Nuclear chromatin variations in human spermatozoa undergoing swim-up and cryopreservation evaluated by the flow cytometric sperm chromatin structure assay. (1/2910)

The sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) is a flow cytometric (FCM) technique which exploits the metachromatic properties of Acridine Orange to monitor the susceptibility of sperm chromatin DNA to in-situ acid denaturation. SCSA was used to study the chromatin structure variations of human spermatozoa in semen, both before and after swim-up and after cryopreservation. Semen samples were provided by 19 healthy normozoospermic subjects attending pre-marriage checks. Each sample was divided into three aliquots: the first aliquot was evaluated without further treatment, the second underwent swim-up, and the third was stored according to standard cryopreservation techniques in liquid nitrogen at -196 degrees C. Samples were also analysed by light and fluorescence microscopy (after Acridine Orange staining to evaluate the number of green fluorescent sperm heads), and by computer-assisted semen analysis. The results showed that post-rise spermatozoa represent a subpopulation characterized by a general improvement of the morphological (reduction of the percentage of abnormal forms and heads, increase of the green head sperm percentage) and kinetic parameters. This subpopulation also exhibited improved chromatin structure properties, confirming that these cells have the best structural and functional characteristics, indicative of optimal fertilizing ability. On the other hand, overall sperm quality deteriorates after cryopreservation. When thawed spermatozoa underwent an additional swim-up round, a general improvement of nuclear maturity was seen in the post-rise spermatozoa.  (+info)

Arterial damage induced by cryopreservation is irreversible following organ culture. (2/2910)

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to investigate the changes which occur to the arterial wall following cryopreservation and thawing and to determine whether these changes are reversible after a week of culture in an organ bath. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Rat iliac arterial segments were cryopreserved. Once thawed, the arterial segments were cultured for a period of 0, 1, 2, 4 or 7 days. Freshly isolated rat iliac vessels cultured for 7 days served as the control group. Evaluation was made of ultrastructural changes, the expression of metalloproteinase activity (MMP-1, MMP-3 and MMP-9) and the apoptotic state of cells. RESULTS: The freezing-thawing process induced damage to the arterial segments compared to fresh control vessels. After 1 week of culture, arteries showed a high degree of tissue degeneration. Only a few individual endothelial cells remained on the luminal surface. There was a gradual increase in the proportion of apoptotic cells. The sequential expression of MMP-1 during the first 2 days and subsequent expression of MMP-3 and MMP-9 were of most significance. CONCLUSIONS: Cryopreservation induced damage to the vessels which could not be reversed by organ culture. The changes observed in the expression of metalloproteinases may be indicative of the degenerative process which occurs in the extracellular matrix.  (+info)

Effect of cryopreservation on cytochrome P-450 enzyme induction in cultured rat hepatocytes. (3/2910)

In the present study, we evaluated the inducibility of cytochrome P-450 (CYP) CYP1A, CYP2B, CYP3A, and CYP4A by beta-naphthoflavone, phenobarbital, dexamethasone, and clofibric acid, respectively, in primary hepatocyte cultures prepared from both fresh and cryopreserved rat hepatocytes. Rat hepatocytes were successfully thawed and cultured after cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen for up to 1 month. Percentage of total recovery, viable cell recovery, and final viability of the cells were 68%, 72%, and 85%, respectively. Regardless of whether they were cryopreserved or not, cultured hepatocytes exhibited near-normal morphology. Treatment of cryopreserved hepatocytes with beta-naphthoflavone caused an 8-fold increase in 7-ethoxyresorufin O-dealkylase (CYP1A1/2) activity, with an EC50 of 1.5 microM; treatment with phenobarbital caused a 26-fold increase in 7-pentoxyresorufin O-dealkylase (CYP2B1/2) activity, with an EC50 of 10 microM; treatment with dexamethasone caused a 10-fold increase in testosterone 6beta-hydroxylase (CYP3A1/2) activity, with an EC50 of 1.3 microM, whereas treatment with clofibric acid caused a 3-fold increase in lauric acid 12-hydroxylase (CYP4A1-3) activity, with an EC50 of 170 microM. The induction of CYP1A, CYP2B, CYP3A, and CYP4A enzymes by these inducers was confirmed by Western immunoblotting. The patterns of P-450 induction in cryopreserved rat hepatocytes, in terms of concentration response, reproducibility, magnitude, and specificity of response, were similar to those observed in freshly isolated hepatocytes. Additionally, the magnitude and specificity of induction was similar to that observed in vivo in rats. In conclusion, under the conditions examined, cryopreserved rat hepatocytes appear to be a suitable in vitro system for evaluating xenobiotics as inducers of P-450 enzymes.  (+info)

Binding of annexin V to plasma membranes of human spermatozoa: a rapid assay for detection of membrane changes after cryostorage. (4/2910)

When the cell membrane is disturbed, phospholipid phosphatidylserine (PS) is translocated from the inner to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane. This is one of the earliest signs of apoptosis and can be monitored by the calcium-dependent binding of annexin V. Therefore, annexin V-binding, in conjunction with flow cytometry, was used to evaluate the integrity of the sperm plasma membrane after different cryostorage protocols: i.e. 10% (v/v) glycerol; sperm maintenance medium (MM); freezing medium TEST yolk buffer (TYB); or cryostorage without protection (cryoshock). Using a combination of two fluorescent dyes, annexin V and propidium iodide (PI), led to three groups of spermatozoa being identified: (i) viable spermatozoa (annexin V-negative and PI-negative); (ii) dead spermatozoa (annexin V-positive and PI-positive); and (iii) cells with impaired but integer plasma membrane (annexin V-positive and PI-negative). The percentage of vital annexin V-negative spermatozoa increased significantly (P < 0.05) from spermatozoa treated by cryoshock (15.0+/-1.2%) to spermatozoa cryopreserved by TYB (26.6+/-2.2%) via cryopreservation by 10% (v/v) glycerol (19.9+/-1.6%) and by MM (22.2 1.8%) and was associated with the percentage of motile spermatozoa (17.6+/-3.4% by glycerol; 19.6+/-3.7% by MM and 22.6+/-3.9% by TYB; P = 0.0001). Of the spermatozoa, 12-22% were annexin V-positive even though they did not bind to PI, indicating viability before as well as after cryostorage. The percentage of vital annexin V-positive spermatozoa was significantly correlated with different sperm motility parameters (velocity straight linear, r = 0.601, P = 0.018; percentage of linearly motile spermatozoa: r = 0.549, P = 0.034). We, therefore, concluded that annexin V-binding is more sensitive in detecting a deterioration of membrane functions than PI staining, and that a considerable percentage of spermatozoa might have dysfunctional plasma membranes besides dead or moribund cells. Of the cryopreservation protocols tested, TYB yielded the most viable spermatozoa. Therefore, we advocate the use of the annexin V-binding assay for the evaluation of the quality and integrity of spermatozoa.  (+info)

