Project description:Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is an important technique for preserving fertility potential, albeit the associated tissue damage may severely impact post-thaw tissue viability. We collected human ovarian tissues from multiple samples and performed Stereo-Seq high-resolution spatial transcriptomics to comprehensively profile and compare the molecular impacts of two cryopreservation methods - slow freezing and vitrification. We identified 8 major spatial clusters and revealed their functional heterogeneity by subclustering. We then detailed cryopreservation response at both the global and subcluster levels to illustrate overall and niche specific effects. Compared to fresh samples, we observed a decrease in major metabolic pathways in frozen samples with both techniques, whereas vitrified samples have severer decrease than slow-frozen samples. The affected metabolic pathways included those related to proteins, such as ribosomal processes and proteasomal degradation; lipids, specifically sterol and cholesterol metabolism; and overall energy production, which encompassed cellular respiration and mitochondrial processes. On the other hand, slow freezing elicited a strong but balanced inflammatory and tissue remodeling state compared to vitrification. We also reported upregulated cell-cell signaling related to angiogenesis, cellular adhesion and extracellular matrix remodeling in slow-frozen tissue. These pathways were responsible for enhancing tissue repair by coordinating with certain stromal and endothelial subclusters. In summary, our study offered insights on ovarian cell response to cryopreservation, which may guide optimization of ovarian tissue cryopreservation protocols for clinical applications.

Project description:The Portuguese oyster Crassostrea angulata, a bivalve of significant economic and ecological importance, has faced a decline in both production and natural populations due to pathologies, climate change, and anthropogenic factors. To safeguard its genetic diversity and improve reproductive management, cryopreservation emerges as a valuable strategy. However, the cryopreservation methodologies lead to some damage in structures and functions of the cells and tissues that can affect post-thaw quality. Transcriptomics may help to understand the molecular consequences related to cryopreservation steps and therefore to identify different freezability biomarkers. This study investigates the molecular damage induced by cryopreservation in C. angulata D-larvae, focusing on two critical steps: exposure to cryoprotectant solution and the freezing/thawing process. Expression analysis revealed 3 differentially expressed genes between larvae exposed to cryoprotectant solution and fresh larvae and 511 differentially expressed genes in cryopreserved larvae against fresh larvae. The most significantly enriched gene ontology terms were “carbohydrate metabolic process”, “integral component of membrane” and “chitin binding” for biological processes, cellular components and molecular functions, respectively. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis identified the “neuroactive ligand receptor interaction”, “endocytosis” and “spliceosome” as the most enriched pathways. RNA sequencing results were validate by quantitative RT-PCR, once both techniques presented the same gene expression tendency and a group of 11 genes were considered important molecular biomarkers to be used in further studies for the evaluation of cryodamage. The current work provided valuable insights into the molecular repercussions of cryopreservation on D-larvae of Crassostrea angulata, revealing that the freezing process had a more pronounced impact on larval quality compared to any potential cryoprotectant-induced toxicity. Additionally, was identify 11 genes serving as biomarkers of freezability for D-larvae quality assessment. This research contributes to the development of more effective cryopreservation protocols and detection methods for cryodamage in this species.

Project description:Cryopreservation is a key method for long-term storage of biological specimens. The development of optimal cryopreservation condition will reduce the damage from the storage as least as possible. The effect of the cryopreservation condition we used on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) has been previously evaluated with microarray analysis. The emerging single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology enable deeper exploring cellular heterogeneity and function. In the current study, we further optimized the cryopreservation procedure using FACS analysis, and the method were further evaluated by ScRNA-Seq for two different length of storage time: six months and 12 months in comparison to fresh cells. We identified major immune cell types from both fresh and recovered cryopreserved PBMCs, including monocytes, dendritic cells (DCs), natural Killer (NK) cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and B cells. The cell viability of all identified immune cell types was relatively stable during the initial 6-month of cryopreservation, while showed10 ~ 40 % decline after cryopreserved for 12 months for different cell types. Furthermore, transcriptome profile of cryopreserved samples did not show obvious perturbation during whole 12 months testing time, although a few key genes involved in stress response or apoptosis, exhibited significant change, especially in monocytes, DC and NK cells. Our results validate that the optimized cryopreservation is a reliable procedure for maintaining these major immune cell types in PBMCs, also highlight the importance of careful assessment of individual sample as variation could be introduced by 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.

