Effect of supplementing additives in leptin-enriched maturation medium during in vitro maturation and vitrification of goat oocytes
Effect of supplementing additives in leptin-enriched maturation medium during in vitro maturation and vitrification of goat oocytes
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of supplementing epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin-like growth factor-I(IGF-I), fetal bovine serum (FBS), and bovine serum albumin (BSA) in different combinations in a maturation medium (MM) comprisingTCM-199 + 5 μg/mL 17-β estradiol + 5 μg/mL ovine-luteinizing hormone (oLH) + 5 μg/mL pure follicle-stimulating hormone (pFSH)+ 100 μM/mL cysteamine containing the best concentration of leptin among 10/20/25/30 ng/mL on in vitro maturation (IVM) andsubsequent vitrification of matured goat oocytes. The IVM of oocytes was carried out in a CO2 incubator for 27 h at 38.5 °C. Thepercentage of oocytes with cumulus expansion and polar body extrusion was found to be highest in 25 ng/mL leptin at 47.37% and15.63%; rates of 66.67% and 28.57% were obtained when supplemented with 50 ng/mL IGF-I + 10 ng/mL EGF in medium containing 25ng/mL leptin as compared to the other media. The in vitro matured oocytes were vitrified in 5 M ethylene glycol + 5 M propylene glycolwith 0.5 M sucrose in TCM-199 + 20% FBS using liquid nitrogen. The highest percentage of morphologically intact in vitro maturedoocytes following vitrification was obtained in medium containing 25 ng/mL leptin (89.29%). It was concluded that addition of IGF-I+ EGF with 25 ng/mL leptin in MM yielded a higher rate of maturation of oocytes, and supplementation of 25 ng/mL leptin in MMresulted in a higher rate of morphologically intact vitrified oocytes, indicating the efficiency of leptin for cryotolerance.
