Pig cloning is of great interest for the creation of animal models for biomedical research due to close similarities between<br />

physiological and metabolic functions in pigs and humans. In addition, somatic cell cloning can be used to replicate animals of zootechnical or<br />

preservationist importance. Due to the intensification of industrial crossbreeding, a number of breeds of native pigs from Brazil have disappeared<br />

or are currently endangered. It is crucial to maintain these animals genotypes for biodiversity reasons and to prevent the lost of important genetic<br />

traits that might be explored in the future. The main objective of this study was to assess development of somatic cell cloned embryos from one<br />

Moura breed pig (Mo) and one Mulefoot pig (Mf) using either fibroblasts (Fib) or adipocyte-derived mesenchymal stem cells (Adi) as nuclear<br />

donor cells. Fib cell cultures were established through the explantation technique whereas Adi cells were obtained through enzymatic digestion<br />

of adipose tissues. Oocytes were obtained from gilts, maturated according to Martinez Diaz et al. (2010, Cel. Reprog. 12, 85), and then used as<br />

recipient cytoplasts. Handmade cloning steps for somatic cell nuclear transfer were performed according to Ohlweiler et al. (2009, Reprod. Fert.<br />

Dev. 22, 194–5). Oocyte activation was induced with ionomycin (10 µM/5 min) followed by the exposure to 6-dimethylaminopurine (2 mM/<br />

3h). Reconstructed embryos were cultured into micro-wells in PZM-3 at 38.8°C with 5% CO 2<br />

, 5% O2 and 90% N2 for 7 days. Cleavage and<br />

embryo development rates (Morula + Blastocyst) were recorded and analyzed using the Chi-square test (where P < 0.05 was considered<br />

significant). Cleavage (91.1%; n = 112/123 vs.. 93.4%; n = 113/121) and embryo development (30.6% vs.. 41.2%) rates were not statistically<br />

different between MoFib and MoAdi embryos, respectively. The cleavage rate was higher in the MfFib group (95.5%; n = 128/134) compared<br />

to the MfAdi (88.2%; n = 105/119) group, but embryo development was not statistically different between MfFib (30.6%) and MfAdi (43.8%)<br />

embryos. Reconstructed embryos from the MoAdi (n = 29) and the MfAdi (n = 45) groups were cultured for 18 h and then transferred to the<br />

oviducts of an estrus synchronized gilt at approximately 22 h prior to the presumptive ovulation time. This gilt was confirmed pregnant by<br />

ultrasound examination performed 25 days after embryo transfer. This study shows that somatic cell cloned embryos from endangered native pig<br />

breeds can be generated by transferring nuclei from different cell types into in vitro matured host oocytes derived from industrial crossbreeding<br />

gilts and that these (Adi) embryos can develop beyond the blastocyst stage. [Financial Support: FAPESC 17.418/2009-1].<br />

The growing worldwide demand for human Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (hG-CSF) stimulated our laboratory to<br />

produce transgenic goats harboring this gene (Freitas et al., 2010; Transgenic Res., 19, 146). From the birth of founders, obtained by pronuclear<br />

microinjection, the imminent aim was the establishment of a transgenic herd for a commercial scale production of the protein. The objectives of<br />

this study were: a) to obtain transgenic goats from a male founder and b) to determine the age at puberty of the progeny (F1). For this, seven nontransgenic<br />

Canindé females with the synchronized estrus were inseminated with semen from the transgenic founder male. The characterization<br />

of F1, for the presence of foreign gene was performed by conventional PCR. All animals received the suckling kids received supplementation<br />

with commercial concentrate and Tifton hay until three months of age (weaning). Thereafter, the detection of puberty was performed on both<br />

males and females. In males, sexual behavior was evaluated weekly, using a female in estrus until the onset of the first ejaculate containing<br />

spermatozoa. In females, blood samples were taken weekly to determine serum progesterone (P4). A total of 12 kids were born, with a foreign<br />

gene transmission rate of 54.5% (6/11) and the same ratio sex (three females and three males). Concerning the non-transgenic animals born,<br />

80.0% (4/5) were males. An embryonic loss and four stillborn offspring of which was a transgenic were observed in this work. The offspring<br />

remains healthy until now (180 days). Both transgenic males had motile spermatozoa in the ejaculate for the first time at 144 days of age, with<br />

17.2 and 15.8 kg, corresponding to 42.2 and 38.7% of the adult weight of an adult Canindé male, respectively. Similar results were observed in<br />

non-transgenic founders, the same found occurred at 119, 119 and 165 days, with 15.8, 12.6 and 13.6 kg, respectively. The transgenic females<br />

showed serum levels of P4 > 1 ng/mL (suggestive of ovulation) at 119 and 150 days of age, being 48% (14.9 kg) and 58% (17.9 kg) of the adult<br />

weight of an adult Canindé female, respectively. These results are consistent with the average age at puberty of naturalized breeds in Northeast<br />

Brazil. Moreover, indicate that the presence of foreign gene in F1, transmitted from the transgenic male thorough Mendelian inheritance, does<br />

not compromise the age at puberty in both males and females. Additional studies with a higher number of animals derived from line, as well as<br />

verification of fertility, are still needed.<br />
