Vitrification of germinal-vesicle stage equine oocytes: Effect of cryoprotectant exposure time on in-vitro embryo production
چکیده انگلیسی
Previous studies have found low rates of blastocyst development (0-11%) after vitrification of germinal vesicle (GV)-stage equine oocytes. In this study, we systematically evaluated a short (non-equilibrating) system for GV-stage oocyte vitrification. In Exp. 1, we assessed oocyte volume in cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) exposed to components of a short protocol, using 2% each of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol in the first solution (VS1); 17.5% of each plus 0.3 M trehalose in the second solution (VS2); and fetal bovine serum as the base medium. Based on the time to oocyte minimum volume, we selected a 40-sec exposure to VS1. In Exp. 2, we evaluated exposure times to VS2 and, based on rates of subsequent maturation in vitro, we selected 65 s. In Exp. 3, we used the optimized vitrification system (40-VS1; 65-VS2) and evaluated three warming procedures. Blastocyst development after ICSI was equivalent (15%) for COCs warmed in either standard (trehalose stepwise dilution) or isotonic (base medium) solutions, but was reduced (0%) for COCs warmed in a highly hypertonic (1.5 M trehalose) solution. Exposure to the vitrification and warming solutions, without actual vitrification, was associated with reduced blastocyst development (0-5%; Exp. 4). We conclude that this optimized short protocol supports moderate blastocyst production after vitrification of GV-stage equine COCs. Oocytes can be warmed in isotonic medium, which simplifies the procedure. The systems used still showed a high level of toxicity and further work is needed on both vitrification and warming methods to increase the efficiency of this technique.
