Gündüz S, Evren İnanan B. Effects of captan, mancozeb and azoxystrobin fungicides on motility, oxidative stress and fatty acid profiles in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) spermatozoa. AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2024; 273:107017. [PMID: 38964174 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2024.107017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
An in vitro study using rainbow trout spermatozoa was designed to evaluate the toxic effects of different concentrations of captan (CPT), mancozeb (MCZ), and azoxystrobin (AZX) fungicides on motility parameters, lipid peroxidation, SOD activity, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and DPPH inhibition. Moreover, changes in fatty acids profiles caused by the fungicides were determined for the first time. The results revealed that motility parameters, SOD activities, TAC values, and DPPH inhibitions decreased significantly while lipid peroxidation increased after ≥2 µg/L of CPT, ≥1 µg/L of MCZ, and ≥5 µg/L of AZX incubations for 2 h at 4 °C. Additionally, 10 µg/L CPT, 5 µg/L MCZ, and 200 µg/L AZX reduced motility to the 50 % level. Our results clearly demonstrated significant changes in the fatty acids profiles of spermatozoa exposed to these concentrations of the fungicides. The highest lipid peroxidation and the lowest monounsaturated and polyunsaturated saturated fatty acids (MUFA and PUFA, respectively) were detected in AZX. Even though the susceptibility of spermatozoa to oxidative damage is generally attributed to PUFA contents, the results of this study have represented that MUFA content could play a part in this tendency. Moreover, the lower concentration of MCZ reduced motility to the % 50 level while it deteriorated the fatty acids profile less than did AZX. Overall, the present study demonstrated that the detrimental effects of the fungicides on mitochondrial respiration and related enzymes have more priority than oxidative stress in terms of their toxicities on spermatozoa. It has also been suggested that fish spermatozoa are a good model for determining changes in the fatty acid profiles by fungicides, probably, by other pesticides and environmental contaminants as well.

Abstract
Currently, the majority of sturgeons are relict fishes of high economic value yet endangered with extinction. Cryopreservation of sperm has great potential in fish farming and conservation, but the problem of low cryoresistance of sturgeon sperm has not yet been solved. The goal of this work was to review current literature data on the causes of low tolerance of sturgeon sperm to cryodamage. The influence of cryopreservation on the parameters of physiology and metabolism of sturgeon sperm (morphology and fine ultrastructure, mobility and fertilization ability, integrity of the plasma membrane, protein, lipid and metabolite profiles, antioxidant status, DNA damage), as well as on biomarkers of oxidative stress (lipids peroxidation levels and carbonyl derivatives of proteins) is discussed. Since the development of oxidative stress is an important mechanism of sperm cryodamage induction, the review presents the literature on the role of oxygen-derived species in damage of sturgeon reproductive cells caused by cryopreservation. Particular attention is paid to the system of antioxidant protection of sturgeon seminal plasma and spermatozoa, represented by antioxidant enzymes and low molecular weight antioxidants capable of utilizing various reactive forms of oxygen and nitrogen. The review discusses the results of lipidomic and proteomic studies of sturgeon sperm, which made it possible to obtain new data on the lipid composition of cell membranes, to detect proteins involved in the protection of sturgeon spermatozoa from oxidative damage during cryopreservation. This review presents the use of «omics» technology to elucidate the mechanism of cryodamage in sturgeon sperm. Additionally, the review summarizes information on the unique anatomical, morphological, biochemical, and physiological features of sturgeon sperm, which may be associated with low cryoresistance of sturgeon, in order to establish prospects for further research on improving the methods of the conservation of sperm of these threatened species.

Abstract
Fish speciation was accompanied by changes in the urogenital system anatomy. In evolutionarily modern Teleostei, male reproductive tracts are fully separated from the excretory system, while in evolutionarily ancient Chondrostei and Holostei, the excretory and reproductive tracts are not separated. Sturgeon post-testicular sperm maturation (PTSM) occurring as a result of sperm/urine mixing is phenomenologically well described, while, in holosteans, functional intimacy of seminal ducts with kidney ducts and the existence of PTSM still need to be addressed. In Lepisosteus platostomus (Holostei), sperm samples were collected from testes (TS), efferent ducts (EDS), and Wolffian ducts (WDS). While WDS was motile, no motility was found in TS and EDS. The existence of PTSM was checked by in vitro PTSM procedure. After TS and EDS incubation in seminal fluid from WDS, no more than 5% motile spermatozoa were observed in TS, whereas in EDS the motility percentage was up to 75%. Experimental dyeing of urogenital ducts in gars and sturgeons revealed some differences in the interconnection between sperm ducts and kidneys. It is concluded that post-testicular sperm maturation occurs in gars and suggests that infraclass Holostei occupies an intermediate evolutionary position between Teleostei and Chondrostei in the anatomical arrangement of the urogenital system.

