Valproic acid enhances in vitro development and Oct-3/4 expression of miniature pig somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effects of valproic acid (VPA), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, on in vitro development of miniature pig somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos and on expression of a mouse Oct-3/4 promoter-driven enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancement of Cytoplasmic Maturation of In Vitro-Matured Pig Oocytes by Mechanical Vibration

TL;DR: It was shown that in vitro maturation of oocytes with mechanical vibration can be applied to efficient production of blastocysts derived from miniature pig somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct Injection of CRISPR/Cas9-Related mRNA into Cytoplasm of Parthenogenetically Activated Porcine Oocytes Causes Frequent Mosaicism for Indel Mutations.

TL;DR: It is suggested that zygote microinjection of mRNAs might lead to the production of piglets with cells harboring various mutation types, and a correlation between EGFP expression and mutation induction is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

The combinational use of CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing and targeted toxin technology enables efficient biallelic knockout of the α-1,3-galactosyltransferase gene in porcine embryonic fibroblasts.

TL;DR: Using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, it is aimed to destroy the function of the porcine α‐1,3‐galactosyltransferase (α‐GalT) gene (GGTA1) whose product is responsible for the synthesis of the α‐Gal epitope, a causative agent for hyperacute rejection upon pig‐to‐human xenotransplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Utility of ultrasound stimulation for activation of pig oocytes matured in vitro.

TL;DR: It is shown that ultrasound stimulation can induce the nuclear activation and parthenogenetic development of pig oocytes matured in vitro under various conditions.
