Application of yellow angelica alcohol in preparation of product for promoting embryo development
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field related to biological medicine, in particular to application of yellow angelica alcohol in preparation of a product for promoting embryo development.
Background
Embryo engineering refers to a variety of micromanipulation and handling techniques for early embryos or gametes, including in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer, embryo segmentation transfer, embryonic stem cell culture, and the like. In vitro embryo production is a key link of embryo engineering technology, and is a key for research of animal husbandry, human assisted reproduction technology and embryo development mechanism before implantationTechniques for [1] . In vitro embryo production mainly comprises in vitro fertilization and in vitro embryo culture. In vitro embryo culture is the process of culturing activated oocytes into blastocysts in vitro [2]
Embryo quality for in vitro embryo production is affected by factors such as: the culture solution, osmotic pressure, pH, humidity, oxygen, carbon dioxide and other physical and chemical factors are very easy to influence, so that the embryo can generate excessive active oxygen, and as the in vitro embryo production technology is mostly operated in vitro, the in vivo antioxidant systems such as enzyme (superoxide dismutase, catalase and the like) and non-enzyme (melatonin) and the like are lack to resist the excessive active oxygen, thereby causing oxidative stress and reducing the development and quality of the embryo.
In order to solve this problem and to simulate the microenvironment of embryo development in vivo as much as possible, studies have shown that the addition of some natural antioxidants (e.g. melatonin etc.) during embryo culture in vitro may achieve good results, but all have different drawbacks, such as melatonin is related to seasonal reproduction, unsuitable for administration by lactating women, etc. Therefore, it is one of the hot spots of current research to find a new, more effective, safer natural antioxidant to improve the developmental capacity and quality of in vitro embryos.

The mitochondria store electrochemical potential energy in the inner mitochondrial membrane when energy is generated, and the asymmetric distribution of the concentration of protons and other ions on both sides of the inner mitochondrial membrane forms mitochondrial membrane potential. Normal mitochondrial membrane potential is a prerequisite for maintaining oxidative phosphorylation of mitochondria and production of adenosine triphosphate, and stabilization of mitochondrial membrane potential is beneficial for maintaining normal physiological function of cells; the decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential is one of the manifestations of decreased mitochondrial function, and unhealthy mitochondria have their membrane potential decreased or lost, and thus mitochondrial membrane potential is one of the important indicators for evaluating mitochondrial function of cells.

Normal mitochondrial distribution is uniform, and accumulation distribution, peripheral distribution and semi-peripheral Zhou Fenbu are considered abnormal mitochondrial distribution. The research proves that the improvement of the expression level of genes such as TFAM, NRF1, NRF2 and the like can also prove the good functional state of mitochondria, and the expression level of the three genes is improved by the angelicin, so that the functional state of the mitochondria is improved, and the embryo development capacity and quality are further improved.

