Choosing the best embryo to transferThe Omics
GENOMICS
• genes, chromosomes, mRNA
• (invasive)
PROTEOMICS
• protein secretion
• (non invasive)
METABOLOMICS
• what is secreted or taken up
• (non-invasive)
Do any of these methods help embryo selection and improve delivery rates??

Evidence based medicineWhen and how should new technology be brought into the IVF lab, Harper et al, Human Reproduction , 2011
Assess clinical and cost effectiveness
Tested in larger multi-site clinical study
Tested in small scale single site clinical IVF study
Tested in human embryos donated to research
Hypothesis developed and tested in animal models, including small rodent (mouse) and large animal (bovine and pig)
Hypothesis-driven research, based on many years study of the basic physiology of embryo development

Non-invasive assessment of culture media• glucose, lactate, pyruvate, amino acids and factors to evaluate the physiologic and pathologic state of the embryo
• Henry Leese’s ‘quiet embryo’ hypothesis • embryo with ‘quiet’ metabolism has higher viability•‘ active’ metabolism is a stressed embryo
• Renard et al., 1980; Glucose uptake correlated to embryo
• Rieger et al., 1984; Metabolic profile correlated to embryo sex
• Gardner & Leese, 1987; Glucose consumption correlated to blastocyst development

Time- lapse imaging
Automated non-invasive
Duration of 1st cytokinesisTime between end of 1st mitosis and initiation of 2nd
Time interval between 2nd and 3rd mitosis
More complete picture of embryo than viewing only at a single point in time
Will give important information about embryo development
Will it help embryo selection and increase delivery rates?

Time lapse
• Static vs continuous visualization of embryo development
• No need to take embryo out of incubator
• But – exposure to light
• Humidity

EmbryoscopeData from IVI
• t2, 27 hours post insemination
• t3, 38 hours
• t4, 40 hours
• Key timing is t5
• Blastocysts around 97 hours
• If go straight from 1-3 cells not good
• They grade embryos A-E and exclude them as they fail key milestones

Current status with time lapse
• Only use in ICSI as need to know exact timing of fertilization
• Giving very useful embryology data
• Makes it easier for embryologists
– Especially checking for pronuclei
• But added work load to analyse movies
• Still trying to work out useful parameters
• Several randomised controlled trials going on
• Need to see if it improves delivery rates

Concluding remarksWhich is the best method for embryo selection?
• PGS?
• Analyzing culture media?
• Time lapse?
• Morphology?
• Harper, Magli, Lundin, Barratt, Brison
• When should new technology be introduced into the IVF laboratory?
