In this study, we analysed the effects of the cloned embryo aggregation on in vitro embryo development and embryo quality by measuring blastocyst size and cell number, DNA fragmentation levels by TUNEL assay, and the relative expression of genes associated with pluripotency, apoptosis, trophoblast markers, and DNA methylation in the porcine. Cumulus-oocyte complexes were recovered from slaughterhouse ovaries by follicular aspiration. Maturation was performed in TCM for 42 to 48 h at 39°C and 5% CO2. After denudation by treatment with hyaluronidase, mature oocytes were stripped of the zona pellucida using a protease and then enucleated by micromanipulation; staining was performed with Hoëchst 33342 to observe metaphase II. Ooplasms were placed in phytohemagglutinin to permit different membranes to adhere between each other; the ooplasm membrane was adhered to a porcine fetal fibroblast from an in vitro culture. Adhered membranes of the donor cell nucleus and enucleated oocyte cytoplasm were electrofused through the use of an electric pulse (80 V for 30 μs). All reconstituted embryos were electrically activated using an electroporator in activation medium (0.3 M mannitol, 1.0 mM CaCl2, 0.1 mM MgCl2, and 0.01% polyvinyl alcohol) by a DC pulse of 1.2 kVcm for 80 μs. Then, embryos were incubated in 2 mM 6-DMAP for 3 h. In vitro culture of zona-free embryos was achieved in a well of wells system in 100 μL of SOF medium. Two experimental groups were used, one control group with a single reconstructed embryo per microwell (1×) and the other group placing 3 reconstructed embryo per microwell (3x aggregation group). Embryos were cultivated at 39°C in 5% O2, 5% CO2 for 7 days in SOF medium with a supplement of 10% fetal bovine serum on the fifth day. At Day 7, resulting blastocysts were classified according to their morphology and diameter to determine their quality. Our results showed that aggregation of 3× embryos increased blastocyst formation rate and blastocyst size of pig cloned embryos (Fisher’s test P < 0.05 and Student’s t-test P < 0.05, respectively). The DNA fragmentation levels in 3× aggregated cloned blastocysts were significantly decreased compared to 1x blastocyst (Student’s t-test P < 0.05). Levels of Oct4, Klf4, Igf2, Bax, and Dnmt1 transcripts were significantly higher in aggregated embryos, whereas Nanog levels were not affected. Transcripts of Cdx2 and Bcl-xl were essentially nondetectable (Student’s t-test P < 0.05). Our study suggests that embryo aggregation in the porcine may be beneficial for cloned embryo development and embryo quality, through a reduction in apoptotic levels and an improvement in cell reprogramming.

Although somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technology was developed more than 20 years ago, cloning efficiency remains low. Failures in the reprogramming of the donor cell result in embryos with aberrant epigenetic patterns and low developmental rates. In this study, we assessed whether the use the inhibitor of DNA (cytosine 5) methyltransferase 5-azacitidine (5Aza) combined with the MEK inhibitor in the MAPK pathway PD0325901 (PD) could improve SCNT efficiency in pigs. In vitro maturation of cumulus–oocyte complexes was performed in TCM for 44 h at 39°C under 5% CO2. Cumulus cells and zona pellucida was removed from matured oocytes, followed by enucleation of the metaphase plate previously stained with Hoëchst 33342. Each enucleated oocyte was attached to a donor cell by phytohemagglutinin treatment followed by an electric pulse of 80V for 30 μs. After fusion, reconstituted embryos were activated by an electric pulse followed by an incubation in 2 mM 6-DMAP for 3 h. Cloned embryos were cultured in vitro in a modified well-of-well system in SOF medium, where 3 cloned embryos were placed per microwell (3X). The experimental group 3X + drugs was exposed for the first 3 days to 1 μM PD and 1 μM 5Aza in SOF medium. After washing, embryos were cultured until Day 7 in regular SOF medium. The control group (3X) was cultured in regular SOF medium for 7 days. In vitro embryo developmental rates, gene expression, histone acetylation, and DNA methylation status were studied. The use of epigenetic modifying drugs significantly increased blastocyst rates (40.9% v. 29%; Fisher’s test, P < 0.05) and embryo size (41.46% v. 28.56%; Student’s t-test, P < 0.05) compared with the control group. Regarding gene expression, an increase of the relative expression of genes related to cell differentiation (Igf2 and Cdx2), antiapoptotic pathways (Bcl-xl) and DNA methylation modulation (Mapk1) was observed (P < 0.05). Pluripotency genes Oct4 and Nanog did not show differences between groups. The Bax proapoptotic gene significantly decreased its expression after drug treatment, as did the Klf4 gene (P < 0.05). Results were analysed by Student’s t-test. According to Histone H3K27ac, which is associated with enhancers or gene promoters, its marker was located mainly in the nuclear periphery respect to the control group with a uniform dispersion, indicating that the treatment could be activating certain genes by locating them near the periphery. Histone H3K4me1 was more uniformly localised throughout the nucleus in both groups. The intensity of the fluorescence was measured by quantitative confocal microscopy using a histogram produced by the ImageJ program (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA). Regarding DNA methylation by bisulphite sequencing, the 2 genes studied (Oct4 and DNMT1) showed a higher demethylation status for the treated group. Our results indicate that the combination of 5Aza+PD during early pre-implantation development dramatically increase blastocyst rates and embryo quality. This novel combination could be used as a strategy to improve the efficiency of SCNT in pigs and potentially other animals.