Project description:As clinical applications for chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CART) therapy extend beyond early phase trials, commercial manufacture incorporating preservation steps becomes a logistical necessity. The effect of cryopreservation on CART characteristics is unclear. We retrospectively evaluated the effect of cryopreservation on product release criteria and in vivo characteristics in 158 autologous CART products from 6 single-center clinical trials. Further, from 3 healthy donor manufacturing runs, we prospectively identified differentially expressed cell surface markers and gene signatures among fresh versus cryopreserved CARTs. Within 2 days of culture initiation, cell viability of the starting fraction (peripheral blood mononuclear cells [PBMNCs]) decreased significantly in the cryo-thawed arm compared to the fresh arm. Despite this, PBMNC cryopreservation did not affect final CART fold expansion, transduction efficiency, CD3%, or CD4:CD8 ratios. In vivo CART persistence and clinical responses did not differ among fresh and cryopreserved final products. In healthy donors, compared to fresh CARTs, early apoptotic cell-surface markers were significantly elevated in cryo-thawed CARTs. Cryo-thawed CARTs also demonstrated significantly elevated expression of mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis signaling, and cell cycle damage pathways. Cryopreservation during CART manufacture is a viable strategy, based on standard product release parameters. The clinical impact of cryopreservationrelated subtle micro-cellular damage needs further study

Project description:Cryopreservation causes significant lethal and sub-lethal damage to spermatozoa. In order to improve freezing outcomes, a comprehensive understanding of sub-lethal damage is required. Cryopreservation induced changes to sperm proteins have been investigated in several species, but few have employed currently available state of the art, data independent acquisition mass spectrometry (MS) methods. We used the SWATH LC-MS method to quantitatively profile proteomic changes to ram spermatozoa following exposure to egg yolk and cryopreservation. Egg yolk contributed 15 proteins to spermatozoa, including vitellogenins, apolipoproteins and complement component C3. Cryopreservation significantly altered the abundance of 51 proteins. Overall, 27 proteins increased (e.g. SERPINB1, FER) and 24 proteins decreased (e.g. CCT subunits, CSNK1G2, TOM1L1) in frozen thawed ram spermatozoa, compared to fresh spermatozoa. Chaperones constituted 20% of the proteins lost from spermatozoa following cryopreservation. These alterations may interfere with both normal cellular functioning and the ability of frozen thawed spermatozoa to appropriately respond to stress. This is the first study to apply SWATH mass spectrometry techniques to characterise proteins contributed by egg yolk based freezing media and to profile cryopreservation induced proteomic changes to ram spermatozoa.

Project description:Studies on embryo cryopreservation efficiency had been focused mainly on technical and embryo factors. While structural damages can be easily evaluated, physiological damages only can be estimated by analyzing their in vitro and in vivo development to later stages. In order to determine how cryopreservation process affect embryo pre-implantory development, a transcriptional microarray study has been performed comparing gene expression of 6 days old rabbit embryos, previously vitrified or frozen and transferred into recipients rabbit females, to their in vivo counterparts. For each experimental group, control, vitrified and frozen late blastocysts, total RNA was extracted from 3 pools of approximately 10 embryos and labeled with Cy3 or Cy5 dyes. Then, six competitive hybridizations were carried out including two dye-swaps to compensate dye-bias. A specifically microarray designed to study rabbit gene expression profiling, the Rabbit 44K oligonucleotide array (Agilent Technologies), was used in this study. Identification of differentially expressed transcripts from 6 day old blastocysts was achieved using the Limma algorithm, and functional annotation was performed by Blast2GO software. Compared to 6 day old in vivo derived embryos, viable vitrified embryos only present 3 differentially expressed genes, in contrast to frozen viable embryos with 24 genes upregulated and 46 genes downregulated. These results reveal that effects of cryopreservation still remain in late blastocyst pre-implantatory gene expression, and potential damage and alterations produced by vitrification and slow-freezing procedures are differentially resolved after 3 days of in vivo development. Transcriptional microarray study that compares gene expression of viable 6 day old rabbit embryos, previosly vitrified or frozen and tranferred into recipient rabbit females, to their in vivo counterparts. Experiment 1: Control embryos vs. Vitrified embryos and Experiment 2: Control embryos vs. Frozen embryos. Biological replicates used: 3 replicates for control embryos, 3 replicates for vitrified embryos and 3 replicates for frozen embryos.
