Although both intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and round spermatid injection (ROSI) are used in infertility treatments, the rate of offspring achieved with ROSI is low compared with that achieved with ICSI. The difficulty in correctly selecting round spermatids from testicular cells is one of the causes of this phenomenon. We easily selected live round spermatids from testicular cells stained with 20 nM MitoTracker, which visualizes mitochondria without killing the cell. Using this method, we divided round spermatids into three groups based on the polarization of their mitochondria, and performed ROSI. The rate of successful offspring achieved with MitoTracker-stained ROSI was the same in all groups. This indicates that changes in the polarization of mitochondria in round spermatids are not directly related to the developmental capacity of subsequently fertilized embryos. Because this staining has no harmful effects on embryo development, the selection of spermatids by MitoTracker under a fluorescence microscope should be useful in research into and the treatment of infertility.

The present research investigated the effects of various strontium concentrations, in combination with different incubation periods, on mouse parthenogentic oocyte activation and blastocyst development. The results for blastocyst development showed a trend indicating that 10 mM strontium for 3 h was the optimal strontium protocol. Ethanol, an agent that incites oocyte activation via a monotonic rise in calcium, was employed as a control. The outcome of blastocyst formation arising from parthenogenic ethanol activation was significantly less (P < 0.001) than that achieved by the optimal strontium protocol. To assess the impact of strontium oocyte activation on embryo viability following fertilization with immature germ cells, the protocol of 10 mM strontium for 3 h was applied to oocytes injected with round spermatids and then compared with other protocols. The results indicate that following round-spermatid injection the benefits derived from strontium artificial oocyte activation are evident during both pre- and post-implantation development. However, in order to adjust the protocol to the most effective round-spermatid injection in relation to the oocyte cell cycle, injection was done 1.5 h after strontium activation followed by another 1.5 h activation in strontium. The implementation of round-spermatid injection in combination with this oocyte-activation protocol led to live-birth outcomes not significantly different to those outcomes obtained by mature spermatozoa.

AbstractTrichostatin A (TSA), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, is a known teratogen causing malformations such as vertebral fusions when applied during the postimplantation period; TSA also causes developmental arrest when applied during the preimplantation period. Regardless of these hindrances, we have succeeded in the establishment of an efficient somatic cloning method for the mouse where reconstructed embryos are treated with TSA. To elucidate this apparent discrepancy, we treated fertilized mouse embryos generated either by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) or round spermatid injection (ROSI) with 50 nM TSA for 20 h after fertilization as well as parthenogenetic embryos and found that TSA treatment inhibited the preimplantation development of ICSI embryos but not ROSI or parthenogenetic embryos. And, although we often observed hypomorphism following TSA treatment in embryos grown to full term produced by both ICSI (av. of body weight: 1.7 g vs. 1.5 g) and ROSI (1.6 g vs. 1.2 g), TSA treatment reduced the offspring production rate for ICSI from 57% to 34% but not for ROSI from 30% to 36%. Thus, these data indicate that the effects, harmful or not, of TSA treatment on embryonic development depend on their nuclear derivations. Also, the resulting hypomorphism after TSA treatment is a caveat for this procedure in current Assisted Reproductive Technologies.