Freezer anthropology: new uses for old blood. (5/2910)

Archived blood fractions (plasma, settled red cells, white cells) have proved to be a rich and valuable source of DNA for human genetic studies. Large numbers of such samples were collected between 1960 and the present for protein and blood group studies, many of which are languishing in freezers or have already been discarded. More are discarded each year because the usefulness of these samples is not widely understood. Data from DNA derived from 10-35-year-old blood samples have been used to address the peopling of the New World and of the Pacific. Mitochondrial DNA haplotypes from studies using this source DNA support a single wave of migration into the New World (or a single source population for the New World), and that Mongolia was the likely source of the founding population. Data from Melanesia have shown that Polynesians are recent immigrants into the Pacific and did not arise from Melanesia.  (+info)

Preparation of endometrium for egg donation. (6/2910)

Nowadays oocyte donation is a well established method of assisted reproduction and offers the unique opportunity to treat patients with various clinical indications, with or without ovarian function, in a novel way. In women with ovarian failure, artificial menstrual cycles are required before proceeding to oocyte donation. Oestrogen may be delivered in the form of oral tablets, transdermal patches in order to bypass the gastrointestinal tract thus avoiding first pass metabolism and by vaginal application. Our regimen is oestradiol valerate given in various concentrations, in order to mimic the regular cyclic fluctuations throughout the cycle. Progesterone may be administered in the form of oral tablets, intravaginal suppositories or rings and i.m. injections. Our results, as of most other groups, strongly support the vaginal route of progesterone administration. In women with retained ovarian function, synchronization of donor-recipient cycle presents a special problem, as there is strong evidence that a temporal window of maximal endometrial receptivity exists. Cryopreservation of donated embryos may be used to overcome the problem, but this approach has the important drawback of embryonic loss occurring after freezing and thawing. The method of choice is the administration of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) to render the patients functionally agonadal in order to circumvent cycle asynchrony between the donor and recipient.  (+info)

Turner's syndrome and pregnancies after oocyte donation. (7/2910)

A total of 20 clinical pregnancies was achieved among 18 women with Turner's syndrome who were treated in an oocyte donation programme. The oocytes were donated by voluntary unpaid donors. A mean of 1.8 embryos per transfer was given to each recipient by way of 28 fresh and 25 frozen embryo transfers. With fresh and frozen embryos, 13 and seven pregnancies respectively were achieved. The clinical pregnancy rate per fresh embryo transfer was 46%, and the implantation rate 30%, being similar to the corresponding rates among our oocyte recipients with primary ovarian failure in general. The corresponding rates with frozen embryos were 28 and 19%. Of these pregnancies, 40% ended in miscarriage. This high rate may be explained by uterine factors. Six women were hypertensive during pregnancy, a rate comparable with that in other oocyte donation pregnancies. All these women delivered by Caesarean section. Pregnancy and implantation rates after oocyte donation were high in women with Turner's syndrome, but the risk of cardiovascular and other complications is high. Careful assessment before and during follow-up of pregnancy are important. Transfer of only one embryo at a time to avoid the additional complications caused by twin pregnancy is recommended.  (+info)

Primitive hematopoietic progenitors within mobilized blood are spared by uncontrolled rate freezing. (8/2910)

Uncontrolled-rate freezing techniques represent an attractive alternative to controlled-rate cryopreservation procedures which are time-consuming and require high-level technical expertise. In this study, we report our experience using uncontrolled-rate cryopreservation and mechanical freezer storage at -140 degrees C. Twenty-eight PBPC samples (10 cryovials, 18 freezing bags) from 23 patients were cryopreserved in a cryoprotectant solution composed of phosphate-buffered saline (80%, v/v) supplemented with human serum albumin (10%, v/v) and dimethylsulfoxide (10%, v/v). The cryopreservation procedure required on average 1.5 h. The mean (+/- s.e.m.) storage time of cryovials and bags was 344+/-40 and 299+57 days, respectively. Although cell thawing was associated with a statistically significant reduction of the absolute number of nucleated cells (vials: 0.3x10(9) vs. 0.2x10(9), P< or =0.02; bags: 14x10(9) vs. 11x10(9), P< or =0.0003), the growth of committed progenitors was substantially unaffected by the freezing-thawing procedure, with mean recoveries of CFU-Mix, BFU-E, and CFU-GM ranging from 60+/- 29% to 134+/-15%. Mean recoveries of LTC-IC from cryovials and bags were 262+/-101% and 155+/-27% (P< or =0.2), respectively. In 14 out of 23 patients who underwent high-dose chemotherapy and PBPC reinfusion, the pre-and post-freezing absolute numbers of hematopoietic progenitors cryopreserved in bags were compared. A significant reduction was detected for CFU-Mix (11 vs. 7.4x10(5)), but no significant loss of BFU-E (180 vs. 150x10(5)), CFU-GM (400 vs. 290x10(5)) and LTC-IC (15 vs. 16x10(5)) could be demonstrated. When these patients were reinfused with uncontrolled-rate cryopreserved PBPC, the mean number of days to reach 1x10(9)/l white blood cells and 50x10(9)/l platelets were 9 and 13, respectively. In conclusion, the procedure described here is characterized by short execution time, allows a substantial recovery of primitive and committed progenitors and is associated with prompt hematopoietic recovery following myeloablative therapy even after long-term storage.  (+info)

There are many benefits of oocyte and embryo cryopreservation. When used as part of the IVF treatment process, cryopreservation can increase the likelihood of achieving pregnancy for many patients. Cryopreservation also allows couples to continue to see their families grow as IVF cycles can be repeated, years later, from the same group of eggs originally recovered for treatment.. During an IVF cycle, between 10 and 30 eggs can typically be recovered from the ovary. While it is likely that not all of these eggs will be deemed appropriate for cryopreservation, the process frequently allows couples to save a number of eggs for multiple conception attempts. In some cases, this can lead to successful treatment without the use of fertility drugs. It also reduces the likelihood that another egg retrieval procedure will be required. The number of embryos transferred depends on the number of eggs available, age, and other factors that are unique to each patient. In some cases, cryopreservation makes ...

