Comparative analysis of in vitro development of outbred mouse embryos cultured in Krebs-Ringer or tyrode-derived media.

چکیده
Culture media for mouse preimplantation development are usually derived from two basic solutions: Krebs-Ringer and Tyrode. We have used outbred mice (OF1) to make a comparative analysis of derived media of both types and their success in sustaining development from the one-cell to the blastocyst stage. The best results (up to 50%), in terms of overcoming the two-cell block and sustaining development to expanded blastocyst, were obtained with media derived from Tyrode's solution and with Krebs-Ringer-based media in which the high concentrations of certain metabolites (Cl-, K+, Mg2+ and PO(4)3+) were reduced to the values present in the Tyrode-derived media. Interestingly, medium T6 (based on Tyrode and incapable of avoiding developmental block on its own), yielded the best development rate with the addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The addition of glutamine to medium T6 did not have any effect. We further developed T7, a medium based on T6 but incorporating the concentrations of nutrients present in the oviduct. This medium also proved better than its Krebs-Ringer counterpart (MTF), but not better than T6, probably due to the different nutritive requirements in the transition from morula to blastocyst. The two most significant findings were: i) that Tyrode-based formulations were superior to media based on Krebs-Ringer solution, and ii) that medium T6 with EDTA was as effective for mouse egg culture as the recently developed KSOM medium.

Enhancement of NMRI Mouse Embryo Development In vitro
Most of the systematic studies used in the development of human embryo culture media have been done first on mouse embryos. The general use of NMRI outbred mice is a model for toxicology, teratology and pharmacology. NMRI mouse embryo exhibit the two-cell block in vitro. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of four kinds of culture media on the development of zygo...
متن کاملP-63: Comparison of The Efficacy of Two Culture Media (Handmade vs. Commercial) on In Vitro Development of Vitrified and Non-Vitrified Mouse Embryos
Background: While assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs) are considered to be safe, many concerns exist about the safety of these techniques. Two important and indispensable parts of these techniques are in vitro culture and vitrification. While much progress has been made in developing culture conditions, it remains suboptimal. In order to investigate the effect of culture medium on in vitro ...

SUMMARY Since at oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization there is some FF become incorporate to egg, we decided to investigate the effect of this fluid on preimplantation embryo development in vitro. FF was obtained at the time of oocyte retrieval for IVF, centrifuged and then either inactivated by heat and stored at 4°c or without inactivation stored at-20°c until used. Late 2-cell emb...

Many investigators are interested in finding the new cultural systems that can support the in vitro development of pre-implantation embryos better. Previous studies suggested that growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) are important in pre-implantation embryo development and implantation process. On the other hand, it is very important to support post thaw development of frozen em...
