abstract

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of sucrose on follicular survival rate and the incidence of apoptosis in rat ovarian tissue following vitrification. methods: ovaries of approximately 5-week-old female wistar rats were divided randomly into three groups: control (non-vitrified), vi (ethylene glycol + dimethyl sulfoxide) and vii (eg + dmso + 0.25 mol/lit sucrose). vitrified-warmed samples were incubated for approximately 30 minutes and fixed in bouin’s fixative. the samples were serially sectioned and stained either with h&e or immunohistochemistry kit of anti-active and a pro-caspase-3 kit. results: data analysis showed that the rate of growing follicles that survived, with the exception of primordial follicles, was comparable between the vitrified-warmed and control samples. morphologically healthy primordial follicles showed significant reductions in all vitrification groups compared to the control, however this rate was not significant between the vitrification groups. in comparison with healthy follicles, there were significantly more dead follicles in the vitrification groups than the control group. in addition the apoptotic follicles increased significantly after vitrification, with the exception of the antral follicles. although the number of apoptotic follicles was similar between both vitrification groups, however there were significantly more pre-antral apoptotic follicles in the vii group compared to the vi and control groups. conclusion: according to these results, the presence or absence of sucrose has no significant effect on the preservation of primordial and primary follicles which are important for transplantation.

Human Ovarian Tissue Vitrification/Warming Has Minor Effect on the Expression of Apoptosis-Related Genes

Background: In this study, we evaluated the incidence of apoptosis at the ultrastructural levels and expression of some apoptosis-related genes in vitrified human ovarian tissue just after warming. Methods: Human ovarian tissue biopsies from 23 women after caesarean section were transported to the laboratory within 2 hours, and then they were cut into small pieces. Some pieces were vitrified an...

O-7: Study of Structure and Follicular Maturation,Angiogenic and Apoptotic Genes Expression of Rat Ovarian Tissue After Vitrification and Autotransplantation

Background: Ovarian tissue cryopreservation and autotransplantation is the only fertility preservation way for prepubertal girls and situations that cytotoxic treatment is urgent. Materials and Methods: The ovaries of premature (5 weeks old) rats were autografted under cervical skin after vitrification. 3 weeks later, transplanted ovaries were removed from the body and structure of ovary, expre...

P-23: The Effect of LIF on In Vitro Growth and Apoptosis Incidence in Vitrified Human Ovarian Tissue after 14 days culture

Background The high effectiveness of vitrification, as a cryopreservation protocol, for human oocytes and embryos is shown, whereas data on human ovarian tissue are limited. This study aimed to assessment of follicular growth, ultrastructure, and apoptosis incidence in human ovarian tissue following vitrification/warming and after culture in the presence of LIF.

Good Preservation of Stromal Cells and No Apoptosis in Human Ovarian Tissue after Vitrification

The aim of this study was to develop a vitrification procedure for human ovarian tissue cryopreservation in order to better preserve the ovarian tissue. Large size samples of ovarian tissue retrieved from 15 female-to-male transgender subjects (18-38 years) were vitrified using two solutions (containing propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, and sucrose at different concentrations) in an open syste...
