PURPOSE: To study whether the cumulus cell antioxidant system varies accordingly to patients clinical characteristics' as age, infertility diagnosis, BMI, and stimulation protocol applied and if the antioxidant profile of cumulus cells could be used as a predictor of embryo development.
METHODS: A prospective study including 383 human cumulus samples provided by 191 female patients undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection during in vitro fertilization treatments from a local in vitro fertilization center and processed in university laboratories. Catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzyme activity levels and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels were measured in cumulus oophorus cells individually collected from each aspirated cumulus-oocyte complex, and the results of each sample were compared considering the oocytes outcome after ICSI and patients clinical characteristics. A total of 223 other human cumulus samples from previous studies were submitted to a gene expression meta-analysis.
RESULTS: The antioxidant system changes dramatically depending on patients' age, infertility diagnosis, stimulation protocol applied, and oocyte quality. SOD activity in cumulus cells revealed to be predictive of top-quality blastocysts for young patients with male factor infertility (P < 0.05), while GST levels were shown to be extremely influenced by infertility cause (P < 0.0001) and stimulation protocol applied (P < 0.05), but nonetheless, it can be used as a complementary tool for top-quality blastocyst prediction in patients submitted to intracytoplasmic sperm injection technique (ICSI) by male factor infertility (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Through a simple and non-invasive analysis, the evaluation of redox enzymes in cumulus cells could be used to predict embryo development, in a personalized matter in specific patient groups, indicating top-quality oocytes and improving success rates in in vitro fertilization treatments.
TRIAL REGISTRATION: The trial was registered at UFRGS Research Ethics Committee and Plataforma Brasil under approval number 68081017.2.0000.5347 in June 6, 2019.
