In vitro maturation (IVM) of human oocytes is an emerging treatment option for women with polycystic ovary/polycystic ovary syndrome (PCO/PCOS) in addition to the standard in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. There has been significant improvements in pregnancy rates with IVM over the last two decades. This article reviews the place of IVM for women with PCO/PCOS, placing an emphasis on the predictors of successful pregnancy, optimization of culture media, IVM protocols, pregnancy rates, and neonatal outcomes following IVM treatment.

Представлены результаты трансвагинальной аспирации ооцитов коров, а также оценен их потенциал к эмбриональному развитию после оплодотворения в условиях in vitro. Донорами яйцеклеток являлись половозрелые телки симментальской породы в возрасте 1619 мес. Животныедоноры (n7) перед проведением процедуры Ovum Pickup (OPU) были гормонально обработаны с целью стимуляции роста фолликулов. Количество выделенных ооцитов от индивидуальных доноров составило в среднем 7,7 ооциткумулюсных комплексов (ОКК), что соответствовало степени извлечения 54,57,7. Доля ОКК хорошего качества, рассчитанная от общего числа извлеченных ОКК, между отдельными животными существенно не различалась (значения варьировали от 60,0 до 75,0) и в среднем составила 67,21,9. ОКК с признаками нормальной морфологии подвергали in vitro процедурам созревания, оплодотворения и последующего культивирования до стадии бластоцисты. Доля раздробившихся ооцитов и выход бластоцист после in vitro осеменения яйцеклеток коров равнялась 75,7 и 24,3, соответственно. В целом от одного донора за сессию OPU было получено 1,3 эмбриона на стадии бластоцисты, содержащих в среднем 89,8 ядра. Оцененный способ экстракорпорального оплодотворения OPUооцитов коров позволяет получать эмбрионы, пригодные для замораживания и трансплантации реципиентам и может быть использован в программах по воспроизводству желаемых генотипов у крупного рогатого скота.In the present work, we report the data on transvaginal aspiration of bovine ovarian follicles and estimation of in vitro embryo development competence of collected oocytes. The oocytes were collected by ovum pickup OPU from seven 1619 monthold Simmental heifers, previously hormonallytreated in order to stimulate ovarian follicular growth. In average, 7.7 oocytecumulus complexes (OCCs) per heifer per OPU session were collected that corresponded to 54.57.7 of recovery rate. Morphologically, 60.075.0 of OCCs were the good quality and this rate did not significantly differ between the animals. Good quality OCCs (total n37) were then subjected to in vitro maturation, in vitro fertilization and in vitro embryo development up to blastocyst stage. Cleavage and blastocyst rates were 75.7 и 24.3 , respectively. In total, 1.3 blastocysts were obtained per cow per OPU session in average these blastocysts contained 89.9 cells. In conclusion, we developed the methodology of in vitro fertilization of bovine OPUcollected oocytes that allowed obtaining the blastocysts potentially suitable for freezing and transplantation to recipients. This approach can be used to multiply desired genotypes in cattle reproduction.

In vitro maturation and in vitro fertilization (IVM and IVF) of mammalian oocytes still show unsatisfactory results when applied to the study of embryo development. This is probably due to inadequate information about the use of media components and supplements for oocyte maturation and to a discrepancy between results obtained by focusing strictly on oocyte maturation and those that are focused on IVF. A conventional medium that provides adequate results in studies of oocyte maturation (TCM-199) contains hypoxanthine, phosphate ions, and glucose, all known to inhibit embryo development in vitro in some species. In contrast, it has been shown that a simpler medium (HECM-9) increases embryo development in bovine although its use for oocyte maturation has not been defined. This medium contains taurine (an amino acid that reduces intracellular peroxide content) and is supplemented with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) instead of using protein components, making it a simple defined medium that reduces variability in embryo development. Adding sodium panthothenate to media also confers cell protection against reactive oxygen species. Finally, supplements such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) increase the number of oocytes that complete maturation (Metaphase II, MII) and facilitate embryo development. An adequate combination of our knowledge about in vitro maturation and fertilization of oocytes, together with the requirements for embryo development, is important for the preparation of culture media to study regulatory mechanisms for embryo development and to increase the number of viable and normal term individuals. In this study we compared the effects of HECM-9 (containing panthothenate) vs. TCM-199 (both media supplemented with PVA, EGF, and FSH/LH) on the integrated processes involving IVM and IVF. No significant differences were found between the results obtained with these media in relation to oocyte maturation (65% MII for HECM-9 vs. 71% for TCM-199); however, those oocytes matured in HECM-9 showed a highly significant difference in in vitro fertilization using a conventional IVF medium (SOFm) (25% in HECM-9 vs. 6% in TCM-199). Maturation results were relatively low but in accordance with those reported by other groups, whereas IVF results are lower than those reported in the literature, perhaps because we have been using frozen and thawed samples and do not have complete control over the sperm quality. At present, we are extending our investigation using fresh semen samples.
