| Outline of Research at the Start |
ウシIVF胚の約半数が染色体異常を有しており、これが低受胎率の一因となっている。したがって、染色体異常を有する胚を移植に先駆け予測可能になれば、ウシIVF胚の移植後の受胎率が向上することが期待される。本研究では、ウシIVF胚の染色体異常に関連して発現する動的特徴を自動定量システム搭載タイムラプスイメージングにより網羅的に解析することで、染色体異常を予測する新たなバイオマーカーの同定を目指す。

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, by analyzing the relationship between the developmental kinetics of bovine IVF embryos and chromosomal aneuploidy in blastocysts, I try to identify for biomarkers that predict chromosomal abnormalities. As a result, no relationship between morphokinetics such as pronuclear morphological dynamics, first cleavage patern, and duration of each cell cycle and chromosomal aneuploidy in blastocysts was observed. As a result of live cell imaging, the relationship between abnormal chromosomal segregation at early cleavage and developmental kinetics was demonstrated. Hence, it was suggested that morphokinetics are related to chromosomal aneuploidy in early cleavage rather than to blastocysts. In the future, it will be necessary to search for biomarkers other than morphokinetics related to chromosomal aneuploidy in blastocysts.
