The toxicity of the cryoprotectant dimethyl sulfoxide (Me(2)SO) to isolated blastomeres was examined in three fish species representative of distinct environments: marine (whiting, Sillago japonica); estuarine (pejerrey, Odontesthes bonariensis); and freshwater (medaka, Oryzias latipes). The effects of embryonic stage, Me(2)SO concentration, and cooling rate on the cryopreservation of blastomeres were also studied. Whiting sheds small planktonic eggs whereas the other two species shed large demersal eggs. Isolated blastomeres from the three species tolerated Me(2)SO concentrations up to 9% relatively well for over 5 h but lost viability rapidly at 18%. Cells from later embryonic stages (512 or 1024 cells) were more tolerant of Me(2)SO than those from earlier stages (128 or 256 cells). The three factors examined, alone or in combination, had a significant effect on the survival of blastomeres after freezing and thawing, but the extent of the effect and the optimum conditions varied with the species. In general, the highest rates of successful cryopreservation were observed with older rather than younger blastomeres, slower rather than faster cooling, and with 9-18% rather than 0% Me(2)SO. Survival rates for blastomeres cryopreserved under the most effective combination of the three factors examined for each species were 19.9 +/- 10.1% for whiting, 34.1 +/- 8.5% for medaka, and 67.4 +/- 12.8% for pejerrey.

Drug metabolism and viability studies in cryopreserved rat hepatocytes   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Rat hepatocytes were cryopreserved optimally by freezing them at 1 degrees C/min to -80 degrees C in cryoprotectant medium containing either 20% (v/v) dimethylsulfoxide (Me2SO) and 25% (v/v) fetal calf serum in Leibowitz L15 medium (Me2SO cryoprotectant) or 25% (v/v) vitrification solution (containing Me2SO, acetamide, propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol) in Leibowitz L15 medium (VS25). The VS25 solution was superior for maintaining viability during short-term storage (24-48 hr) but was slightly toxic during longer storage periods (7 days). Although thawed cells were 40-50% viable on ice after cryopreservation, their viability fell rapidly during incubation in suspension at 37 degrees C. This decline in viability occurred more rapidly after freezing in Me2SO cryoprotectant than in VS25 and was associated with extensive intracellular damage and cell swelling. The loss in viability at 37 degrees C does not appear to be due to ice-crystal damage as it occurred in cells stored at -10 degrees C (above the freezing point of the cryoprotectants) and it may be due to temperature/osmotic shock. Both cryoprotectant media were equally efficient at preserving enzyme activities in the hepatocytes over 7 days at -80 degrees C. Cytochrome P450 and reduced glutathione content and the activities of the microsomal enzymes responsible for aminopyrine N-demethylation and epoxide hydrolysis were well maintained over 7 days storage. In contrast, the cytosolic enzymes glutathione-S-transferase and glutathione reductase were markedly labile during cryopreservation. Cytosolic enzymes may be more susceptible to ice-crystal damage, whereas the microsomal membrane may protect the enzymes which are embedded in it.  相似文献

Rat hepatocytes were cryopreserved in hormonally-defined medium (HDM) containing either fetal bovine serum (FBS), glycerol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), sucrose or a mixture of these as a cryoprotectant. The best survival was with 10% (v/v) DMSO containing 30% (v/v) FBS using 5 x 10(5) hepatocytes ml(-1) at -70 degrees C for 5 d on type I collagen-coated dishes. After thawing, the cell viability was 81% determined by the MTT-test. The cryopreserved hepatocytes had the capacity of albumin synthesis similar to hepatocytes without cryopreservation. This result shows that cryopreservation of rat hepatocyte can be used for the evaluation of hepatic functions.  相似文献

Effective techniques for the cryopreservation of porcine preadipocytes could increase the usefulness of these cells as a model in obesity studies. The objective of this study was to test the effects of the following cryoprotective agents (CPAs) on the cytotoxicity, post-thaw survival, proliferation and differentiation capacity of porcine preadipocytes: ethylene glycol (EG), dimethyl sulphoxide (Me2SO), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), Me2SO+PVP, and no-CPA. In addition to the CPAs, the CPA medium contained 80% DMEM/F12 plus 10% FBS. Trypan blue exclusion tests showed that among the CPA treatments in this study, only EG was toxic to porcine preadipocytes. The highest survival rate (94.96%) and cell viability were obtained when preadipocytes were cryopreserved with 10% PVP. Morphologically, PVP cryopreserved preadipocytes resembled fibroblasts and most underwent attachment, proliferation, and growth arrest with subsequent accumulation of intracellular lipid droplets before becoming mature adipocytes. There were no significant differences in the GPDH activity between adipocytes in the PVP treatment and primary cells from days 3 to 10 of the culture. Analysis of RT-PCR confirmed that there was no significant difference of PPARgamma2 mRNA levels between the cells in the 10% PVP treatment and primary cells. In summary, porcine preadipocytes cryopreserved with DMEM/F12 medium containing 10% PVP and 10% FBS have high survival rate and proliferation potential. Furthermore, the cryopreserved cells synthesize a range of markers that are consistent with this cell type. We conclude that 10% PVP is a suitable CPA for porcine preadipocytes.  相似文献

