The traditional assessment of stallion sperm comprises evaluation of sperm motility and membrane integrity and identification of abnormal morphology of the spermatozoa. More recently, the progressive introduction of flow cytometry is increasing the number of tests available. However, compared with other sperm structures and functions, the evaluation of mitochondria has received less attention in stallion andrology. Recent research indicates that sperm mitochondria are key structures in sperm function suffering major changes during biotechnological procedures such as cryopreservation. In this paper, mitochondrial structure and function will be reviewed in the stallion, when possible specific stallion studies will be discussed, and general findings on mammalian mitochondrial function will be argued when relevant. Especial emphasis will be put on their role as source of reactive oxygen species and in their role regulating sperm lifespan, a possible target to investigate with the aim to improve the quality of frozen–thawed stallion sperm. Later on, the impact of current sperm technologies, principally cryopreservation, on mitochondrial function will be discussed pointing out novel areas of research interest with high potential to improve current sperm technologies.  相似文献

Antibody phage display libraries are a useful tool in proteomic analyses. This study evaluated an antibody recombinant library for identification of sex-specific proteins on the sperm cell surface. The Griffin.1 library was used to produce phage antibodies capable of recognizing membrane proteins from Nelore sperm cells. After producing soluble monoclonal scFv, clones were screened on Simental sperm cells by flow cytometry and those that bound to 40–60% of cells were selected. These clones were re-analyzed using Nelore sperm cells and all clones bound to 40–60% of cells. Positive clones were submitted to a binding assay against male and female bovine leukocytes by flow cytometry and one clone preferentially bound to male cells. The results indicate that phage display antibodies are an alternative method for identification of molecules markers on sperm cells.  相似文献

Application of flow cytometric techniques to veterinary clinical hematology   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Flow cytometry has emerged as a major new technology in veterinary clinical laboratories. Flow cytometers in current use include stand-alone instruments and cytometers incorporated into hematology analyzers. Flow cytometers offer rapid and quantitative analysis of a variety of cell types based on cell size, molecular complexity, and antigenic composition. Therefore, flow cytometry complements and extends the knowledge that can be obtained by light microscopy. Stand-alone instruments are very flexible, however, this flexibility opens the instrument to obtaining invalid or misleading results. The recent development of monoclonal antibodies specific for epitopes on blood cells of food and companion animals has greatly expanded the spectrum of tests with potential clinical application. Tests that appear to have the greatest potential for routine application include reticulocyte and reticulated platelet enumeration, detection of erythrocyte-bound immunoglobulin, immunophenotyping of leukemias and lymphomas, and bone marrow differential cell counting. This report will briefly review the technical aspects of flow cytometry and then focus on techniques with present or potential application to the veterinary clinical laboratory.  相似文献

Acute megakaryoblastic leukaemia (AML‐M7) is a rare myeloproliferative disorder in domestic animals. Recently, thanks to the greater availability of immunophenotype techniques, precise diagnosis is more easily made. The morphological evaluation has its limitations, especially in the study of poorly differentiated cells. Few reports have described AML‐M7 in dogs using flow cytometry. This clinical case points out the utility of flow cytometry in the characterization of AML‐M7 in a 3‐year‐old German Shepherd dog. Flow cytometry investigation has established megakaryocytic lineage involvement by showing the presence of two megakaryocyte/platelet associated antigens (CD9 and CD61). In human medicine CD9 may be used as a platelet and megakaryocyte marker. There is an evidence of cross‐reactivity of human anti‐CD9 monoclonal antibody with canine samples. To our knowledge, the use of CD9 has never been described before, for this purpose in the dog.  相似文献

