Plasma-derived extracellular vesicles improve mice embryo development.

BACKGROUND: To investigate the effect of plasma-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) or conventional medium in fertilization and early embryo development rate in mice.

METHODS AND RESULTS: MII oocytes (matured in vivo or in vitro conditions) were obtained from female mice. The extracellular vesicles were isolated by ultracentrifugation of plasma and were analyzed and measured for size and morphology by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). By western blotting analysis, the EVs proteins markers such as CD82 protein and heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) were investigated. Incorporating DiI-labeled EVs within the oocyte cytoplasm was visible at 23 h in oocyte cytoplasm. Also, the effective proteins in the early reproductive process were determined in isolated EVs by western blotting. These EVs had a positive effect on the fertilization rate (P < 0.05). The early embryo development (8 cell, morula and blastocyst stages) was higher in groups supplemented with EVs (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSION: Our findings showed that supplementing in vitro maturation media with EVs derived- plasma was beneficial for mice's embryo development.
