The aim of this study was to establish an embryo culture system using collagen gel attached with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) derived from interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)-treated endometrial tissues from pigs. Endometria were separated from the porcine uterus at the follicular phase of the estrous cycle and were cultured with IL-1β. The collagen gels coincubated with IL-1β-treated endometria (C, without endometrial tissue; CE, with endometrial tissue; and CEI, IL-1β-treated endometrial tissue) were used for embryo culture. We found that, compared with the comparable figures in the control group, prostaglandin synthase-2 (PTGS-2) mRNA was increased in IL-1β-treated endometrial tissue (p < 0.05). The VEGF protein was not observed in collagen gel coincubated without endometrial tissue (C); however, it was detected in collagen gels coincubated with endometrial tissue (CE and CEI). The embryo cleavage rates and blastocyst formation did not differ among the treatment groups. The proportion of blastocysts did not differ among the groups. However, the number of blastocyst cells was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in the CEI group than in the other groups. These results clarify the effects of the intrauterine environment on preimplantation embryos and may be useful in research on the effects of extracellular matrix- and cytokine-treated endometrial tissue on embryo development.
