为建立稳定高效的活体采卵-体外受精技术体系,提高体外胚胎生产效率,本研究先利用屠宰场采集的新鲜卵巢卵母细胞进行体外受精,通过胚胎发育潜力来筛选最佳的体外胚胎培养液;再进一步研究不同种公牛精液和供卵母牛对活体采卵-体外受精效率的影响。结果显示,CR1aa培养液和mCR1aa培养液卵裂率差异不显著（P>0.05）,但mCR1aa组的囊胚发育率显著提高（28.1% vs 20.6%,P<0.05）;选取的3头荷斯坦种公牛精液的活体采卵-体外受精胚胎的卵裂率差异不显著（P>0.05）,但1号种公牛精液体外受精后囊胚率（38.7%）显著高于2号和3号（23.8%&22.9%）（P<0.05）;随机选择的3头活体采卵供体母牛（H1、H2、H3）获得的头均可用卵母细胞数无显著差异,但H1和H2供体母牛体外受精胚胎的卵裂率和囊胚率均显著高于H3供体牛（P<0.05）,且H1供体牛体外受精囊胚率显著高于H2供体牛（P<0.05）。结果表明,mCR1aa培养液能显著提高体外受精囊胚发育率,适用于体外胚胎生产;种公牛精液和供体母牛个体差异会直接影响活体采卵-体外受精胚胎的生产效率,为奶牛活体采卵-体外受精生产技术体系的优化提供参考。 相似文献

试验旨在研究白藜芦醇对绵羊冷冻精液质量的改善效果。采用假阴道法采集6只云南半细毛羊精液，用含不同浓度（0、0.1、1、10、20 μmol/L）白藜芦醇的Optidyl稀释液稀释后进行细管分装，低温平衡和液氮气相预冻后，在液氮中保存30 d。解冻后测定精子活力、质膜完整性、磷脂酰丝氨酸（PS）分布、顶体完整性和活性氧等指标。结果表明，解冻后10 μmol/L白藜芦醇组精子总活力、直线运动百分率、精子弯尾率分别为76.14%±0.97%、43.56%±0.91%、43.24%±1.68%，均显著高于其他各组（P<0.05）；而20 μmol/L白藜芦醇组精子总活力、直线运动百分率、精子弯尾率分别为21.78%±0.79%、25.23%±1.34%、4.84%±0.68%，均显著低于其他各组（P<0.05）。10 μmol/L白藜芦醇组精子顶体完整性最高，为50.47%±0.91%，显著高于其他各处理组（P<0.05）。PS分布结果表明，10 μmol/L白藜芦醇组正常精子百分率为46.43%±2.95%，显著高于20 μmol/L组（31.14%±3.56%，P<0.05），与其他各组无显著性差异（P>0.05）。20 μmol/L白藜芦醇组PS标记率（39.82%±3.38%）显著高于其他处理组（P<0.05）。活性氧试验结果表明，10 μmol/L白藜芦醇组正常精子（63.57%±0.71%）显著高于其他各组（P<0.05）；而20 μmol/L白藜芦醇组正常精子（32.45%±1.42%）显著低于其他各组（P<0.05）。综上，在冷冻稀释液中添加白藜芦醇可以改善绵羊冷冻精液品质，这与白藜芦醇的抗氧化特性有关。但是，白藜芦醇的冷冻保护效果具有明显的浓度依赖性，其最佳作用浓度为10 μmol/L，过高浓度的白藜芦醇反而加重精子的冷冻损伤。此外，对于白藜芦醇对绵羊精子的抗冻保护效果仍然需要体外受精或人工授精验证。 相似文献

