چکیده
To discuss the effect of co-culture on the quality of mouse blastocysts and their epigenetic modification. We divided mouse zygotes into three co-culture experiment groups : with granular cells (group I ), oviduct epithelium cells (group II) and oviduct tissue (group III). Meanwhile, we set up control A (cultured in vitro, only KSOM (KCl+ simplex optimized medium)) and control B (cultured in vivo). Then we compared cleavage rate and blastocyst rate among different groups. After that we evaluated the quality of blastocysts by using ICM/TE (Inner cell mass/Trophectoderm cells) ratio via staining with propidium iodide and Hoechest333258, and analyzed the level of genome methylation and histone acetylation by immunofluorescence. Compared with the control group A, the co-culture groups had increased cleavage rate and blastocyst rate (P < 0.05), blastocyst cells and the ICM/TE ratio of co-culture groups were higher (P < 0.05), the level of genome methylation and histone acetylation had no significant difference between groups in vitro (P > 0.05), but the level of genome methylation in vivo was significantly higher than that of in vitro (P < 0.05). The co-culture methods can successfully promote the development rate of embryos in vitro, and improve the quality of the blastocyst. However, the methods have drawbacks in changing the abnormal genome methylation with in vitro culture.

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-94: Mouse Embryo Vitrification Cannot Effect on Global DNA Methylation in Preimplantation Stage
Background: Embryo vitrification was effectively used for assisted reproductive techniques. Despite the undeniable benefits of vitrification, cooling and warming stress, and cytotoxicity of cryoprotectant may affect the DNA methylation that have an important role in gene activation and silencing. In the present study effects of 2-cell embryo vitrification on DNA methylation in hatched blastocys...
متن کاملP-98: Effect of Mouse Embryo Vitrification on Histone Modifications
Background: Vitrification has been usually used as an assisted reproductive technology in animals and humans. This method needs high concentrations of cryoprotectants that can be toxic with high cooling degrees. Then, vitrification could be change histone modifications such as methylation and acetylation can performance as regulatory controls of gene transcription. So, the purpose of the presen...