Aim: This study evaluated the precision of a CAD/CAM system by measuring marginal, internal and proximal fits in implantsupported single-crown restorations. Methods: Ten models of the upper arch were made in which implants replaced the upper left premolars. For fabrication of the zirconia infrastructures, titanium bases (TiBase) were coded and scanned using a scan body. A second digital impression was made for the fabrication of prostheses. Silicone impression material was used to determine the internal clearance between the TiBase and infrastructure and between the infrastructure and crown, whose thickness was measured at three points [P1 (cervical), P2 (middle) and P3 (occlusal)] with a stereoscopic microscope at 70x and 100x magnification. One-way ANOVA for repeated measures and the Student t-test were used for the analysis of internal and marginal adaptation. Proximal contacts were analyzed qualitatively. Results: There was no significant difference between the teeth evaluated (Student’s t-test; p>0.05) or between the corresponding points evaluated in either tooth (one-way ANOVA; p>0.05). Analysis of the internal clearance between the infrastructure and crown demonstrated that all points were significantly different compared to the reference standardized at 100 μm (Student’s t-test p<0.0001). There was no significant difference between P1 and P2, with the thickness at these two points being lower than that obtained at P3 (one-way ANOVA, p<0.05). The proximal contacts did not coincide with the quality defined by the device. Conclusion: The system tested was unable to produce implantsupported single-crown ceramic restorations with marginal, internal and proximal fits matching the digital workflow, with the inferior fits requiring adjustment prior to cementation.

The objective of this study was to determine fertilization rate effectiveness and early embryonic development competency with glutathione (GSH) supplementation in fertilization medium and culture This study consisted of two experiments comprising each of the four treatment and six repetitions with completely randomized design (CRD) using 651 oocytes. In the first experiment, a total of 317 bovine oocytes were matured in tissue culture medium (TCM) 199 at incubator 5% CO2 with temperature 39 ºC for24 h, then fertilized with sperm separated by swim up technique. Oocyte and sperms were incubated in fertilization medium supplemented with 0.25 mM, 0.50 mM, 1.00 mM GSH. In the second experiment, bovine oocytes were matured in maturation medium and fertilized with same procedure as mentioned before, then cultured in modified synthetic oviduct fluid (mSOF) with the following treatment: supplementation GSH only in fertilization medium (T1), supplementation GSH only in culture medium (T2), and supplementation GSH in both fertilization and culture medium (T3), while control not supplementation GSH (T0). Result of the first experiment showed that supplementation 1.00 mM GSH in fertilization medium can increase higher normal pronucleus (2PN) formation (86,9%) compared to other treatments, 0.50 mM (80.3%), 0.25 mM (73.8%), and control (58.9%) (P<0.05). In the second experiment showed that early bovine embryonic development on 2nd day cultured which reached 5-8 cell on treatment T1 (56.0%) and T3 (53.6%) were higher (P<0.05) compared to treatment T2 (26.2%) and T0 (control) (31.3%). Result of the other were showed that early bovine embryonic development on 4th day cultured which reached 9-16 cell on treatment T1 (26.2%) and T3 (27.4%) were higher (P<0.05) compared to that T2 (11.9%) and T0 (control) (10.8%). In conclusion, 1.00 mM GSH supplementation in medium was more effective in supporting normal pronucleus formation and early fertilization bovine embryonic development compared to in culture medium. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat fertilisasi dan kompetensi perkembangan awal embrio sapi dengan penambahan glutathione (GSH) pada medium fertilisasi in vitro (IVF) dan kultur in vitro (IVC).

