Effect of Gaseous Atmosphere on Different Supplementation Medium for In Vitro Canine Oocyte Maturation
2014
The aim of the present research was to verify the influence of two different atmosphere gases (A: 5%CO 2 , B: 5%CO 2 , 5%O 2 and 90%N 2 ) on three different maturation media on in vitro maturation (IVM) rates for oocytes from anoestrous and diestrous bitches that were cultured in vitro for 48h. Oocytes harvested from bitches were selected and allocated into three maturation media groups, cultured in atmosphere A or B. Group 1, oestrous bitch serum; Group 2, bovine serum albumin (BSA), glutamine, cisteamine; Group 3, BSA, estrogen (E 2 ), epidermal growth factor (EGF). Progression of nuclear maturation was evaluated under fluorescent microscopy after staining with Hoechst 33342 solution. The results demonstrated that different maturation media was not influenced by the atmosphere in any case. Group 1 showed the lowest maturation rates in both cases: 4.3±1.3 vs 7.3±2.1 and 7.9±2.5 for groups 1, 2 and 3 respectively in atmosphere A (p≤ 0.5), 0 vs 7.2± 2.9 and 9.3± 4.0 in atmosphere B (p= 0.33). Maturation rates were similar among treatments 2 and 3 in both atmospheres, were slightly higher for treatment 3. Moreover, group 1 obtained the highest degeneration rates: 65.5±7.3 vs 39.63±7.1, 28.19±6.4 (p= 0.018) and 71.43±12.2 vs 27.71±10, 25.33± 10.20 (p= 0.010) for mediums 1, 2, and 3 in atmospheres A and B respectively. Our findings indicate that atmosphere B seems to be more favorable habitat for canine oocytes and independently of gassed, maturation with not controlled supplementation, with estrous bitch serum, is not a good option.