OBJECTIVE: During IVF, non-transferred embryos are usually selected for cryopreservation on the basis of morphological criteria. This investigation evaluated an application for array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) in assessment of surplus embryos prior to cryopreservation. METHODS: First-time IVF patients undergoing elective single embryo transfer and having at least one extra non-transferred embryo suitable for cryopreservation were offered enrollment in the study. Patients were randomized into two groups: Patients in group A (n=55) had embryos assessed first by morphology and then by aCGH, performed on cells obtained from trophectoderm biopsy on post-fertilization day 5. Only euploid embryos were designated for cryopreservation. Patients in group B (n=48) had embryos assessed by morphology alone, with only good morphology embryos considered suitable for cryopreservation. RESULTS: Among biopsied embryos in group A (n=425), euploidy was confirmed in 226 (53.1%). After fresh single embryo

Populations of Redside Dace Clinostomus elongatus have declined in many areas across the speciesNorth American range. Therefore, the development of sperm cryopreservation technology would provide an invaluable means of preserving genetic diversity in populations that are in imminent danger of extirpation.We developed cryopreservation protocols by testing the effects of diluent (buffered sperm motility-inhibiting saline solution [BSMIS]; BSMIS + glycine; sucrose; and Hanks balanced salt solution [HBSS]), cryoprotectant (dimethyl sulfoxide [DMSO]; propylene glycol [PG]; N,N-dimethylacetamide [DMA]; and methanol), freezing rate (1, 5, and 10◦C/min), and male-to-male variation on sperm quality. Incubating sperm in extenders affected motility;BSMIS + glycine + methanol,BSMIS + glycine + PG, and HBSS + methanol were the only treatments for which motility was not significantly different from that of fresh sperm. Sperm frozen with sucrose had higher motility than sperm frozen with BSMIS + glycine, ...
Development of effective cryopreservation protocols will be essential to realizing the potential for clinical application of neural stem and progenitor cells. Current cryopreservation protocols have been largely employed in research, which does not require as stringent consideration of viability and sterility. Therefore, these protocols involve the use of serum and protein additives, which can potentially introduce contaminants, and slow cooling with DMSO/glycerol-based cryopreservation solutions, which impairs cell survival. We investigated whether serum- and protein-free vitrification is effective for functional cryopreservation of neurosphere cultures of neural stem or progenitor cells. To protect the samples from introduction of other contaminants during handling and cryostorage, an original straw-in-straw method (250 l sterile straw placed in 500 l straw) for direct immersion into liquid nitrogen and storing the samples was also introduced. The protocol employed brief step-wise ...

The UK Cryonics and Cryopreservation Research Network is a group of UK researchers who, together with international advisors, aim to advance research in cryopreservation and its applications. Although we are a small group, we hope to promote academic and industrial activity on cryopreservation, and discuss its potential applications, including the idea of cryopreserving whole humans, commonly known as cryonics. We acknowledge that cryonics is a controversial topic, but like any unprovable approach we think its scientific discussion is necessary to permit its understanding by the public and by the wider scientific community, and it allows us to address many of the misunderstandings surrounding cryonics. We also think that cryopreservation, cryogenics and cryonics are fields with a huge potential impact on human medicine whose societal implications should be considered and debated. We hope to attract and excite students and other researchers about cryobiology, contribute to knowledge exchange and ...

Background Sperm cryopreservation has become an indispensable tool in biology. Initially, studies were aimed towards the development of efficient freezing protocols in different species that would allow for an efficient storage of semen samples for long periods of time, ensuring its viability. Nowadays, it is widely known that an important individual component exists in the cryoresistance of semen, and efforts are aimed at identifying those sperm characteristics that may allow us to predict this cryoresistance. This knowledge would lead, ultimately, to the design of optimized freezing protocols for the sperm characteristics of each male. Methodology/Principal Findings We have evaluated the changes that occur in the sperm head dimensions throughout the cryopreservation process. We have found three different patterns of response, each of one related to a different sperm quality at thawing. We have been able to characterize males based on these patterns. For each male, its pattern remained constant among
Vitrification is an ultra‐rapid cryopreservation technique that provides excellent survivability by using optimal concentrations of cryoprotectants used in a step‐wise process supporting rapid dehydration of the oocyte. The dehydrated oocyte is loaded into a thin storage device that will facilitate ultra‐rapid cooling of the oocyte when plunged into liquid nitrogen - eliminating concerns of damaging ice‐crystal formation associated with traditional slow‐freezing procedures. Thaw solutions are formulated to support rehydration through the rapid warming process that follows vitrification to optimize cellular survival.. Irvine Scientifics vitrification system is being used in hundreds of clinics worldwide to support robust cryopreservation programs that are delivering babies every day. These solutions support implantation and pregnancy rates comparable to those of fresh cycles.. ...
Ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation is a real option to preserve and restore fertility in young cancer patients. However, there is a concern regarding the possible presence of malignant cells in the ovarian tissue, which could lead to recurrence of the primary disease after reimplantation. A review of the existing literature was done to evaluate the risk of transplanting malignant cells in case of the main malignant indications for ovarian tissue cryopreservation. For ovarian tissue from patients with hematologic malignancies, it is of paramount importance to identify minimal residual disease before ovarian tissue transplantation. Indeed, these pathologies, reviewed here in detail, are considered to be most at risk of ovarian metastasis ...