The medium was used for pig in vitro embryo culture by the same procedure as in example 1, and the quality and development ability of in vitro embryos were evaluated by detecting and calculating the blastocyst rate in the culture medium of the experimental group and the control group at day 7, and the results are shown in fig. 1. Wherein, blastula ratio= (number of blastula formed/number of all early parthenogenetic embryos cultured) ×100%.
As can be seen from FIG. 1, compared with the control group, the addition of 0.5 mu mol/L (mu M) of the yellow angelol into the pig embryo in-vitro culture medium can obviously improve the blastula rate of the pig in-vitro parthenogenesis activated embryo, wherein the blastula rate of the control group is 34.96%; when the concentration of the yellow angelica alcohol is 0.1 mu M, the blastula rate is 39.96%, which is improved by 2% compared with the control group; when the concentration is 0.5 mu M, the blastula rate can reach 45.1 percent, which is obviously higher than that of the control group (P < 0.01) and is improved by 10.14 percent compared with the control group. However, when the concentration of xanthoangelol was 2.5 μm, the blastula rate was 37.7%, 2.74% higher than the control group.
The results show that adding the yellow angelica alcohol into the culture medium helps promote parthenogenesis of the activated oocyte to the blastocyst. The activation of oocyte to develop smoothly to blastocyst is the key of in vitro embryo culture, and only early embryo with good development capacity and development quality can develop to blastocyst, and then embryo implantation rate can be improved by using blastocyst for in vivo transplantation. Therefore, the yellow angelica alcohol can improve the development capacity and the development quality of the embryo at the early stage before implantation, lays a good foundation for embryo implantation, and simultaneously shows that the yellow angelica alcohol has good application prospect in preparing the product for improving the embryo blastula rate of the embryo in vitro.
Example 3
The embodiment is the application of the yellow angelica alcohol in preparing a product for improving the mitochondrial membrane potential of the in vitro embryo cells. The method specifically comprises the following steps: the yellow angelic alcohol is added into the pig embryo in vitro culture medium according to the effective amount of 0.5 mu mol/L (mu M).
The above-described medium was used in pig in vitro embryo culture by the same procedure as in example 1, and the quality and development ability of the in vitro embryo were evaluated by detecting and calculating the mitochondrial membrane potential of the embryo cells in each medium when cultured to the 4-cell stage of the pig early parthenogenetic embryo. 4-cells were washed 3 times with PBS buffer, placed in a medium containing 0.5mmol/L (mM) of 5,5', 6' -tetrachloro-1, 1', 3' -tetraethyliminocarbonyl cyanine iodide (JC-1) at 38℃in 5% CO 2 Is incubated for 30min in the incubator.
Images were taken using a fluorescence microscope (Nikon, tokyo, japan). Images were analyzed with Image J software and membrane potential was calculated as the ratio of red fluorescence (corresponding to active mitochondria (J aggregates)) to green fluorescence (corresponding to low active mitochondria (J monomers)). The fluorescence intensity of the control group was set to 1, and the relative fluorescence intensity of the experimental group with respect to the control group was calculated.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, JC-1 staining of 4-cell stage embryos measured mitochondrial membrane potential, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.001), specifically 1.33 times that of the control group, increased by 33% relative to the control group; wherein the mitochondrial membrane potential is one of the important indexes for evaluating mitochondrial function, the reduction of the mitochondrial membrane potential is one of the manifestations of mitochondrial function reduction, and unhealthy mitochondria can have the membrane potential reduced or lost. Therefore, the results show that the addition of 0.5 mu M of the yellow angelica alcohol into the culture medium can effectively improve the mitochondrial membrane potential and protect the mitochondrial function, thereby improving the development quality and the development capacity of early embryo. Meanwhile, the yellow angelica alcohol has good application prospect in preparing the product for improving the mitochondrial membrane potential of the in vitro embryo cells.
Example 4
The embodiment is the application of the yellow angelica alcohol in preparing a product for improving the mitochondrial distribution of in vitro embryo cells and the expression level of related genes. The method specifically comprises the following steps: the yellow angelic alcohol is added into the pig embryo in vitro culture medium according to the effective amount of 0.5 mu mol/L (mu M).
The medium was used in pig in vitro embryo culture by the same procedure as in example 1, and quality and development ability of in vitro embryos were evaluated by detecting mitochondrial distribution of pig blasts and expression levels of related genes (TFAM gene, NRF1 gene, NRF2 gene):
when cultured until the 4-cell stage of the pig early parthenogenetic embryo, the 4-cells were stained with Mito-Tracker red probe (200 mmol/L, beyotime) for 45min. After washing, observations were made under a fluorescence microscope (Olympus). 20-30 oocyte mitochondrial distributions were examined.
Oocytes of the experimental group and the control group (without adding yellow angelic alcohol in example 1) were cultured in vitro to the blastocyst stage of the pig early parthenogenetic embryo (after 7 days of in vitro culture of the oocytes), and blasts were collected and lysed in 50 μl of lysis buffer. The extraction of mRNA from blasts was performed on ice using a kit (DynaBeads mRNA Direct Kit) according to the manufacturer's instructions and cDNA was synthesized by reverse transcription of mRNA. ThenKit for use (KAPA)FAST) was subjected to real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR procedures according to the instructions and qPCR reactions were performed using a CFX Connect Optics Module PCR instrument. The PCR reaction system was 20. Mu.L of cDNA, 1. Mu.L of upstream primer, 1. Mu.L of downstream primer, SYBR Green 10. Mu.L, ddH 2 O7. Mu.L. The names and sequences of the primers are shown in Table 1, in which GAPDH gene is used as a reference gene.
TABLE 1 names and sequences of the primers used in qPCR reactions
As a result, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, fig. 4 shows that the mitochondrial distribution level of the experimental group (yellow angelol 0.5 μm) was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.001), wherein the control group was 0.99, the experimental group was 1.27, and the mitochondrial distribution of the experimental group was increased by 0.28 relative to the control group. FIG. 5 shows that the expression level of embryo cell related genes of the yellow angelica alcohol treatment group (0.5 mu M) is obviously higher than that of the control group (P < 0.001), and the expression of mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM gene), nuclear respiration factor 1 (NRF 1 gene) and nuclear erythrocyte related factor 2 (NRF 2 gene) are respectively 2.67 times, 1.41 times and 1.67 times that of the control group, and the addition of 0.5 mu M yellow angelica alcohol into the culture medium can improve the expression level of in vitro embryo cell oxidative stress genes, and also shows that the yellow angelica alcohol has good application prospect in preparing products for improving the proliferation capacity of in vitro embryo cells.
In conclusion, the invention proves that the yellow angelica alcohol can improve the blastula rate of in-vitro embryo culture, protect the mitochondrial function of in-vitro embryo cells and improve the proliferation capacity of in-vitro embryo cells, thereby effectively improving the quality and development capacity of in-vitro embryos. The yellow angelic alcohol has good market application prospect in preparing products for improving the quality and the development ability of in-vitro embryos.
