Abstract:
PURPOSE:To our knowledge, little is known about the effect of polarized and non-polarized uterine epithelial cells on cryopreserved embryo growth. This study was, therefore, set up to investigate the effect of these monolayers together with sequential culture media on vitrified-warmed mouse embryos in terms of blastocyst development, blastocyst quality, incidence of apoptosis and related genes expression. METHODS:Two cell vitrified-warmed mouse embryos were cultured in G-1ver3 medium to the eight-cell stage when they were randomly assigned to three treatment groups of no co-culture (control), non-polarized and polarized mouse uterine epithelial monolayer co-culture. The culture medium was G-2ver3 during the treatment phase. After 96 h on treatment, the significance of differences were evaluated by the one way analysis of variance for continuous data. RESULTS:In the polarized monolayer group, the hatched blastocyst formation and blastocyst quality improved significantly than other two groups (P < 0.05). Whereas the incidence of apoptosis and related gene expression such as Bax were higher in the blastocysts of control group (P < 0.05). The relative abundance of Bcl-2 mRNA to the beta-tubulin was similar for all treatments. CONCLUSION:Co-culture system involving polarized uterine epithelial cells and sequential culture media is a promising method for the improvement of vitrified-warmed mouse embryo development.