The improvement of biotechnical methods connected with fast and precise semen quality assessment and its utilization in assisted reproductive techniques is an urgent necessity in felids. The aim of this study was to evaluate some quality parameters (i.e. the viability and share of cells with intact plasma membrane) of epididymal sperm of cats using the flow cytometry method and computer‐assisted sperm analysis (CASA) examination. The material consisted of epididymal spermatozoa flushed from 22 pairs of epididymes after routine neutering procedures obtained from domestic cats aged between 8 and 36 months. The epididymes were cut and incubated with an extender without egg yolk. The samples were assessed for sperm viability (Live/Dead Sperm Viability Kit®), percentage of subtle membrane changes (Apoptosis Detection Kit®) and motility using FACScalibur flow cytometer and assisted sperm analyser htm ivos version 12.2. The flow cytometry method revealed 71.3% and 84.4% of live sperm using Live/Dead Sperm Viability Kit and Apoptosis Detection Kit respectively. The population of early‐apoptotic and late‐apoptotic sperm were 0.8% and 1.1% respectively. The CASA examination found 51.5% of motile sperm. However, the motility examination under light microscope revealed 69.5% of motile sperm. The data revealed an indistinctive per cent of apoptotic cells and 18.9% and 15.6% of dead cells using Live/Dead Sperm Viability Kit and Apoptosis Detection Kit, respectively, which indicate that the sperm obtained after flushing the epididymis possess potential properties for further assisted reproduction techniques.  相似文献

Assessing the functional capacity of sperm in vitro is of particular interest to the artificial insemination industry in order to select sires with the best fertilizing capacity. Early efforts to evaluate semen dating into the past century were based on microscopical observation of motility and abnormal morphology. Frequently, eosin stain was used to quantify live and dead sperm while giemsa stain was used for morphological evaluation. These methods along with visual inspection of the semen were useful but their repeatability was questionable. The advent of fluorescent staining improved microscopical evaluation of sperm, however, one of the major drawbacks remains, that is that one can only evaluate 100 or 200 sperm per sample. The advent of flow cytometry in the early 1970's and the development of new stains has led to more accurate means of assessing sperm viability. Fluorescein diacetate (FDA), carboxyl-fluorescein diacetate (CFDA) in combination with propidium iodide (PI) were applied to flow cytometric assessment in the early 1980's. With flow cytometry several thousands of sperm can be analyzed quickly and without detriment. Staining sperm with FDA, CFDA and PI is useful but is time dependent leading to deterioration of the sample which can alter results. Hoechst stain, 33342 and 33258 were classed as vital stains in 1979. Hoechst 33342, a highly permeable fluorescent stain became prominent for use to differentiate X from Y sperm based on binding in a stoichiometric manner to DNA. Hoechst 33258, a useful exclusion dye, will only stain sperm with lysed membranes. More recently a new membrane permeant dye, SYBR-14 has been used in combination with PI and is characterized by entering only those cells possessing a membrane potential. It shows a very high correlation with living sperm and a highly negative correlation with PI stained dead sperm. Initial studies show that the SYBR-14/PI combination is time insensitive, which allows one to evaluate semen outside of a strict time regimen. The use of CTC and FITC-PSA to ascertain the condition of the acrosome, using both the fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry has proven to be a very useful tool. Finding one single test to evaluate the fertilizing potential of sperm continues to be elusive. However, using several tests, in combination, such as motility, acrosomal integrity, and a fluorescent assessment of membrane integrity would add significant credibility to estimating sperm function.  相似文献

Canine B‐cell lymphoma is a clinically heterogenous disease; however, it is generally treated as a single disease entity. The purpose of this clinical trial was to prospectively evaluate naïve canine B‐cell lymphoma patients using histopathology, flow cytometry (FC) and a standardized chemotherapy protocol to better define subsets of this disease that may respond differently to treatment. Sixty‐four dogs with naïve multicentric B‐cell lymphoma were treated with a standardized 19‐week CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) chemotherapy protocol. Most of the dogs (84.3%) were diagnosed with diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL), followed by nodal marginal zone (7.8%), small B‐cell (4.7%), Burkitt‐like (1.6%) and follicular lymphoma (1.6%). FC confirmed the diagnosis of B‐cell lymphoma in all cases. There were no clear phenotyping differences between the subtypes of B‐cell lymphoma detectable by our FC panel. The histologic subtypes in this study exhibited a range of forward scatter values on flow cytometry, but all of the DLBCL cases were higher than a value of 469, while the only cases with a lower forward scatter value were follicular lymphoma and diffuse small B‐cell lymphoma. Dogs with DLBCL had a significantly better objective response rate to the CHOP protocol (96.3%) than the non‐DLBCL subtypes (70%, P = .024). The median progression‐free survival time for patients with DLBCL (233 days) was significantly longer than that of all other histopathologic subgroups combined (163 days, P = .0005).  相似文献

