The aim of the present study was to compare the survival and developmental rate of canine isolated preantral follicles (PAFs) after cryopreservation with different methods (closed vs open vitrification). Follicles were isolated from ovaries randomly divided into three groups: fresh control, OPS (open pulled straw) vitrified and cryotube (CT) vitrified. Post-thaw viability of follicles and oocytes was assessed. Fresh and vitrified/thawed PAFs were cultured in 20 µl drops of FSH-supplemented medium for 10 days. Follicular growth, survival rate, estradiol production and ovulation rate were examined. CT method resulted in lower rate of live cells (58.7%) and oocytes (38.8%) than that of fresh ones (83.6% and 64%, respectively) and OPS (80.3% and 79.3%, respectively). Survival rate was similar to fresh follicles in OPS group (98.5% and 95.4%, respectively), while CT decreased the survival to 81.2%. Fresh follicles showed continuous growth, while CT follicles stopped to increase their size after 2 day. In the OPS vitrified follicles, this halting occurred between Day5 and Day10. Fresh follicles showed the highest estradiol production (range: 26.9 - 266.2 pg/ml). Comparing the two vitrified groups, lower estradiol concentration range was measured in the CT group (7.8-48.7 pg/ml vs. 15.4-89.6 pg/ml). Ovulation rate in each group was lowest in the OPS group (1.7% vs 7% and 8.9% in fesh and CT, respectively). Our data show that OPS vitrification provides superior survival rate, in vitro growth and hormonal production to CT. To our knowledge, these are the first results on comparing different cryopreservation protocols on canine isolated preantral follicles.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009865 Oocytes Female germ cells derived from OOGONIA and termed OOCYTES when they enter MEIOSIS. The primary oocytes begin meiosis but are arrested at the diplotene state until OVULATION at PUBERTY to give rise to haploid secondary oocytes or ova (OVUM). Ovocytes,Oocyte,Ovocyte
D010053 Ovary The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE. Ovaries
D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
D004958 Estradiol The 17-beta-isomer of estradiol, an aromatized C18 steroid with hydroxyl group at 3-beta- and 17-beta-position. Estradiol-17-beta is the most potent form of mammalian estrogenic steroids. 17 beta-Estradiol,Estradiol-17 beta,Oestradiol,17 beta-Oestradiol,Aerodiol,Delestrogen,Estrace,Estraderm TTS,Estradiol Anhydrous,Estradiol Hemihydrate,Estradiol Hemihydrate, (17 alpha)-Isomer,Estradiol Monohydrate,Estradiol Valerate,Estradiol Valeriante,Estradiol, (+-)-Isomer,Estradiol, (-)-Isomer,Estradiol, (16 alpha,17 alpha)-Isomer,Estradiol, (16 alpha,17 beta)-Isomer,Estradiol, (17-alpha)-Isomer,Estradiol, (8 alpha,17 beta)-(+-)-Isomer,Estradiol, (8 alpha,17 beta)-Isomer,Estradiol, (9 beta,17 alpha)-Isomer,Estradiol, (9 beta,17 beta)-Isomer,Estradiol, Monosodium Salt,Estradiol, Sodium Salt,Estradiol-17 alpha,Estradiol-17beta,Ovocyclin,Progynon-Depot,Progynova,Vivelle,17 beta Estradiol,17 beta Oestradiol,Estradiol 17 alpha,Estradiol 17 beta,Estradiol 17beta,Progynon Depot
D005260 Female Females
D006080 Ovarian Follicle An OOCYTE-containing structure in the cortex of the OVARY. The oocyte is enclosed by a layer of GRANULOSA CELLS providing a nourishing microenvironment (FOLLICULAR FLUID). The number and size of follicles vary depending on the age and reproductive state of the female. The growing follicles are divided into five stages: primary, secondary, tertiary, Graafian, and atretic. Follicular growth and steroidogenesis depend on the presence of GONADOTROPINS.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D015925 Cryopreservation Preservation of cells, tissues, organs, or embryos by freezing. In histological preparations, cryopreservation or cryofixation is used to maintain the existing form, structure, and chemical composition of all the constituent elements of the specimens. Cryofixation,Cryonic Suspension,Cryonic Suspensions,Suspension, Cryonic
D058989 Vitrification The transformation of a liquid to a glassy solid i.e., without the formation of crystals during the cooling process.