Various cooling and warming rates were investigated to determine the optimum conditions for cryopreserving the intraerythrocytic stages of Plasmodium chabaudi. Infected blood, equilibrated in 10% v/v glycerol at 37 degrees C or in 15% v/v Me2SO at 0 degree C for 10 min, was cryopreserved using cooling rates between 1 and 5100 degrees C min-1. After overnight storage in liquid nitrogen the samples were warmed at 12,000 degrees C min-1. Warming rates between 1 and 12,000 degrees C min-1 were investigated using samples previously cooled at 3600 degrees C min-1. After thawing, the glycerol and Me2SO were removed by dilution in 15% v/v glucose-supplemented phosphate-buffered saline. Survival was assayed by inoculation of groups of five mice each with 10(6) infected cells and the time taken to reach a level of 2% parasitemia estimated. The optimum cooling rate was 3600 degrees C min-1 for parasites frozen using either 10% glycerol or 15% Me2SO; the pre-2% patent periods were 0.90 and 1.01 days above control values (representing survival levels of 21 and 17.5%, respectively). The optimum warming rate was 12,000 degrees C min-1; the pre-2% patent periods were 1.01 and 1.32 days above control values, respectively (18 and 10% survival), for glycerol and Me2SO. With ethanediol (5% v/v) and sucrose (15% w/v) as cryoprotectants the optimum warming rates were also 12,000 degrees C min-1 while the optimum cooling rates were 330 and 3600 degrees C min-1, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Cryopreservation protocols for umbilical cord blood have been based on methods established for bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC). The a priori assumption that these methods are optimal for progenitor cells from UCB has not been investigated systematically. Optimal cryopreservation protocols utilising penetrating cryoprotectants require that a number of major factors are controlled: osmotic damage during the addition and removal of the cryoprotectant; chemical toxicity of the cryoprotectant to the target cell and the interrelationship between cryoprotectant concentration and cooling rate. We have established addition and elution protocols that prevent osmotic damage and have used these to investigate the effect of multimolar concentrations of Me(2)SO on membrane integrity and functional recovery. We have investigated the effect of freezing and thawing over a range of cooling rates and cryoprotectant concentrations. CD34(+) cells tolerate up to 60 min exposure to 25% w/w (3.2M) Me(2)SO at +2 degrees C with no significant loss in clonogenic capacity. Exposure at +20 degrees C for a similar period of time induced significant damage. CD34(+) cells showed an optimal cooling range between 1 degrees C and 2.5 degrees C/min. At or above 1 degrees C/min, increasing the Me(2)SO concentration above 10% w/w provided little extra protection. At the lowest cooling rate tested (0.1 degrees C/min), increasing the Me(2)SO concentration had a statistically significant beneficial effect on functional recovery of progenitor cells. Our findings support the conclusion that optimal recovery of CD34(+) cells requires serial addition of Me(2)SO, slow cooling at rates between 1 degrees C and 2.5 degrees C/min and serial elution of the cryoprotectant after thawing. A concentration of 10% w/w Me(2)SO is optimal. At this concentration, equilibration temperature is unlikely to be of practical importance with regard to chemical toxicity.  相似文献