In order to increase the reproductive indices of capercaillie kept in closed breeding facilities, it is necessary to constantly expand the methods of better understanding the characteristics of sperm and their fertilizing potency. The aim of the study was to analyse selected features of capercaillie sperm using flow cytometry and their connection with fertility results. The study included five males, three of which were kept in a family group with eight females and two were kept alone. For sperm viability, acrosome integrity, mitochondrial potential and DNA defragmentation were assessed. Paternity analyses were performed in order to confirm the paternity of the individual and to link the evaluated semen traits with reproductive success. Analyses carried out in the flow cytometer showed any significant differences between males in sperm characteristics. In the semen of male No. 101, the father of all chicks from the analysed family group, 91.3% of live sperm, 91.5% with intact acrosome, 83.6% with active mitochondria and 2.0% with DNA defragmentation were observed. The average fertility rate was 71.0%, and chick hatchability was 100%. Using flow cytometry in the analysis of capercaillie semen and its connection with the results of natural mating, we were able to obtain deeper knowledge about new sperm characteristics that were not examined before and which in the future may be helpful in selecting males for the reproductive flocks and developing assisted reproduction techniques.  相似文献

A flow cytometric method has been developed for rapid determination of sperm concentration in semen from various mammalian species. * * Patent Pending, Int. Publication Number WO/00/54026.
All cells containing DNA are stained with SYBR‐14 or propidium iodide (PI) and sperm concentration is determined in relation to an internal standard of fluorescent microspheres (beads). Satisfactory staining can be achieved within 2–3 min and the following flow cytometric analysis on the FACSCount AF System rapidly provides the user with a precise and accurate assessment of the sperm concentration. In this study, the FACSCount AF System and Sperm Counting Reagent (BD Biosciences) was compared with microscopic counting using a Bürker–Türk haemocytometer. In addition, sperm concentration was determined using the Corning 254 spectrophotometer which is used routinely by Danish artificial insemination stations for boars. The results show that the agreement between flow cytometry and microscopic counting is very high. The slope for the regression line was 1.12 (SE = 0.03) with an estimated intercept with the Y‐axis of 22 × 106sperm/ml (SE = 10 × 106 sperm/ml) and an estimated error of the model of 10 × 106 sperm/ml. For the spectrophotometer, the slope of the regression line was 1.09 (SE = 0.07) with an estimated intercept of 137 × 106 sperm/ml (SE = 25 × 106 sperm/ml). The average error made by the spectrophotometer was 55 × 106 sperm/ml. In addition, the results obtained using flow cytometry was highly repeatable (CV = 2.7%) in comparison with the spectrophotometric method (CV = 6.3%). These results indicate that the FACSCount AF System is a valuable tool for precise and accurate assessment of sperm concentration in boar semen and that use of this system may lead to production of more uniform insemination doses containing a specific number of sperm per dose.  相似文献

