Description

Bovine embryo segmentation method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of animal breeding, relates to a technology for agricultural-livestock veterinary breeding, in particular to a method for dividing bovine in-vitro embryos, and further relates to application of a test solution used for dividing bovine embryos in bovine embryo division. The method for dividing the bovine embryo has excellent technical effects. In particular, the invention relates to a technique for segmenting embryos obtained after in vitro fertilization of bovine oocytes obtained by ex vivo collection.
Background
With the development of modern agriculture technology, in order to make full use of the reproductive potential of improved cows, the genetic breeding process is accelerated, and the application of efficient new reproductive technology in production practice becomes necessary.
Living egg collection (Ovum pick UP, OPU) and in vitro fertilization (In Vitro Fertilization, IVF) are new embryo engineering technologies which are rapidly developed in the eighties of the twentieth century, and a large number of embryos with definite genetic genealogy can be obtained by combining the two technologies, so that the generation interval is shortened. Currently, these two techniques have become important breeding techniques for growing groups of fine breed cows for farmers in developed countries such as europe, america and oceans. In addition, embryo segmentation techniques, which are extended based on in vivo spawning and in vitro fertilization techniques, are powerful tools for accelerating the genetic breeding process.
Embryo segmentation techniques are described in detail in Liu Yonghua (Liu Yonghua, et al, progress in mammalian embryo segmentation techniques research, chinese livestock veterinarian, 2007, 34 (3): 52), the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Specifically, embryo segmentation refers to taking out a mammalian embryo from a uterus or a fallopian tube by a surgical or non-surgical method, artificially dividing the embryo into 2 or more parts by a mechanical or chemical method, and culturing each of the divided parts in vitro under a proper condition, transplanting the cultured parts back to a recipient uterus or fallopian tube (or directly transplanting the cultured parts) to obtain 2 or more offspring with consistent genotypes and phenotypes from 1 embryo. The embryo segmentation technology can be used for amplifying the number of available excellent embryos and producing cloned animals with double embryos and multiple embryos in the same egg, can be used for protecting endangered animals, and can also provide a biopsy method for early embryo genetic disease detection, sex identification and other technologies. The mammalian embryo segmentation technique began with the isolation and culture study of the rat 2-cell embryo blastomeres by Nicholas (1942). Tarkowski (1959) found that half of the blastomeres of the 2-cell mouse embryos had been destroyed were able to develop into blastocysts and mice were developed, after which he studied the development laws of the 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 blastomeres of mice, which showed that: each blastomere of the early embryo has developmental totipotency, namely, can develop into a normal individual, and living animals of the first half embryo source in the world are obtained through embryo segmentation. Mullen et al (1970) isolated 2 blastocysts of a mouse 2-cell embryo, cultured and transplanted to recipients, resulting in a first artificial twins of mammals. Thereafter, animal embryo segmentation techniques have rapidly evolved and reached a climax in the middle and late 80 s of the 20 th century. Willadsen (1979) initially uses a microsurgery method to divide sheep 2-cell embryo and morula into two or four respectively, then uses agar to embed the split balls, cultures for 3-5 d in ovine oviduct, takes out, and then strips and transplants the embryo to a receptor to obtain syngeneic twin and syngeneic tetrad. However, the method has a plurality of intermediate links, is complex to operate and is difficult to apply and popularize in production. In 1981, he removed the zona pellucida of sheep 4-cell stage embryos, separated 4 split spheres, and transplanted to recipients to obtain four lambs in common eggs and three lambs in common eggs. In the same year, willadsen, in cooperation with Ploge, divided 8-cell stage bovine embryos into 4 1/4 embryos and obtained a pair of co-oval twin and single embryo. Willadsen (1980) first combined embryo segmentation with embryo ultralow temperature freezing, and used sheep to cryopreserve half-embryos to obtain 3 live lambs. In 1984 he improved the method to divide more advanced embryos (morula or blastocyst) and the divided embryos could be transferred directly without culturing, thus having great practical value. Gyu-Jin (1998) also utilized oocyte in vitro maturation and in vitro fertilization to obtain bovine embryos, and transferred 12 quadrotola embryos to 6 recipients to obtain calves with 2 quadrotola embryos. This opens up new research and application fields for embryo segmentation technology.