The cryoprotectants dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) and glycerol have been used for the cryopreservation of fetal rat pancreases but only Me2SO has been reported for the cryopreservation of adult rat islets. Since glycerol may be preferred to Me2SO for clinical use, this study was undertaken to compare the effectiveness of these cryoprotectants during the slow cooling of isolated adult rat islets. Islets of Langerhans prepared from the pancreases of WAG rats by collagenase digestion were stored at -196 degrees C after slow cooling (0.3 degrees C/min) to -70 degrees C in the presence of multimolar concentrations of either Me2SO or glycerol. Samples were rewarmed slowly (approximately 10 degrees C/min) and dilution of the cryoprotectant was achieved using medium containing sucrose. Function was assessed by determination of the time course of the glucose-induced insulin release during in vitro perifusion at 37 degrees C and also by isograft transplantation. Transplants were carried out by intraportal injection of a minimum of 1700 frozen and thawed islets into streptozotocin-induced diabetic recipients and tissue function was assessed by monitoring blood glucose levels and body weight changes. Without exception the islets frozen and thawed in the presence of glycerol failed to reduce high serum glucose levels of recipient rats and in vitro dynamic release curves showed to demonstrate a glucose-sensitive insulin release pattern. Reversal of the diabetic conditions was achieved in two of five animals receiving islets which had been frozen and thawed with 2 M Me2SO; and in one of three animals receiving islets cryopreserved with 3 M Me2SO. Nevertheless, perifusion studies showed that the pattern of insulin secretion from groups of cryopreserved islets which did show an ability to secrete insulin was atypical compared with that of untreated controls, suggesting that the tissue was altered or damaged in some way.  相似文献

This study examined whether tissue vitrification, promoted by partitioning within the tissue, could be the mechanism explaining the high viability of rat liver slices, rapidly frozen after preincubation with 18% Me2SO or VS4 (a 7.5 M mixture of Me2SO, 1,2-propanediol, and formamide with weight ratio 21.5:15:2.4). To achieve this, we first determined the extent to which crystallization or vitrification occurred in cryoprotectant solutions (Me2SO and VS4) and within liver slices impregnated with these solutions. Second, we determined how these events were related to survival of slices after thawing. Water crystallization was evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry and viability was determined by histomorphological examination of the slices after culturing at 37 degrees C for 4 h. VS4-preincubated liver slices indeed behaved differently from bulk VS4 solution, because, when vitrified, they had a lower tendency to devitrify. Vitrified VS4-preincubated slices that were warmed sufficiently rapid to prevent devitrification had a high viability. When VS4 was diluted (to 75%) or if warming was not fast enough to prevent ice formation, slices had a low viability. With 45% Me2SO, low viability of cryopreserved slices was caused by cryoprotectant toxicity. Surprisingly, liver slices preincubated with 18% Me2SO or 50% VS4 had a high viability despite the formation of ice within the slice. In conclusion, tissue vitrification provides a mechanism that explains the high viability of VS4-preincubated slices after ultrarapid freezing and thawing (>800 degrees C/min). Slices that are preincubated with moderately concentrated cryoprotectant solutions (18% Me2SO, 50% VS4) and cooled rapidly (100 degrees C/min) survive cryopreservation despite the formation of ice crystals within the slice.  相似文献

To enrich bovine gonocytes from cryopreserved testicular tissues, the cryoprotection effects of the freezing media containing knockout serum replacement (KSR) were examined. Using Minimum essential medium (MEM) + 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) as the basic medium, calf testicular tissues were cryopreserved in media containing 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 90% KSR and 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS) respectively. Morphologically, the seminiferous cords and interstitium were well preserved in all groups. The gonocytes were all glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family receptor α-1 (GFRα-1) positive. The recovery rates in all KSR groups were higher than that of the 10% Me2SO group, while comparable to the 5% FBS group. The enriched gonocytes expressed gonocyte marker GFRα-1 typically. Collectively, supplementation of 5–10% KSR can achieve comparable cryoprotective effects with using 5% FBS, which is useful in future study due to its defined formulation that is more consistent in quality and stable in supply.  相似文献