本试验旨在探索用谷氨酰胺（Gln）替代部分甘油对冻融猪精子体外获能和受精能力的影响，试验分为6组：3%甘油对照组和5个处理组（Ⅰ~Ⅴ组：2%甘油＋谷氨酰胺（0、20、40、80和100 mmol/L））。对冻融松辽黑猪精子的精子活力、质膜完整性、顶体完整性、线粒体膜电位、鱼精蛋白水平、获能及体外受精等指标进行了检测。结果显示，用谷氨酰胺替代部分甘油均对冻融精子质量有一定的改善作用，改善的程度受谷氨酰胺浓度的影响。与对照组相比，Ⅰ组精子的质量参数均显著下降（P<0.05）；与Ⅰ组相比，Ⅱ组精子活力、顶体完整性和活率显著提高（P<0.05），Ⅲ组精子线粒体膜电位显著提高（P<0.05），Ⅴ组精子活力、质膜完整性、顶体完整性、活率和线粒体膜电位均显著提高（P<0.05）。说明用谷氨酰胺替代部分甘油对精子质量具有很大的影响，且当谷氨酰胺为100 mmol/L时可得到更高质量的精子，因此，后续试验使用浓度为100 mmol/L的谷氨酰胺进行研究。与对照组相比，2%甘油＋100 mmol/L谷氨酰胺处理组精子鱼精蛋白缺失率显著下降（P<0.05），精子获能无显著差异（P>0.05），但胚胎卵裂率显著提高（P<0.05）。综上所述，谷氨酰胺可作为一种新型冷冻保护剂替代部分甘油来提高猪精液的质量，并降低甘油对猪精液的毒性作用，为猪精液的冷冻保存及商业化生产提供技术支撑。 相似文献

Motility Characteristics and Fertilizing Capacity of Boar Spermatozoa Stained with Hoechst 33342 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Flow cytometry sorting of spermatozoa using fluorescence dye Hoechst 33342 is the only effective sex selection methodology validated in numerous laboratories. This study was carried out to determine the effect of Hoechst 33342 on the motility and fertility of stained boar spermatozoa. Experiment 1 evaluated motility parameters (percentage of motile spermatozoa, velocity, angularity and oscillation) of boar spermatozoa stained with Hoechst 33342 by a computer‐aided sperm analysis (CASA) instrument. Spermatozoa (30 million/ml) were divided into five treatment groups and stained during 1 h at 35°C with 9, 18, 27, 60 and 90 μM of H33342. There were no differences in sperm motility patterns nor percentages of motile spermatozoa incubated in the presence of 9, 18 or 27 μM. Percentage of motile spermatozoa and motility parameters decreased significantly (p < 0.05) at 60 μM of Hoechst 33342. Spermatozoa were immotile at concentration of 90 μM. In experiment 2, pregnancy rates, farrowing rates and litter size from sows (n = 275) artificially inseminated (AI) with either Hoechst 33342 stained (27 μM) or unstained (control) spermatozoa were determined. Sows inseminated with stained spermatozoa had no significant lower pregnancy rate (88.33%) as compared with controls (90.32%). Staining neither affected farrowing rates (85.0 vs 87.7%) nor total number of piglets born (10.56 ± 0.32 vs 10.47 ± 0.24, stained and controls, respectively). No phenotypical abnormalities were registered among the newborn piglets. The data suggest that incubating spermatozoa with Hoechst 33342 at levels required for X‐ and Y‐bearing chromosome sperm sorting, does not impair sperm viability or their fertility after AI. 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

The Beltsville sperm sexing technology is currently the only effective means of altering the sex ratio of offspring in livestock. The method is based on the flow-cytometric separation of X- and Y-chromosome-bearing sperm based on X/Y DNA content difference. It is an effective means of producing progeny of predetermined sex in cattle, swine, sheep, and laboratory animals. The method involves treating sperm with a DNA-binding fluorochrome, Hoechst 33342, and flow-cytometrically sorting them into separate X and Y populations that can subsequently be used for surgical intratubal or intrauterine insemination, deep-uterine insemination, regular artificial insemination in some cases, in vitro fertilization to produce sexed embryos for transfer, and intracytoplasmic sperm injection of ova. Skewed sex ratios of 85 to 95% of one sex or the other have been repeatably achieved in most species. The method has been used worldwide to produce several hundred morphologically normal animal offspring of the predicted sex. It has also been validated in the laboratory using DNA reanalysis of the sorted sperm populations and by fluorescence in situ hybridization and PCR of individual sperm. We developed a new orienting nozzle that we have fitted to both conventional and high-speed cell sorters that have been modified for sperm sorting. Recently we completed the adaptation of the new orienting nozzle to a Cytomation MoFlo high-speed cell sorter modified for sperm. This adaptation of the nozzle has increased the overall production rate of sorted X and Y sperm from about .35 million/h to 5 or 6 million sperm/h (each population). Calves have been born from cows artificially inseminated using conventional technique and sexed sperm. In addition, numerous litters of pigs have been born after transfer of embryos produced from X or Y sorted sperm. 相似文献

