The cryopreservation of unfertilized oocytes is valuable for both livestock and human. However, freezing procedure to oocyte induce many kinds damages such as cytoskeleton disorganization, and chromosome and DNA abnormalities. Especially, during mammalian oocyte meiotic maturation, a process called oocyte polarization occurs, which leads to a unique asymmetric division. Actin play key roles during oocyte polarization experiences several steps including spindle migration, spindle anchoring and cortical reorganization. However, how chilling stress affect to actin nucleation in oocytes is poorly studied. In this study, we investigated expressions and feature of Arp2/3 (actin activators), WAVE2 and JMY (nucleation promoting factors) in MІІ stage oocytes after different freezing procedure in oocytes. Results indicated that survival, IVF, developmental rates of vitrified-thawed oocytes were significantly higher than those of slow freezed oocytes. Especially, expressions of Arp2/3, WAVE2 and JMY in vitrified-thawed oocytes were similar with normal oocytes. However, expression of actin nucleation related genes in slow freezed group was significantly higher or lower than normal oocytes. Our results may suggested that slow freezing procedure to oocyte induced abnormal actin neucleation results in low survival and developmental rates.
