Abstract
An important method for preserving equine germplasm is the cryopreservation of equine oocytes. Due to its ease, rapidity and affordability, vitrification freezing has taken over as the primary method of horse oocyte cryopreservation. The vitrification cryoprotectants utilized in this investigation were Ethylene glycol (E), Dimethyl sulfoxide (D), Sucrose (S), and Ficoll (F). According to the oocyte volume alteration, the treatment time was 39 s in equilibrium solution ED10 (10 % EG + 10 % DMSO), 32 s in equilibrium solution ED15 (15 % EG + 15 % DMSO), while 20 s in equilibrium solution ED20 (20 % EG + 20 % DMSO). We prepared three kinds of cryosolutions EDFS30 (E15 %+D15 %+70 %FS), EDFS35 (E17.5 % + D17.5 % + 65 %FS), EDFS40 (E20 % + D20 % + 60 %FS) according to the proportion of protectant components. Among 27 freezing protocols, we selected protocol ED10 (39 s) + EDFS30 + 80 s which has the highest in vitro culture maturation rate of 19.3 % while protocol ED20 (20 s) + EDFS40 + 120 s is the worst. Apoptosis gene analysis revealed that BAX, BID, BOK, and TP53 expression was substantially higher in oocytes from the ED20 (20 s) + EDFS40 + 120 s group than in oocytes from the ED10 (39 s) + EDFS30 + 80 s and control groups (p<0.01). This study investigated several vitrification schemes for equine oocytes.
期刊介绍:
Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed.
Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.
