comparison of different vitrification procedures on developmental competence of mouse germinal vesicle oocytes in the presence or absence of cumulus cells

Authors
abstract

background: an evaluation of the developmental competence of vitrified mouse germinal vesicle (gv) oocytes with various equilibration and vitrification times; in the presence or absence of cumulus cells and by comparison between the cryotop method and straws was performed. materials and methods: mouse gv oocytes were considered in cumulus-denuded oocytes (cdos) and cumulus-oocyte complexes (cocs) groups. their survival and developmental rates were studied in the following experiments: (i) exposure to different equilibration times (0, 3 and 5 minutes) and vitrification (1, 3 and 5 minutes) without plunging in ln2 as toxicity tests, (ii) oocytes were vitrified using straws followed by exposure to equilibration solution for 0, 3 and 5 minutes and vitrification solution for 1 and 3 minutes, and (iii) oocytes were vitrified by cryotop following exposure to equilibration for 5 minutes and vitrification for 1 minute, respectively. results: maturation and developmental rates of the cocs were higher than cdos in the nonvitrified group (p<0.05). the survival and maturation rates were low in all oocytes exposed to vitrification solution for 5 minutes (p <0.05). in vitrified cdos and cocs using straws, the survival rates ranged from 56.9% to 85.4% and 44.0% to 84.5%, and the maturation rates from 35.3% to 56.8% and 25.8% to 56.2%, respectively; which were lower than non-vitrified samples (p <0.05). cryotop vitrified oocytes showed higher survival, maturation and fertilization rates when compared to straw in both cdos and cocs (p <0.05). conclusion: the presence of cumulus cells improves developmental competence of gv oocytes in control groups but it did not affect the vitrified group. vitrification of mouse gv oocytes using cryotop was more effective than straws, however both vitrification techniques did not improve the cleavage rate.

the effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation

in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.

the effects of cumulus cells on in vitro maturation of mouse germinal vesicle stage oocytes

background: in vitro maturation (ivm) of oocytes is a promising technique to reduce the costs and avert the side-effects of gonadotropin stimulation for in vitro fertilization (ivf). the pregnancy rates from oocytes matured in vitro are much lower than those of in vivo stimulation cycles, indicating that optimization of ivm remains a challenge. objective: in this study, we investigated the effe...

Vitrification of human germinal vesicle oocytes; before or after in vitro maturation?

Background The utilization of immature oocytes derived from stimulated cycles could be of great importance, specially for urgent fertility preservation cases. The aim of the current study was to determine whether in-vitro maturation is more successful before or after the vitrification of these oocytes. MaterialsAndMethods The study was performed in a private IVF center. 318 germinal vesicle (GV...
