Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is the only feasible method for fertility preservation in prepubertal girls facing gonadotoxic chemotherapy. A study on a mouse model demonstrated the feasibility of retrieving and culturing secondary follicles from ovaries treated with increasing doses of cyclophosphamide, with the highest efficiency seen in the 100 mg/kg group.
Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is the only feasible method for fertility preservation in prepubertal girls that will undergo gonadotoxic chemotherapy. To date, the only clinical use of cryopreserved tissue is by a later tissue retransplantation to the patient. Clinical challenges in fertility preservation of very young patients with cancer include time constraints that do not allow to retrieve the tissue for cryopreservation before starting chemotherapy and the preclusion of future ovarian tissue transplantation due to the risk of reintroduction of malignant cells in patients with systemic diseases. To overcome these two challenges, we investigated using an experimental model the feasibility of retrieving secondary follicles from ovaries of prepubertal mice after cyclophosphamide (CPA) treatment in increasing doses of 50, 75, and 100 mg/kg. The follicles were thereafter cultured and matured in vitro. The main outcomes included the efficiency of the method in terms of obtained matured oocytes and the safety of these potentially fertility preservative procedures in terms of analyses of oocyte competence regarding normality of the spindle and chromosome configurations. Our findings demonstrated that it was feasible to isolate and culture secondary follicles and to obtain mature oocytes from prepubertal mice ovaries recently treated with CPA. The efficiency of this method was highly demonstrated in the 100 mg/kg CPA group, with near 90% follicle survival rate after 12 days' culture, similarly to control. Around 80% of the follicles met the criteria to put into maturation, and more than 40% of them achieved metaphase II, with normal spindle and chromosome configurations observed. Suboptimal results were obtained in the 50 and 75 mg/kg CPA groups. These paradoxical findings towards CPA dose might probably reflect a more difficult selection of damaged growing follicles from ovaries recently treated with lower doses of CPA and a hampered ability to identify and discard those with reduced viability for the culture.
