C57BL/6J 小鼠冻融IVF原核胚用于Cas9显微注射探讨

摘要

目的 探讨小鼠体外受精(IVF)冻融后用于Cas9注射的可行性.方法 新鲜C57BL/6J小鼠卵子IVF后采用冻存管法(EFS20/40)冷冻原核胚(单细胞胚)和2 细胞胚胎,次日复苏后培养.比较冻融原核胚和2 细胞胚胎的回收率及成活率.选取部分冻融原核胚与新鲜原核胚同时进行Cas9和稀释液胞质注射并培养至2细胞,分别比较注射后的存活率及2细胞发育率.结果 冻融后的B6小鼠原核胚的回收率为92.5%、成活率为92.8%,2细胞胚的回收率为90.5%、成活率95.8%,两组数据差异无显著性(P > 0.05).新鲜原核胚Cas9注射后的存活率为92.7%,空白组注射组为97.5%,冻融原核胚Cas9注射后的存活率为82.6%,空白组为92%,冻融组Cas9注射与各组差异有显著性(P < 0.05),其它各组差异无显著性(P > 0.05).注射后的2 细胞胚发育率差异无显著性(P > 0.05).结论 冻融原核胚可用于Cas9显微注射.%Objective To verify the feasibility of Cas9 microinjection in frozen-thawed pronuclear embryos, based on the model of pronuclear embryos of C57BL/6J mice by in vitro fertilization.Methods After fertilized mouse pronuclear embryos cultured in vitro, one-cell and 2-cell embryos were frozen using EFS20/40 cryopreservation tube.The next day recovered and then cultured.The recovery rate and survival rate of the one-cell and 2-cell embryos were compared.The frozen-thawed and fresh pronuclear embryos were injected with Cas9 mixture and injection buffer into the cytoplasm, and then cultivated to 2-cell embryos,and the survival rate and development rate of the 2-cell embryos were compared.Results The recovery rate of frozen-thawed one-cell embryos was 92.5%, the survival rate was 92.8%, the recovery rate of 2-cell embryos was 90.5% and the survival rate was 95.8%, showing no significant difference.Furthermore, the survival rate of fresh one-cell embryos after Cas9 injection was 92.7%, the survival rate of one-cell embryos of the blank group was 97.5%.While the survival rate of Cas9 injected frozen-thawed one-cell embryos was 82.6%, and that of the blank group was 92%,showing a significant difference between the frozen-thawed injected group and other groups(P < 0.05).The development rate of 2-cell embryos after Cas9 injection was not significantly different.Conclusions Frozen-thawed pronuclear embryos can be used for Cas9 microinjection.
