In addition throughout the embryonic 2-cell, 4-cell, morula and blastocyst stages, the expression of four developmentally important genes (<jats:italic>Cx43, CDH1, DNMT1<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>HSPA14<\/jats:italic>) was analysed using the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Immature oocytes (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 550) were randomly assigned to non-vitrified (fresh) or cryotop vitrification groups using ethylene glycol (EG) with 1,2 propanediol (PROH) or dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO). After warming, oocytes survivability, embryo cleavage and embryonic developmental rates were not statistically different between the two cryoprotectants groups. However, the DMSO group had a lower (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt; 0.05) oocyte maturation rate compared with the fresh and PROH groups. For morula and blastocyst rates, the DMSO group achieved a lower (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt; 0.05) morula rate compared with the fresh group, while at the blastocyst stage, there were no differences between fresh and both cryoprotectants groups. For molecular analysis, at the 4-cell stage, most studied genes showed an inconsistent pattern of expression either from the PROH or DMSO groups. Noteworthily, these differences were limited at the morula and blastocyst stages. In conclusion, the cryotop method is sufficient for vitrification of immature bovine oocytes, both for embryonic developmental competence and at the molecular level. Moreover, PROH showed some advantage over DMSO as a cryoprotectant.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0967199414000653","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,26]],"date-time":"2014-11-26T07:33:53Z","timestamp":1416987233000},"page":"933-942","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The effect of vitrification of immature bovine oocytes to the subsequent<i>in vitro<\/i>development and gene expression"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Marwa S.","family":"Faheem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"E.","family":"Baron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"I.","family":"Carvalhais","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"A.","family":"Chaveiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"K.","family":"Pavani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"F.