Pregnancy rates in managed horse populations depend on the innate fertility of the mares and stallions involved and on the quality of breeding management. Of course, because a single stallion usually mates many mares, stallion fertility is a critical factor in the overall success of a breeding program. Unfortunately, accurate evaluation of stallion fertility per se requires a large number of normal mares to be mated and is necessarily retrospective. Rather, the ideal is to predict fertility in advance of the stallion's breeding career, and this is currently attempted by way of a thorough physical examination and a routine analysis of semen quality. However, while such a ‘breeding soundness examination’ identifies stallions that clearly lack the capacity for adequate fertility, it is of limited use for predicting the level of fertility and fails to identify some seriously sub‐fertile animals. Similarly, while various sperm function tests (e.g., sperm head morphometry, the hypoosmotic swelling test, glass wool‐sephadex filtration, progesterone receptor exposure) have been shown to correlate fairly well with fertility in the field, most examine only a single or a narrow range of the attributes that a sperm must possess if it is to fertilize an oocyte in vivo, and are thus more useful for identifying specific causes of sub‐fertility than for predicting the level of fertility. On the other hand, combining the results of the various sperm function tests does improve the reliability of fertility estimation and current research is therefore concentrated on identifying a range of tests that covers as many important sperm attributes as possible but that can be performed rapidly and cheaply. In this respect, flow‐cytometry has proven to be an ideal tool because it allows the objective, rapid and simultaneous analysis of a number of properties in a large number of sperm. Moreover, stains are available for an increasing range of sperm characteristics including viability, capacitation and acrosome status, mitochondrial activity and chromatin integrity. Flow‐cytometric analysis of sperm with appropriate probes thus offers considerable promise for the prediction of stallion fertility.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of Hoechst 33342 (H‐42) concentration and of the male donor on the efficiency of sex‐sorting procedure in canine spermatozoa. Semen samples from six dogs (three ejaculates/dog) were diluted to 100 × 106 sperm/ml, split into four aliquots, stained with increasing H‐42 concentrations (5, 7.5, 10 and 12.5 μl, respectively) and sorted by flow cytometry. The rates of non‐viable (FDA+), oriented (OS) and selected spermatozoa (SS), as well as the average sorting rates (SR, sorted spermatozoa/s), were used to determine the sorting efficiency. The effects of the sorting procedure on the quality of sorted spermatozoa were evaluated in terms of total motility (TM), percentage of viable spermatozoa (spermatozoa with membrane and acrosomal integrity) and percentage of spermatozoa with reacted/damaged acrosomes. X‐ and Y‐chromosome‐bearing sperm populations were identified in all of the samples stained with 7.5, 10 and 12.5 μl of H‐42, while these two populations were only identified in 77.5% of samples stained with 5 μl. The values of OS, SS and SR were influenced by the male donor (p < 0.01) but not by the H‐42 concentration used. The quality of sorted sperm samples immediately after sorting was similar to that of fresh samples, while centrifugation resulted in significant reduction (p < 0.05) in TM and in the percentage of viable spermatozoa and a significant increase (p < 0.01) in the percentage of spermatozoa with damage/reacted acrosomes. In conclusion, the sex‐sorting of canine spermatozoa by flow cytometry can be performed successfully using H‐42 concentrations between 7.5 and 12.5 μl. The efficiency of the sorting procedure varies based on the dog from which the sperm sample derives.  相似文献

目前,对于精子线粒体膜电位(MMP)的检测分析,通常采用JC-1单独染色,这种染色方法可以准确地区分高、低MMP精子,但不能明确区分精子的存活状态。本研究采用JC-1与碘化丙啶(propidium iodide,PI)2种荧光染料联合染色的方法,对6种不同保存条件下的猪精子进行染色,分别使用流式细胞仪与荧光显微镜2种检测手段对猪精子MMP进行检测。结果表明:死亡精子头部呈红色,高MMP精子尾部呈橙红色,低MMP精子尾部为绿色。2种检测手段的结果比较显示,荧光显微镜能够有效地区分出高、低MMP死精子,但对于活精子MMP的高低检测效果不甚理想。相反,流式细胞仪则能够有效地区分活精子MMP的高低,但对于死精子MMP高低的检测仍较困难。因此,对于猪精子线粒体MMP的检测,采用JC-1与PI双染的方法,用流式细胞仪与荧光显微镜进行联合检测,能比较全面的反映出精子线粒体的功能状态。  相似文献

Flow cytometry is becoming a commonly used technique to characterize a variety of cells. It provides a powerful application to rapidly determine the relative percentages of T-lymphocyte subsets and B-lymphocytes. The effectiveness of its application, however, is dependent on standardization, especially in a clinical setting. Application of flow cytometry to veterinary diagnostics has been limited by the unavailability of reagents and by the unstandardized characterization of normal values using antibodies not commercially available, but typically provided through the generosity of other researchers. This paper presents a standardized gating protocol, and average values and ranges observed for normal canine and feline blood lymphocytes using commercially available antibodies to cell surface markers for CD5, CD3, CD4, CD8, MHC II, and B lymphocytes. The averages for these markers on gated lymphocytes were as follows: Canine CD5 83.3%, Canine CD4 45.0%, Canine CD8 28.8%, Canine MHC II 98.0%, Canine B Cell 12.9%, Canine CD4/CD8 ratio 1.87, Feline T lymphocytes 77.3%, Feline CD4 44.5%, Feline CD8 25.7%, Feline B Cell 24.1%, Feline CD4/CD8 Ratio 1.75. Normal values were also established for a mixed breed group of dogs, and old versus young dogs. This information will provide researchers and clinicians with a standardized protocol for gating, which establishes a basis for comparison between techniques, and a measure of phenotypic percentages for flow cytometry in normal dogs and cats based on this standardization and commercially available antibodies.  相似文献

