PG - 104834 LID - S0011-2240(23)00333-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2023.104834 [doi] AB - Maintaining appropriate intracellular calcium of oocytes is necessary to prevent ultrastructure and organelle damage caused by freezing and cryoprotectants. The present study aimed to investigate whether cryoprotectant-induced changes in the calcium concentrations of oocytes can be regulated to reduce damage to developmental potential and ultrastructure. A total of 33 mice and 1381 oocytes were used to explore the effects of intracellular calcium on the development and ultrastructures of oocytes subjected to 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) inhibition or thapsigargin (TG) stimulation. Results suggested that high levels intracellular calcium interfered with TG compromised oocyte survival (84.4 % vs. 93.4 %, p < 0.01) and blastocyst formation in fresh and cryopreservation oocytes (78.1 % vs. 86.4 %, and 60.5 % vs. 72.5 %, p < 0.05) compared with that of 2-APB pretreated oocytes in which Ca(2+) was stabilized even though no differences in fertilization and cleavage was detected (p > 0.05). Examination by transmission electron microscopy indicated that the microvilli decreased and shortened, cortical granules considerably decreased in the cortex area, mitochondrial vesicles and vacuoles increased, and the proportion of vacuole mitochondria increased after oocytes were exposed to cryoprotectants. The cryopreservation-warming process deteriorated the negative effects on organelles of survival oocytes. By contrast, a low level of intracellular calcium mediated with 2-APB was supposed to contribute to the protection of organelles. These findings suggested oocyte injuries induced by cryoprotectants and low temperatures can be alleviated. More studies are necessary to confirm the relationship among Ca(2+) concentration of the cytoplasm, ultrastructural injuries, and disrupted developmental potential in oocytes subjected to cryopreservation and warming.
