Fertility and Sterility
Analysis of apoptotic cell death, Bcl-2, and p53 protein expression in freshly fixed and cryopreserved ovarian tissue after exposure to warm ischemia Mahmoud R. Hussein, M.Sc.Path, M.D., Ph.D., Mohamed A. Bedaiwy, M.D., Tommaso Falcone, M.D. Fertility and Sterility Volume 85, Pages (April 2006) DOI: /j.fertnstert Copyright © 2006 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions

FIGURE 1 Apoptosis in healthy (A–D), and atretic (E–H) ovarian follicles and HL60 promylocytic leukemia cells (I–L, control). A, B, E, F, I, and J: hematoxylin-eosin stained; C, D, G, H, K, and L: TUNEL stained. Black arrow = TUNEL signal–positive cell; red arrow = TUNEL signal–negative cell.

FIGURE 2 Bcl-2 protein expression (cytolasmic) in the primary (A, 400×), secondary (B, 400×), graafian (C, 400×), and atretic (D, 100×) follicles.

FIGURE 3 Bcl-2 protein expression in the different types of the ovarian follicles (freshly fixed and cryopreserved). The data are presented as a function of time as a continuous variable. The letters A, B, C, and D correspond to 0, 10, 20, and 30 min, respectively. Dark blue = primordial follicles; pink = primary follicles; yellow = secondary follicles; light blue = atretic follicles.

FIGURE 4 Lack of p53 protein expression (cytoplasmic) in the primary (A), secondary (B), graafian (C), and atretic (D) follicles (400×). Hussein. p53 and Bcl-2 proteins in cryopreserved ovaries.

FIGURE 5 Apoptotic index (AI) and Bcl-2 protein expression in the healthy follicles (freshly fixed and cryopreserved ovarian tissues). The data are presented as a function of time as a continuous variable. The letters A, B, C, and D correspond to 0, 10, 20, and 30 min, respectively. Dark blue = AI in freshly fixed tissue; pink = AI in cryopreserved-thawed tissue; yellow = Bcl-2 in freshly fixed–thawed tissue; light blue = Bcl-2 in cryopreserved-thawed tissue. Hussein. p53 and Bcl-2 proteins in cryopreserved ovaries. Fertil Steril 2006.