The aim of this study was to characterize the testicular isoform of angio-tensin-converting enzyme (tACE) before and after semen cryopreservation, and in the acrosome reaction of sperm from Nelore bulls in vitro. Ejaculates of 10 sexually mature Nelore bulls were used. After semen was collected, 1.0 mL of the ejaculate was used for the analysis and the rest was subjected to cryopreservation. Fresh semen before freezing, and frozen/thawed semen were centrifuged twice and the pellet was resuspended intyrodes albumin lactate pyruvate (TALP). Thereafter, 100 μL aliquots containing 100 × 106 spermatozoa were prepared. Aliquots of samples were used for western blot analysis, subjected to capacitation, and thereafter, acrosome reaction assays were performed </>in vitro</i>. With the help of an anti-ACE monoclonal antibody, a 100 kDa protein band was identified in the spermatozoa of Nelore bulls. Cryopreservation reduced the intensity of the protein bands obtained by western blot assay to less

This advisory is written for those who would like to understand the processes of mouse strain cryopreservation, why it is important and how to take advantage of the services offered. The most efficient method to protect mouse strains is by cryopreservation of gametes or embryos. Cryopreservation, and especially re-animation from frozen material, is not a trivial exercise, nor is the establishment of a cryopreservation and IVF laboratory cheap. There are numerous laboratories around the world that offer these services.
If during your egg donation procedure with fresh or frozen donor eggs more embryos were obtained than are going to be transferred into the uterus, these embryos, if of good quality, can be frozen. These frozen embryos are property of the couple or a single woman and can be used for the next attempt or a next pregnancy. They may be required if you have not got pregnant in the fresh try or if you have got pregnant and want a brother or sister for your first child several years later.. The benefit of cryopreservation is that a woman has an additional chance to conceive without new stimulation procedure and follicular puncture in the donor. Also new sperm collection is not required. Hence the transfer of frozen embryos is much less time consuming and very cost effective. It requires only one day visit for a woman and does not require a visit of a man. Preparation of uterus to the embryo transfer does not differ much from the preparation to the fresh embryo transfer.. Embryo cryopreservation is the ...
Embryo cryopreservation or embryo freezing is a method used to preserve embryos by cooling and storing them at low temperatures (-196°C). They can then be thawed at a future date and transferred to the uterus, providing additional opportunity for achieving conception.. As part of the usual process of in vitro fertilization, multiple eggs may be stimulated to grow, be recovered from the ovary and become fertilized. This may result in additional embryos in excess of the number that a couple would desire to have transferred back to the uterus at one time. If the additional embryos are of sufficiently good quality to undergo the process of cryopreservation, this can be performed in order to provide another opportunity for embryo transfer. Depending on the embryo stage at the time of freezing, between 60-90% survive freeze/thaw process resulting in a future pregnancy.. If the IVF fresh embryo transfer does not result in pregnancy, the frozen embryos can be subsequently thawed and transferred to the ...
The aim of this study was to characterize the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in Gir semen before and after cryopreservation. The ejaculate of five sexually mature bulls was used. After collection, one 1-mL aliquot of fresh semen was analyzed immediately, and the rest of the semen was cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen for subsequent analysis. Freshly collected semen and thawed cryopreserved semen were centrifuged twice with Tyrodes albumin lactate pyruvate medium (TALP) to remove plasma and extender, respectively. Samples were then subjected to western blotting, immunocytochemistry, and enzymatic activity techniques. At least one 100 kDa band was observed in every bull analyzed using western blotting with an anti-ACE monoclonal antibody, and band intensity decreased by 70% (p < 0.05) after cryopreservation. Immunocytochemistry showed periacrosomal ACE localization, and the area stained by the fluorescent antibody significantly decreased (p < 0.05) after cryopreservation. Enzyme activity was
Cryopreserved donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) products are manufactured and administered to treat relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Reported clinical responses to DLIs vary broadly, even within the same group of patients. While there is an implicit recognition of the fact that different manufacturing protocols may have specific effects on different cell types, cryopreservation protocols are frequently derived from our experience in the cryopreservation of stem cell products and do not account for the heterogeneous functional nature of DLI T-cell populations. Here, we report the results of a prospective, multicenter trial on the effect of four different cryopreservation solutions that were used to freeze DLIs compared to control DLIs that were refrigerated overnight ...
Abstract: There are many reasons why cryopreservation of gametes are important: 1) maintenance of genetic diversity in domestic and wild species populations (Wildt 1992; Wildt 1997; Critser and Russell 2000), 2) facilitating the distribution of genetically superior domestic species lines, 3) treatment of human infertility (Kuczynski et al. 2001; Ranganathan et al. 2002; Tash et al. 2003; Agarwal et al. 2004; Nalesnik et al. 2004), and 4) genetic banking of genetically modified animal models of human health and disease (Critser and Russell 2000; Knight and Abbott 2002). Although cryopreservation of gametes have been routine in many other livestock industries such as the dairy industry. Cryopreservation in the swine industry is still in it infancy. Birth of live offspring has been reported from cryopreserved sperm and embryos, but success is still extremely low. From an industry perspective the low success rate has too much of an economic impact that the integration of the technology has been ...