Investigation of a possibility of long-term storage of frozen (-196 degrees C) viable neurons and nervous tissue is one of the central present day problems. In this study ultrastructural changes in neurons of frozen-thawed snail brain were examined as a function of time. We studied the influence of cryopreservation, cryoprotectant (Me2SO), cooling to 4-6 degrees C, and a prolonged incubation in physiological solution at 4-6 degrees C on dictyosomes of Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) cisternae and mitochondria. It has been found that responses of these intracellular structures of cryopreserved neurons to the above influences are similar: dissociation of Golgi dictyosomes, swelling of endoplasmic reticulum cisternae and mitochondrial cristae. Both freezing-thawing and cryoprotectant were seen to cause an increase in the number of lysosomes, liposomes, myelin-like structures, and to form large vacuoles. The structural changes in molluscan neurons caused by cryopreservation with Me2SO (2 M) were reversible.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to examine effects of altering thawing conditions and procedure of addition and dilution of Me2SO on the viability of frozen-thawed rabbit morulae. Five hundred and sixty two rabbit morulae were cooled from room temperature to -80 degrees C at 1 degree C/min in the presence of 1.5 M dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) using a programmable liquid nitrogen vapor freezing machine with an automatic seeding device, cooled rapidly, and stored in liquid nitrogen. When Me2SO was added in a single step, the frozen embryos were thawed in ambient air at 40 degrees C/min and Me2SO was diluted in a single step, 99 of 107 (93%) embryos cultured for 48 hr and 12 of 32 (38%) embryos transferred to 6 recipients developed to expanding blastocysts and viable fetuses, respectively. When Me2SO was added in a single step and the frozen embryos were thawed at the same rate and transferred directly without removal of Me2SO to culture media or oviducts of 8 recipients, 67 of 75 (89%) embryos cultured and 12 of 40 (30%) embryos transferred developed to expanding blastocysts and viable fetuses, respectively. There were no significant differences between these survival rates and survival rates obtained by conventional method, i.e., frozen embryos were thawed at 4 degrees C/min by interrupted slow method and Me2SO was added and diluted in a stepwise manner.  相似文献

Cryopreservation of fetal skin is improved by extracellular trehalose   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
Erdag G  Eroglu A  Morgan J  Toner M 《Cryobiology》2002,44(3):167-228
In this study, we tested a non-permeating cryoprotectant, trehalose, in combination with dimethyl sulfoxide (Me(2)SO) in the cryopreservation of human fetal skin and compared it to Me(2)SO and glycerol, protocols that are routinely used by skin banks. The viability of fetal skin from four groups (fresh, and cryopreserved with glycerol, Me(2)SO, or trehalose/Me(2)SO) were evaluated using an in vitro membrane integrity assay and by transplantation to immunodeficient mice. The membrane integrity assay showed a 90% integrity in fresh, unfrozen fetal skin. The number of intact cells dropped to 23 and 44% in fetal skin cryopreserved with glycerol and Me(2)SO, respectively. When trehalose was added to the cryopreservation medium containing Me(2)SO, the membrane integrity rose to 65%. When transplanted to immunodeficient mice, fetal skin cryopreserved with trehalose/Me(2)SO showed a graft performance indistinguishable from fresh unfrozen fetal skin and strikingly better graft take than that of fetal skin cryopreserved with Me(2)SO or glycerol only. These results suggest that cryopreservation protocols routinely used the skin banks can be improved by combining sugars such as trehalose with a permeating cryoprotectant.  相似文献

Dispersed canine pancreatic grafts were cryopreserved and the in vivo function was studied following intrasplenic autotransplantation. Four protocols were employed, examining the effects of cooling and thawing rates and cryoprotectant (dimethylsulfoxide) concentration on graft survival. The degree of graft injury by each protocol was assessed by examining the requirement for exogenous insulin following transplantation. Cooling at 5 degrees C/min and thawing at 80 degrees C/min allowed three successful grafts from seven when thawed at 80 degrees C/min using 1.4 or 2 M Me2SO but only one success from eight when thawed at 8 degrees C/min. Of the seven experiments where successful preservation was achieved graft injury was estimated as less than 50% in four but for three it was probably greater than 50%. Each protocol exhibited considerable variability of islet survival. When sufficient islet mass was transplanted to restore fasting euglycaemia, graft function, as assessed by glucose-stimulated insulin release and intravenous glucose disposal, was identical to fresh grafts. Successful graft implantation, however, does not guarantee indefinite survival as six of seven grafts in this study became exhausted within 13 months of implantation.  相似文献

Evidence has accumulated that periosteal cells have a great potential to regenerate bone. We have demonstrated that cultured periosteum (CP) in membrane form is an effective device to regenerate alveolar bone. To increase the availability of CP in a clinical environment, an effective cryopreservation protocol for CP has been developed. In this study, three different cryoprotectants (Me(2)SO, glycerol, and ethylene glycol) were used. The effect on cell viability of pre-incubation temperature, pre-incubation time, and agitation during incubation was investigated. Samples were stored at -196 degrees C for 10 days. Cell viability was assessed by a colorimetric cell viability assay using a tetrazolium salt, and the assay results were confirmed by confocal laser scanning microscopy after staining with a combination of calcein AM and ethidium homodimer-1. The activity of the cells after thawing was assessed by alkaline phosphatase assay. To assess the osteogenic potential of cryopreserved CP, the CP was grafted to calvarial defects in athymic rats. The greatest cell viability was obtained in the group equilibrated at 37 degrees C for 30 min with Me(2)SO, under agitation, showing 63.3 +/- 10.5% recovery. After cryopreservation, the cell growth of surviving cells was identical when Me(2)SO was used as a cryoprotectant. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was maintained in the groups cryopreserved with Me(2)SO and glycerol. The transplantation experiment showed that the calvarial defects were completely closed by grafting cryopreserved CP, which demonstrates that the osteogenic property of CP was well maintained. An efficient cryopreservation protocol for CP has been developed and this will provide a convenient and effective treatment option for bone regeneration in clinics.  相似文献

