چکیده

background: the present study has been carried out to investigate the effects of preovulatory stage gamma-irradiation of female mice in the absence or presence of vitamin e on numerical chromosome abnormalities in 8-cell embryos after mating with non-irradiated males. materials and methods: the 8-11 weeks adult female nmri mice were whole body irradiated at preovulatory stage (post pmsg injection and about 12-18 hours before injecting hcg) with 4 gy gamma-rays generated from a cobalt-60 source alone or in combination with 200 iu/kg vitamin e, intrapretoneally administered one hour prior to irradiation. soon after hcg injection super ovulated irradiated females were mated with non-irradiated males. about 68-h post coitous (p.c), 8-cell embryos were flushed from the oviducts of pregnant mice and were fixed on slides using standard methods in order to screen for metaphase spreads and numerical chromosome abnormalities. results: in control embryos, 8% of metaphase plates were aneuploid, whereas in preovulatory stage irradiated female mice, about 50% of metaphase plates of embryos showed numerical chromosome aberrations ( p<0.001 ). administration of vitamin e one hour before the irradiation reduced chromosomal aberrations significantly (p=0.005). conclusion: results show that the effects of gamma-irradiation on preovulatory stage oocytes led to chromosomal abnormalities in subsequent embryos generated by these oocytes. increase the frequency of numerical chromosome abnormalities -mostly aneuploidy- may be due to abnormal chromosomal non disjunctions during 2nd meiotic division. reduction of the frequency of chromosome aberrations in the presence of vitamin e is probably due to antioxidant effects of this vitamin, and scavenging free radicals induced by gamma-rays in mice oocytes’ environment.

Effect of vitamin E on preovulatory stage irradiated female mouse expressed as chromosomal abnormalities in generated embryos

Ionizing radiation can induce DNA damage in the germ cells of exposed individuals and lead to various deleterious effects in their progeny, including miscarriage, low birth weight, congenital abnormalities and perhaps cancer (1). Irradiation may induce various types of chromosome aberrations in the germ cells. Some of them are compatible with the survival of the cells and if transmitted to the ...

The effect of pronuclear morphology on early development and chromosomal abnormalities in cleavage-stage embryos.

BACKGROUND Pronuclear (PN) zygote morphology has been proposed as a useful tool for selecting the best embryos for transfer. METHODS PN morphology was recorded in 888 zygotes and classified according to similar/different PN size [groups A (n = 816) and B (n = 72)] and to the number, distribution and synchrony of nucleolar precursor bodies (NPB): subgroup I, pronuclei with 3-4 polarized NPB; s...

the effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation

in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.

Reduction of transgenerational radiation induced genetic damages observed as numerical chromosomal abnormalities in preimplantation embryos by vitamin E

Germ cell mutagens produce heritable gene mutations, and heritable structural and numerical chromosome aberrations in germ cells. The consequences of germ cell mutations in subsequent generations include genetically determined phenotypic alterations without signs of illness, or reduction in fertility, or embryonic or prenatal death, more or less severe congenital malformations, or genetic disea...

Which stage of mouse embryos is more appropriate for vitrification?

Objective Vitrification has been shown as one of the most effective methods of cryopreservation for mammalian embryos. However, there is no consensus which stage of embryonic development is the most appropriate for vitrification with subsequent maximal development after thawing. This study was carried out to explore and compare the effect(s) of vitrification on mouse 2-cell, 4-cell, 8-cell, mor...
