Signaling pathways and transcription factors are involved in porcine embryonic development. Here, we demonstrate that glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) inhibitor, CHIR99021 and recombinant porcine interleukin-6 (rpIL6) significantly promote porcine parthenogenetic blastocyst formation (49.23 ± 8.40% vs 32.34 ± 4.15%), with increased inner cell mass (ICM) cell numbers (7.72 ± 2.30 vs 4.28 ± 1.60) and higher expression of pluripotent genes, such as OCT4, SOX2 and NANOG. Furthermore, CHIR99021 and rpIL6 improve blastocyst quality with increased blastocyst hatching percentage (16.19 ± 1.96% vs 10.25 ± 1.12%) and subsequently porcine pluripotent stem cells (pPSCs) derivation efficiency. These results advance the understanding of porcine pre-implantation development and provide evidences in improving the blastocyst quality.
信号通路和转录因子参与猪的胚胎发育。在此,我们证明糖原合酶激酶-3(GSK3)抑制剂CHIR99021和重组猪白细胞介素-6(rpIL6)显著促进猪孤雌胚泡形成(49.23±8.40%对32.34±4.15%),同时内细胞团(ICM)细胞数量增加(7.72±2.30对4.28±1.60),多能基因如OCT4、SOX2和NANOG的表达更高。此外,CHIR99021和rpIL6提高了胚泡质量,胚泡孵化率增加(16.19±1.96%对10.25±1.12%),随后提高了猪多能干细胞(pPSCs)的衍生效率。这些结果推进了对猪植入前发育的理解,并为提高胚泡质量提供了证据。
