Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In vitro production of blastocyst stage embryos from Macaca fascicularis (Mf) has not previously been demonstrated without cell support. Historical data indicates that a large proportion of Mf embryos arrest at the morula stage in nonsequential culture medium (NSM) lacking serum supplementation and/or cell support. Here we report the application of a sequential culture system supporting in vitro production of Mf blastocysts. Mf embryos produced by in vitro fertilization (IVF; n = 69) were subjected to in vitro culture without cell support in either a commercial sequential embryo culture medium (SM) or an NSM. At 24 hr post-insemination (PI) embryos generated from in vivo and in vitro matured oocytes and cultured in the NSM cleaved to two or more cells in significantly greater proportions (15/23; 65%) compared to embryos cultured in SM (14/46; 30%). However, by day 3 PI embryo development beyond eight cells was not different in NSM (9/23; 39%) compared to SM (25/46; 54%). At day 5 PI embryo development to the morula stage was slightly lower in NSM (8/23, 35%) compared to SM (21/46, 45%), and embryo degeneration was slightly higher in NSM (9/23, 39%) compared to SM (9/46, 20%). After 7-9 days of in vitro culture, embryo development to the blastocyst stage and embryo degeneration were significantly lower and higher, respectively, in NSM (0/23, 0%; and 23/23, 100%) compared to SM (9/46, 20%; and 26/46, 56%). In this study the sequential culture system was better able to support in vitro development of Mf embryos compared to nonsequential culture systems.
