Unfolded or misfolded proteins accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and activate the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR), allowing cells to respond to stress. ER is the main cell organs of cell membrane proteins and lipid synthesis and is involved in the maintenance of intracellular calcium homeostasis. ER homeostasis fluctuates, or an overload in the regulatory mechanism leads to apoptosis of cells due to sustained stress. These mechanisms of ER stress induced apoptosis in mammals are not well known, but it is understood that EIF2AK3 (PERK), ERN1 (IRE1a) and ATF6 activate UPR in ER stress processes.

In mouse and human somatic cells, X-box-binding protein 1 (XBP1) is known to be the main activator controlling the expression of the UPR gene. In the stress state, and the transfer of the XBP1 gene is derived, transcripts generates a XBP -1 (XBP1 -s) as a result of the non-splicing is typically 26 ribonucleotides is removed by splicing endoribonuclease. Only the spliced XBP- 1 migrates to the nucleus of the cell and activates the UPR gene. Thus, XBP1 -s are in vivo and in lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > ER < / RTI > stress in vitro .

Mouse oocytes and preimplantation embryos In XBP -1 expression position

It was confirmed that most of the mouse XBP-1 in the GV, two-cell, four-cell, eight-cell, morula and blastocyst stages is present in the nucleus and partially in the cytoplasm (FIG. Conversely, it was confirmed that mouse XBP-1 in the one-cell stage was mainly present in the cytoplasm (FIG. 1A). In the meiosis stage, XBP-1 was located in the spindle microtubules in metaphase I, but the signal intensity in the spindle microtubules was weaker as it progressed to pro-metaphase II and metaphase II (Fig. 1a).

In early-stage embryos, XBP -One mRNA Splicing  Characteristic

RT-PCR analysis, two-cell, four-cell, morula and blastocyst, but are not Singh ㅅseu spliced XBP -1s and a splicer in step XBP -1u mRNA is detected therefrom, the one-cell stage, only XBP -1u mRNA (Fig. 2A). Westrn Bolt analysis showed the same results (Fig. 2b). These results suggest that XBP-1 plays an important role in the development of mouse preimplantaion embryos.

Effect of culture stress on mouse embryo development

When one-cell embryos were treated with 2 μg / mL TM or 25 mM sorbitol, blastocyst development rate was significantly reduced (FIG. 3). However, in the absence of TM or sorbitol, approximately 80% of the two-cell stage embryos developed into blastocyst after 60 hours. However, embryos treated with 5 μg / mL or 50 mM sorbitol or more stopped development at the two-cell stage and did not progress to blastocyst. These results suggest that sustained culture stress may arrest embryos at the two-cell stage.

stress To inducing agent  by one - cell  In the step-embryo active XBP -1 induction

To confirm the relationship between culture stress and ER stress, one-cell stage mouse embryos were cultured in the presence or absence of TM or sorbitol. RT-PCR results in normal one-cell embryo splicer but washing the XBP -1 is not verified, in the case of 1μg / mL TM or a one-cell embryo treated with 25mM sorbitol was confirmed that the splicer Singh XBP -1 (Fig. 4a). These results were also the same in western blot analysis (Fig. 4c). In addition, immunostaining analysis showed that XBP-1 protein was detected only in the cytoplasm in the case of the normal one-cell embryo not treated with TM or sorbitol. However, in the one-cell embryo treated with 1 μg / mL TM or 25 mM sorbitol, XBP-1 protein was identified (Figure 4b). These results suggest that ER stress induction in early stage embryos is optimal at a concentration of 1 μg / mL TM or 25 mM sorbitol.

Stress-induced Two - cell  In the stage embryo XBP -1 protein

In the absence of stress inducers such as TM and sorbitol, two-cell step embryos did not show XBP-1 in the nucleus (Figure 5a), except that some signal was detected in the cytoplasm. In addition, XBP-1 in two-cell stage embryos was rearranged into nuclei when treated with a high concentration of stress inducer and TUDCA. These results were also the same in western blot analysis (Fig. 5B). When we synthesize these results, we can predict that only XBP-1 present in the nucleus is functional.

In mouse embryo development TUDCA Effect of

To determine whether TUDCA could inhibit ER stress-induced apoptosis, one-cell embryo was divided into a control group treated with stress inducer and an experimental group treated with stress inducer and TUDCA to observe development of blastocyst, The results are shown in Table 2 below. As shown in Table 2, TUDCA showed a marked increase in the number of developed individuals as well as the rate of development into blastocyst.

blastocyst Stress in To inducing agent  by Apoptosis  Induction effect

Apoptosis was not observed in blastocyst treated with 1 μg / mL TM or 25 mM sorbitol. However, in the case of blastocyst treated with 5 μg / mL TM or 50 mM sorbitol, DNA fragmentation was markedly increased, and when TUDCA was treated together, blastocyst apoptosis was significantly reduced (FIG. 6). These results suggest that TUDCA attenuates apoptosis induced by ER stress in mouse embryo development.

Porcine oocytes and preimplantation embryos in XBP -1 distribution

When PEF cells were treated with TM for 6 hours, XBP-1 was distributed both in nucleus and cytoplasm (Fig. 7A). According to western blot analysis, treatment of PEF cells with TM for 6 hours resulted in a significant increase in XBP-1s and no change in XBP-1u, consistent with the immunostaining assay (FIG. 7b). When PEF cells were simultaneously treated with TM and TUDCA, the degree of expression of XBP-1 protein increased by TM was decreased.

The XBP-1-specific antibody was used to determine the intracellular distribution of XBP-1 in mature oocytes and early-stage embryos. The result was confirmed to be present in nuclei in GV, 4-cell, morula and blastocyst, MII), metaphase II (MII), and 1-cell, 2-cell, and 8-cell stages (FIG. In addition, in 4-cell, the expression of XBP-1 in the nucleus was remarkable by TM (Fig. 7D).

As a result of western blot analysis, the expression of pMAPK3 / 1 (ERK1 / 2) protein in MII oocytes cultured in the presence of TUDCA was significantly increased compared to the control. However, there was no significant change in the expression of pMAPK3 / 1 (ERK1 / 2) protein in MII oocytes cultured in the presence of TUDCA (Fig. 9b and Fig. 9c).

in vitro in TUDCA Pigs by blastocyst of quality  evaluation

The quality of porcine blastocyst cultured in the presence of TUDCA was compared with the control cultures supplemented with TM (Table 6).

As shown in Table 6, it can be seen that when TUDCA was treated, the cleavage rate of oocytes, the development rate to blastocyst, and the number of total nuclei were significantly increased compared to the TM treatment group. From these results, it can be predicted that the level of apoptosis reflects the quality of blastocyst. The TUNEL assay shows that DNA fragmentation is significantly reduced in the TUDCA treated group compared to the control group (FIGS. 10A and 10B).

TUDCA Pig blastocyst of Apoptosis  effect

The expression level of proapoptotic gene of blastocyst cultured in the presence or absence of TUDCA was confirmed by wuantitative PCR. Expression of BCL2L1 mRNA was increased compared to the control group, but BAX and TP53 decreased (FIG. 10c).

Western blot analysis showed that expression of caspase-3 in blastocyst treated with TUDCA was significantly lower than that of the control (Fig. 10d).