Liposomes are artificial membrane vesicles that can be used to test and model the functions and interactions of various biological membranes, or as a carrier system to deliver biologically active substances into the cells, or to incorporate lipids into the plasma membrane of target cells to modify membrane structure–function relationships. Sperm plasma membrane undergoes lipid modification during maturation in epididymis and during capacitation in the female reproductive tract to facilitate fertilization. Natural variation in the amounts and composition of lipids in the sperm plasma membrane may also contribute to the species‐specific sperm sensitivities to handling and storage conditions. Boar sperm are notoriously susceptible to membrane damage and are resistant to compositional alteration by artificial liposomes. This study used flow cytometry to demonstrate stable incorporation of nanoliposomes prepared from a complex mixture of various phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine : phosphatidylethanolamine : sphingomyelin : phosphatidylserine : phosphatidylinositol) with high fusion efficiency. Over 90% of sperm rapidly took up fluorescently labelled liposomes and retained the lipids for at least 60 min, in a significant time‐ and concentration‐dependent manner. This unique fusion efficacy could be used to alter sperm plasma membrane composition and hence membrane‐based functional responses.  相似文献

Flow cytometry has been shown to be an accurate and highly reproducible tool for the analysis of sperm function. The main objective of this study was to assess sperm function parameters in ejaculated alpaca sperm by flow cytometry. Semen samples were collected from six alpaca males and processed for flow cytometric analysis of sperm viability and plasma membrane integrity using SYBR‐14?PI staining; acrosomal membrane integrity using FITC‐conjugated Pisum Sativum Agglutinin?PI labelling; mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) by staining with JC‐1 and DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) by TUNEL. The results indicate that the mean value for sperm viability was 57 ± 8 %. Spermatozoa with intact acrosome membrane was 87.9 ± 5%, and viable sperm with intact acrosomal membrane was 46.8 ± 9%, high mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) was detected in 66.32 ± 9.51% of spermatozoa and mean DFI value was 0.91 ± 0.9%. The DFI was inversely correlated with high Δψm (p = 0.04; r = ?0.41) and with plasma membrane integrity (p = 0.01; r = ?0.47). To our knowledge, this is the first report of the assessment on the same sample of several parameters of sperm function in ejaculated alpaca sperm by flow cytometry.  相似文献

Flow cytometry is a useful tool that provides an accurate, objective and rapid evaluation of semen quality. The use of this technique could significantly improve the quality of buffalo semen samples used in artificial insemination. This study was carried out to evaluate, by flow cytometry, frozen–thawed buffalo spermatozoa quality parameters such as sperm viability by SYBR‐14/propidium iodide staining; mitochondrial function by JC‐1 potentiometric probe; sperm chromatin stability (SCSA) by acridine orange; and acrosome reaction (AR) by FITC‐PNA staining. Semen samples from five Italian Mediterranean buffalo bulls were used. Sperm viability was not different between bulls and ranged from 33.4% to 43.6%. A consistent rate (55.1 ± 10.8%) of sperm cells showed high mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψhigh), with no significant differences between subjects. Sperm chromatin structure assay differed significantly between the five buffalo bulls; moreover, data showed high stability within each buffalo. DNA fragmentation indexes (DFI), such as %‐DFI, ‐DFI, SD‐DFI, were 11.2 ± 8.6, 153.3 ± 24.6 and 81.6 ± 21.2, respectively. Regarding AR, the percentage of acrosome‐reacted live (ARL) and acrosome‐reacted dead (ARD) spermatozoa was 0.3 ± 0.2 and 15.3 ± 5.5, respectively. This functional parameter differed significantly between buffalo bulls and showed high stability. Following to Ca2+ ionophore A23187 for 3 h, AR significantly differed between subjects and was characterized by an increase in both ARL (10.8%) and ARD population (22.0%). This study indicates that flow cytometry could be a useful tool for a quick multiparametric evaluation of sperm quality in buffalo. In particular, SCSA and AR resulted in sperm functional parameters sensitive enough for the diagnosis of frozen‐thawed semen fertilizing potential.  相似文献