Vitrification media: toxicity,permeability, and dielectric properties   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9  
The aim of this study was to select a cryoprotectant for use in attempts to preserve tissues and organs by vitrification. The first step was to select a cell line with which to compare the toxicity of a range of commonly used cryoprotectants. An immortal vascular endothelial cell (ECV304) was exposed to vitrifying concentrations of four cryoprotectants: dimethyl sulfoxide (Me(2)SO; 45% w/w); 2,3 butanediol (BD; 32%); 1,2-propanediol (PD; 45%); and ethanediol (ED; 45%). Three times of exposure (1, 3, and 9 min) and two temperatures (22 and 2-4 degrees C) were studied. After removal of the cryoprotectant, the ability of the cells to adhere and divide in culture over a 2-day period was measured and expressed as a Cell Survival Index (CSI). There was no measurable loss of cells after exposure to the four cryoprotectants but 3-min exposure to BD, PD, or Me(2)SO at room temperature completely destroyed the ability of the cells to adhere and divide in culture. In contrast, exposure to all four cryoprotectants at 2-4 degrees C for up to 9 min permitted the retention of significant cell function, the CSIs, as a proportion of control, being 76.3+/-7.0% for BD, 63.6+/-7.1% for PD, 37.0+/-4.1 for Me(2)SO, and 33.2+/-3.0 for ED. The permeability properties of the cells for these four cryoprotectants was also measured at each temperature. Permeability to water was high, L(p) approximately equal 10(-7) cm/s/atm at 2-4 degrees C with all the cryoprotectants, but there were substantial differences in solute permeability: BD and PD were the most permeable at 2-4 degrees C (P(s)=4.1 and 3.0 x 10(-6) cm/s, respectively). Equilibration of intracellular cryoprotectant concentration was rapid, due in part to high water permeability; the cells were approximately 80% of their physiological volume after 10 min. Treatment at 2-4 degrees C with BD was the least damaging, but PD was not significantly worse. Exposure to vitrifying concentrations of ED and Me(2)SO, even at 2-4 degrees C, was severely damaging. Segments of rabbit carotid artery were treated with vitrifying concentrations of each of the two most favorable cryoprotectants, BD and PD, for 9 min. It was shown that each cryoprotectant reduced smooth muscle maximum contractility to a similar extent and abolished the acetylcholine response. However, vital staining revealed that exposure to BD also caused substantial damage to the endothelial lining, whereas the endothelium was completely intact after PD exposure, raising the possibility that the effect of PD on NO release may be reversible. In later stages of this project it is planned to use dielectric heating to rewarm the tissues and thereby avoid devitrification. The effects of each cryoprotectant on this mode of heating was therefore studied. Gelatin spheres containing vitrifiable concentrations of each cryoprotectant were rewarmed from -60 degrees C in a radiofrequency applicator. Because the uniformity of heating is related to the dielectric properties of the material, these properties were also measured. PD was the most suitable. These physical measurements, combined with the measurements of toxicity and permeability, indicate that PD is the most favorable cryoprotectant of those tested for use in subsequent stages of this study.  相似文献

Larvae of the sea urchin, Evechinus chloroticus, at varying stages of development, were assessed for their potential to survive cryopreservation. Ethylene glycol (EG) and dimethyl sulphoxide (Me2SO), at concentrations of 1-2 M, were evaluated as cryoprotectants (CPAs) in freezing regimes initially based on methods established for freezing larvae of other sea urchin species. Subsequent work varied cooling rate, holding temperature, holding time, and plunge temperature. Ethylene glycol was less toxic to larvae than Me2SO. However, no larvae survived freezing and thawing in EG. Larvae frozen in Me2SO at the gastrula stage and 4-armed pluteus stage regained motility post-thawing. The most successful freezing regime cooled straws containing larvae in 1.5 M Me2SO from 0 to -35 degrees C at 2.5 degrees C min(-1), held at -35 degrees C for 5 min, then plunged straws into liquid nitrogen. Motility was high 2-4 h post-thawing using this regime but decreased markedly within 24 h. Some 4-armed pluteus larvae that survived beyond this time developed through to metamorphosis and settled. Different Me2SO concentrations and supplementary trehalose did not improve long-term survival. Large variation in post-thaw survival was observed among batches of larvae produced from different females.  相似文献

