Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the supplementation of embryo culture medium with antioxidant obtained from oily extract of Lippia origanoides on in vitro blastocyst development and quality. Oocytes collected from slaughterhouse ovaries were matured and fertilized in vitro following standard laboratory procedures. Zygotes were cultured in SOF medium supplemented according to the following treatments: T1 embryo culture medium without antioxidant supplementation; T2)50μM/mL Cysteamine; T3)2.5μg/mL; T4)5.0μg/mL and T5)10.0μg/mL of antioxidant obtained from oily extract of Lippia origanoides. On the seventh day of culture, the blastocysts were fixed and evaluated for apoptosis rates, number of total cell and inner cell mass cells by means of the TUNEL Test. The use of antioxidants during cultivation did not increase (P> 0.05) the final blastocyst production rate. The treatments T2, T3, T4 and T5 had the lowest (P< 0.05) apoptotic indexes (4.5±1.1%, 8.4±2.5%, 3.4±1.1% and 5.5±0.9%, respectively) when compared to T1 treatment (10.0±1.4%). The number of inner cell mass did not differ (P> 0.05) among embryos from different treatments. The addition of antioxidant obtained from oily extract of Lippia origanoides reduces the apoptosis rate and improves the quality without increasing the total in vitro production of bovine embryos.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to observe the developmental rates and the stage of development since fertilization of in vitro produced early stage buffalo embryos. Buffalo cumulus-oocyte complexes (COC’s) obtained from slaughterhouse ovaries were matured and fertilized in vitro. The fertilized oocytes (400) were then cultured in modified synthetic oviductal fluid (mSOF) medium containing bovine serum albumin (BSA) and fetal bovine serum (FBS) and evaluated for the developmental stages of preimplantation early stage embryos up to morula on 48 h, 72 h, 96 h and 7th day post fertilization. Highest percentage of 8 cell embryos were obtained followed by 16 cell, 2 cell, 4 cell and morula at the end of in vitro culture (IVC). Similarly, the mean embryo percent of 2 cell, 4 cell, 8 cell, 16 cell and morula stage at the end of IVC was 8.20±1.28, 6.50±0.97, 12.19±1.03, 11.83±0.96 and 5.27±0.87. The overall embryos developed at the end of IVC were 43.98±2.11%. The percentage of oocytes which arrested and subsequently degenerated were 56.02% till day 7 post-insemination. It can be concluded that early stage buffalo embryos till morulae can be produced by using modified synthetic oviductal fluid (mSOF) medium as embryo development medium but for further development, the supplementation of different growth factors required.

Using RT-PCR and glutathione level to study the effect of follicular fluid on in vitro maturation and gene expression of sheep oocytes. Saudi J Biol Sci 2018; 26:1216-1222. [PMID: 31516351 PMCID: PMC6733311 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2018.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2017] [Revised: 01/02/2018] [Accepted: 01/14/2018] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of sheep follicular fluid (SFF) supplementation of the in vitro maturation (IVM) media of sheep oocytes on the resumption of meiosis, glutathione (GSH) level, and expression of apoptosis (Bax, Bcl-2) as well as heat shock protein beta-1 (HSPB1) genes. Sheep ovaries were collected from the central slaughterhouse of Riyadh city, KSA. Oocytes were aspirated from 3 to 8 mm follicles. Sheep oocytes were cultured in maturation medium with different concentrations of sheep follicular fluid: 0% (control), 10%, 20% and 40% for 24 h. The results indicated that the maturation rate of oocytes was significantly (p ≤ .05) decreased in 40% SFF (36.87%) versus the control (61.3%), 10% SFF (63.95%) and 20% SFF (64.08%). The supplementation of the IVM medium with 10% SFF induced an intra-oocyte GSH concentration that was significantly higher than in sheep oocytes cultured with 20% and 40% SFF and similar to the GSH content in oocytes cultured without SFF. Real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis of gene expression revealed no significant differences in the Bax and HSPB1 genes between the control and 10% SFF, whereas they were significantly higher in 40% FF (p ≤ .05) compared to the control. The expression of Bax:Bcl-2 was significantly higher in 20% and 40% SFF compared to the control group. In conclusion, the addition of SFF to the IVM culture of sheep oocytes is recommended to support nuclear maturation and increase oocyte competence.
