Abstract: In order to investigate the potential of fibroblasts as donor cells, and find out the optimal concentration of TSA used to treat fibroblasts, and further to improve the developmental level of cloned embryos, the fibroblasts were treated with 100, 50, 25, 10 ng·mL-1 TSA, cell morphology and viability were investigated. Flow cytometry were adopted to analyse cell cycle. Acetylation level was detected by indirect immunofluorescence, and the developmental level of cloned embryos was evaluated. Most cells treated with 100 ng·mL-1 TSA were dead, but a significant increase of acetylation level was detected; the cell cycle was arrested at G0/G1 checkpoint with the existence of TSA; generally,there was a higher proportion of cleavages and blastulas (P<0.05, (85.2±3.4)% vs( 68.6±6.7)%, (35.6±5.7)% vs (10.4±8.3)%) when the cells were treated with 10 ng·mL-1 TSA. The results suggested that acetylation level, cell morphology and embryonic developmental level were improved and optimal for the donor cells treated with 10 ng·mL-1 TSA.