Abstract
Simple Summary Sperm maturation (acquisition of the potential for motility and fertilization by morphologically developed spermatozoa) in sturgeons is atypical of ray-finned fishes: it occurs outside the testes during the transit of testicular spermatozoa through the kidneys into the Wolffian ducts. We recently developed a method in which testicular spermatozoa of sterlet Acipenser ruthenus are matured in vitro when incubated in seminal fluid derived from Wolffian duct sperm. In this study, we explored whether in vitro maturation of testicular spermatozoa depends on the environmental temperature and/or hormonal stimulation of spermiation. We studied spermatozoa motility parameters after in vitro maturation of testicular sperm, concentrations of sex steroid hormones and testis morphology in sterlet males at different stages of male preparation for spawning with and without hormonal induction of spermiation. The obtained data suggest that the ability of testicular spermatozoa to be matured was not related to the environmental temperature, while hormonal stimulation was an absolute requirement for optimal in vitro maturation. The use of in vitro matured testicular spermatozoa might have considerable potential in aquaculture or conservation programs, which can be realized in cases of accidental death of valuable broodstock or failure to obtain Wolffian duct sperm of high quality. Abstract Sturgeon sperm maturation occurs outside the testes during the transit of testicular spermatozoa (TS) through the kidneys and the Wolffian ducts. A method of in vitro TS maturation in sterlet Acipenser ruthenus was used to investigate the effects of temperature and hormonal stimulation of spermiation on the ability of TS to complete this process. Spermatozoa motility parameters after in vitro maturation of testicular sperm, concentrations of sex steroid hormones and testis morphology were studied in three groups of sterlet: (1) after overwintering in ponds (OW), (2) adapted to spawning temperature (ST), and (3) adapted to spawning temperature with hormonal induction of spermiation (ST-HI). Blood plasma concentrations of testosterone, 11-ketotestosterone and 17,20β-dihydroxy-pregnenolone increased significantly after hormonal induction of spermiation (group ST-HI). In all groups, TS were not motile. After in vitro sperm maturation, motility was up to 60% only in group ST-HI. The data suggest that the ability of TS to be matured in vitro was not related to the environmental temperature, while hormonal stimulation of spermiation during the spawning season was an absolute requirement for optimal in vitro maturation.

Abstract
The importance of reactive oxygen species and the antioxidant system in sperm biology has been recognized for different bony fishes but nothing is known in this regard for chondrichthyans. For the first time for cartilaginous fishes, the enzymatic antioxidant system was shown herein to be present in both fractions of sperm (spermatozoa and seminal fluid) collected from two different places (seminal vesicle and cloaca). In internally fertilizing freshwater ocellate river stingray, Potamotrygon motoro, the activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase was not changed upon sperm transition from the seminal vesicle to the cloaca. The activity of catalase was significantly increased for both sperm fractions at transition from the seminal vesicle to the cloaca (1.6 times for spermatozoa and 1.9 times for seminal fluid). The role of the sperm antioxidant system for different aspects of internal fertilization is discussed. The presented results are the initiatory step in uncovering the biochemical events of internal reproduction in Chondrichthyes.

