Assessment of epigenome-related effects after TTC.
Reference | Type/Species (Cryopreservation Technique) |
Analysis (Technique) |
Main Outcome |
---|---|---|---|
Oblette et al. (2019) [83] | Murine in vitro culture of TT (solid surface vitrification including 2.1 mol/L DMSO and 2.7 mol/L EG or slow freezing including 1.5 mol/L DMSO) |
Testicular tissue after IVC (qPCR and immunofluorescent assay) |
Normal expression of epigenetic modification enzymes and gDNA methylation, but differences in histone modification |
Oblette et al. (2021) [82] | Murine in vitro culture of TT (slow freezing including 1.5M DMSO) |
Pre-implantation embryo (immunofluorescent assay) |
Normal post-translational histone modifications and altered gDNA methylation |