Vanilla has a potential to be developed through tissue culture techniques to anticipate the limitations of the parent plant as a source of planting material. The in vitro propagation ability of vanilla shoots needs to be controlled with the regulation of Kinetin and Benzyl Amino Purines. The interests of this study are 1) analysis of the response of vanilla explants at several Kinetin concentrations; 2) analysis of the response of vanilla explants at several concentrations of BAP and 3) analysis of the interaction of Kinetin and BAP on the response of vanilla explants to form shoot multiplication. The research was conducted at the Tissue Culture Laboratory Politeknik Negeri Jember from June to December 2020 using a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Factor 1 was the Kinetin concentration of 0.0, 1.0, 2.0 mg.L-1 and the second factor was the concentration of BAP 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 mg.L-1. The results proved that the fastest shoot multiplication occurred on MS medium + Kinetin 2 mg.L-1 with a mean of 8.7 days after inoculation. The mean number of shoots was 7.6 shoots/explant with the highest average wet weight of 0.9 grams/explant at the addition of BAP 1.5 mg. L-1 at measurement 70 days after inoculation.

Sari Perbanyakan tanaman stroberi secara konvensional dilakukan dengan menggunakan stolon, tetapi kurang efektif serta kualitas bibit yang dihasilkan kurang baik akibat adanya akumulasi penyakit. Budidaya stroberi memerlukan adanya perbanyakan bibit secara massal, tetapi tidak mengubah kualitasnya. Multiplikasi in vitro menjadi solusi untuk penyediaan bibit berkualitas dalam jumlah besar. Upaya untuk mendapatkan tunas in vitro dalam jumlah banyak yakni perlu adanya penambahan zat pengatur tumbuh golongan sitokinin seperti Benzylaminopurine (BAP) atau Thidiazuron (TDZ). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui dan menetapkan jenis serta konsentrasi sitokinin dengan hasil terbaik dalam multiplikasi stroberi kultivar Tochiotome. Percobaan dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Kultur Jaringan Tanaman, Teknologi Benih, Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Padjadjaran. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap yang terdiri dari tujuh perlakuan yang diulang lima kali, yaitu: Kontrol (tanpa sitokinin); BAP (0,25 ppm; 0,50 ppm; 0,75 ppm), dan TDZ (0,25 ppm; 0,50 ppm; 0,75 ppm). Hasil dari percobaan menunjukkan bahwa penambahan sitokinin tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap jumlah tunas dan bobot segar planlet. Media perlakuan kontrol dapat menghasilkan jumlah akar lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan media ditambah sitokinin. Penambahan BAP 0,50 ppm  berpengaruh positif terhadap jumlah daun dan dapat menghasilkan runner secara in vitro. Pemberian BAP 0,50 ppm cenderung dapat meningkatkan dan mempercepat produksi bibit tanaman stroberi kultivar Tochiotome.Kata Kunci: Benzylaminopurine (BAP), Thidiazuron (TDZ), Stroberi, Kultur Jaringan AbstractStolon is used for conventional propagation of strawberry, but it is less effective and the quality of the seeds is not good due to the accumulation of disease. In vitro multiplication becomes a solution for the supply of quality seeds in a fast time. The addition of growth regulator cytokinin, such as Benzylaminopurine (BAP) or Thidiazuron (TDZ) can produced the large number of shoot. The objective of this study was to obtain the best type and concentration of cytokinin in the multiplication of strawberry ‘Tochiotome’. The study was conducted at the Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory, Seed Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with seven treatments and five replications, that were: Control (without cytokinin); BAP (0.25 ppm; 0.50 ppm; 0.75 ppm), and TDZ (0.25 ppm; 0.50 ppm; 0.75 ppm). The results indicated that addition of cytokinin did not affected increasing number of shoots and fresh weightof plantlets. Control media can produce larger number of roots than those containing PGRs, this might be due to the endogenous auxin concentrations found in strawberry plants. Also, cytokinin inhibited root formations process. Plants treated with BAP 0.50 ppm increased for the number of leaves and produced runners in vitro. This study showed application of BAP with 0.50 ppm increased and accelerated the production of strawberry ‘Tochiotome’ seedlings.Keywords: Benzylaminopurine (BAP), Thidiazuron (TDZ), Strawberry, Tissue Culture