Excessive reactive oxygen species generation during sex sorting and cryopreservation of stallion sperm leads to DNA fragmentation, lipid peroxidation, and motility loss. In this study we investigated whether antioxidant supplementation during sex sorting and cryopreservation could ameliorate the effects of reactive oxygen species on stallion sperm. In experiment 1, the postthaw characteristics of stallion sperm (N = 9) cryopreserved in the presence or absence of catalase (200 U/mL), cysteine (0.2 mg/mL), or quercetin (0.15 mM) was examined. Motility and acrosome integrity were assessed at 0, 1, and 3 hours after thawing. The sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA; detectable DNA fragmentation index [DFI], mean DFI, and DFI) was used to assess DNA integrity immediately after thawing. Quercetin increased the total postthaw motility (25.3% vs. 20.9%; P | 0.05), but there was no beneficial effect of catalase or cysteine. Based on these results, the effect of quercetin during cryopreservation on the postthaw
DALLAS, Texas (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Women delaying childbearing or requiring fertility preservation prior to undergoing treatment now have an option with the launch of oocyte cryopreservation at Fertility Specialists of Texas. Now there is an option - egg freezing - that enables women to have eggs (also known as oocytes) aspirated before undergoing cancer treatment, and frozen for later use. - News from Fertility Specialists of Texas, issued by Send2Press Newswire
Background Simple and effective cryopreservation of human oocytes would have an enormous impact on the financial and ethical constraints of human assisted reproduction. Recently, studies have demonstrated the potential for cryopreservation in an ice-free glassy state by equilibrating oocytes with high concentrations of cryoprotectants (CPAs) and rapidly cooling to liquid nitrogen temperatures. A major difficulty with this approach is that the high concentrations required for the avoidance of crystal formation (vitrification) also increase the risk of osmotic and toxic damage. We recently described a mathematical optimization approach for designing CPA equilibration procedures that avoid osmotic damage and minimize toxicity, and we presented optimized procedures for human oocytes involving continuous changes in solution composition. Methods Here we adapt and refine our previous algorithm to predict piecewise-constant changes in extracellular solution concentrations in order to make the predicted ...

The use of mixed microbial communities (microbiomes) for biotechnological applications has steadily increased over the past decades. However, these microbiomes are not readily available from public culture collections, hampering their potential for widespread use. The main reason for this lack of availability is the lack of an effective cryopreservation protocol. Due to this critical need, we evaluated the functionality as well as the community structure of three different types of microbiomes before and after cryopreservation with two cryoprotective agents (CPA). Microbiomes were selected based upon relevance towards applications: (1) a methanotrophic co-culture (MOB), with potential for mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, environmental pollutants removal and bioplastics production; (2) an oxygen limited autotrophic nitrification/denitrification (OLAND) biofilm, with enhanced economic and ecological benefits for wastewater treatment, and (3) fecal material from a human donor, with potential ...
In the past two decades, laboratories around the world have produced thousands of mutant, transgenic, and wild-type zebrafish lines for biomedical research. Although slow-freezing cryopreservation of zebrafish sperm has been available for 30 years, current protocols lack standardization and yield inconsistent post-thaw fertilization rates. Cell cryopreservation cannot be improved without basic physiological knowledge, which was lacking for zebrafish sperm. The first goal was to define basic cryobiological values for wild-type zebrafish sperm and to evaluate how modern physiological methods could aid in developing improved cryopreservation protocols. Coulter counting methods measured an osmotically inactive water fraction (Vb) of 0.37+/-0.02 (SEM), an isosmotic cell volume (V(o)) of 12.1+/-0.2mum(3) (SEM), a water permeability (L(p)) in 10% dimethyl sulfoxide of 0.021+/-0.001(SEM)mum/min/atm, and a cryoprotectant permeability (P(s)) of 0.10+/-0.01 (SEM)x10(-3)cm/min.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are increasingly used as therapeutic agents as well as research tools in regenerative medicine. Development of technologies which allow storing and banking of MSC with minimal loss of cell viability, differentiation capacity, and function is required for clinical and research applications. Cryopreservation is the most effective way to preserve cells long term, but it involves potentially cytotoxic compounds and processing steps. Here, we investigate the effect of decreasing dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) concentrations in cryosolution by substituting with hydroxyethyl starch (HES) of different molecular weights using different freezing rates. Post-thaw viability, phenotype and osteogenic differentiation capacity of MSCs were analysed. The study confirms that, for rat MSC, cryopreservation effects need to be assessed some time after, rather than immediately after thawing. MSCs cryopreserved with HES maintain their characteristic cell surface marker expression as well as the

I15 Should Cryoprotectants be Formulated According to the Mouse Genome?. Mike Legge, Mat Byers and Stephen Bird. Molecular Embryology Group, Department of Biochemistry, University of Otago, PO BOX 56 Dunedin, New Zealand. The use of penetrating cryporotectants such as dimethyl sulphoxide and I,2-propanediol is well established for mouse embryo cryopreservation. However, the sensitivity of both oocytes and embryos to adverse effects of both cryoprotectants and the freezing process is well documented (Duliquost et al. 1999). For mouse genome cryopreservation this is especially important as there is a correlation between mouse embryo genotype and cryopreservation success. (Schmidt et al. 1985). With the increasing necessity to archive mouse genomes by embryo and gamete cryopreservation the improvement in cryoprotectant formulations is becoming increasingly important. Recently we identified the non-enzymatic formation of formaldehyde in cryoprotectant solutions and that at the micro-molar ...
Mouse half ovaries were cryopreserved and orthotopically transplanted into ovariectomized recipients genetically identical to ovary donors except for the coat color gene. Fertility was reestablished in 57% of the female recipients, which became pregnant in an average of 40 days after transplantation of frozen-thawed half ovaries. These experiments demonstrate that ovary cryopreservation can be a very useful option for banking mouse germplasm, or managing subfertile animal colonies, when embryo or sperm freezing cannot be used or is not cost effective.
Cryopreservation of in vivo derived Jersey bovine embryos have resulted in a 10% lower pregnancy rate compared to other dairy breeds. Poor embryo survival after cryopreservation has been partially attributed to the high lipid content of Jersey embryos. In vitro-produced (IVP) bovine embryos have darker cytoplasm than their in vivo-derived counterparts because of higher lipid accumulation. High lipid accumulation is associated with impaired embryo quality. Forskolin is an adenylate cyclase activator that regulates cAMP levels in cells and has been shown to induce lipolysis in IVP embryos. L-carnitine is required for transport of fatty acids from the intermembrane space of the mitochondria into the mitochondrial matrix to support the process of β-oxidation, and enhances ATP production. We hypothesized that the lipid content of in vivo-produced and IVP Jersey embryos is higher than respective Holstein embryos and that forskolin + L-carnitine would reduce lipid content of IVP embryos and vitrification with

