Selection of In Vitro-Matured Porcine Oocytes Based on Localization Patterns of Lipid Droplets to Evaluate Developmental Competence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Localization patterns of lipid droplets in the cytoplasm of porcine oocytes were evaluated as a novel marker for in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes with high developmental competence. Porcine oocytes were cultured in TCM-199, which is a complete synthetic medium, for 44 h at 38.5 C. Localization patterns were divided into 2 classes: lipid droplets localized uniformly in the whole cytoplasm (class I) and those that were centrally located (class II). After IVM in TCM-199, 60% of matured oocytes exhibited the class II pattern. To investigate the relation between the distribution of lipid droplets and the developmental rate of the oocyte, the developmental rates of class I and class II oocytes were compared after in vitro fertilization (IVF). Class II oocytes showed a significantly higher rate of blastocyst development than class I oocytes. These results suggest that porcine oocytes with high developmental competence can be selected based on the localization patterns of lipid droplets.

P-118: Effect of Vitrification on Developmental Competence of Parthenogenetic Activation in In Vitro Matured Ovine Oocytes
Background: Cryopreservation of in vitro matured oocytes is a useful technique because the oocytes can be used for some assisted reproductive technologies. On the other hand, the cryopreservation of oocytes is an open problem as a result of their structural sensitivity to the freezing process. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitrification on in vitro development of vitri...

Background: The developmental competence of oocytes matured in vitro (IVM) is yet far below than in vivo counterparts. Recent studies suggest that the asynchrony between nuclear/cytoplasmic maturation and the initial low/heterogeneous quality of oocytes are the most important factors affecting IVM success. We investigated whether selection of growing oocytes (based on their glucose 6- phosphate...

Background: Currently, a limited number of studies have been done on the vitrification of small ruminant oocytes, especially in sheep, where poor developmental rates are obtained following immature and mature oocyte vitrification. Poor ovine oocyte cryopreservation could attribute to the damage to enzymes which has role in metabolic pathways. Therefore, production of cytokines and growth factor...

Background: It is a common practice to rest vitrified-warmed matured oocytes for 1-3 hours, as a treatment to recover spindle and cytoskeleton, before commencing a further treatment. Vitrified-warmed matured oocytes, however, are very sensitive and may resume meiosis spontaneously during this recommended rest time. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess spindle and chromosome status as ...
