Abstract
In many animals, cytochalasins have generally been used as cytoskeletal inhibitors for the diploid complement retention of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos. However, limited information is available on the effects of cytochalasins on the in vitro development of SCNT embryos. Hence, we compared the effects of cytochalasin B (CB) and cytochalasin D (CD) on pseudo-polar body (pPB) extrusion, cortical actin filament (F-actin) distribution in porcine parthenogenetic oocytes and in vitro development of SCNT embryos that were reconstructed using foetal fibroblasts in the G0/G1 phase derived from miniature pigs. CB (7.5 microg/ml) and CD (2.5 microg/ml) treatments effectively inhibited pPB extrusion in SCNT embryos. CB (2.5 microg/ml) treatment could not inhibit pPB extrusion and insufficiently destabilized F-actin immediately following artificial activation. In parthenogenetic oocytes treated with 2.5 microg/ml CD, normal reorganization and uniform distribution of cortical F-actin at the cytoplasmic membrane were observed at 8 h after artificial activation; this finding was similar to that of control oocytes. In contrast, parthenogenetic oocytes treated with 7.5 microg/ml CB showed non-uniform distribution of F-actin at 8 ...Continue Reading
