Although embryo vitrification has been used extensively in human assisted reproductive technology (ART) and animal models, epidemiologic evidence and randomized controlled trials suggest differences in pregnancy/perinatal outcomes (birthweight, risk for preterm birth, and pre-eclampsia) between babies born from fresh versus frozen embryo transfers. To address the uncertainty surrounding the effects of laboratory manipulations of embryos on clinical outcomes, we subjected mouse blastocysts to increasing levels of manipulation for transcriptome analysis. Blastocysts were randomly divided into four groups: no manipulation (control), single vitrification/thaw (1 vit), double vitrification/thaw (2 vit), and single vitrification/thaw plus trophectoderm biopsy and again vitrified/thawed (2 vit + bx). Three sets of 15 blastocysts in each group were pooled for RNA sequencing, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and pathways were determined by statistical analysis. Blastocysts were also stained for ZO-1 and F-actin to assess cytoskeletal integrity. Freeze/thaw and biopsy manipulation affected multiple biological pathways. The most significant differences were detected in genes related to innate immunity, apoptosis, and mitochondrial function, with the magnitude of change proportional to the extent to manipulation. Significant disruptions were also seen in cytoskeletal staining, with greater disruptions seen with greater of manipulation. Our data suggests that embryo vitrification and biopsy affect embryo gene transcription, with several identified DEGs that may have plausible mechanisms for the clinical outcomes seen in human offspring following ART. Further study is required to determine whether these alterations in gene expression are associated with clinical differences seen in children born from fresh or frozen embryo transfer.
