Controlled Ice Nucleation With a Sand-PDMS Film Device Enhances Cryopreservation of Mouse Preantral Ovarian Follicles.
Ovarian follicle cryopreservation is a promising strategy for fertility preservation; however, cryopreservation protocols have room for improvement to maximize post-thaw follicle viability and quality. Current slow-freezing protocols use either manual ice-seeding in combination with expensive programmable-rate freezers or other clinically incompatible ice initiators to control the ice-seeding temperature in the extracellular solution, a critical parameter that impacts post-cryopreservation cell/tissue quality. Previously, sand has been shown to be an excellent, biocompatible ice initiator, and its use in cryopreservation of human induced pluripotent stem cells enables high cell viability and quality after cryopreservation. This study applies sand as an ice initiator to cryopreserve multicellular microtissue, preantral ovarian follicles, using a simple slow-freezing protocol in the mouse model. Ovarian follicles cryopreserved using the sand partially embedded in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film to seed ice in the extracellular solution exhibit healthy morphology, high viability, and the ability to grow similarly to fresh follicles in culture post-thaw. This sand-based cryopreservation strategy can facilitate convenient ovarian follicle cryopreservation using simple equipment, and this study further demonstrates the translatability of this strategy to not only single cells but also multicellular tissues.