BACKGROUND: Cryopreserved human sperm are used in assisted reproductive technology. However, the effect of cryopreservation on sperm DNA integrity is unclear. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to: (i) determine the impact of semen cryopreservation on human sperm DNA integrity and chromatin structure; (ii) test if parameters obtained from TUNEL and SCSA® correlate; and (iii) verify correlation between sperm motility, morphology and viability with TUNEL and SCSA® parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Men attending a fertility clinic were recruited and grouped according to their sperm parameters (n = 9/group): normozoospermia, oligoasthenoteratozoospermia and teratozoospermia. Each semen sample was processed as follow: (i) directly frozen at -80 °C; (ii) diluted in Sperm Maintenance Medium, cooled for 30 min at 4 °C and frozen at -80 °C; (iii) diluted in Sperm Maintenance Medium; or (iv) in SpermFreeze. Each mixture from method (iii) and (iv) was then suspended for 30 min in liquid nitrogen
Cryopreservation is the preservation of cells, tissues or even organs at very low temperatures, with the intention of future use. At the temperature of -196oC, metabolism stops and the cells enter a state of suspended animation making it possible to store them for a long time. To achieve such a low temperature we use liquid nitrogen. The first successful cryopreservation was performed in frogs in 1945. The first animal sperm banks operated in 1949. The first successful inseminations I the human were reported in 1953 (preservation in dry ice, -70oC) and in 1964 in liquid nitrogen. Embryo cryopreservation was first performed in laboratory animals in 1972 and in human in 1984.. Today, cryopreservation is a routine method, allowing the storage of gametes and embryos for an extended period.. ...

Whenever a sudden shift is made from fresh embryo transfer to frozen embryo transfer the couple usually have many queries in mind. So, lets evaluate both and see pros and cons.. Fresh embryos transfer is undergoing ovarian hyper stimulation making of embryos and transferring resultant embryos to uterine cavity in same cycle. In frozen embryo transfer first two steps of controlled ovarian hyper stimulation and process of IVF/ICSI are same but the resultant embryos are frozen using vitrification techniques and not transferred in same cycle. They are thawed and then kept uterine cavity after preparing the uterine cavity. In patients who are normal or hyper responders the frozen embryo transfers are known to have better results than the fresh embryo transfer . The reason can be that due to ovarian hyper stimulation and high levels of estrogen may have negative impacts on the endometrial receptivity. In some cycles another hormone called progesterone may also be raised, which again decreases embryo ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - The bioenergetics of mitochondria after cryopreservation. AU - Fuller, Barry J.. AU - Rubinacci, Alessandro. AU - Geboes, Karel. AU - De Loecker, William. PY - 1989. Y1 - 1989. N2 - The functional characteristics of rat liver mitochondria after cryopreservation with and without the addition of the cryoprotectant dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) were evaluated. As criteria of functional integrity, polarographic measurements of substrate-linked oxygen consumption and luminescent assay of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis were considered before and after cryopreservation. The results demonstrated that mitochondrial damage after freezing was indicated by the polarographic studies but was not evident when ATP synthesis was considered. Me2SO present during cryopreservation was partially protective for mitochondrial substrate-linked oxygen consumption; however, simple exposure to and dilution from Me2SO effected some changes in mitochondrial function.. AB - The functional characteristics ...
Sometimes couples undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) need more than a single cycle to conceive. In recent years, frozen embryo transfers (FET) has become a popular option before moving to a fresh IVF cycle. FET at PRC allows you to extend the chance of pregnancy per egg retrieval, saving you time and money.. FROZEN EMBRYO TRANSFER (FET). A frozen embryo transfer (FET) is a cycle in which the frozen embryos from a previous fresh IVF or donor egg cycle are thawed and then transferred back into the womans uterus.. Lower Cost. The cost of frozen egg transfer is significantly lesser than a fresh cycle of IVF. This combination of reduced cost and equal success rates makes frozen embryo transfers an exciting option over fresh IVF cycle at the top IVF & egg fertility clinic in Los Angeles.. Less Medication. In a fresh cycle, you would again need to take stimulation medication. On the other hand FET IVF & egg fertility clinic in Los Angeles just requires you to use estrogen and progesterone to ...
A cohort of 91 children from cryopreserved embryos and 83 control children who were conceived normally had their development assessed using the Griffithss scales of mental development. The controls (81 singletons and two twins) of a similar age, sex, and social class were selected from siblings, cousins, and peers of the cryopreserved embryo group (68 singleton, 20 twins, and three triplets). Children from cryopreserved embryos had a lower mean birth weight and mean gestational age and a higher proportion were born by caesarean section. One child from the cryopreserved embryo group had Downs syndrome, three had squints, and four had conductive hearing loss while in the control children, six had squints, and nine had conductive hearing loss. In both groups, including the child with Downs syndrome, the mean Griffithss quotient was greater than the standard 100. In the children from cryopreserved embryos, the singleton and multiple birth subgroups had statistically similar assessment results. ...

