    Mitochondria are the key generators of cellular ATP, and contain extranuclear genome-mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). In the process of nuclear transfer (NT), heteroplasmic sources of mtDNA from a donor cell and a recipient oocyte are mixed in the cytoplasm of the reconstituted embryo. Previous studies showed inconsistent patterns of mtDNA inheritance in offspring and early fetuses generated through interspecies NT. The quantitative analysis of mitochondrial RNA (mtRNA) in interspecies cloned embryos is useful for better understanding the fate of two types of mitochondria. The components of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) dehydrogenase were coded by both nuclear DNA (nDNA) and mtDNA. The Subunit 1 (ND-1) is one of seven NADH dehydrogenase subunits coded by mtDNA. In present study, using real-time and reverse-transcription PCR, the copy number of species-specific ND-1 mRNA was examined in goat-sheep cloned embryos of various developmental stages, and was applied to evaluate the expression pattern of species-specific mtDNA. The results of showed that (1) the expression of mtDNA derived from goat fetal fibroblast (GFF) decreased from 1-cell stage (immediately after fused) to 2-cell stage, and could not be detected from 4-cell stage onward to blastocyst stage; (2) the expression of mtDNA derived from sheep oocyte was roughly constant from 1-cell stage to the 8-cell stage, increased gradually from 16-cell stage, and sharply at morula and blastocyst stage. Moreover, we strongly argued a mechanism, that is GFF-derived mitochondria were degraded for the depression of bioenergetic functions, and then selectively eliminated during the embryogenesis of goat-sheep cloned embryos.