Abstract
Sturgeon spermatozoa are unique for their sustained motility. We investigated the relative importance of bioenergetic pathways in the energy supply of Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii spermatozoa during motile and immotile states. Spermatozoon motility and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) were analysed following exposure to inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation (sodium azide, NaN3 ), glycolysis (2-deoxy-D-glucose, DOG) and β-oxidation of fatty acids (sodium fluoride, NaF), and to an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation (carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazine, CCCP). No significant difference in curvilinear velocity was observed after addition of these reagents to activation medium (AM) or nonactivation medium (NAM) for incubation. Incubation of spermatozoa in NAM containing CCCP or NaN3 resulted in significantly decreased motility duration compared to controls. The OCR of sturgeon spermatozoa in AM (11.9 ± 1.4 nmol O2 min-1 (109 spz)-1 ) was significantly higher than in NAM (8.2 ± 1.5 nmol O2 min-1 (109 spz)-1 ). The OCR significantly declined with addition of NaN3 to AM and NAM. No significant difference in motility parameters or OCR was observed with NaF or DOG. These results suggest active oxidative phosphorylation in both immotile and motile spermatozoa. Nevertheless, mitochondrial respiration occurring during motility is not sufficient to meet the high energy demands, and the energy required for sustained motility of Siberian sturgeon spermatozoa is derived from adenosine triphosphate accumulated during the quiescent state.

Abstract
Current rates of biodiversity loss pose an unprecedented challenge to the conservation community, particularly with amphibians and freshwater fish as the most threatened vertebrates. An increasing number of environmental challenges, including habitat loss, pathogens, and global warming, demand a global response toward the sustainable management of ecosystems and their biodiversity. Conservation Breeding Programs (CBPs) are needed for the sustainable management of amphibian species threatened with extinction. CBPs support species survival while increasing public awareness and political influence. Current CBPs only cater for 10% of the almost 500 amphibian species in need. However, the use of sperm storage to increase efficiency and reliability, along with an increased number of CBPs, offer the potential to significantly reduce species loss. The establishment and refinement of techniques over the last two decades, for the collection and storage of amphibian spermatozoa, gives confidence for their use in CBPs and other biotechnical applications. Cryopreserved spermatozoa has produced breeding pairs of frogs and salamanders and the stage is set for Lifecycle Proof of Concept Programs that use cryopreserved sperm in CBPs along with repopulation, supplementation, and translocation programs. The application of cryopreserved sperm in CBPs, is complimentary to but separate from archival gene banking and general cell and tissue storage. However, where appropriate amphibian sperm banking should be integrated into other global biobanking projects, especially those for fish, and those that include the use of cryopreserved material for genomics and other research. Research over a broader range of amphibian species, and more uniformity in experimental methodology, is needed to inform both theory and application. Genomics is revolutionising our understanding of biological processes and increasingly guiding species conservation through the identification of evolutionary significant units as the conservation focus, and through revealing the intimate relationship between evolutionary history and sperm physiology that ultimately affects the amenability of sperm to refrigerated or frozen storage. In the present review we provide a nascent phylogenetic framework for integration with other research lines to further the potential of amphibian sperm banking.

Abstract
Morphology of the urogenital system has evolved during fish speciation. Chondrostei (sturgeons and paddlefishes) possess an excretory system which is called "primitive" in that the sperm ducts enter the kidneys and share the excretory ducts where sperm is mixed with urine before it is released into the spawning environment. Further, in this group of fishes there are also physiological characteristics which are associated with these anatomical features where the mixing of sperm and urine is a prerequisite for the final sperm maturation rather than contamination. In the Holostei (gars and bowfins) which are closely related to the Chondrostei, sperm also naturally mixed with urine, but the physiological role of such mixing for sperm biology has not been described. In contrast, urinary and sperm ducts in the more evolved Teleostei are completely separate, and sperm and urine are not mixed before being released during spawning. Thus, urine constitutes an inappropriate environment which can be a source of problems when sperm is collected during fisheries practices. In this review, the consequences of such divergent conditions in the urogenital anatomy will be considered in relation to general features of fish sperm biology and in relation to aquaculture and fisheries practices.

Abstract
In sturgeon, the acquisition of the potential for motility activation called spermatozoon maturation takes place outside testes. This process can be accomplished in vitro by pre-incubation of immature testicular spermatozoa in seminal fluid collected from fully mature Wolffian duct sperm. Addition of trypsin inhibitor to the pre-incubation medium disrupts spermatozoon maturation. There are no available data for the role of proteolysis regulators in fish spermatozoon maturation, while their role is recognized in mammalian sperm maturation. The present study evaluated the involvement of seminal fluid proteases and anti-proteolytic activity in the sterlet spermatozoon maturation process. Casein and gelatin zymography and quantification of amidase and anti-proteolytic activity were conducted in sturgeon seminal fluid from Wolffian duct sperm and seminal fluid from testicular sperm, along with spermatozoon extracts from Wolffian duct spermatozoa, testicular spermatozoa, and testicular spermatozoa after in vitro maturation. We did not find significant differences in proteolytic profiles of seminal fluids from Wolffian duct sperm and ones from testicular sperm. Zymography revealed differences in spermatozoon extracts: Wolffian duct spermatozoon extracts were characterized by the presence of a broad proteolytic band ranging from 48 to 41 kDa, while testicular spermatozoon extracts did not show such activity until after in vitro maturation. The differences in amidase activity coincided with these results. It may not be the levels of proteolytic and anti-proteolytic activity per se, but the alterations in their interactions triggering a cascade of signaling events, that is crucial to the maturation process.

