The red-rumped agouti is a wild rodent of ecological importance in South America because it acts as a seed disperser, and skin banks could serve as alternatives to conserve genetic variability. Nevertheless, the most suitable skin region for forming these banks must still be determined to guarantee tissue quality after cryopreservation. We harvested skin tissues from the ear, abdominal, and inguinal regions of red-rumped agouti and evaluated the effects of cryopreservation on the quantitative and qualitative histological parameters of these somatic tissues. All tissues were evaluated for ultrastructure, skin thickness, cell count, number of perinuclear halos, collagen density, proliferative activity, and cellular ability during culture. Cryopreservation altered the thicknesses of the abdominal and inguinal dermises. Cryopreservation did not alter the number of fibroblasts and perinuclear halos in any region. The abdominal region had a higher number of fibroblasts than the other regions. All groups showed increased collagen fibers after cryopreservation, while maintaining a similar proliferative potential. During culture, all regions presented with cell viability above 90 % before and after cryopreservation, and the doubling time was maintained. However, cells from the inguinal and abdominal regions had lower metabolic rates than those from the ear. In summary, the ear skin was found to be the best region for cell recovery. However, abdominal skin has shown positive results and may be an alternative source of somatic cells.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10897,"journal":{"name":"Cryobiology","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 105190"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142930572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The latter relies on the availability of as much as possible reproductively active spermatozoa, whose number after thawing decreases due to the accompanied freezing injury and the cytotoxicity of cryoprotectants. An innovative option to circumvent these obstacles is to make the freezing interface non-wettable, by coating it with rapeseed oil soot possessing intrinsic cryoprotective properties, delaying the ice formation and possibly providing identical rates of intracellular dehydration and extracellular crystallization. It may mean that this technique can reduce or avoid the need of harmful cryoprotective agents, but to reach such a developmental stage, the synergistic effect of certified cryoprotectants and cooling velocities on the efficiency of soot-mediated sperm cryopreservation must be clarified. With the intention to address this research gap, we reveal that the slow freezing/thawing of distinct mixtures of three cryoprotectants (SpermFreeze™, CryoSperm™ and DMSO) and the human semen of nine patients equalizes the percent of survived spermatozoa, but declines their curvilinear velocity. At instant freezing (∼7–20 s) and slow thawing, via specially-designed soot fabric-coated sheet metal cryoboxes, the inclusion of 10 % DMSO is noxious, but the post-thaw motility reaches 74–100 % independently of the cryoprotective solutes. These surprising findings are ascribed to the formation of a quasivitrified semen, whose complete freezing ensures a fraction of extracellular ice matching that from the equilibrium phase diagram, eluding the osmotic shocks and paving the path for future replacement of the classic vitrification.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10897,"journal":{"name":"Cryobiology","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 105195"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142930654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present research, we tested some serum-/xeno-free cryoprotective compositions including dimethyl sulfoxide (Me₂SO) and polymers for their osmotic impact and toxicity towards testicular interstitial cells (ICs). IC survival was determined after their contact with Me₂SO, dextran (D40), hydroxyethyl starch (HES), polyethylene glycols (PEG1500 and PEG400), or after cryopreservation and cryoprotective agent (CPA) removal. A ratiometric fluorescent membrane probe 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3-oxazole (probe O1O) was applied to assess changes in the plasma membrane of ICs. The cell survival study has shown that Me₂SO decreased IC survival in a time- and dosage-dependent manner.

Using probe O1O, we have demonstrated that the toxic effect also influenced the plasma membrane. IC membranes were not altered after incubation with 0.7 M Me₂SO. The presence of D40, HES, or PEGs in such Me₂SO containing media resulted in plasma membrane hydration and damage to the membranes of cells incubated with PEGs.

Like other hibernating species, this animal suppresses its metabolic rate by downregulating nonessential genes and processes in order to prolong available energy stores and limit waste accumulation throughout the season. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, single-stranded, noncoding RNAs that bind to mRNA and mediate post-transcriptional suppression, making miRNA ideal for modulating widespread changes in gene expression, including global downregulation typified by metabolic rate depression. Using next-generation sequencing, we analyzed an RNA-seq dataset to determine which miRNAs are differentially regulated during hibernation in the dormouse liver. We found that the expression of 19 miRNAs was altered during hibernation; however, only one major miRNA (miR-34a-5p) remained significantly downregulated after correcting for false discovery rate. Gene Ontology, KEGG Pathway Analysis, and DIANA-miRPath predicted that energy metabolism, nuclear-related functions such as histone binding, chromatin- and chromosomal binding, and the cell cycle are processes that may be differentially regulated during hibernation due to miRNA regulation. Taken together, our data suggest that miRNA influence appears to be strongly directed toward suppressing energy-intensive processes in the nucleus hence contributing to extend the animal's endogenous fuel reserves for the duration of hibernation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10897,"journal":{"name":"Cryobiology","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 105191"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142892300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, we found that resiquimod (R848), a TNF-α activator, increased the level of apoptosis in cryopreserved pSDSCs. When cryopreserved pSDSCs were treated with both LPA and R848, the protective effect of LPA against apoptosis was decreased.

Another notable challenge in developing the application is the lack of geometric data needed for designing matching thermal protocols. The objective of the current study is twofold: (i) to develop an effective geometric reconstruction method for the ovary, based on transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) data, and (ii) to perform a pilot study on the thermal effects associated with CPA loading with application to vitrification. This study includes screening of 127 TVUS imaging datasets of ovaries from healthy ovulatory participants, reconstruction of 14 geometric models, and thermally analyzing two representative geometric models of low and high mature follicles-to-organ volume ratios. Results of this study demonstrate that the proposed reconstruction method is faster and more accurate than that facilitated by commercially available software (SonoAVC, GE Healthcare). Two extremes were investigated: (1) complete vitrification of the ovary, and (2) crystallization of mature follicles while the remaining ovarian stroma vitrifies. CPA loading into the mature follicles is considered an outstanding cryopreservation challenge, but with very little impact on long-term fertility preservation.