With the purpose of finding an ideal cryoprotectant or combination of cryoprotectants in a suitable concentration for flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) embryo cryopreservation, we tested the toxicities, at culture temperature (16 degrees C), of five most commonly used cryoprotectants-dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO), glycerol, methanol (MeOH), 1,2-propylene glycol (PG) and ethylene glycol (EG). In addition, cryoprotective efficiency to flounder embryos of individual and combined cryoprotectants were tested at -15 degrees C for 60 min. Five different concentrations of each of the five cryoprotectants and 20 different combinations of these cryoprotectants were tested for their protective efficiency. The results showed that the toxicity to flounder embryos of the five cryoprotectants are in the following sequence: PG < MeOH < Me2SO < glycerol < EG (P < 0.05); whereas the protective efficiency of each cryoprotectant, at -15 degrees C for a period of 60 min, are in the following sequence: PG > Me2SO approximately MeOH approximately glycerol > EG (greater symbols mean P < 0.05, and approximate symbols mean P > 0.05). Methanol combined with any one of the other cryoprotectants gave the best protection, while ethylene glycol combined with any one of the other cryoprotectants gave the poorest protection at -15 degrees C. Toxicity effect was concentration dependent with the lowest concentration being the least toxic for all five cryoprotectants at 16 degrees C. For PG, MeOH and glycerol, 20% solutions gave the best protection at -15 degrees C; whereas a 15% solution of Me2SO, and a 10% solution of EG, gave the best protection at -15 degrees C.  相似文献

Cryopreservation of tissue-engineered human dermal replacement plays an important role in skin tissue engineering and skin banking. With the inspection of electronic scanning microscope and viability evaluation by Trypan Blue staining assay and the tetrazolium salt, MTT (3-[4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay, this study investigated the toxicity of Me(2)SO to dermal fibroblasts and effects of cryoprotectant concentration and cooling rate on the viability of dermal replacement. The results demonstrated that the Me(2)SO toxicity to fibroblasts was affected by the exposure time, temperature, and concentration. Furthermore adding cryoprotectant solution at low temperature of 4 degrees C significantly reduced the toxic effect on the tissue-engineered dermal equivalent. An optimal cryopreservation protocol consisting of cooling rate at 1 degrees Cmin(-1) in 10% (V/V) Me(2)SO was derived, with the viability of studied dermal equivalent treated by this protocol being 75% of that of fresh control. The micrograph obtained by electronic scanning microscope also confirmed this result.  相似文献

In order to develop cryopreservation techniques for Japanese pearl oyster spermatozoa, the effects of various cryopreservation conditions on post-thaw motility were examined. Spermatozoa cryopreserved with 10% methanol (MET), dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide plus 90% diluent comprising 80% seawater and 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS) showed higher percentages of post-thaw motility than those cryopreserved with 10% dimethylsulfoxide or glycerol. When spermatozoa were cryopreserved with various concentrations (0-20%) of MET and 100-80% diluent, 10% MET showed the highest percentages of post-thaw motility. When spermatozoa were cryopreserved with 10% MET and 90% diluent comprising various concentrations (0-100%) of FBS or Ringer solution mixed with seawater, the percentages of post-thaw motility peaked at 20% FBS or Ringer solution, and were significantly higher for 20% FBS than for 20% Ringer solution. The percentages of post-thaw motility increased with increasing dilution ratios from 2.5- to 50-fold. Spermatozoa cooled to -50 degrees C and then immersed in liquid nitrogen (LN) showed higher post-thaw motility than those cooled to -30 degrees C or -40 degrees C. When spermatozoa were cryopreserved to -50 degrees C at various cooling rates by changing the sample height above the LN surface, the post-thaw motilities of spermatozoa cooled at 10 cm (cooling rate: -21.3 degrees C/min) and 12.5 cm (-15.6 degrees C/min) from the LN surface were higher than those at 5, 7.5 or 15 cm. These results indicate that 10% MET plus 90% diluent comprising 80% seawater and 20% FBS is a suitable extender for cryopreservation of Japanese pearl oyster spermatozoa and that samples should be cooled to -50 degrees C at a cooling rate between -15 and -20 degrees C/min for efficient storage.  相似文献
