Table 1. Development of cloned embryos treated with 5-aza-dC or TSA.
Groups | No. embryos (Rep.) | No. embryos cleaved (% ± SEM) | No. blastocysts (% ± SEM) |
---|---|---|---|
NT-CON | 131 (3) | 114 (87.11 ± 0.70) a | 27 (20.76 ± 1.19) a |
NT-AZA | 128 (3) | 113 (88.26 ± 0.32) a b | 35 (27.36 ± 0.61) b |
NT-TSA | 126 (3) | 113 (89.68 ± 0.80) b | 63 (49.98 ± 2.46) c |
Treating cloned embryos with 25 nM 5-aza-dC or 40 nM TSA for 24 h enhanced the cleavage and blastocyst rates of cloned embryos.
a-cValues in the same column with different superscripts differ significantly (P<0.05).