For encapsulation-dehydration, encapsulated protocorms (beads) were dehydrated for 0-6 h. In the case of encapsulation-vitrification, the beads were loaded with a plant vitrification solution 2 (PVS2) at 0°C for 0-90 min. RESULTS: Protocorms precultured for 3 d gave the highest post-cryopreservation survival of 17%. Dehydration of the encapsulated protocorm beads for 4 h gave the highest survival of 33% and a regrowth of 25%. Protocorms subjected to the encapsulation- vitrification method did not survive at all. CONCLUSION: Protocorms precultured with 0.5 M sucrose for 3 d, encapsulated with 3% sodium alginate and dehydrated to a ...
According to a recent report from the HFEA features a pattern towards Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) enlistments across the globe. It states that frozen embryo transfer has been increasingly seen as a mainstream embryo transfer protocol.. HFEA measurements depict that fresh embryo transfers dropped by 11 percent somewhere in the range of 2013 to 2018. On the other hand, frozen embryo transfers nearly multiplied, representing 38% of all In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) cycles in 2018.. At one center, frozen embryo banks outperformed intercontinental donations as a treatment for donors from upcoming years after 2014. Hence, of the 1283 donor cycles finished somewhere in the range of 2005 to 2013. Out of these, 88 percent were treated as treatments from other states, yet today 95% of egg donors have moved to frozen donor eggs, in egg bank.. Also, the pattern of blastocyst transmission in some centers mirrors a similar trend now, that is currently clear in the developing enlistment information: ...
Both proceedures have seen great success rates in the last five years and thousands of baby boys and girls have been born using this technology.. Endocrine Abstracts says, Semen cryopreservation is a viable fertility preservation option for adolescent cancer patients, and should be offered to all before treatment, acknowledging the caveat of a ~50% chance of success. Pubertal staging is the only significant prognosticator of this and should be routinely assessed as part of the counselling process.. While the ethics surrounding fertility preservation in younger cancer patients are being debated, research is ongoing to take fertility tissue from patients where eggs and sperm are not necessarily matured or viable.. Speak to your health professional about fertility preservation options they may be aware of. The two of you will be able to decide if the process is right for you and decide on your next steps.. If youre wary of fertility options, remember, Geoff has managed to father two beautiful ...
Diatoms constitute the most diverse group of microalgae and have long been recognised for their large biotechnological potential. In the wake of growing research interest in new model species and development of commercial applications, there is a pressing need for long-term preservation of diatom strains. While cryopreservation using dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) as a cryoprotective agent is the preferred method for long-term strain preservation, many diatom species cannot be successfully cryopreserved using DMSO. Therefore, in this study, we studied cryopreservation success in six different diatom species, representing the major morphological and ecological diatom groups, using a range of DMSO concentrations and Plant Vitrification Solution 2 (PVS2) as an alternative cryoprotectant to DMSO. In addition, we tested whether suppressing bacterial growth by antibiotics accelerates the post-thaw recovery process. Our results show that the effects of cryoprotectant choice, its concentration and the ...
There is a lump sum due at the time of cryopreservation. This pays for the cost of transportation, cryopreservation protocols, and also for ongoing costs of maintenance for the cryonics patient. This lump sum is normally covered with a dedicated life insurance policy.. Cryonics organizations also have membership dues, which are separate from the cost of the cryonics life insurance. There are no additional costs due once a member is in cryopreservation.. ...
Cryopreservation is a reliable means for the long-term conservation of plant genetic resources. It is of particular interest for cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) whose seeds are recalcitrant to conventional storage methods and field collections susceptible to disease infestations. However, the encapsulationdehydration procedure previously developed for cocoa somatic embryos has resulted in poor survival after retrieval from liquid nitrogen. To examine the causes of such failure, cocoa somatic embryos following each treatment step of the encapsulation-dehydration procedure were examined using a combination of confocal scanning laser microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Results showed that the parenchymas cells of the hypocotyl and radicle were the major sites of injury possibly due to their large size and non-cytoplasmic nature, whereas the shoot meristem and provascular strand were well preserved throughout the treatments. In general, cell deformation and/or disruption was observed following the
The summer flounder, Paralichthys dentatus L., is a high-value species and considerable research has been conducted to determine practices conducive for its culture. As milt can be limited in this species, experiments were conducted to develop a practical sperm cryopreservation protocol for hatchery use. Two dilution ratios (1:2 and 1:4; sperm:extender), 2 diluents (saline and sucrose-based), 2 cryoprotectants (10% DMSO and 12% glycerol) and 3 freezing rates (?5, ?10 and ?15°C min?1) were evaluated using differential staining to assess post-thaw sperm survival. Seven combinations of the factors examined reduced post-thaw viability by less than 30%. The average viability of sperm from fresh, pooled flounder milt (67.2 ± 2.9%) was not different from that of thawed milt diluted 1:4 with sucrose diluent (10% DMSO) frozen at ?5°C min?1 (38.4 ± 7.7%) and fertilization and hatch success were not different in trials using fresh or thawed, cryopreserved sperm. From these experiments a practical

Despite of important advances in the knowledge of the reproductive biology of several deer species (mainly, red deer), there is a lot to investigate. We are trying to answer a practical and a basic question: how can we improve sperm cryopreservation in cervids? and, which underlying, cellular and molecular, changes occur during cooling and cryopreservation?. These are important questions not only for our Iberian deer species (Iberian red deer and roe deer), but also to endangered cervids elsewhere in the world (specially South-American species such as the huemul and pudu). Technology transfer from well-known species to related but less studied species might improve their conservation.. ...

In experiment 1, motility, viability and acrosomal integrity in extender A were higher than in extender B and extender C, and ...
IVF and ICSI are fully established methods of assisted reproduction which can be used for patients awaiting cytotoxic therapy:. Following the data of the German, Swiss and Austrian network Fertiprotekt (www.fertiprotekt.eu), 164 of 1388 counselled patients have chosen ovarian stimulation and cryopreservation of oocytes as a fertility preservation technique in 2007 2009. Among those patients 2417 oocytes were collected (Mean: 11.8, Range 0 41, STD 7.3). In 125 patients oocytes were fertilized and cryopreserved, resulting in an fertilisation rate of 70.5%/aspirated oocyte. Only in one patient, chemotherapy needed to be postponed due to severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.. These data reveal that ovarian stimulation can result in adequate numbers of oocytes. However, they also demonstrate, that this technique is not successful in all patients. Combination with cryopreservation of ovarian tissue should therefore be considered. FertiPROTEKT performed a study in which 50% of one ovary was removed ...

Summary answer: Results ... [more ▼]. Study question: In a model reproducing early ischemia after ovarian tissue transplantation, does the pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK could prevent granulosa cell apoptosis? Summary answer: Results obtained with HGL5 granulosa cell line suggest that Z-VAD-FMK is efficient to protect granulosa cells from etoposide or CoCl2 induced apoptosis. What is known already: Removal, cryopreservation and subsequent graft of ovarian strips after cancer treatment have been successfully used to re-establish female fertility. However, the pregnancy rate after autografting of cryopreserved tissue is about 30%. Indeed, the major problem after transplantation is follicular loss due to ischemic reperfusion injury. Study design, size, duration: Three human granulosa cell lines (GC1a, ...

