“…The data from the current study indicate that BAX expression was significantly (P \ 0.05) higher in NT embryos from FFs than in embryos from AMSCs and IVF, suggesting that over expression of the BAX gene, the cellular apoptotic pathway takes place (Yang and Rajamahendran 2002;Opiela et al 2008). This nonregulation of BAX rnRNA expression could be a cause for the low quality of FF-NT embryos.…”

The developmental ability and gene expression pattern at 8-to 16-cell and blastocyst stages of buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) nuclear transfer (NT) embryos from fetal fibroblasts (FFs), amnion mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) and in vitro fertilized (IVF) embryos were compared in the present studies. The in vitro expanded buffalo FFs showed a typical ''S'' shape growth curve with a doubling time of 41.4 h and stained positive for vimentin. The in vitro cultured undifferentiated AMSCs showed a doubling time of 39.5 h and stained positive for alkaline phosphatase, and these cells also showed expression of pluripotency markers (OCT4, SOX2, NANOG), and mesenchymal stem cell markers (CD29, CD44) and were negative for haematopoietic marker (CD34) genes at different passages. Further, when AMSCs were exposed to corresponding induction conditions, these cells differentiated into adipogenic, chondrogenic and osteogenic lineages which were confirmed through oil red O, alcian blue and alizarin staining, respectively. Donor cells at 3-4 passage were employed for NT. The cleavage rate was significantly (P \ 0.05) higher in IVF than in FF-NT and AMSC-NT embryos (82.6 ± 8.2 vs. 64.6 ± 1.3 and 72.3 ± 2.2 %, respectively). However, blastocyst rates in IVF and AMSC-NT embryos (30.6 ± 2.7 and 28.9 ± 3.1 %) did not differ and were significantly (P \ 0.05) higher than FF-NT (19.5 ± 1.8 %). Total cell number did not show significant (P [ 0.05) differences between IVF and AMSC-NT embryos (186.7 ± 4.2, 171.2 ± 3.8, respectively) but were significantly (P \ 0.05) higher than that from FF-NT (151.3 ± 4.1). Alterations in the expression pattern of genes implicated in transcription and pluripotency (OCT4, STAT3, NANOG), DNA methylation (DNMT1, DNMT3A), histone deacetylation (HDAC2), growth factor signaling and imprinting (IGF2, IGF2R), apoptosis (BAX, BCL2), metabolism (GLUT1) and oxidative stress (MnSOD) regulation were observed in cloned embryos. The transcripts or expression patterns in AMSC-NT embryos more closely followed that of the in vitro derived embryos compared with FF-NT embryos. The results demonstrate that multipotent amnion MSCs have a greater potential as donor cells than FFs in achieving enhanced production of cloned buffalo embryos.

“…Data from the current study indicate that BAX expression was greater (P \ 0.05) in embryos produced from undefined media-containing serum than those produced in its absence, suggesting that over expression of the BAX gene, in the cellular apoptotic pathway takes place (Yang and Rajamahendran 2002;Opiela et al 2008). This non-regulation of BAX mRNA expression could cause low quality of embryos in undefined media.…”

The objective of this study was to compare effects of in vitro culture systems on embryonic development and expression patterns of developmentally important genes in preimplantation buffalo embryos. After IVM/IVF presumptive zygotes were cultured in one of three systems: undefined TCM-199, mCR2aa medium supplemented with 10 % FBS and defined PVA-myo-inositol-phosphate-EGF medium. No (P [ 0.05) differences at 2-cell, 4-cell and 8-cell to 16-cell stages were observed among the three cultured media used, however, increased (P \ 0.05) blastocyst yield, cell number and hatching rate were found in defined medium compared to undefined media. The expression patterns of genes implicated in embryo metabolism (GLUT-1), anti-apoptosis (BCL-2), imprinting (IGF-2R), DNA methylation (DNMT-3A) and maternal recognition of pregnancy (IFNT) were increased (P \ 0.05) in hatched blastocysts derived from defined medium compared to undefined media. In conclusion, serum-free, defined medium improved developmental competence of in vitro cultured buffalo embryos. Whether these differences in morphological development and gene expression have long-term effects on buffalo calves born after embryo transfer remains unknown. However, it is possible that early adaptations of the preimplantation embryo to its environment persist during fetal and post-natal development.

“…The data from the current study indicate that, BAX expression showed a steady increase through the developmental stages and the levels were significantly (P \ 0.05) higher in NT embryos from AFs than in embryos from AFSCs and IVF, suggesting that overexpression of the BAX gene accelerates cellular apoptotic pathways (Yang and Rajamahendran 2002;Opiela et al 2008). This non-regulation of BAX mRNA production could be a cause for the low quality of the cloned embryos.…”

Abnormal gene expression in somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos due to aberrant epigenetic modifications of the donor nucleus may account for much of the observed diminished viability and developmental abnormalities. The present study compared the developmentally important gene expression pattern at 4-cell, 8-to 16-cell, morula, and blastocyst stages of buffalo nuclear transfer (NT) embryos from adult fibroblasts (AFs) and amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSCs). In vitro fertilized embryos were used as control embryos. Alterations in the expression pattern of genes implicated in transcription and pluripotency (OCT4, STAT3, NANOG), DNA methylation (DNMT1, DNMT3A), histone deacetylation (HDAC2), growth factor signaling, and imprinting (IGF2, IGF2R), apoptosis (BAX, BCL2), oxidative stress (MnSOD), metabolism (GLUT1) regulation were observed in cloned embryos. The expression of transcripts in AFSC-NT embryos more closely followed that of the in vitro fertilized embryos compared with AF-NT embryos. It is concluded that AFSCs with a relatively undifferentiated genome may serve as suitable donors which could be reprogrammed more efficiently to reactivate expression of early embryonic genes in buffalo NT.
