Abstract
AbstractDevelopmental competence of in vitro matured cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) in conventional IVM (C.IVM) is lower than in vivo maturated COCs and is related to unsynchronized nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation. To overcome this dearth, COCs can be exposed to granulosa secreted factors in a two-step system. Therefore, in the first experiment, 1000 nM of C-type natriuretic peptide for 8 h was determined (CAPA), as the best time and concentration to retain oocytes in germinal vesicle stage. This condition, also reduces lipid droplets and increases the expression ofATGLandPLIN2involved in lipolysis and lipogenesis, respectively. In the second experiment, maturation was stimulated with prostaglandin E2 and amphiregulin for 18 h (CAPA-IVM), and their optimal concentrations based on blastocyst formation rates through in vitro fertilization (IVF) were determined as 1 and 600 nM, respectively. In the third experiment, the in vitro and in vivo developmental competency of SCNT embryos in CAPA-IVM group were determined. Despite similar blastocyst formation rates in IVF and SCNT between CAPA-IVM and C.IVM, the quality of blastocysts were quality was higher in CAPA-IVM, which reflected itself, as higher ICM/TE ratio and also expression ofNANOGin SCNT blastocysts. Pregnancy rate, live births rate and SCNT efficiency were not significant between CAPA-IVM and C.IVM groups. Therefore, CAPA-IVM can improve the developmental competency of SCNT derived embryos.