Histopathology and immunohistochemistry are mandatory to solve the differential between canine low‐grade lymphoma and reactive hyperplasia. However, clinicians and owners often show reluctance toward these invasive tests. However, molecular biology techniques are still not sensitive and specific enough to be regarded as a reliable tool for final diagnosis. In humans, flow cytometry (FC) allows a definitive diagnosis of T‐cell lymphoma based on high prevalence of antigen aberrancies. We describe here the immunophenotype of 26 cases of suspect canine small‐clear cell lymphoma, determined by multi‐colour FC. All cases showed antigen aberrancies and therefore neoplasia was always confirmed. As a consequence, we argue that the combined use of cytology and FC allows solving the differential diagnosis between small clear cell lymphoma and non‐neoplastic reactive conditions when histopathology is not available. Further studies are needed to establish if any aberrancy can be considered indicative of specific histotypes.  相似文献

Objective: Despite numerous attempts using a variety of therapeutic modalities, response rates and survival times for canine nasal squamous cell carcinoma remain poor. The goals of this study are to determine if a COX‐2 selective inhibitor induces apoptosis and alters cell cycle distribution in two in vitro models of nasal squamous cell carcinoma, and to establish a basis for future clinical trials using COX‐2 inhibitors as radiosensitizing agents. Methods: The nasal squamous cell carcinoma cell lines FAT‐7 (rat) and RPMI 2650 (human) were purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA). Cell pellets were stained for COX‐2 expression using standard immunohistochemical techniques. Following the determination of growth kinetics for each cell line, cells were plated in triplicate using 25 cm2 tissue culture flasks and incubated with different concentrations of a COX‐2 selective inhibitor (0, 1, 10, 50 and 100 μM) for 72 hours. Cells were stained with Annexin‐V and propidium iodide (Oncogene Research Products) and analyzed with flow cytometry to assess cell viability. Cell cycle distribution was determined using a propidium iodide methodology and flow cytometric analysis. Results: Preliminary results show that the addition of a COX‐2 selective inhibitor caused a dose‐dependent cytotoxicity on the FAT‐7 cells. Viability at 72 hours ranged from 95.4% for control samples to 7.46% for cells incubated at 100 μM. Changes in cell cycle distribution were also detected. Conclusions: Future study is warranted to determine if the addition of a COX‐2 selective inhibitor will increase response rates and overall survival in a population of spontaneously arising canine nasal squamous cell carcinomas.  相似文献

To date, the only repeatable method to select spermatozoa for chromosomal sex is the Beltsville sorting technology using flow cytometry. Improvement of this technology in the equine species requires increasing awareness of the modifications that the sorting procedure induces on sperm intactness. Oxidative stress is regarded as the major damaging phenomenon, and increasing evidence regards handling of spermatozoa – including sex sorting – as basic ground for oxidative damage. The aim of this study was to disclose whether the flow cytometric sorting procedure increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and to identify if ROS production relates to DNA damage in sorted spermatozoa using specific flow cytometry‐based assays. After sorting, oxidative stress increased from 26% to 33% in pre‐ and post‐incubation controls, to 46% after sex sorting (p < 0.05). Proportions of DNA fragmentation index post‐sorting were approximately 10% higher (31.3%); an effect apparently conduced via oxidative DNA damage as revealed by the oxyDNA assay. The probable origin of this increased oxidative stress owes the removal of enough seminal plasma due to the unphysiological sperm extension, alongside a deleterious effect of high pressure on mitochondria during the sorting procedure.  相似文献