Total antioxidant capacity, catalase activity, and lipid peroxidation changes in seminal plasma of sex-reversed female and male rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) during spawning season. Theriogenology 2016; 86:1975-82. [PMID: 27474236 DOI: 10.1016/j.theriogenology.2016.06.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2016] [Revised: 06/12/2016] [Accepted: 06/15/2016] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
The advantages of gender-related characteristics are used in aquaculture practice to improve production. For instance, all-female stock is preferable than mixed or all-male stock in salmonid culture. The most effective way to obtain all-female populations is the using of sex-reversed (SR) female trouts, genotypically female but phenotypically male, by masculinizing androgen hormones as breeders in artificial insemination. This study was conducted to evaluate changes in the total antioxidant capacity (TAC), protein concentration, catalase (CAT) activity, lipid peroxidation level (LPO; malondialdehyde), and Fourier transform infrared spectra of seminal plasma of SR female and normal (N) male trouts during the spawning season. Seminal plasma TAC values of N male and SR female trouts were determined as 0.015 ± 0.004 and 0.116 ± 0.033 mM of Trolox equivalents, respectively, in the middle of the spawning season. Some regions related to aromatic rings in seminal plasma Fourier transform infrared spectra of SR female trouts differed from N male trouts were indicated to the higher TAC values. At the middle of the spawning season, protein concentrations were determined as 569.5 ± 139.4 mg/dL in SR female trouts and 66.3 ± 22.7 mg/dL in N male trouts. LPO levels in seminal plasma of N male trouts varied from 46.33 ± 12.05 × 10(-3) to 270.02 ± 70.64 × 10(-3) nmol/mg protein, whereas from 13.87 ± 4.98 × 10(-3) to 48.49 ± 17.31 × 10(-3) nmol/mg protein in SR female trouts throughout the spawning. CAT activities of seminal plasma in N male trouts ranged from 0.38 ± 0.26 to 0.47 ± 0.32 kU/mg protein, whereas those values in SR female trouts varied between 0.21 ± 0.10 and 0.43 ± 0.15 kU/mg protein. Moreover, there were the pairwise significant correlations among all variables except between CAT and TAC (P > 0.05). Remarkable correlations were found between LPO-protein (r = -0.922, P < 0.05, n = 190), LPO-TAC (r = -0.859, P < 0.05, n = 98), and TAC protein (r = +0.879, P < 0.05, n = 98). Similar to seminal plasma of N male trouts, TAC values, protein concentrations, and CAT activities in seminal plasma of SR female trouts have shown decline, whereas LPO levels increased toward the end of the spawning seasons. Seminal plasmas of SR female trouts were characterized by higher protein concentrations and TAC values and lower LPO levels than that from N male trouts.

Abstract
The role of the seminal fluid antioxidant system in protection against damage to spermatozoa during in vitro sperm storage is unclear. This study investigated the effect of in vitro storage of sterlet Acipenser ruthenus spermatozoa together with seminal fluid for 36 h at 4 °C on spermatozoon motility rate and curvilinear velocity, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance level, and components of enzyme and non-enzyme antioxidant system (superoxide dismutase and catalase activity and uric acid concentration) in seminal fluid. Spermatozoon motility parameters after sperm storage were significantly decreased, while the level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase, and uric acid concentration did not change. Our findings suggest that the antioxidant system of sterlet seminal fluid is effective in preventing oxidative stress during short-term sperm storage and prompt future investigations of changes in spermatozoon homeostasis and in spermatozoon plasma membrane structure which are other possible reasons of spermatozoon motility deterioration upon sperm storage.
