Abstract:

The experiment was conducted to study Leptin on in vitro early embryonic development diapause.The different concentration of Leptin 0,1,10,and 100 ng·L-1 were added to IVF early embryo medium,using 1% FCS as control group.The bovine in vitro embryos development with different concentration of Leptin were observed.RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of Leptin mRNA of normal and arrested embryo and the effect of Leptin on L-R and STAT3 mRNA expression.The results showed that: (1) Embryo cleavage rate and blastocyst rate of addition 10,100 ng·L-1 Leptin is significantly higher than control group (P<0.05); (2)The expression of Leptin mRNA in normal embryo was significantly higher than that of arrested embryo (P<0.05); (3) The expression of L-R,STAT3 mRNA of in vitro early embryo with exogenous Leptin was significantly higher than that of the control one(P<0.05). In conclusion, Leptin is very important to bovine in vitro early embryonic development, less expression of Leptin and L-R is mark to embryonic development diapause, and these process play a role in JAK/STAT3 pathway.
