Abstract: Objective The experimental mice were induced to be diabetes mellitus (DM) mice through streptozotocin (STZ) intraperitoneal injection, in order to study the effect of maternal hyperglycemia on early mouse embryo development by in vitro fertilization. Methods ICR mice aged 6~8 weeks were intraperitoneally injected with STZ to established DM models, and the normal mice were considered as control group . The model mice were superovulated by intraperitoneal injection with PMSG and hCG, then the oocytes were fertilized with sperms from normal male mice in vitro. The rates of fertilization were counted and 2-cell embryos were transferred to pseudopregnant mice. Finally 14- dold embryos were obtained to extract. total RNA. After detected by Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer system, total RNA were reversed transcription, labeled, hybridized, eluted and the data of microarray was scanned by Affymetrix Scanner 3000. Basic data were read by Command Console Software 3.1. The experiments were repeated three times, then the expression of genes between treated group and control group were compared. Results The ratio of two-cell embryo in hyperglycemia group (52.3%), was significantly lower than that in the control group (77.2%) (P<0.01). A total of 121 differentially expressed genes (P<0.05) were screened out. One hundred and nineteen genes expression levels of the experimental group was less 0.5 times than those of the control group, while 2 genes showed a more than 2-fold up regulation. Conclusion After oocytes of model mice fertilizing with sperms of normal male mice in HTF, the rate of embryo developing to two-cell was lower than normal mice. The higher of blood glucose level, the lower of two-cell rate. The growth and development of the oocytes were affected by maternal diabetes environment through up-regulating the metabolism-related genes and down-regulated development-relating genes .
