Vitrification of Culter alburnus Embryos by Laser-Assisted Warming with Gold Nanorods

ABSTRACT: Cryopreservation of fish embryos is highly challenging, and to date, successful reports of fish embryo cryopreservation remain scarce. In this study, we optimized the vitrification solution and employed gold nanorods (GNRs) in a laser-assisted warming process to improve the hatching rate of Culter alburnus embryos after cryopreservation. With V11 vitrification solution (15% DMSO, 10% EG, 15% PG, and 1 mM MT) and a laser-assisted warming condition (25 μg/mL GNRs with continuous 15 W laser irradiation), we achieved rapid and homogeneous warming, and the mean hatching rate of cryopreserved embryos reached 18.83%. RNA-seq revealed that above cryopreservation procedure led to significant transcriptional changes in calcium signaling pathways and apoptosis-related genes, which may facilitate further optimization of vitrification solution. This study provides a basis for further improving the efficiency of embryo cryopreservation in Culter alburnus and other fish species.

Direct comparison of effects of slow-freezing and vitrification procedures on rabbit late blastocyst transcriptome

Project description:Nowadays there is a need to improve cryopreservation protocols in both human assisted reproduction and domestic animal field. We wanted to compare the transcriptomic changes induced by two commonly used cryopreservation procedures (slow freezing and vitrification) on rabbit late blastocyst before the onset of implantation. We recovered rabbit morulae at day 3 of development, freezing or vitrified and transferred them into recipient maternal tracts till day 6 of development. In this way, we wanted to analyse if different cryopreservation techniques produce different effects on gene expression that embryos are unable to get over after three days of in vivo development.

Vitrification alters fetal development by profound differences during fetal placenta formation

Project description:Vitrification is replacing slow freezing as the most popular method for human embryo cryopreservation in clinics world-wide. Several studies demonstrated that cryopreservation alters gene expression of mammalian embryos, but none of them analysed what happen with those embryos that get implanted and follow with the gestation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitrification technique on rabbit embryonic and fetal development by performing a transcriptomic analysis of 6 day old embryos and 14 days old fetal placentas. Effect of vitrification on late blastocyst and fetal placenta transcriptome. Four indepent replicates were performed for each condition (control and vitrified) and for both tissues (embryo and fetal placenta).

Improving vitrification efficiency of human in vitro matured oocytes by the addition of LEA proteins

Project description:Vitrification cryopreservation of oocytes is an enabling technology for assisted reproductive technology. However, many factors in the vitrification process, such as the toxicity of cryoprotectant, osmotic stress, ice crystal formation during rewarming, will cause fatal damage to oocytes, thus affecting the embryo developmental potential and subsequent clinical outcomes. Therefore, oocyte vitrification still faces significant challenges. Recent studies have shown that LEA protein has the potential to improve oocyte cryopreservation, while the molecular mechanism by which it exerts protective effects is still unclear. Therefore, we have systematically investigated the effects of LEA proteins on the vitrification cryopreservation and their molecular mechanisms. Results revealed that the proteins improved the developmental potential of human oocytes following cryopreservation, mostly by downregulating FOS genes and reducing oxidative stress. Moreover, the synergistic cryoprotection of LEA proteins by inhibiting the formation of ice crystals was given full play. This study provides a new strategy for high-quality cryopreservation of human oocytes.

Effect of vitrification on global gene expression dynamics of bovine elongating embryos

Project description:Embryo vitrification involves exposure to high concentrations of cryoprotectants and osmotic stress during cooling and warming. A multitude of these factors have the potential of affecting gene expression. In this study, in vitro produced bovine embryos at the blastocyst stage were submitted to vitrification. Four recipients each were used for transferring non-vitrified (80) and vitrified (80) embryos. Twelve non-vitrified and nine vitrified viable day-14 (D14) embryos were recovered by uterine flushing. RNA-seq analysis of whole embryo or isolated trophectoderm (TE) from vitrified and fresh recovered D14 embryos revealed a total of 927 genes changed their expression as a result of vitrification, among them 782 and 145 genes were up- and down-regulated, respectively. In TE isolates, vitrification resulted in 4,096 and 280 up- and down-regulated genes, respectively. In addition, we found 671 and 61 genes commonly up- and down-regulated in both vitrified whole embryo and TE. Commonly up-regulated pathways by vitrification included epithelial adherens junctions, sirtuin signaling, germ cell-sertoli cell junction, ATM signaling, NER, and protein ubiquitination pathways. The commonly down-regulated pathways included EIF2 signaling, oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial dysfunction, regulation of eIF4 and p70S6K signaling, mTOR signaling, sirtuin singling, and NER pathways. Our analysis identified specific pathways and implicated specific gene expression patterns important to cryopreservation affecting embryo developmental competence.

