survival assessment of mouse preimplantation embryos after exposure to cell phone radiation

Authors
abstract

background: using cellular phone has rapidly increased all over the world. also, the concern on the possible health hazards of electromagnetic fields (emf) induced from cell phones to reproduction has been growing in many countries. the aim of this study was to assess the consequences and effects of exposure to the cell phone radiation on the quality and survival rates of preimplantation embryos in mice. methods: a total of 40 mice (20 females and 20 males), 6 weeks old and sexually mature balb/c, were used for control and experimental groups. the ovary burses were removed and the zygotes were dissected in the morning after mating. next, 2-cell embryos were divided into two groups of control (n=150) and experimental (n=150). emf (900-1800 mhz) was used for four days in experimental group for 30 min/day in culture at 37°c in a co2 incubator. the quality of embryos was recorded daily and the fluorescent staining was used for identification of viable blastocysts. all data were compared by student’s t-test and mann-whitney test (p<0.05). results: the rate of embryo survival to the blastocysts stage was similar in both groups. however, the percentage of dead embryos at the 2-cell stage was significantly higher in emf-exposed group compared with controls (p=0.03). also, the loss of cell viability significantly increased in experimental blastocysts (p=0.002). conclusion: the normal embryonic development up to the blastocyst stage indicates that emf-exposure commonly did not have adverse effect on embryo development in mice. but, it caused loss of blastocysts cell viability.

Fetal abnormalities produced after preimplantation exposure of mouse embryos to ammonium chloride.

BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to determine whether preimplantation exposure of mouse embryos to ammonium resulted in abnormal fetal development and to evaluate similar risks to the outcome of human assisted conception. METHODS Mouse embryos cultured from the 1-cell stage were exposed to 0.3 mmol/l ammonium chloride for 3 days. Embryos cultured from the 2-cell stage were exposed to 0....

I-13: Transcriptome Dynamics of Human and Mouse Preimplantation Embryos Revealed by Single Cell RNA-Sequencing

Background: Mammalian preimplantation development is a complex process involving dramatic changes in the transcriptional architecture. However, it is still unclear about the crucial transcriptional network and key hub genes that regulate the proceeding of preimplantation embryos. Materials and Methods: Through single-cell RNAsequencing (RNA-seq) of both human and mouse preimplantation embryos, ...

Cell membrane regions in preimplantation mouse embryos.

Cell membrane regions characterized by alkaline phosphatase activity are described in cleaving mouse embryos and early blastocysts. Enzyme activity is demonstrated by light and electron microscopy, from the late 4-cell stage onwards, on the cell surfaces between blastomeres but not on the outer surface of the embryo. Experiments with dissociated morulae show that this is probably not an artifac...