Flow cytometry is considered the only reliable method for the separation of X and Y chromosome bearing spermatozoa in equines. The MoFlo SX DP sorter is highly efficient, allowing the production of foals of the desired sex. However, to achieve acceptable pregnancy rates the currently used protocol requires working with fresh semen obtained close to, or at, the sorting facility. An alternative protocol was tested during two consecutive breeding seasons. Fresh stallion semen was cooled for 20 h, during which staining with Hoechst 33342 took place. On the following day, this sample was flow sorted and compared with spermatozoa from the same ejaculate that had been sexed on the previous day. All sperm parameters evaluated remained unchanged when fresh sorted and refrigerated sorted semen were compared. Pre‐sorting storage at 5°C did not alter sperm velocities nor kinetics, viability or membrane permeability, production of reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial membrane potential or DNA fragmentation index of the sorted sample. The findings open for the possibility of using semen from stallions housed far from the sorting facilities. Processed and stained sperm could be shipped refrigerated on the previous day, sorted and inseminated on the next day. 相似文献

Little information is available on the quality of stallion spermatozoa after sex sorting. The objectives of the present study were to assess the quality of sex‐sorted stallion spermatozoa and determine its fertilizing ability after hysteroscopic low dose insemination. Ejaculates from four stallions were collected and sorted by a MoFlo SX® flow cytometer/sperm sorter. Before and after sorting, spermatozoa were evaluated for motility by Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis, viability (SYBR 14‐propidium iodide), mitochondrial function (JC‐1) and acrosomal status (fluorescein isothiocyanate Pisum sativum agglutinin conjugated). A fertility trial was carried out on four mares (seven oestrous cycles) by hysteroscopic insemination, depositing 5 × 106 X‐bearing spermatozoa. Sex sorting resulted in a significant decrease (p < 0.001) in all motility characteristics. Sperm viability and percentage of spermatozoa with functional mitochondria were not affected by the sorting process, while the percentage of reacted spermatozoa was higher (p < 0.01) for non‐sorted than sorted spermatozoa. Pregnancy rate was 28.6% (2/7) after low dose hysteroscopic insemination. Only one pregnancy was carried to term with the birth of a healthy filly. In conclusion, despite the reduction in sperm motility, sex sorting did not impair stallion sperm viability and mitochondrial activity immediately post‐thaw; moreover, the sexed spermatozoa retained the ability to fertilize in vivo. 相似文献

Sperm sexing is an emerging reproductive technology which has been successfully used to produce offspring of a pre‐determined sex in domestic and wildlife species but has yet to be applied to New World camelids. The aims of the present study were to (i) optimize the Hoescht 33342 (H33342) staining concentration for the flow cytometric separation of X and Y chromosome‐bearing alpaca (Vicugna pacos) sperm nuclei, (ii) separate alpaca sperm nuclei into high purity (>90%) populations bearing the X‐ and Y‐chromosome and (iii) determine the DNA difference between X‐ and Y‐bearing sperm in alpacas. Semen was collected from alpacas and sperm nuclei stained with H33342, incubated and analysed using a high‐speed cell sorter (SX‐MoFlo®). H33342 staining concentrations of 36, 54, 72 or 90 μm did not affect the proportion of correctly oriented sperm nuclei (43.3 ± 3.9, 46.4 ± 3.7, 44.5 ± 4.0 and 51.1 ± 2.5% respectively) nor the speed of sorting (1381 ± 160, 1386 ± 123, 1371 ± 133 and 1379 ± 127 sperm nuclei/s). Sort reanalysis determined high levels of purity for X‐ and Y‐enriched populations (96.6 ± 0.7% and 96.1 ± 1.1% respectively). The DNA difference, based on fluorescence intensity (determined by the SX‐MoFlo®), was 3.8 ± 0.06%. These data demonstrate for the first time that alpaca sperm nuclei can be separated into high purity populations and the potential for applying sperm sexing technology to New World camelids. 相似文献

