To investigate the presence of embryotrophic factors in bovine oviduct-conditioned medium (BOCM), the high molecular weight fraction (> 10 KDa) from BOCM was added to 3 chemically defined embryo culture media (TCM199, DMEM/F12 and modified synthetic oviduct fluid [mSOF]). Zygotes were obtained by in vitro maturation and fertilization of oocytes. Conditioning of TCM199 with oviduct cells increased both cleavage to the 5- to 8-cell stage (59 vs 37%) and further development to the blastocyst stage (19 vs 4%). The low molecular weight fraction (< 10 KDa) of BOCM maintained development to the 5- to 8-cell stage but did not allow development to the blastocyst stage. Adding the high molecular weight fraction to the inactive low molecular weight fraction restored bovine embryo development up to the blastocyst stage. This embryotrophic effect of the high molecular weight fraction was not observed when this fraction was added to TCM199 or DMEM/F12 medium. Whereas adding this fraction to mSOF medium significantly (P<0.05) increased embryo development up to the blastocyst stage (36%) in comparison with that of mSOF (15%) or BOCM (14%). These results show that BOCM contains high molecular weight factors promoting embryo development up to the blastocyst stage. Some chemically defined media mask the effect of these embryotrophic factors.
