Abstract
Description
本発明によれば、解凍細胞の生存率を評価する方法が提供され、ここで、上記細胞は、配偶子、胚、核質、推定幹細胞集団、幹細胞前駆体集団または幹細胞集団である。上記方法は、複数のアミノ酸を含む培養培地中でこの解凍細胞をインキュベートする工程、およびこの培地中の少なくとも1つのアミノ酸の濃度の変化を決定する工程を包含する。
(i)上記解凍哺乳動物着床前胚を複数のアミノ酸を含む培養培地でインキュベートする工程;
(ii)アミノ酸回転を決定するために、上記培養培地中の少なくとも1つのアミノ酸の濃度の増加および/または減少を決定する工程であって、ここで、より低い範囲のアミノ酸回転をもつ解凍哺乳動物着床前胚が、胚盤胞期および/または首尾よい着床への発生と関連する工程、を包含する。
本発明は、一例として記載され、そして添付の図面を参照して説明される。
インフォームドコンセント患者を用いる研究に提供されたスペアの凍結ヒト胚は、St Jame’s Hospital、LeedsにあるAssisted Conception Unitで体外受精(IVF)を受けている患者から得た。この作業の完全な倫理的認可は、Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority(HFEA)および共同研究機関のEthics Commiteesから認可された。
胚を含まないコントロール滴を、胚を含むディッシュと同じディッシュ中でインキュベートし、培養期間を通じてアミノ酸濃度における任意の非特異的変化を可能にした。使用済み培地を解凍し、そして2μlのアリコートを、23μlのHPLCグレードの水で希釈した。アミノ酸分析を、先に記載のように(Houghtonら、2002)、Jasco F920蛍光検出器および4.5×250mm Hypersil ODS−16カラム(Jones Chromatograpy)を取り付けたKontron 500を用い、逆相HPLCによって実施した。簡単に述べれば、誘導体化は、25μlサンプルの等容量の試薬(10μlの2−メルカプトエタノールおよび5mlのo−フタルジアルデヒド(OPA)試薬)との自動化反応により達成した。溶出グラジエントは、1.3ml/分の流速で作動させた。溶媒Aは、18mlのテトラヒドロフラン(Fisher Chemicals)、200mlのメタノールおよび800mlの酢酸ナトリウム(83mmol/l、pH5.9)から構成された。溶媒Bは、800mlのメタノールおよび200mlの酢酸ナトリウム(83mmol/l、pH5.9)から構成された。この方法を用いてプロリンおよびシステインを検出することは可能でなかった。
すべてのデータを、Anderson−Darling正規度試験を用い、正規分布しているか否かを決定するために分析した。アミノ酸枯渇/出現のためのデータは、このデータが正規分布しているか否かに依存して、1−サンプルt−検定または1−サンプルWilcoxon試験のいずれかを用い、ゼロからの有意さについて試験した。停止胚と発生する胚との間でのアミノ酸プロフィールの差異を、Studentのt−検定またはMann−Whitney U検定のいずれかを用いて分析した。アミノ酸枯渇、出現、回転および収支間の差異は、Studentのt−検定によって分析した。
(2日目〜3日目の解凍胚によるアミノ酸回転)
セリン、グルタミン、アルギニン、バリン、イソロイシンおよびロイシンは、培地から顕著に枯渇され(図1)、その一方、アスパラギン酸、グルタミン酸、アスパラギン、アラニン、トリプトファンおよびフェニルアラニンは出現した。次いで胚盤胞期まで発生しなかった解凍胚は、グルタミン、アルギニン、バリン、イソロイシンおよびロイシンを消費し、そしてアスパラギン酸、グルタミン酸、グリシン、アラニン、チロシン、トリプトファン、フェニルアラニンおよびリジンを産生した。胚盤胞期まで発生したような解凍胚と、胚盤胞形成の前に停止したようなものとの間には、グルタミン(P=0.001)、アラニン(P=0.001)、グリシン(P=0.0025)、グルタミン酸(P=0.016)、アルギニン(P=0.032)およびリジン(P=0.0448)の利用において有意な差異が存在した(図1)。
2日目〜3日目の凍結解凍ヒト胚の代謝が、培養培地からのアミノ酸枯渇、および培養培地中のアミノ酸出現に関して決定され、そして胚盤胞期まで発生するそれらの能力を予測するために用いられた。これは、低温保存されたヒト胚のエネルギー代謝を調査する最初の研究である。得られたアミノ酸プロフィールは、どの解凍胚が胚盤胞期まで発生するか;胚グレードおよび2日目における分割球数とは独立である現象を予測するために用いられ得る。胚盤胞期まで発生する能力をもつような胚は、代謝的により不活性であり、停止する胚より、アミノ酸産生、枯渇および回転のより小さい速度を有する。
