摘要:

 测定超低温冷冻保存过程能否诱导猪冻融精子产生“似凋亡”变化,探讨猪冻融精子活力降低的分子机理。利用Annexin-V/PIJC-1荧光抗体试剂盒与流式细胞术相结合的方法,检测猪精子冷冻前后及不同培养时间冻融精子质膜中磷脂酰丝氨酸(PS)位置及线粒体膜电位(Δψm)变化;蛋白免疫印迹分析方法测定猪精子Bcl-2Caspase-9Caspase-3等“凋亡”因子含量变化。猪精子超低温冷冻保存后活性精子的比例(54.4%)显著低于鲜精组(87.9%)(P<0.05),其中PS移位的精子“似凋亡”比例约为26.8%,同鲜精组(5.6%)相比增加21.2个百分点(P<0.05);降温平衡及冷冻复苏后猪精子线粒体膜电位变化显著,其中低Δψm精子比例显著增加(P<0.05);同新鲜精子(19.6%)相比,冷冻复苏后(79.4%)低Δψm精子比例提高59.8个百分点(P<0.05);冻融精子中Bcl-2Caspase-9Caspase-3等凋亡因子活性显著高于鲜精子及降温平衡后的精子(P<0.05),由此证明冻融过程能诱导猪精子进入凋亡状态。超低温冷冻保存能导致猪冻融精子质膜磷脂酰丝氨酸(PS)移位及线粒体膜电位降低,同时激发精子Bcl-2Caspase-9Caspase-3等凋亡因子活性,诱导成活冻融精子提前进入“似凋亡”状态,明显缩短冻融精子存活时间,这可能是猪冻精繁殖力降低的又一诱因。

Abstract:

 The objective of the present work was to analyze whether cryopreservation could induce the apoptosis-like alteration of frozen-thawed boar sperm, and study the molecular mechanism of the fertility reduction of frozen-thawed sperm. Annexin-V/PI combined with the JC-1 fluorescence antibody Kit with flow cytometry (FCM) was used to determine the changes of phosphatidylserine (PS) location and mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) of boar sperm before and after cryopreservation with different incubation times . Content changes of apoptosis factorsBcl-2Caspase-9 and Caspase-3in boar sperm were validated by immunoblotting analysis. The results showed that the motility of the cryopreserved sperm (54.4%) was lower than fresh sperm (87.9%) (P<0.05), in which the percentage of apoptosis-like of sperm with PS dislocation (26.8%) was 21.2% higher(P<0.05) than fresh sperm (5.6%). The cryopreservation  caused an significant increase in the percentage of low Δψm of equilibrated and cryopreserved sperm (P<0.05).Compared with fresh sperm (19.6%), the percentage of sperm with low Δψm increased 59.8% after cryopreservation (P<0.05). The activating levels of apoptotic factorsBcl-2Caspase-9 and Caspase-3in cryopreserved sperm were remarkably higher than the fresh and equilibrated sperm (P<0.05). Present evidences indicated that cryopreservation could induce spermatozoa into the apoptosis-like alteration. This study indicated that cryopreservation could not only lead to the dislocation of PS and  reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential, but also stimulate the activities of apoptotic factorsBcl-2,Caspase-9 and Caspase-3, induce the frozen-thawed sperm into apoptosis-like state in advance, and shorten the survival time of frozen-thawed spermatozoa obviously. This  might be another important reason for low pregnancy rate of frozen-thawed sperm.