Successful sex‐sorting of goat spermatozoa and subsequent birth of pre‐sexed kids have yet to be reported. As such, a series of experiments were conducted to develop protocols for sperm‐sorting (using a modified flow cytometer, MoFlo SX®) and cryopreservation of goat spermatozoa. Saanen goat spermatozoa (n = 2 males) were (i) collected into Salamon's or Tris catch media post‐sorting and (ii) frozen in Tris–citrate–glucose media supplemented with 5, 10 or 20% egg yolk in (iii) 0.25 ml pellets on dry ice or 0.25 ml straws in a controlled‐rate freezer. Post‐sort and post‐thaw sperm quality were assessed by motility (CASA), viability and acrosome integrity (PI/FITC‐PNA). Sex‐sorted goat spermatozoa frozen in pellets displayed significantly higher post‐thaw motility and viability than spermatozoa frozen in straws. Catch media and differing egg yolk concentration had no effect on the sperm parameters tested. The in vitro and in vivo fertility of sex‐sorted goat spermatozoa produced with this optimum protocol were then tested by means of a heterologous ova binding assay and intrauterine artificial insemination of Saanen goat does, respectively. Sex‐sorted goat spermatozoa bound to sheep ova zona pellucidae in similar numbers (p > 0.05) to non‐sorted goat spermatozoa, non‐sorted ram spermatozoa and sex‐sorted ram spermatozoa. Following intrauterine artificial insemination with sex‐sorted spermatozoa, 38% (5/13) of does kidded with 83% (3/5) of kids being of the expected sex. Does inseminated with non‐sorted spermatozoa achieved a 50% (3/6) kidding rate and a sex ratio of 3 : 1 (F : M). This study demonstrates for the first time that goat spermatozoa can be sex‐sorted by flow cytometry, successfully frozen and used to produce pre‐sexed kids. 相似文献

However, the industrial application of this technology in other domestic species is largely limited by the lower fertility after insemination. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of antioxidant supplementation during the sex‐sorting and freezing process on the quality and functions of sorted sperm from Liaoning Cashmere goats. We tested the effects of antioxidant supplementation during sex‐sorting and freezing process, including ascorbic acid‐2‐glucoside AA‐2G, glutathione, melatonin and vitamin C (VC), on the quality and functions of sex‐sorted fresh and frozen‐thawed sperm. Based on these experiments, we performed deep insemination with sex‐sorted sperm using our improved strategy, in comparison to unsorted sperm. In Experiment 1, compared with control group and other antioxidants, AA‐2G supplementation significantly alleviated the degradation of motility and viability of fresh sperm after sorting and showed the highest percentage of sperm with normal morphology. In addition, AA‐2G supplementation showed an evident protection against the sorting process‐induced membrane and acrosome damage. In Experiment 2, AA‐2G supplementation was most effective in protecting motility, while melatonin supplementation appears to facilitate the degradation of quality of frozen‐thawed sex‐sorted sperm. In Experiment 3, we performed deep insemination with sperm that were sorted and frozen in the presence of AA‐2G and obtained a satisfying pregnancy rate comparable to that from unsorted sperm. The results showed that AA‐2G supplementation efficiently protects quality and function of both fresh and frozen‐thawed sex‐sorted sperm of Cashmere goats, thus obtaining a satisfying pregnancy outcome. 相似文献
