Abstract

One challenge that needs to be addressed in animal embryo production is to create the appropriate in vitro culture to improve the blastocyst rate and produce high-quality embryos. Buffalo Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) were derived from Wharton’s jelly and expanded in vitro. Conditioned media (secretome) was collected from well-characterized WJMSCs at 3rd passage. Similarly, buffalo Uterine Epithelial Cells (UECs) were derived from nongravid uteri and expanded in vitro. The secretome was collected from a well-characterized first passage UECs monolayer primed with steroid hormones (progesterone 3.14ng/ml and estradiol-17β 5 31pg/ml). Culture media was replaced with non-serum media, and the media was collected after 72h. Day 4 IVF-derived embryos were cultured in three groups: in regular mSOF media (Group I), mSOF replaced with 50% CM derived from MSCs (Group II), and mSOF replaced with 50% CM from steroid-treated UECs (Group III). Blastocyst rates were evaluated on day 09 post IVF. The blastocyst rate in group II was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the control group, which was further enhanced in group III. In vitro co-culture of embryos with the secretome derived from mesenchymal stem cells or steroid-treated UECs improved the blastocyst rate. UECs and their secretions are essential to establish uterine receptivity and to mimic the internal in vivo environment.
