Vitrification of in vitro produced ovine embryos at various developmental stages using two methods.

Abstract:

:This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of developmental stage of in vitro produced (IVP) ovine embryos and the type of vitrification procedure used on embryo cryotolerance. The IVP embryos were vitrified at five different developmental stages: 4-, 8- and 16-cell, morula, and blastocyst. For each stage, half of the embryos were vitrified in either 30 microl 3.4M glycerol+4.6M ethylene glycol in straw (method 1) or in <0.1 microl 2.7 M ethylene glycol+2.1 M Me(2)SO+0.5M sucrose placed on the inner surface of a straw (method 2) of vitrification solution, based on two different procedures. After warming embryo viability was determined by assessing the rates of re-expansion, survival, and blastocyst formation. The quality of surviving embryos was evaluated by their hatching rate and blastocyst cell numbers. In both vitrification methods, embryo survival progressively increased as the developmental stage progressed. In method 1 few of the early cleavage stage embryos (4-, 8- and 16-cell) could reach to the blastocyst stage following warming. There was no significant difference in blastocyst cell numbers (total, ICM, and trophectoderm cells) or hatching rate of blastocysts derived from vitrified embryos at different developmental stages. The number of dead cells in vitrified blastocysts in method 1 was higher than for non-vitrified blastocysts (P<0.05). The number of apoptotic cells in vitrified blastocysts was higher than for non-vitrified counterparts (P<0.05). In conclusion, both the developmental stage of IVP ovine embryos and the method of vitrification have a significant effect on the viability and developmental competence of sheep embryos.
