In mammals, folliculogenesis begins in the fetal stage and is a complex and dynamic process involving quiescence, activation, growth, and follicular migration based on interactions with granulosa cells. In fetuses of the last third in alpacas, a population of preantral follicles is estimated at 80,000, which represents the ovarian reserve that will be used throughout reproductive life. The intraovarian mechanisms that activate a small number of primordial follicles is a progressive and highly regulated process. Since the alpaca is a native species of economic importance in Peru, studies that allow maximizing the conservation of germplasm are important for science. Therefore, the objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of the addition of Kit Ligand (KL) (100 ng/mL) and/or bpV (HOpic) (10 μM) on the in vitro activation and survival of alpaca preantral follicles. Ovarian cortical fragments from 11 adult alpacas were cultured for 24 h in tissue culture medium (α-MEM+; Minimum Essential Medium) supplemented with bpV and KL or the combination of both. In each treatment two fragments were fixed in paraformaldehyde (4% in PBS) before and after culture at 4°C for classical histology. The tissue was dehydrated in alcohol, cleared with xylene and embedded in paraffin, and serially sectioned at 7 μm with a rotary microtome (Leica). Histological sections were mounted and stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Preantral follicles were classified according to their stage of primordial, primary, and secondary development. Our results show a reduction of primordial (reserve) follicles by more than 50% in follicular tissue cultured in vitro in α-MEM+ or supplemented with bpV and/or KL versus the control (uncultured). Likewise, a >25% increase in primary follicles in follicular tissue cultured in vitro in α-MEM+ or supplemented with bpV and/or KL versus control. However, the follicular survival rate showed a decrease of 20% in the cultured tissues, except for the α-MEM+ treatment supplemented with an association of bpV and KL. In conclusion, the joint supplementation of bpV (10 μM) and KL (100 ng/mL) promoted the activation of primordial follicles and maintained survival after in vitro culture of alpaca ovarian tissue.
