| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The expression of claudin family, tight junction (TJ) were examined in pig blastocysts derived from activated diploids. Blastocysts expressed both mRNAs and proteins of claudin-1, -2, -4, -6, -7, -8, -9, -12 and -14. While claudin-4, -6 and -7 localized along the cell-boundary TJ structure, the other claudins were cytoplasmic. These results suggest that claudin-4, -6 and -7 are important for the TJ functions in pig blastocysts. Knockdown of claudin-1 and -4 by their siRNA severely suppressed the early cleavage.
To examine whether expression patterns of the claudins will be employed as markers for the potential developmental ability of in vitro produced blastocysts in future, features of glucose metabolism was examined in pig preimplantation embryos. It was shown that recommendation of carbohydrates are different depending on the preimplantation developmental stages and hexose biosynthesis pathway and GlcNAcylation have important roles in pig preimplantation development.
