The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of vitrification on mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) in human metaphase II (MII) oocytes, and the changes of ΔΨm on thawed MII oocytes.
MII oocytes were obtained from clinical IVF cycles when the oocytes were failed to fertilization within 24 h after insemination. All oocytes were randomly divided into 4 groups: non-frozen (fresh group), cultured for 0 h (0 h group), 2 h (2 h group) and 4 h (4 h group) after vitrification/thawing. All oocytes were stained with the ΔΨm-specific probe JC-1 and detected by laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM) for mitochondrial analysis.
The ΔΨm of oocytes was significantly decreased in 0 h and 2 h groups when compared with fresh group (0.93, 1.09 vs 1.34, P < 0.05), but similar between 4 h group and fresh group (1.30 vs 1.34, P > 0.05).
In the vitrification/thawing process, the ΔΨm of MII oocytes could have temporally dynamic changes within 2 h after thawing but would be fully recovered after 4 h culture.
本研究旨在评估玻璃化对人中期 II(MII)卵母细胞线粒体膜电位(ΔΨm)的影响,以及ΔΨm 在解冻 MII 卵母细胞中的变化。
从临床 IVF 周期中获得 MII 卵母细胞,这些卵母细胞在受精后 24 小时内未能受精。所有卵母细胞随机分为 4 组:未冷冻(新鲜组)、玻璃化/解冻后培养 0 小时(0 小时组)、2 小时(2 小时组)和 4 小时(4 小时组)。所有卵母细胞均用 ΔΨm 特异性探针 JC-1 染色,并通过激光扫描共聚焦显微镜(LSCM)进行线粒体分析。
与新鲜组相比,0 小时和 2 小时组的卵母细胞ΔΨm 显著降低(0.93、1.09 与 1.34,P<0.05),但 4 小时组与新鲜组之间无差异(1.30 与 1.34,P>0.05)。
在玻璃化/解冻过程中,解冻后 2 小时内 MII 卵母细胞的ΔΨm 可能会发生暂时的动态变化,但在 4 小时培养后会完全恢复。
