Abstract Chilling injury is one of the major limiting factors for achieving optimal cryopreservation of gametes. This study aimed to determine potential chilling-induced damage on several structural aspects of early preantral mouse follicles. Mechanically isolated intact early preantral follicles (type 3b-4) were exposed to 0°C for 1, 5, 10, or 30 min. Control and chilled follicles were analyzed by confocal microscopy after staining for tubulin, F-actin, and chromatin, and by electron microscopy. Chilling for only 1 min was sufficient to cause depolymerization of microtubules in the oocyte and the surrounding granulosa cell layer as evidenced by a substantial decrease in fluorescence intensity after antitubulin labeling. Cooling for longer periods caused alterations in microtubule organization in the follicle-enclosed oocyte. These alterations included the loss of interphase microtubules, concomitant with the formation of perinuclear or cortical microtubule asters and sometimes a complete disappearance of microtubules. The extent of microtubule modification was related to the time of chilling, but was fully reversible after rewarming follicles at 37°C for 1 h. Chilling had only minor effects on the actin-containing elements located predominantly in the oocyte cortex and the transzonal projections. Ultrastructural analysis confirmed that oocyte-somatic cell interactions were present. There was no influence on the chromatin configuration within the follicle-enclosed oocyte. These results indicate that mouse follicles are relatively tolerant to direct chilling injury and, as a consequence, are able to withstand the cooling-warming steps during conventional cryopreservation procedures.
