The ability to cryopreserve in vitro-produced feline embryos was investigated. To improve the survival rate of cryopreserved embryos, first the developmental ability of in vitro fertilized feline zygotes (after removal of intracellular lipids) was determined, followed by the post-thaw survival of cryopreserved blastocysts derived from delipidated zygotes. More than 67% of the delipidated zygotes cleaved and 36% of them developed to the morula stage. The developmental ability of delipidated zygotes to the blastocyst stage (26%) was similar to that of sham-operated (30.5%) or control embryos (31.3%). Although the survival rate of delipidated blastocysts (81.8%) after freezing and thawing tended to be higher than that of control embryos without delipidation (60.6%), rates were not significantly different between the both groups. In conclusion, in vitro-produced feline blastocysts were successfully frozen, removal of the cytoplasmic lipid content in feline zygotes did not impair their in vitro developmental competence (up to the blastocyst stage), and reduction of cytoplasmic lipids by aspiration had no apparent effects on the survival of in vitro-derived blastocysts after cryopreservation. 相似文献

The present series of experiments investigated the effect of a reducing environment created by addition of reduced glutathione (GSH) or thioredoxin (TRX) to in vitro culture medium on the developmental competence of in vitro produced porcine embryos, and their intracellular redox status. Porcine cumulus-oocyte complexes were collected from ovaries matured and fertilized in vitro. The putative zygotes were then cultured for 6 days in modified NCSU-37 medium with or without (control) GSH or TRX, and their developmental competence was evaluated. In addition, the intracellular redox status of the cultured embryos was compared quantitatively using an index based on the ratio of the intracellular GSH content relative to the intracellular H(2)O(2) level. The proportion of embryos that developed to the blastocyst stage was significantly increased when 0.5 or 1.0 microM GSH (29.6% or 30.4%, P < 0.05 or 0.01, respectively) or 1.0 mg/ml TRX (30.6%, P < 0.01) was added to the medium compared to that without any supplementation (control; 20.1%). The intracellular redox status of embryos at the 8- to 12-cell stage or the blastocyst stage in the group cultured in the presence of GSH or TRX was significantly reduced in comparison with the control (P < 0.05 to 0.001). Furthermore, administration of GSH or TRX enhanced the total cell number (from 48.3 to 49.2) and lowered the proportion of apoptotic cells (from 6.2% to 7.0%) in blastocysts compared with the control (cell number 39.3; apoptosis rate 11.1%, P < 0.05). These results suggest that GSH or TRX can improve the in vitro development of porcine embryos, while maintaining an intracellular reductive status. 相似文献

We investigated cAMP content, gap junctional communications (GJCs) status, and LH-receptor (LH-R) expression in porcine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) during in vitro maturation treated with the phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) or with FSH. COCs were cultured for 20 hr (1st culture) in M199 containing 10% FBS (basic medium, BM group) or BM supplemented with FSH (FSH group) or IBMX (IBMX group). Each COC was then transferred into BM containing both FSH and LH and cultured for an additional 24 hr (2nd culture). The proportions of metaphase-II (M-II) oocytes at the end of the 2nd culture did not differ between the FSH (75.7%) and IBMX (68.2%) groups, whereas only 10.1% of oocytes in the BM group reached the M-II stage. During the 1st culture, the cAMP content of COCs and oocytes became significantly higher in the FSH and IBMX groups than in the BM group; the FSH group had a far greater increment than did the IBMX group. GJCs in the FSH and BM groups gradually closed with increasing duration of the 1st culture, whereas a significantly higher proportion of COCs in the IBMX group still had open GJCs than in the other two groups. Furthermore, LH-R mRNA expression significantly increased in both the FSH and IBMX groups compared with the BM group. These results suggest that inhibition of PDEs in porcine COCs make the oocyte ready for release from meiotic arrest, and that maintenance of a moderate cAMP content may prolong GJCs and stimulate LH-R expression. 相似文献
