Evidences indicate that the IGF system is related to embryo quality. To better understand the differences on in vitro embryo<br />

development of Zebu and European cattle, we aim to determine the effect of heat stress on the pattern of mRNA expression of IGF-I and II,<br />

IGFR-I and II, IGFBP-2 and 4 and PAPP-A in blastocysts from Nelore (NEL) and Holstein (HOL) breeds. NEL and HOL oocytes were<br />

aspirated by OPU, matured in TCM199, fertilized with semen from NEL (n = 6) and HOL (n = 6) bulls, respectively, and cultured in SOF<br />

medium (synthetic oviduct fluid, without FCS) to the blastocyst stage. Ninety-six h post-insemination (96 hpi) embryos = 16 cells were<br />

randomly separated in two groups: control and Heat Stress (HS). Embryos from control group were continuously cultured at 39°C and embryos<br />

from HS group were exposed to 41°C for 9 h, and returned to 39°C afterwards. Embryos at 168 hpi were removed from culture medium and<br />

allocated into five pools with five embryos in each experimental group, which were subjected to RNA extraction and stocked at -80°C. The<br />

expression of target genes was performed by RT-PCR in real time with oligo-dT in reverse transcription and specific primers for the bovine<br />

species. Expression of cyclophilin-A was used as endogenous control. The means of mRNA levels of target genes were compared using T-test<br />

or Man-Whitney test whether or not data were normally distributed. The mean values of IGF-I expression were higher (P < 0.05) in blastocysts<br />

undergoing HS when compared to control group, in both NEL (22.0±11.0 vs. 0.2±0.01, respectively) and HOL (8.0±5.0 vs. 1.0±0.3), and this<br />

increase was more evident in Nelore. Moreover, relative values of gene expressions of IGFBP-2 and 4 were higher (P < 0.05) in HOL<br />

blastocysts pools undergone HS (110.0±80.0 and 6.0±1.0, respectively) when compared to NEL undergone HS (2.0±0.1 and 0.1±0.01) or not<br />

(0.2±0.01 and 0.1±0.01) and HOL control (4.0±0.1 and 0.1±0.02). The higher IGF bioavailability verified in NEL blastocysts under HS can<br />

contribute to a greater tolerance of this breed to the HS when compared to HOL. [We acknowledge FAPESP for the financial support].<br />

N<br />

The ovarian follicle pick-up (OPU) and oocyte retrieval are critical steps for IVEP from living donors. Recently, variability in<br />

oocytes recovery has been studied in Gyr breed and it seems to be related to intrinsic potential of the donor (Oliveira et al., XXVI World Buiatrics<br />

Congress, 2010). The objective was to evaluate the potential for oocyte retrieval in two important breeds of dairy cows. Results from 245 OPU<br />

sections in Gyr (n = 132) and Holstein (n = 113) breeds were included for this purpose. Five days before OPU, the ovarian follicular wave was<br />

synchronized with auricular implant (norgestomet - Crestar ® - Intervet Schering- Plough Animal Health) and intramuscular injections of 2 mg<br />

of estradiol benzoate (2 mL of Gonadiol ® - Intervet Schering- Plough Animal Health) and 0,250 mg of D-cloprostenol (Veteglan ® - Hertape<br />

Calier Saúde Animal S.A). The OPU sections were separated in quartiles regarding the total oocytes recovered within each breed. Thereafter, the<br />

oocytes were classified according to the degree of quality and considered viable or not viable. Sex-sorted (X) semen was used for in vitro<br />

fertilization. Data from recovered oocytes (total and viable) and embryo produced in each quartile were submitted to one-way ANOVA and<br />

means between breeds were compared by “t” test (P < 0.05). The oocytes recovered (total and viable) were greater (P < 0.0003 and P < 0.0001)<br />

in OPU sections from Gyr compared to Holstein donors (34.3±9.9 vs. 25.2±7.5 oocytes and 27.8±9.5 vs. 18.4±7.0 viable, respectively, for the<br />

first quartile,). These differences were kept in OPU sections assigned in the 2nd e 3rd quartiles. However, the sections below the 3rd quartile did<br />

not change (P < 0.3 and P < 0.2) between Gyr and Holstein (5.5±2.8 vs. 4.8±2.0 oocytes and 4.0±2.2 vs. 3.5±2.0 viable, respectively). The OPU<br />

sessions with higher number of the recovered oocytes (1st quartile) confirmed the highest production of embryo, and did not differ (P < 0.6)<br />

between breeds (7.6±6.3 vs. 5.9±4.5 embryos, respectively, for Gyr vs. Holstein). However, for the other quartiles (2nd, 3rd and the remained<br />

OPU sections), the embryo production was greater in Gyr compared to Holstein donors (5.4±4.0 vs. 2.0±1.9, 3.1±2.0 vs. 1.6±1.5 and 1.6±1.3<br />

vs. 0.9±1.2 embryos, respectively). In the 1st quartile, the conversion rate of the viable oocytes to embryo was greater (P < 0.06) in Holstein<br />

(32.1%, 154/479) than in Gyr breed (27.3%, 243/890). Previous studies have shown the importance on selecting Gyr donors using the total<br />

oocytes recovered. The results suggest that the same principles could be useful to select Holstein donors. [Support: FAPEMIG Projeto CVZ<br />
