西亚试剂:Defects in Trophoblast Cell Lineage Account for the Impaire

Defects in Trophoblast Cell Lineage Account for the Impaired In Vivo Development of Cloned Embryos Generated by Somatic Nuclear Transfer

Highlights

Two 4N embryos result in higher developmental rate of clones after aggregation

Even higher NT efficiency is achieved after aggregating cloned ICMs with 4N embryos

Aggregated placentae display better histology and gene expression patterns

Cloned trophoblast cells constitute the main cause for the low success rate of NT

Summary

The low success rate of somatic nuclear transfer (NT) is hypothesized to be mainly due to functional defects in the trophoblast cell lineage rather than the inner cell mass (ICM); this hypothesis, however, remains to be tested directly. Here we separated the ICMs from cloned blastocysts and aggregated the cloned ICM with two fertilization-derived (FD) tetraploid (4N) embryos. We found that the full-term development of cloned ICMs was dramatically improved after the trophoblast cells in the cloned blastocysts were replaced by cells from tetraploid embryos, thus providing direct evidence that defects in trophoblast cell lineage underlie the low success rate of somatic NT.
