مستخلص: | Direct-transfer slow-cooling cryopreservation is a widely used method for bovine embryo cryopreservation. However, the transfer of cryopreserved embryos is associated with reduced pregnancy rates. Rho-associated coiled-coil containing kinase inhibitor (ROCKi) has shown promise in improving the viability of post-warmed vitrified bovine embryos. Our objective was to investigate the effects of ROCKi treatment prior to slow-cooling or after cryopreservation on embryo viability. In vitro produced bovine embryos (n = 571) were randomly assigned to one of five groups: No-cryopreservation control group (NC-C), C-C group were cryopreserved by slow-rate cooling without ROCKi at any point, R-C group were incubated with ROCKi for 2 h before cryopreservation, C-R group were not exposed to ROCKi prior to cryopreservation but were cultured with ROCKi after cryopreservation, and R-R group were exposed to ROCKi before and after cryopreservation. Treatment group was significantly associated with blastocoel re-expansion, hatching, and degeneration (P < 0.0001). Blastocoel re-expansion rates were lower (P < 0.05) in the C-C (75.2 ± 4.2%) and R-C (85.2 ± 4.7%) groups compared with the NC-C (99.0 ± 0.7%), C-R (94.7 ± 2.6%) and the R-R (94.5 ± 2.9%) groups. The median time to re-expansion was significantly slowest in the C-C group (650, 560-915 min), followed by the R-C group (538, 421-611 min), then the C-R and R-R groups were similar (291, 261-361 and 321, 271-371 min) and the NC-C group was the fastest (196, 161-230 min) (P < 0.05). Similarly, the post-thaw hatching rate was lower, and the median time to hatching slower in the C-C (58.1 ± 7.0%, 2,033, 1634-2820 min) and R-C (65.7 ± 6.9%, 1,853, 1494-2356 min) groups compared with the NC-C (81.7 ± 6.0%, 1,309, 1084-1514 min), C-R (77.2 ± 6.5%, 1,384, 1013-1754 min) and R-R (82.0 ± 5.3%, 1,209, 943-1424 min) groups. ROCKi supplementation after cryopreservation resulted in fewer degenerated embryos (C-R = 8.9 ± 2.8%, and R-R 7.1 ± 2.8%) compared to the C-C (26.8 ± 4.3%) and R-C (17.9 ± 5.7%) groups. Exposure to ROCKi both before cryopreservation and after-cryopreservation yielded the best outcomes, similar to NC-C control group without cryopreservation, and significantly better than the C-C control group without supplements. Exposure to ROCKi after cryopreservation demonstrated greater benefits compared to exposure before cryopreservation alone. These findings suggest that ROCKi can potentially enhance cryosurvival of bovine embryos.