Cryopreservation of human spermatozoa using penetrating cryoprotectant-free vitrification medium exhibits altered proteomic profile compared to conventional rapid freezing method

Project description:Vitrification is not considered as ideal method for cryopreservation of human spermatozoa due to the presence of high concentrations of penetrating cryoprotectants in the vitrification medium. Several studies in the literature suggest that the outcome of semen cryopreservation is superior when cryopreserved using conventional rapid freezing protocol compared to vitrification. The present study was aimed at assessing the functional and proteomic changes in the human spermatozoa cryopreserved in vitrification medium without penetrating cryoprotectant. Leftover ejaculates (n = 71) from men visiting the andrology laboratory for routine semen analysis were used. The liquefied semen samples were cryopreserved using rapid freezing and vitrification for a minimum of seven days. Post-thaw motility, mitochondrial function, DNA integrity, and acrosome intactness of spermatozoa were similar between the cryoprotectant-free vitrification and rapid freezing methods. The head morphology of spermatozoa cryopreserved by the vitrification method was better preserved compared to rapid freezing method. Proteomic analysis led to the identification of a total of 4378 proteins in spermatozoa. However, differential proteomic profile observed in spermatozoa cryopreserved with vitrification and conventional rapid freezing methods compared to spermatozoa from the ejaculate indicates the possible differences in the functional competence of the spermatozoa cryopreserved using these two protocols. Even though vitrification of spermatozoa in medium without penetrating cryoprotectant holds promise as an attractive option owing to the simplicity and rapidity of the protocol, further studies are necessary to understand the safety of the protocol and pregnancy outcome upon using the vitrified-thawed spermatozoa for assisted conception and assisted reproductive technology.

Oocyte cryopreservation

Project description:Cryopreservation of mature oocytes is a critical means for female fertility preservation. Despite clinical advances using vitrification preservation method, the high concentrations of toxic penetrating cryoprotectant agents (CPA, up to 4.3 M) and low throughput (only one every experiment) put forward a challenge. Here, we report a synergetic ice inhibition platform via PVA/Fe3O4/GO nanoparticles (PFG NPs), that achieves sharp ice morphology, ice recrystallization, and devitrification inhibition, thus reducing cryodamage both in cooling and warming stages. Oocyte cryopreservation experiment demonstrates the survival rate can attain 98.6% using 2.5 M penetrating CPA while ensuring the scalability (ten oocytes each cryopreservation procedure). In contrast, recovered oocytes via PFG platform show 85 gene variation compared with fresh oocytes, whereas tradition CPA (TCPA) formulation induces 1396 gene changes. Meanwhile, the PFG-cryopreservation oocytes maintain normal ability of fertilization, development, and birth of offspring.

Effects of oocyte vitrification on gene expression in the liver and kidney tissues of adult offspring

Project description:Oocyte vitrification is an important assisted reproductive technology (ART) that preserves the fertility of unmarried patients with malignant tumors before radiotherapy and chemotherapy, cases where no sperm are available on ART oocyte collection day, and the development of the oocyte donation program. In recent years, the effects of ART, including the vitrification of oocytes and embryos on the health of offspring, have attracted much attention; however, it is difficult to conduct long-term follow-up and biochemical evaluation in humans. In this study, we detected the effect of oocyte vitrification on gene expression in the organs of adult mice offspring by RNA-sequencing for the first time. Our results showed that only a small amount of gene expression was affected. Seven genes (Tpm3, Hspe1-rs1, Ntrk2, Cyp4a31, Asic5, Cyp4a14, Retsat) were abnormally expressed in the liver, and ten genes (Lbp, Hspe1-rs1, Prxl2b, Pfn3, Gm9008, Bglap3, Col8a1, Hmgcr, Ero1lb, Ifi44l) were abnormal in the kidney. Several genes were related to metabolism and disease occurrence in the liver or kidney. Besides, we paid special attention to the expression of known imprinted genes and DNA methylation-related genes in adult organs, which are susceptible to oocyte cryopreservation only in the preimplantation stage. As a result, some of these transcripts were detected in the liver and kidney, but they were not affected by oocyte vitrification. In conclusion, we first report that oocyte vitrification did not significantly change the global gene expression in offspring organs, including imprinted genes and DNA methylation-related genes; nonetheless, it can still influence the transcription of a few functional genes. The potential adverse effects caused by oocyte vitrification need attention and further study.
