Effect of Cryoprotectant Kinds and Cell Stages on the Viability of Mouse Embryos Cryopreserved by OPP Vitrification
동결보호제의 종류 및 배발달단계가 OPP Vitrification 동결보존시 생쥐수정란의 생존성에 미치는 영향
Abstract
This study was designed to determine effect of cryoprotectant kinds and cell stages on OPP vitrification method in mouse embryos. The freezing speed, cryoprotectants and cell stage could affect of embryo viability following various vitrification methods. The vitrification solution used were consisting of 40% (v/v) ethylene glycol, 18% (w/v) Ficoll, 0.3 M sucrose solution in holding medium (D-PBS supplemented with 5% FCS: HM) (EFS) or 16.5% ethylene glycol , 16.5% dimethyl sulfoxide, 0.5 M sucrose in HM (EDS). The embryos were collected from oviduct at 18 h after hCG injection and then washed and cultured in mHTF medium until use. In experiment 1, the blastocysts were vitrified by OPP straw to determine the optimal vitrification solution of EFS or EDS. The post-thaw survival rates at re-expanded stage rates were significantly different between EFS and EDS (95.0 vs 100%), but at hatching stage was not different between EFS and EDS (90.0 vs 95.0%). respectively. In experiment 2, zygotes, 2-, 4-cell, morula and blastocysts were vitrified by OPP method to determine the acceptable of early stage embryos. The development rates to expanded blastocyst in zygote (70.0%) were significantly lower rather than those in 2-, 4- 8-cell, compacted morula or blastocyst (89.7, 90.0, 92.8, 97.6 or 97.5%), respectively. However, the cell number of post-thaw developed to expanded blastocyst in blastocyst and control blastocyst stage (39.6
본 연구는 동결동결보호제의 종류와 배발달단계가 생쥐의 OPP vitrification 동결방법에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 동결속도, 동결보호제 및 배발달단계는 vitrification 방법에 따른 수정란의 생존성에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에 사용된 동결보존액은 40% (v/v) ethylene glycol, 18% (w/v) Ficoll, 0.3 M sucrose와 5% FCS가 첨가된 D-PBS (EFS) 및 16.5% ethylene glycol, 16.5% dimethyl sulfoxide, 0.5 M sucrose 와 5% D-PBS (EDS)을 이용하였다. 배반포기배는 hCG 처리후 90시간째에 자궁으로부터 채취하여 실험 1에 이용하였고, 실험 2와 3에서는 zygote 를 hCG 처리후 18시간에 난관에서 채취하여 mHTF 배양액에 5%
