pubmed:abstractText
Mouse and rabbit preimplantation embryos with intact zona pellucida were incubated for 3 hr with DNA-carrying constructs containing insulin as an internalizable ligand: (insulin-polylysine)-DNA and (insulin-polylysine)-DNA-(streptavidin-polylysine)-(biotinylated adenovirus). Video-intensified microscopy demonstrated that the constructs penetrated the zona pellucida and accumulated in the blastomere perinuclear space. The percentage of blastocysts formed was about 70% after incubation of zygotes and two-cell embryos with the constructs. Foreign DNA was detected after 51 hr in 80% of rabbit embryos and after 96 hr in 73% of mouse embryos. Inclusion of various adenoviruses into the construct improved foreign DNA preservation in early embryos. Blot hybridization revealed genome-integrated foreign DNA in 12- and 15-day mouse embryos and in a newborn. Thus, the ligand-mediated mechanism can be employed for introducing foreign genetic material into early mammalian embryos; insulin provides for delivery inside the cell and to the nucleus, while adenoviruses ensure release from endosomes.
