The aim of this study was to determine the effects of IGF-I on the viability and development of porcine presumptive diploid parthenotes developing in vitro. In vitro derived 2-cell parthenotes were cultured to blastocysts with or without exogenous IGF-I in the presence or absence of BSA. The addition of 10 or 100 ng/ml IGF-I into NCSU 23 medium did not enhance the development of 2-cell parthenotes to the blastocyst stage. However, IGF-I increased cell numbers (P < 0.001) in the presence of BSA. Similarly, IGF-I alone did not affect apoptosis in the blastocysts but when combined with BSA, it reduced apoptosis (P < 0.05). Real time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction revealed that IGF-I significantly decreased the mRNA expression (pro-apoptotic gene Fas or Bak and anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-xL) ratios of both Fas/Bcl-xL (P < 0.01) and Bak/Bcl-xL (P < 0.01) in the presence of 0.4% BSA. These data suggest that IGF-I synergies with BSA to act as a mitogen and apoptotic survival factor in porcine preimplantation parthenotes.
