β-nerve growth factor (βNGF) plays a crucial role in reproductive physiology and sperm quality. Enzymatic activity of seminal plasma and vaginal fluids reduces available βNGF and it has been demonstrated that chitosan microspheres could protect rrβNGF from degradation. This study examined the effects of microencapsulated rrbNGF with chitosan on rabbit sperm viability, motility and capacitation status. Results showed that 0.5 and 1 μg/mL of microencapsulated rrβNGF, as well as free rrβNGF or empty microspheres, did not adversely affect sperm viability or total motility after 2 h of incubation. However, the highest progressivity kinetic parameters were observed with 1 μg/mL free rrβNGF, while the highest curvilinear velocity (VCL) occurred with 0.5 μg/mL microencapsulated rrβNGF. Empty chitosan microspheres did not induce acrosome reaction (AR), but both concentrations of free and rrβNGFch favoured AR during in vitro incubation. The study suggests that using chitosan spheres did not show any adverse effects on sperm traits, unlike free rβNGF and rrβNGFch promoted capacitation and AR. Further research is needed to explore the potential of rrβNGFch in modifying in vitro capacitation and inducing ovulation during artificial insemination. 相似文献

The use of foetal bovine serum (FBS) in cell culture media is quite common. However, little is known about the effect of FBS on sperm. The severe difficulties in alpaca reproduction demand the search of new methods for in vitro reproductive management. In the present study, we use for the first time FBS as a supplement in the culture medium for sperm in alpaca, and the effect of FBS on motility, acrosome reaction and sperm binding to the zona pellucida in this species was evaluated. A concentration of 10% v/v FBS was used. The sperm motility with FBS at the first hour was 32.8% (vs. control = 30.0%), whereas at the second hour sperm motility with FBS was 30.2% (vs. control = 28.8%). The acrosome reaction reached an average of 44.0% for treatment with FBS (vs. control = 30.1%). The sperm‐zona pellucida binding assay showed that the samples incubated with FBS had an average of 2.7 bound sperm (vs. control = 1.7). Only a significant difference was observed for sperm motility at the first hour and for the acrosome reaction. It is concluded that FBS favours the capacitation of sperm in alpaca. 相似文献

Sperm competition is a powerful selective force that has influenced many reproductive traits in males and females although additional evolutionary explanations may help to understand the diversity of mammalian reproduction. Sperm morphology varies considerably in mammals with extreme examples in several rodent lineages in which a wide range of sizes and complex head morphologies have been identified. Mammalian spermatozoa also differ in function, with swimming velocity and trajectory showing much divergence. Underlying processes mediating function have received little attention so far, but differences in timing and proportion of sperm undergoing capacitation or acrosomal exocytosis may be related to variation in signalling processes. Furthermore, energy required for sperm functions (such as motion, signalling and overall maintenance of cell integrity) can be produced and consumed, following different patterns among species and this could be the result of several selective forces. A more thorough understanding of the diversity in structure and function of sperm cells, and underlying selective forces, may help us develop better methods to assess them taking into account particulars and generalities of sperm form and performance. Such tests could then become more reliable in estimations of the impact of cryopreservation or effect of changes in the environment and their relevance for fertility. 相似文献

This study investigated the relationship between acrosome reactions and fatty acid composition with respect to fertility in boar sperm. The acrosome reaction was induced more than 85% by 60 mM methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MBCD), and plasma membrane integrity was significantly reduced dependent on the MBCD level in boar sperm (p < .05). The acrosome-reacted sperm exhibited significantly higher saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and lower polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) composition compared to the non-acrosome reaction group (p < .0001). In addition, the PUFAs, C22:5n-6 (docosapentaenoic acid [DPA]; p < .01) and C22:6n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid [DHA]; p < .0001) were significantly decreased, and cleavage and blastocyst formation of oocytes were significantly (p < .0001) decreased in acrosome-reacted sperm relative to non-acrosome-reacted sperm. Moreover, acrosome reaction was positively correlated with SFAs, whereas negatively correlated with PUFAs, of the PUFAs, the DPA (p = .0005) and DHA (p = <.0001) were negatively correlated with the acrosome reaction. Therefore, these results suggest that the PUFAs composition of sperm is closely involved in acrosome reaction in pigs. 相似文献

Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread environmental pollutant. Because of its long biological half-life (10–30 years in humans), Cd accumulates in the biological systems such as gonads. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of Cd in the concentration range 50–750 μmol/L, in vitro, on the membrane integrity, motility and acrosomal status of bull spermatozoa. The samples were processed for sperm analyses using semen-diluting fluid (phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2). A significant elevation in the malondialdehyde level/lipid peroxidation (LPO) rate and a decrease in the spermatocrit values, particularly at a concentration of 750 μmol/L Cd, indicated the deleterious effect of Cd on sperm membrane integrity. There was also a negative correlation between LPO rate and percentage of motile spermatozoa (r = 0.992).The gelatin test indicates that Cd may alter the integrity of acrosomal membranes and shows an abnormal acrosome reaction. In this regard, a strong negative correlation was found between LPO rate and % halos (bright clear zone around sperm heads after gelatin digestion) (r = 0.990). Taking the results together, Cd proved to be a potential toxicant in the category of environmental factors that induce membrane impairment, lower motility, and decrease the rate of acrosome reactions, leading to male infertility. Apparently, the presence of Cd in the environment and seminal plasma exerts a toxic effect on sperm cells. Arabi, M. and Mohammadpour, A.A., 2006. Adverse effects of cadmium on bull spermatozoa.

