Transgenic pig expressing the enhanced green fluorescent protein produced by nuclear transfer using colchicine‐treated fibroblasts as donor cells

Abstract: Fetal-derived fibroblast cells were transduced with replication defective vectors containing the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). The transgenic cells were treated with colchicine, which theoretically would synchronize the cells into G2/M stage, and then used as donor nuclei for nuclear transfer. The donor cells were transferred into the perivitalline space of enucleated in vitro matured porcine oocytes, and fused and activated with electrical pulses. A total of 8.3% and 28.6% of reconstructed oocyte… Show more

“…28,29 The development of transgenic animals has been well established for the study of a variety of diseases and for the production of human proteins for therapeutic purposes. [30][31][32][33][34] SCs have the capacity to engraft in various environments and produce a variety of proteins that are immunoprotective. In addition, these cells are naturally very prolific protein producers.…”

“…Animal cloning has now been successful performed on the animal model systems of mouse (Wakayama et al, 1998) and zebrafish (Lee et al, 2002). This technique has also been used to successfully generate GFP transgenic livestock in goats (Reggio et al, 2001), pigs (Lai et al, 2002), and cows (Bordignon et al, 2003). The use of somatic nuclear transfer for generating transgenic organisms for research is especially promising in zebrafish.…”

“…Moreover, the frequency of apoptosis is low in the cell subpopulations synchronized by cytodifferentiation induction compared with other synchronization systems, including serum starvation, in vitro culture to total confluency point, and chemical treatment of donor cells with specific or non-specific cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors such as roscovitine, butyrolactone or olomoucine, which are G1/G0 phase inductors (Nagashima et al, 2003). In pig somatic cloning technology, a source of donor nuclei is more frequently the cells whose mitotic cycle is transiently inhibited at G2/M phase borderline (checkpoint) by artificial synchronization with chemical mediators from a group of kariokinetic spindle microtubule polimerization inhibitors (Lai et al, , 2002bMiyoshi et al, 2001). Partial biodegradation of microtubular cytoskeleton as a result of somatic cell incubation in a colchicine (Lai et al, 2002b) or nocodazole solution (Miyoshi et al, 2001) causes reversible blocking of the cell division cycle at metaphase or slowing down of cell proliferating activity.…”

In turn a decrease of mitotic cell division rate and delay, and consequently greater uniformity of the cell growth cycle rate reduces the degree of asynchrony in entering the G2/M stage in the majority of cells of the in vitro cultured subpopulation (clonal line).…”
