Chromosome constitution in embryos generated after in vitro maturation in a culture system supplemented with cAMP modulators

ABSTRACT: Ten volunteers underwent 13 research IVM cycles. Immature oocytes were retrieved after mild ovarian stimulation with gonadotropins but no hCG ovulation trigger, in vitro matured and fertilized using ICSI. Oocyte maturation rate in vitro was 47% (94/199), the mean fertilization rate was 71% (67/94) and 37% (25/67) of mature oocytes developed into a morphologically good quality embryo on day 3 after ICSI, after which the blastomeres were analysed by single-cell aCGH. Sixty-seven of the 111 blastomeres analysed showed at least one chromosomal abnormality. Two out of seventeen embryos had only normal cells while one embryo carried a meiotic abnormality, 11 were mosaic and three were chaotic. Although the number of embryos tested as well as the data available in the literature are too small to allow any statistical analysis, these data are comparable to the few data available on the total chromosome complement of day 3 ICSI embryos. This would indicate that other mechanisms than chromosomal abnormalities explain the low efficiency and high miscarriage rate in IVM cycles.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to identify differentially expressed genes and pathways between the cumulus of compact/unstimulated cumulus-oocyte-complex (COC) and the cumulus of expanded/stimulated COC. Methods: mRNA profiles of Compact/unstimulated cumulus cells (CCs) from germinal vesicle (GV) COC obtained from two patients undergoing unstimulated IVM procedure and expanded/stimulated CCs from metaphase 2 (MII) COC obtained from three patients undergoing IVF/ICSI were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were mapped to the human genome (hg19) using Tophat software. Differential expression analysis was done using DESeq bioconductor package. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results: A total of 40-80 million sequence reads per sample were mapped to the human genome (hg19). A total of 1746 differentially expressed genes between compact and expanded CCs with fold change > 2, and adjusted p value < 0.05 were identified. Gene ontology analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed a number of cellular processes regulated during the periovulatory interval including cellular movement, inflammatory response, immune cell trafficking, tissue development, lipid metabolism, tissue morphology, DNA replication and cell cycle. A total of 116 of the differentially expressed genes were annotated as long non-coding RNAs, 10 of them coded from introns of genes known to be involved in granulosa cell processes suggesting that unique non coding RNA transcripts may contribute to the regulation of cumulus expansion and oocyte maturation. Results were validated using qRT-PCR. Conclusions: Using global transcriptome sequencing we identified new important genes and non coding RNAs involved in COC maturation and cumulus expansion, which may contribute to improve the process of in vitro maturation of immature oocytes utilized in IVM cycles mRNA profiles of Compact/unstimulated cumulus cells (CCs) from germinal vesicle (GV) COC obtained from two patients undergoing unstimulated IVM procedure and expanded/stimulated CCs from metaphase 2 (MII) COC obtained from three patients undergoing IVF/ICSI were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Project description:Following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), in vitro culture (IVC) in ART media causes imbalance in the blastocyst's inner cell mass (ICM)with reduction of the primitive endoderm compartment compared to non-IVC blastocystsFollowing embryo transfer (ET), these imbalances do not influence birth rates, and the postnatal effects are inconspicuous. ICSI alters gene expression in mouse embryos. Choice of embryo culture media has been correlated with birth and body growth rates in human studies. No analysis has yet been made combining ICSI and IVC in the mouse. We produced mouse concepti by ICSI followed by IVC and ET so as to mimic,at least in part, the way human embryos are produced and handled in the clinical practice. Fertilized oocytes were cultured in two sets of sequential ART media, compared with an optimized mouse medium and with the mouse oviduct. Embryos were analyzed or implanted to produce newborns. In total, 3706 fertilized mouse oocytes, 1672 blastocysts and 78 newborns were examined during the course of the study. Mice of the B6C3F1, C57Bl/6 and CD1 strains were used as oocyte donors, sperm donors and embryo recipients, respectively. B6C3F1 oocytes were fertilized by intracytoplasmic C57Bl/6 sperm injection and were allowed to cleave in HTF/MultiBlast and in ISM1/ISM2 sequential culture protocols as well as in optimized mouse medium (KSOM(aa)) and in vivo in the CD1 mouse oviduct. Cleavage and blastocyst rates were analyzed by Wilcoxon / Kruskal-Wallis test and the blastocysts were split in two subgroups:one subgroup was analyzed for cell lineage allocation and for transcriptome, the other subgroup was transferred to genital tract, allowed to develop to term and characterized for birth rate, litter size, neonatal bodyweight and behavior using ANOVA F-test and t-test. The effects of ART media on blastocyst rates exceed those of ICSI. Protein and mRNA analysis reveal that IVC has a marked effect on the primitive endoderm lineage of ICSI blastocysts. In contrast to preimplantation, birth rates after ET are indistinguishable not only among ICSI but also in comparison to non-injected controls. At birth, ICSI-IVC-ET concepti are outwardly normal and weigh the same as non-ICSI controls. Confounding effects of subfertility, lifestyle and genetic heterogeneity are reduced to a minimum in the hybrid inbred mouse model compared to human patients. Confounding effects of polyspermy and parthenogenetic activation are prevented by ICSI. There is more to ART than ICSI, IVC and ET, and only a small number of ART media were examined. Preimplantation effects of ART culture media can effectively be modeled in the mouse because the in vitro environment is suboptimal for both mouse and human. However, in the optimal uterine environment of their own species, mouse and human ART blastocysts may be supported and selected for differently, depending on species-specific features such as the kinetics of implantation and the endometrium. 14 samples were analyzed.