The aim of this study was to determine if the achievement of the “in vitro” capacitation (IVC) status and subsequent progesterone‐induced “in vitro” acrosome exocytosis (IVAE) was accompanied with overall changes in threonine phosphorylation (pThre) of boar spermatozoa. For this purpose, mono‐ and bi‐dimensional Western blot analyses as well as immunocytochemistry studies against pThre were performed in boar sperm subjected to IVC and subsequent IVAE. Mono‐dimensional Western blot in non‐capacitated samples showed that launching of IVC did induce an overall increase in signal intensity in all observed bands that was followed by a subsequent decrease afterwards. Bi‐dimensional Western blot analysis showed the presence of four main signal protein clusters. The attainment of IVC induced an overall decrease in the number and intensity of spots of Clusters A, B and C and a concomitant increase in the intensity of spots of Cluster D. The IVAE launching caused a rapid increase in the intensity of spots of Clusters B, C and D, which was followed by a subsequent decrease of the intensity together with a concomitant pI displacement of Cluster C. Finally, immunocytochemistry showed that the pThre signal of non‐capacitated cells was located at the whole sperm. The IVC did not induce prominent changes in this location. In contrast, the induction of IVAE caused the appearance of an additional an intense acrosome and tail pThre signal that subsequently decreased. In conclusion, our results indicate that IVC and further IVAE induced specific changes in the intensity and appearance of pThre protein phosphorylation which were linked to changes of specific protein characteristics as pI. These results support, thus, the existence of a specific role of pThre in IVC/IVAE of boar sperm. 相似文献

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of relaxin on motility, acrosome reaction (AR), viability and utilization of glucose in fresh and frozen‐thawed bovine spermatozoa. Both semen samples were washed twice through centrifugation (5 min at 600 g), and preincubated for 1 h at 39°C for swim up. The swim‐up separated spermatozoa were resuspended in a sperm Tyrode's albumin lactate pyruvate (Sp‐TALP) medium containing 0 (control) and 40 ng/mL porcine relaxin and incubated for 0–6 h. Sperm motility was determined on the basis of movement quality examined by a phase contrast microscope. Sperm viability and AR were evaluated by using the triple staining technique. The incorporation and oxidation of 14C‐glucose was assessed by a liquid scintillation counter. Motility was improved (P < 0.05) in both fresh and frozen‐thawed spermatozoa by the addition of relaxin to the Sp‐TALP medium, whereas relaxin showed no significant effect on viability in either fresh or frozen‐thawed spermatozoa. The percentage of AR increased (P < 0.05) when fresh or frozen‐thawed spermatozoa were incubated with relaxin. In contrast, the incorporation and oxidation of 14C‐glucose increased (P < 0.05) in both kinds of spermatozoa incubated with relaxin. Thus the results demonstrated that the addition of relaxin to the Sp‐TALP medium increased the motility, AR and utilization of glucose in fresh and frozen‐thawed bovine spermatozoa. 相似文献

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of RU486 (mifepristone) on sperm penetration through the cumulus cells layer during fertilization in mice. After 20 μg/mL RU486 was added into the capacitation or the sperm/cumulus penetration medium, respectively, the experiments were conducted to evaluate the ratio of sperm acrosome reaction and ability of sperm/cumulus penetration. The results showed that the addition of RU486 significantly suppressed 5 μg/mL P4-induced acrosome reaction in the capacitated sperm (P <0.01), and decreased sperm penetrating through the cumulus matrix and reaching the oocyte zona pellucid (ZP) and also remarkably reduced the percentage of acrosome-reacted sperm within the oocyte-cumulus complex (OCC)(P <0.01). Compared with the addition of RU486 alone, P4 did not reverse the inhibitory effects of RU486 on the acrosome reaction of sperm within the OCC, though it still improved sperm penetration through the cumulus matrix and reaching the ZP (P <0.01). Therefore, RU486 could inhibit P4-induced acrosome reaction and decrease sperm penetration through the cumulus matrix, which suggested that P4/progesteron receptor (PGR) pathway might be very important for sperm penetration through the cumulus cell layer. 相似文献

本研究旨在探讨米非司酮（mifepristone,RU486）对小鼠精子穿透卵丘细胞层的影响。分别添加20 μg/mL RU486到精子获能液或穿卵培养液,检测小鼠精子顶体反应发生比率和穿透卵丘细胞层能力。结果显示,添加RU486能够极显著抑制孕酮（P4,5 μg/mL）诱导的精子顶体反应（P ＜0.01）;并极显著减少穿透卵丘细胞层到达卵子透明带的精子数量及在卵子-卵丘细胞复合体（OCC）中精子发生顶体反应的比率（P＜0.01）;同时添加P4和RU486情况下,相比单独添加RU486,虽然P4能够极显著地促进精子穿透卵丘细胞层到达透明带,但对OCC中的精子顶体反应没有明显作用。综上表明,RU486能够抑制P4诱导的顶体反应并影响小鼠精子穿透卵丘细胞层过程,揭示P4/孕酮受体（PGR）通路在小鼠精子穿卵过程中具有重要作用。 相似文献
