[PMID: 35060362 DOI: 10.1111/andr.13158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2021] [Revised: 01/09/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress is one of the leading factors responsible for poor post-thaw semen quality because of overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) over neutralizing antioxidants present in semen. Mainly two ROS generation sites are present in spermatozoa, that is, mitochondria and plasma membrane. Therefore, the idea of targeting these specific sites for minimization of ROS production with the compounds having known mechanism of actions was built up as a core for this research. OBJECTIVE Present study was done to investigate the effects of Mito TEMPO and acetovanillone individually and in combination on freezability of buffalo spermatozoa. MATERIALS AND METHODS For the experiment, semen extender was supplemented with Mito TEMPO (50 μM), acetovanillone (50 μM), and a combination of Mito TEMPO + acetovanillone (50 μM+ 50 μM), designated as Group II, Group III, and Group IV, respectively. Control group without any supplementation was designated as Group I. A total of 24 ejaculates with individual progressive motility (IPM) of ≥70% were selected for the study. After final dilution, filling-sealing of straws, equilibration, and freezing were done as per the standard procedure. Semen samples were evaluated for IPM, plasma membrane integrity, lipid peroxidation, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and cholesterol to phospholipids (C/P) ratio at both fresh and post-thaw stages. Evaluation of ROS, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), capacitation status (CTC assay), and in vitro fertility potential were conducted only on frozen-thawed samples. RESULTS The addition of Mito TEMPO (50 μM) and acetovanillone (50 μM) individually and in combination significantly (p < 0.05) improved post-thaw semen quality in terms of IPM, plasma membrane integrity, TAC, cholesterol content, C/P ratio, MMP, Chlortetracycline (CTC)-Full (F) pattern, and zona binding ability of buffalo spermatozoa, while significantly (p < 0.05) reduced ROS production, lipid peroxidation, and capacitation like changes as compared to the control group. DISCUSSION As Mito TEMPO acts as an SOD mimetic and also detoxifies ferrous iron at the mitochondria level, it aids in neutralization of excessive ROS production and minimizes oxidative stress-related damages that enhances the antioxidant potential of sperm mitochondria. Earlier studies also indicated improved post-thaw semen quality in 50 μM supplemented group. The improvement observed in acetovanillone (50 μM) group might be because of inhibition of Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase as this enzyme activation by various physical/chemical inducers during cryopreservation process leads to activation of CatSper channel resulting in calcium influx, premature capacitation, and acrosomal reaction like changes through activation of adenylate cyclase and cAMP/PKA-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of sperm proteins. Acetovanillone also prevents NADPH oxidase-mediated inhibition of glutathione reductase activity, which has a vital role in protecting the structural and functional integrity of sperm plasma membrane. CONCLUSION Results indicated beneficial effects of supplementation of Mito TEMPO and acetovanillone on sperm freezability and individual supplementation was as efficient as the combination group for sustaining post-thaw semen quality.

Abstract
In the present study, there was evaluation of cryocapacitation-associated changes, apoptotic-like changes, deprotamination, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and in vitro sperm functional attributes in Barbari bucks after freezing-thawing. The correlation between deprotamination and sperm functional characteristics was established. Using immunoblotting procedures, there was detection of the presence of a single 28-kDa protein band corresponding to protamine-1. The localization in the head region of the spermatozoa was further validated by an immunofluorescence test. Capacitated (B-) and acrosome-reacted (AR-) pattern spermatozoa, spermatozoa with the externalization of phosphatidylserine and a relatively lesser mitochondrial transmembrane potential, and deprotamination and DNA fragmentation was greater (P < 0.05) after freezing-thawing and indicated there were cryocapacitation- and apoptotic-like changes, respectively. Furthermore, the detection of phosphorylation of tyrosine-containing proteins with use of immunoblotting and immunofluorescence procedures confirmed there were cryocapacitation-like changes in the buck spermatozoa after freezing-thawing. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC), in vitro thermal resistance response, Vanguard distance, progesterone sensitivity, and in vitro capacitation response were less (P < 0.05) in the spermatozoa after freezing-thawing compared with spermatozoa after initial dilution and equilibration. Deprotamination (chromomycin A3-positive cells, CMA3+) and DNA fragmentation (TUNEL+ve) were positively correlated with B- and AR-pattern spermatozoa, while other values for other variables were negatively correlated. In conclusion, the results of this study indicated there was protamine-1 in buck spermatozoa and after freezing-thawing there was a loss of protamine-1 combined with cryocapacitation-associated changes and apoptotic-like changes in buck spermatozoa. Spermatozoa deprotamination might be attributed to increased DNA fragmentation, resulting in compromised fertilizing capacity of buck spermatozoa.

