),then,we obtained mouse ICM and bovine ICM. Moreover, we isolated and cloned the 6 passage bovine ES like cells(12 cell lines) and 9 passage murine ES like cells (52 cell lines) deriving from bovine ICM and murine ICM respectively on the feeder layer of PMEF by disaggregating ICM and ES cell clones of bovine and murine into smaller clumps through digesting with 0.125g/100ml trypsin and 0.02g/100ml EDTA and scattering with a glass needle. The pluripotency of both murine and bovine ES like cells was identified with morphological character, histochemistry identification , karyotype analysis and differentiation of ES cells in vitro or in vivo. This result showed that bovine embryonic stem cell and murine embryonic stem cell had developmental pluripotency.展开更多

The results showed as follows: With embryos having attached, bovine embryonic trophoblast formed a transparent membranous structure covering on inner cell mass (ICM), however, murine embryonic trophoblast formed disc structure.

In addition. most of the previous studies did not exclude the effect of embryo aneuploidy on blastocysts transfer. Thus, the present study investigated the predictive value of various parameters on the pregnancy outcomes achieved via the transfer of frozcn euploid blastocysts. Methods： The study retrospectively analyzed 914 single euploid blastocyst transfer cycles that were performed at the Peking U laivcrsity Third Hospital Reproductive Medical Center between June 2011 and May 2016. The expansion, trophectoderm （TE）. and inner cell mass （ICM） quality of the blastocysts were assessed based on blastocyst parameters, and used to differentiate between ＂excellent＂, ＂good＂, ＂average＂, and ＂poor＂-quality embryos. The relationship between these embryo grades and the achieved pregnancy outcomes was then analyzed via the Chi-square and logistic regression tests. Results： For embryo grades of excellent, good, average and poor, the clinical pregnancy rates were 65.0%. 50.3%, 50.3% and 33.3%. respectively; and the live-birth rates were 50.0%, 49.7%, 42.3% and 25.0%, respectively. Both the clinical pregnancy ratc （x2= 21.28. P = 0.001） and live-birth rate （x2 = 13.50, P 〈 0.001） increased with the overall blastocyst grade. Both rates were significanlly higher after the transfer era blastocyst that exhibited either an A-grade or B-grade TE, and similarly, an A-grade ICM. than after the transfer el a blastocyst that exhibited a C-grade TE and/or ICM. The degree of blastocysl expansion had no apparent effect on the clinical pregnancy or live-birth rate. All odds ratio were adjusted for patient age, body mass index, length （years） of infertility history, and infertility type. Conclusions： A higher overall euploid blastocyst quality is shown to correlate most strongly with optimal pregnancy outcomes. The study thus supports the use of the described TE and ICM morphological grades to augment current embryo selection criteria.展开更多

A total of 192 intra-strain reconstituted blastocysts were transferred into 17pseudopregnant Kunming mice, and 2 reconstituted embryos were developed into term; while 115 inter-strain reconstituted blastocysts were produced, analysis of thereconstituted blastocysts showed that the morphology andcytoskeleton srtucture of the blastocysts were not differentfrom those of normal blastocysts, however, no viableoffspring was obtained after embryo transfer for these inter-strain reconstituted blastocysts. The resultsdemonstrated that the intra-strain reconstituted blastocystscould normally develop into term, whereas the inter-strain reconstituted blastocysts possessed less developmental potential as the intra-strain reconstituted blastocysts. Thisstudy may give light to solve the problem of low implantation rate and placenta abnormality in mammal cloning.展开更多