Abstract Abstract 969 Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an accumulation of immature myeloid precursors that leads to progressive marrow failure and death. This disease affects approximately 12,000 people per year in the United States, causing 9,000 deaths. Despite decades of active research the overall 5 year survival remains a dismal 30–40%. The backbone of initial therapy for the last 30 years is combination chemotherapy containing cytarabine (Ara-C) and an anthracycline. Resistance to these therapies is a major problem and most patients diagnosed with AML will ultimately die from resistant disease. AML is characterized by heterogeneous genetic alterations that can be used to delineate prognosis. Using standard karyotyping techniques patients can be divided into good, intermediate and poor prognostic categories. There is a clear link between these chromosomal aberrations and response to chemotherapy as complete remission rates are significantly different between groups. Patients with no detectable cytogenetic abnormality fall into an intermediate prognostic group with a very heterogeneous outcome. Recent work has begun to uncover submicroscopic genetic alterations that effect prognosis for these patients. These alterations can be mutations, over or under expression of a particular gene. The MN1 gene encodes a transcription co-factor first identified by its involvement in a balanced translocation in a patient with a meningioma. Since its initial description it has been found over-expressed in multiple AML patient samples. There are several reports that over-expression of MN1 confers a worse prognosis in AML. High MN1 expressers were less likely to achieve a remission and had a lower 3 year survival rate. Additionally, over expression of MN1 in murine bone marrow leads to AML in transplanted recipients and predicts for resistance to ATRA in elderly AML patients. However, the effect of MN1 over expression on response to standard chemotherapy is currently unknown. To answer this question we used a murine model of AML driven by MLL-ENL. AML blasts were infected with retroviral vectors that contained MN1 and a GFP reporter. Partially infected blast populations were then exposed to various concentrations of either Ara-C or doxorubicin and the ratio of GFP positive and negative cells was compared to untreated controls. When blasts were exposed to 150 nM Ara-C the GFP+ percentage went from 21.10 (+/− 0.5302) in the control samples to 35.68 (+/−1.230) in the treated samples. This result was even more profound when cells were treated with 15 ng/ml doxorubicin where the percentage went from 21.10 (+/− 0.5302) to 80.27 (+/−1.615). Both results were highly statistically significant by two tailed student's t test with p values of 0.004 and <0.0001 respectively. Consistent results were obtained in multiple different infections and with separately derived MLL-ENL lines. These data demonstrate that blasts expressing MN1 had an advantage when exposed to either Ara-C or doxorubicin although the effect was far more pronounced with doxorubicin exposure. MN1 expressing blasts were also resistant to the combination of Ara-C and doxorubicin. In order to determine if MN1 conferred resistance to Ara-C and doxorubicin in vivo we injected sublethally irradiated, Ly5.1+ C57Bl6 recipients with a partially infected population of blasts. Ly5.1+ animals do not express the Ly5.2 allele; thus, staining cells for Ly5.2 allows differentiation of leukemic cells from endogenous marrow. Eight days after injection of blasts animals were treated with 100 mg/kg Ara-C plus 3 mg/kg doxorubicin daily for 5 days or observed. On day 6 animals were sacrificed and bone marrow from bilateral femurs was harvested, stained for Ly5.2 and analyzed by flow cytometery. Animals treated with Ara-C plus doxorubicin had 90.58% (+/−0.6638) Ly5.2+, GFP+ blasts compared to 55.38% (+/−5.245) in control animals. This result was highly statistically significant with a p value of <0.0001 by two tailed student's t test. This observation was reproducible in a separately derived MLL-ENL driven cell line. These data suggest that over expression of MN1 in this murine AML model confers resistance to both Ara-C and doxorubicin in vitro and in vivo and provides a biological explanation for the clinical observation that it confers a worse prognosis. The mechanisms involved in this resistance are currently under study. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
