Abstract
The inevitable use of the cryoprotectants (CPAs) during cryopreservation affects the low
viability of the cryopreserved oocytes and pregnancy rates either through CPA toxicity or
osmotic injury. The goal of this study is to develop an optimized CPA loading profile for
minimizing the exposure to CPA and the volume change of oocyte. A computational simulation has
been conducted to rationally design protocols that minimize the exposure to cryoprotectant and
the volume changes of oocyte. Using a coupled differential equation with hydraulic conductivity, solute permeability, and reflection coefficient of oocyte, oocyte volume changes are predicted as
function of time with the changes of the external CPA concentration. The computational
simulation suggests that controlled CPA loading profile produces less volume changes and less
total amounts of CPA exposure than uncontrolled CPA loading profile. Specifically, the volumetric
change (less than 10%) was obtained with the linear CPA loading profile while the volumetric
change in the conventional step-wise CPA profile was over 30%. The reduced volume change
can reduce the cellular damage from the osmotic injury during the pretreatment for the
cryopreservation. Thus, I believe that this computational modeling with controlled CPA profile will eventually help future advances in assisted reproductive technologies and fertility
preservation as well as in single cell analysis technology.
