哺乳动物性别控制的研究进展

性别控制是一项能显著提高养殖业经济效益的生物工程技术。目前哺乳动物的性别控制的方法很多,主要是通过XY精子分离和早期胚胎性别鉴定来实现。在生产中,还经常采用其它性别控制的方法,如:受精时间控制法、阴道pH值调节法和营养调节法等。就性别决定的机理、XY精子分离以及早期胚胎性别鉴定的几种方法进行了综述,并对性别控制存在的问题及发展前景进行了讨论。     

大西洋牙鲆冷冻精子×褐牙鲆卵杂交胚胎的发育及胚后发育

利用大西洋牙鲆冷冻精子与褐牙鲆卵授精,培育出了生长健康的杂交鱼苗。并对杂交后代的胚胎发育、胚后发育和不同温度下的生长特征进行了研究。利用OLIMPUS显微镜连续观察和描述了冷冻精子受精杂交胚胎的发育,在水温15～17.1 ℃,其受精卵经过卵裂、囊胚、原肠胚、胚孔封闭、肌节胚、尾芽胚、心跳胚、出膜胚等时期的发育,经历65 h 57 min完成胚胎发育进入胚后发育,发现胚胎搐动15 min后心脏开始跳动。利用OLIMPUS解剖镜每天观察和记录一次鱼苗的生长形态,并测定其体全长;将杂交鱼苗的胚后发育划分为卵黄囊吸收期（出膜后1～6 d）、变态前期（出膜后7～25 d）、变态期（出膜后25～30 d）和变态后生长期（出膜30 d以后）4个时期。对16～17 ℃、18～19 ℃、20 ℃和22～23 ℃4个温度环境下胚胎发育的研究结果显示,杂交胚胎宜于在16～20 ℃的水温下发育,鱼苗在22～24 ℃孵化出膜后2～3 d大量死亡。对18～19 ℃、20 ℃、22 ℃、和24 ℃ 4个温度下稚鱼的生长研究结果显示,变态期稚鱼在22～24 ℃水温下饲养时变态和生长速度较18～19 ℃快。     

Single layer centrifugation of stallion spermatozoa consistently selects the most robust spermatozoa from the rest of the ejaculate in a large sample size

Reasons for performing study: An improvement in sperm quality after single layer centrifugation (SLC) has been seen in previous studies using small sample sizes (for example, n = 10 stallions). There is a need to investigate whether this improvement is repeatable over several breeding seasons with a larger number of stallions (n ≥ 30 stallions). Objective: To make a retrospective analysis of the results of SLC performed on more than 250 sperm samples (176 ejaculates) from 31 stallions in 3 consecutive breeding seasons. Methods: Sperm quality (motility, proportion of morphologically normal spermatozoa and the proportion of spermatozoa with undamaged chromatin) was assessed before and after SLC. Results: All parameters of sperm quality examined were significantly better in sperm samples after SLC than in their unselected counterparts (P<0.001 for each parameter). The yield of spermatozoa obtained after SLC was influenced by the type of extender used and also by the concentration of spermatozoa in the original ejaculate, with fewer spermatozoa being recovered when the loading dose contained a high concentration of spermatozoa. The optimal concentration was approximately 100 × 10⁶/ml. Sperm concentration in the samples loaded on to the colloid influenced the sperm yield while the type of semen extender affected sperm quality and survival. Furthermore, the scaled‐up SLC method was found to be suitable for use with a range of ejaculates, with similar sperm kinematics being observed for standard and scaled‐up preparations. Conclusions: SLC consistently improved the quality of stallion sperm samples from a large number of ejaculates. The method could be scaled‐up, allowing larger volumes of ejaculate to be processed easily from a wide range of stallions.     

Production of monoclonal antibody against recombinant bovine sex-determining region Y (SRY) and their preferential binding to Y chromosome-bearing sperm

Separation of X and Y chromosome-bearing sperm is an appropriate method for the selection of desired sex of offspring to increase the profit in livestock industries. The purpose of this study was the production of a monoclonal antibody against recombinant bovine sex-determining region Y protein for separation Y sperm. The hybridoma cells from splenocytes of immunized female's balb/C mice and Sp2/0 cells were made. The binding affinity of our monoclonal antibody (mAbSRY2) was compared with mouse monoclonal SRY-15. The Western blot method indicated that mAbSRY2 successfully detected the rbSRY protein. The specificity and sensitivity of mAbSRY2 is comparable to SRY-15 commercially ones. The SRY gene in 100% of bull semen contains the Y chromosome that had the strongest binding affinity to mAbSRY2 was synthesized. In other words, the binding affinity of semen contains the X sperms near the negative control. In general, this immunological method can help to separate X from Y sperms. However, the mAbSRY2 is bind to Y-bearing sexed sperm, but in the future; the sexed sperms need to apply in farms.     

Sperm production and quality in European eel (Anguilla anguilla) in relation to hormonal treatment

Aquaculture production relies on controlled management of gametogenesis, especially in species where assisted reproduction is needed for obtaining gametes in captivity. The present study used human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) treatments to induce and sustain spermatogenesis in European eel (Anguilla anguilla). The aim was to evaluate effects of strip-spawning timing (12 vs. 24 hr) after weekly administration of hCG and the necessity of a primer dose (in addition to weekly hormonal treatment) prior to strip spawning (primer vs. no-primer) on sperm quality parameters. Sperm parameters included milt production (weight), density and sperm kinematics at Week 9, 11 and 13 after onset of treatment. Spermiation commenced in 11.5% of males in Week 5 and by Week 9, and all males produced milt. Male weight, milt production, sperm density and spermatocrit did not differ among hormonal treatments during the experimental period. Overall, male weight decreased from 106.3 to 93.0 g, milt weight increased from 3.5 to 5.4 g, sperm density counts decreased from 11.7 × 10⁹ to 10.5 × 10⁹ cells/ml, and spermatocrit decreased from 46.5% to 40.5%. Furthermore, spermatocrit was positively related to haemocytometer counts (R² = .86, p < .001), providing a reliable indicator of sperm density. Differences in sperm kinematics were observed depending on strip-spawning timing after hormonal injection (12 vs. 24 hr) but with no consistent pattern. These sperm quality parameters also did not consistently differ between the no-primer and primer treatments. Considering that each male may be stripped 4–5 times over the 2–3 months spawning season, omitting the primer would reduce animal handling, material costs and labour intensity, while sustaining high-quality sperm production.     

离心除精浆对提高冷冻精液品质的作用

采用离心洗涤法去除精浆后,对精液进行冷冻处理。发现:1、除精浆精子冻后的活率、Ⅰ类顶体率和精子畸形率与未除精浆组存在显著差异(P<0．05);2、除精浆使稀释后精液精浆中GOT和LDH活性明显升高(P<0．05)。从平衡后到解冻后各组GOT和LDH活性都呈上升趋势。但除精浆试验组比未除精浆试验组上升缓慢;3、除精浆试验组精子的穿卵率、卵内平均精子数都显著高于未除精浆试验组(P<0．05);4除精浆离心洗涤液用生理盐水和脱脂乳-卵柠液．两者之间无显著差异(P>0．05)。
