Method for constructing triploid pig based on somatic cell nuclear transfer technology
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of bioengineering, in particular to a method for constructing triploid pigs based on somatic cell nuclear transfer technology.
Background
In nature, organisms containing three or more complete chromosomes are generally called polyploids, the polyploid phenomenon widely exists in plants, fungi, amphibians, reptiles and other lower animals, and about 60% -70% of angiosperms in the organism world, such as wheat, cotton, coffee and the like, are polyploids. In animals, polyploid has shown attractive prospects and application value in the field of shellfish and fish biological breeding research. However, in vertebrates, polyploid phenomenon occurs very rarely except for amphibians, reptiles, and some fish. In the study of polyploid pigs, triploid pig embryos or surviving triploid pig individuals that developed to a late stage have not yet been reported.
The lack of triploid pig research model and materials is still an important factor for restricting the analysis of triploid embryo development disorder. At present, many researches on the development of the polyploid embryo of the pig and the non-survival mechanism of individuals are only based on the excavation of trace polyploid evidence data, even the speculation according to a mathematical modeling simulation system and the like, a systematic basic research theory system of the polyploid embryo of the pig is not formed yet, and the mechanism analysis of the development disorder of the polyploid embryo of the pig, sex determination, gene expression regulation and control, cell division and growth and development processes are unclear, so that the polyploid embryo of the pig cannot survive and develop for a long time, and the deep analysis of the development disorder of the polyploid embryo of the pig and the innovative research and application in the breeding field are severely limited to a great extent.
Reprogramming somatic cell nuclear transfer provides a powerful tool for modulation of epigenetic modifications during mammalian embryo development. Genomic imprinting is an important epigenetic modification in mammalian development, and unbalanced expression of imprinted genes is typical of triploid mammals. The 3D chromatin framework is reprogrammed Cheng Xianxiang at the chromatin level in the development process of somatic cell nuclear transfer embryo, the formation and occurrence of polyploid organisms often undergo a great deal of biological processes such as genome structure change, epigenetic modification and related phenotypic change, and the chromatin structure remodeling, DNA replication and recombination and gene expression regulation are closely related to the growth and development process of organisms. Therefore, the reprogramming of somatic cell nuclear transfer provides a possibility for regulating epigenetic modifications such as abnormal expression, wrong expression or non-expression of imprinted genes in the development process of triploid pig embryos, and provides an important tool for the construction of triploid pigs.