The embryo of mammal can be divided from 2-cell stage to blastula stage and offspring can be produced, and the embryo dividing method is mainly different according to embryo development stage. In the 2-8 cell phase, embryo segmentation (blastomere separation) is mainly mechanical and chemical-assisted mechanical methods. Morula and blastocyst segmentation are the main execution phases of embryo segmentation of mammals, and in this phase, a Willadsen segmentation method, a Williams segmentation method, a TSuzuki segmentation method, a micropipette separation method, an enzyme-softened zona pellucida microscopic glass needle segmentation method, a freehand segmentation method and the like are typical.
Zheng Haiying (Zheng Haiying, et al, influence of different partitioning solutions on the embryo partitioning effect of buffalo, livestock and veterinary, 2009, 41 (7): 32) describes methods for partitioning bovine embryos, however these methods still have certain limitations.
Efficient embryo segmentation from morula is still highly desirable to those skilled in the art.

Embryo segmentation (Embryo) is a new biological technique for obtaining the same-egg twin or multiple Embryo by dividing the early Embryo into two, four and other equal parts by means of micromanipulation technique or freehand operation method and then transplanting the equal parts to the recipient female animal.
In 1890, heape reported for the first time that rabbit embryo transfer was successful at Cambridge university, UK, and embryo transfer technology has been studied for over 100 years. Embryo transfer has been increasingly studied in the 30 s of the 20 th century, and has been successful in various domestic animals, mainly sheep, goats, pigs, cows and horses. The first international embryo transfer society was held in Colorado, USA, month 1 in 1975, indicating that embryo transfer technology entered a higher stage of development. In 1976, the non-operative transplanting technique of cattle was promoted, and in 1977, commercialization was started, and 13 countries established hundreds of commercial embryo transfer companies. Cattle pregnant after 1978 in north america alone are nearly 1 million, and cattle pregnant by embryo transfer technology in the united states alone are up to 30 ten thousand per year.
The technology in China starts later, rabbit embryo transfer is successful in 1973, sheep in 1974, cow in 1978 and milk goat embryo transfer in 1980 are successful; the rabbit embryo and sheep embryo are successfully transplanted after being kept at low temperature for 1 day and 10 days in 1976-1977; after ultralow temperature preservation of sheep embryo in 1980, transplanting lambing; 3 calves are transplanted after the bovine embryo is frozen for 374 days in 1982; horse embryo transfer was successful in 1982. The success of dividing cattle and sheep before and after 90 s is equal to Guo Zhiqin which is equal to that of obtaining the same-egg double calves after dividing and transplanting frozen embryo of the dairy cow in 1989 and the same-egg lambs after dividing and transplanting fresh embryo of sheep in 1992; in 1989, cow quarter embryo successfully calving.
The bovine embryo segmentation technique is a technique developed on the basis of the bovine embryo transfer technique. The method is to divide an embryo into two or more by microsurgery operation on the embryo, and each blastomere has the potential possibility of developing into a complete individual in early stage of embryo development of the cow, so that the embryo dividing technology can be used for artificially manufacturing double or multiple embryo with the same egg, and the embryo number and calving number can be increased exponentially, thereby expanding the fine breed cow group rapidly and accelerating the development of the cow industry. In addition, the embryo segmentation technology can also obtain the homoegg twin or the volunteer offspring with the same sex and genetics, and provides precious test materials for researches of genetics, physiology, nutrition and the like. The problems of the effective rate of embryo segmentation, the pregnancy rate of embryo transplantation and the like are mainly solved in the implementation of the bovine embryo segmentation technology in China.
The application of embryo segmentation technology can not only increase the number of embryos used for embryo transfer by multiple times. But also can produce offspring with the same genetic properties. The method has special effects on animal husbandry production and experimental research, such as researching influence of external environment and conditions on growth, development, production performance and the like of livestock. The test results obtained by using the same-egg twin or multiple twin with the same genetic property are more definite. Meanwhile, sex can be indirectly controlled by applying embryo segmentation technology, so that the value and the practical effect of embryo transfer are greatly improved.
Embryo segmentation technology has great promotion effect on physiological, nutritional, genetic, embryological and animal breeding research, especially animal genetic research, and can provide valuable materials for research of these subjects. The research of the cryopreservation technology of the mammalian embryo starts in the 50 th century of 20, and the technology is combined with embryo segmentation, so that the number of embryos can be increased, the calving rate can be improved, the embryo transfer is not limited by time and region, the long-distance transportation of the embryos is solved, the high cost of international introduction is reduced, the disease transmission is reduced, and the popularization and application of the embryo transfer technology in production are facilitated; and embryo freezing has important significance in accelerating the breeding improvement process of livestock, establishing a gene library, protecting resources and the like.
The embryo segmentation technique provided by the present invention exhibits excellent technical effects as described herein.