N2 - Background: Recently described slow-cooling cryopreservation protocols involving elevated sucrose concentration have improved survival frequencies of human oocytes, potentially overcoming a major hurdle that has limited the adoption of oocyte storage. Because implantation rates of embryos from frozen oocytes remain generally low, it is still debated whether, irrespective of survival rates, this form of cryopreservation leads inevitably to the disruption or complete loss of the metaphase II (MII) spindle. Methods: Human oocytes with an extruded polar body I (PBI) were cryopreserved using a slow-cooling method including 1.5 ...

Research from many laboratories over the past several decades indicates that invertebrate oocytes and eggs are extraordinarily difficult to freeze. Since starfish oocytes, eggs, and embryos are an important cell and developmental biology model system, there is great interest to cryopreserve these cells. Previous starfish oocyte cryopreservation studies using slow cooling protocols revealed that these cells are highly sensitive to osmotic stress and form intracellular ice at very high sub-zero temperatures, suggesting that common freezing methodologies may not prove useful. We report here that a short exposure to 1.5 M Me2SO/1 M trehalose in hypotonic salt solution followed by ultra-rapid cooling to cryogenic temperatures allows starfish oocytes to be cryopreserved with the average survival rate of 34% when normalized to control oocytes that were exposed to CPA, but not frozen. On average, 51% of the oocytes in 77% of the batches of frozen oocytes underwent meiotic maturation in response to the ...
Since the discovery of Vitrification in 2008, the pregnancy rate of frozen embryos is exactly the same or, in some cases, higher than that of fresh embryos transferred after In Vitro Fertilisation. Pregnancy rates are five times higher than the gestation rates of intrauterine insemination, which is why frozen embryo transfer is currently one of the most effective and safest techniques to welcome a baby home.. Frozen embryo transfer is the most effective and safest technique if we want to achieve a full-term pregnancy in cases of infertility or desire to be a mother. Pregnancy rates are related to the age of the couple, especially the mother, since it clearly accentuates the possibility of gestation.. ...

The delivery rate achieved after the vitrification of early cleavage- and blastocyst-stage embryos is not affected by the embryo developmental stage or any other variable related to the warming cycle.
Frozen embryo transfers have higher success rates than fresh embryo transfers. Within frozen embryo transfers there are natural and programmed cycles. Each have tradeoffs in terms of cost, intensity, drug requirements and more.
Results of this study10 were surprising, to say the least. Without going into the specifics of different types of fertility preservation and their respective indications, less than half of the respondents (45.6%) reported being aware of fertility preservation. Specialists in O&G fared no better in this regard with only half (50.7%) of the respondents reporting themselves as being aware. As expected, O&G specialists were more aware of fertility-preservation techniques in females such as oocyte- and embryo-freezing as well as ovarian tissue freezing, than their non-O&G counterparts. Interestingly, when respondents were further asked about individual fertility-preservation procedures, an increased awareness was found. In fact, a higher percentage of the same O&G specialists in this study reported to be familiar with all of the above fertility-preservation techniques previously itemised, compared with being aware of fertility preservation per se (63.6% vs 50.7%). These findings highlight a ...
Ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) is offered to women treated for acute leukemia to preserve their fertility before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The risk of leukemic infiltration in ovarian samples harvested before administration of chemotherapy limits ovarian tissue transplantations. We assessed the minimal residual disease (MRD) by sensitive quantitative polymerase chain reaction in cryopreserved ovarian cortex and medulla samples harvested from 30 patients in complete remission of acute leukemia, including 60 % with negative bone marrow MRD at the time of OTC. Ovarian MRD was undetectable in 21 patients (70%), detectable below 10-4 in 8 patients (27%) and between 10-3 and 10-4 in 1 patient (3%). Twenty patients (67%) had concordant MRD between bone marrow and ovarian samples. Interestingly 4 patients had positive MRD in ovarian samples while undetectable in bone marrow. Our results underline the importance of reaching the best control of the disease with undetectable or low ...

In order to address these challenges, freezing-induced cell-fluid-matrix interactions should be understood, which determine the post-thaw cell viability and extracellular matrix (ECM) microstructure. However, the current understanding of this tissue-level biophysical interaction is still limited. In ...

The purpose of this study was to test of efficacy of melatonin on the Optimizing of cryopreservation media in the testis tissue samples. Testes from neonate BALB/c mice were vitrified and then thawed under standard condition with or without the addition of 100 μM melatonin to both of vitrification and thawing solution. After that, Vitrified-thawed whole testes were digested under standard condition and subsequent viability of the cells in the suspension was analyzed using cytotoxicity kit and Apo-Brdu tunnel assay kit. The mean proportion of apoptotic testicular cells in the treated vitrified-thawed testes in comparison to no-treated ones was noted significantly (5.2±0.47 vs. 1.56±0.62, respectively). Moreover, melatonin cause decreasing the viability of the treated vitrified-thawed testicular cells in compared to no-treated vitrified-thawed testicular cells (4.78±0.46 vs. 8.39±0.76, respectively). In addition, the mean cytotoxicity of melatonin on the vitrified-thawed testicular cells was ...

The Fertility Preservation Program also will endeavor to aid women and girls who are starting cancer treatment or preparing for a bone marrow transplant. Currently their choices are quite limited and, for many, biologically impossible or morally unacceptable, noted Joseph S. Sanfilippo, M.D., director of the Center for Fertility and Reproductive Endocrinology at Magee-Womens Hospital.. Women can undergo ovarian stimulation to generate multiple mature eggs, which can then be fertilized with partner or donor sperm to produce embryos for later implantation and possible pregnancy, he said. These techniques are now well-established, and we will offer them to female patients who wish to pursue this option. Another option is ovarian cryopreservation, where an ovary is removed before cancer therapy is initiated with the plan to replace ovarian tissue once the patient is cured.. Still, the stimulation technique takes time and could delay cancer treatment. It also produces high estrogen levels that ...