Abstract
In addition to perinuclear theca anchored glutathione-s-transferase omega 2 (GSTO2), whose function is to participate in sperm nuclear decondensation during fertilization (Biol Reprod. 2019, 101:368–376), we herein provide evidence that GSTO2 is acquired on the sperm plasmalemma during epididymal maturation. This novel membrane localization was reinforced by the isolation and identification of biotin-conjugated surface proteins from ejaculated and capacitated boar and mouse spermatozoa, prompting us to hypothesize that GSTO2 has an oxidative/reductive role in regulating sperm function during capacitation. Utilizing an inhibitor specific to the active site of GSTO2 in spermatozoa, inhibition of this enzyme led to a decrease in tyrosine phosphorylation late in the capacitation process, followed by an expected decrease in acrosome exocytosis and motility. These changes were accompanied by an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and membrane lipid peroxidation and culminated in a significant decrease in the percentage of oocytes successfully penetrated by sperm during in vitro fertilization. We conclude that GSTO2 participates in the regulation of sperm function during capacitation, most likely through protection against oxidative stress on the sperm surface.

Abstract
In the present study, the effect of two particular reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) on buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) sperm capacitation and associated protein tyrosine phosphorylation was studied. Ejaculated buffalo spermatozoa were suspended in sp-TALP medium at 50 x 10(6)/mL and incubated at 38.5 degrees C for 6h with or without heparin (10(g/mL; a positive control), or xanthine (X; 0.5mM)-xanthine oxidase (XO; 0.05 U/mL)-catalase (C; 2100 U/mL) system that generates O(2)(-) or NADPH (5mM) that stimulates the endogenous O(2)(-) production or H(2)O(2) (50 microM). The specific effect of O(2)(-), H(2)O(2) and NADPH on buffalo sperm capacitation and protein tyrosine phosphorylation was assessed by the addition of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and diphenylene iodonium (DPI), respectively, to the incubation medium. Each of X+XO+C system, NADPH and H(2)O(2) induced a significantly higher percentage (P<0.05) of capacitation in buffalo spermatozoa compared to control. However, DPI inhibited this NADPH-induced capacitation and protein tyrosine phosphorylation and suggested for existence of an oxidase in buffalo spermatozoa. Using immunoblotting technique, at least seven tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins (20, 32, 38, 45, 49, 78 and 95 kDa) were detected in capacitated buffalo spermatozoa. Out of these, the tyrosine phosphorylation of p95 was induced extensively by both O(2)(-) as well as exogenous source of H(2)O(2) and using specific activators and inhibitors of signaling pathways, it was found this induction was regulated through a cAMP-dependent PKA pathway. Further, immunofluorescent localization study revealed that these ROS-induced tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins are mostly distributed in the midpiece and principal piece regions of the flagellum of capacitated spermatozoa and suggested for increased molecular activity in flagellum during capacitation. Thus, the study revealed that both O(2)(-) and H(2)O(2) promote capacitation and associated protein tyrosine phosphorylation in buffalo spermatozoa and unlike human and bovine, a different subset of sperm proteins were tyrosine-phosphorylated during heparin- and ROS-induced capacitation and regulation of these ROS-induced processes were mediated through a cAMP/PKA signaling pathway.
