Abstract
L-proline has been reported to be useful in semen cryopreservation. However, its use has rarely been reported in the freezing of boar semen. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of L-proline (0, 10, 30, 50, and 90 mM) on the quality of boar semen after freezing and thawing. Semen samples from boars (n = 6) were frozen using freezing extenders with added concentrations of L-proline. Total sperm motility, progressive motility, survival time at 37 °C, acrosome integrity, mitochondrial activity, DNA integrity, the content of the lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and, expression levels of apoptosis protein (cleaved caspase 3 and Bax) were evaluated after thawing. The results showed that total sperm viability (73.96% vs. 63.58%) and progressive motility (56.88% vs. 47.26%) after thawing were significantly higher in the 10 mM L-proline treatment group than in the control group. The survival time at 37 °C and the total motility of sperm in the 10 mM group within one hour after thawing were significantly higher than in the control group. Acrosome integrity and mitochondrial activity of sperm in the 10 mM group were significantly higher than those in the control, 50 mM, and 90 mM groups. The DNA integrity rate in the 10 mM group was significantly higher than in the control group. The L-proline treatment did not affect sperm MDA content or T-AOC. The expression levels of apoptosis protein (cleaved caspase 3 and Bax) in the 10 mM L-proline supplemented group were lower than those in the control group. In conclusion, the freezing extender containing 10 mM L-proline improved semen quality after freezing and thawing and thus would be a useful reagent for boar semen cryopreservation.

Vet World 2021; 14:2073-2084. [PMID: 34566323 PMCID: PMC8448655 DOI: 10.14202/vetworld.2021.2073-2084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2021] [Accepted: 07/01/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Aim Kacang buck sperm is cryosensitive due to the seminal plasma of semen itself. Meanwhile, bull seminal plasma contains the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) complex, which is cryoprotective. The addition of the crude protein of Simmental bull seminal plasma increased the quality of post-thawed semen of Kacang buck. The study was conducted to determine the effects of Simmental bull seminal plasma with IGF-1 on the fertility of post-thawed Kacang buck semen. Materials and Methods Buck semen was diluted in the following skim milk-egg yolk extender preparations: Without the addition of Simmental bull seminal plasma IGF-1 complex protein (T0); with the addition of 12-μg Simmental bull seminal plasma IGF-1 complex protein (T1); and with the addition of 24-μg Simmental bull seminal plasma IGF-1 complex protein (T2). The extended semen was packed in 0.25-mL straws and frozen. Post-thawed semen fertility was evaluated based on the following variables: Sperm motility, viability, intact plasma membrane (IPM), malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, capacitation status, and acrosome reaction. The difference in each variable among the groups was evaluated using analysis of variance, followed by Tukey's honestly significant difference test, at a 95% level of significance. Meanwhile, principal component analysis (PCA) was used to identify the principal component of semen fertility among the seven parameters. Results The T1 group showed the highest sperm motility, viability, IPM, and percentage of incapacitated sperm and the lowest MDA levels, percentage of capacitated sperm, and acrosome reaction. PCA revealed that sperm motility had a moderate to very robust correlation with other variables and is the most crucial parameter, accounting for 80.79% of all variables. Conclusion The IGF-1 complex in Simmental bull seminal plasma was useful for increasing the fertility of post-thawed Kacang buck semen, and sperm motility was the principal component of semen fertility.

Abstract
RESUMO Objetivou-se avaliar a condição metabólica e estrutural das células espermáticas bovinas após congelação, com adição prévia de IGF-I e insulina no meio diluidor seminal. Os ejaculados de seis touros Nelore foram submetidos a quatro tratamentos: controle; insulina (100µUI/mL); IGF-I (150ng/mL) e insulina + IGF-I (50µUI/mL e 75ng/mL, respectivamente). Após a congelação, realizaram-se os testes de termorresistência rápida, coloração pelo corante azul de tripan e Giemsa, além da análise computadorizada da motilidade espermática, da integridade das membranas plasmática e acrossomal, e da peça intermediária por meio de sondas fluorescentes. O teste de termorresistência rápida apresentou efeito dentro do tempo de cada tratamento, mas não entre os tratamentos. Na análise computadorizada da motilidade espermática, foram observados movimento, motilidade e velocidade espermáticos; não houve efeitos dos tratamentos sobre qualquer uma dessas variáveis. Respostas iguais foram obtidas com as sondas fluorescentes e o corante azul de tripan/Giemsa. A adição de insulina e IGF-I, de forma isolada ou combinada, ao meio diluidor para congelação de sêmen não produziu efeitos sobre as condições metabólica e estrutural das células espermáticas.

Abstract
The fusion of sperm and oocytes determines the fertilization competence and subsequent development of embryos, which, in turn, can be affected by various proteins and DNA methylation. However, several factors in this whole regulation process remain unknown, especially in yaks. Here, we report that fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) is an important growth factor that can enhance the maturation rate of yak oocytes and the motility of frozen spermatozoa. Subsequent blastocyst quality was also improved by increasing the total cell number and level of pregnancy-associated protein in blastocysts. These effects were significantly high in the group that received the 5 ng/ml FGF10 treatment, during both in vitro maturation (IVM) and capacitation. Our data show that the effects of FGF10 were dose-dependent at vital steps of embryogenesis in vitro. Furthermore, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blot analysis, and immunofluorescence demonstrated that the levels of CD9, CD81, DNMT1, and DNMT3B in both mature cumulus-oocyte complexes and capacitated sperms were regulated by FGF10, which was also highly expressed in the group treated with 5 ng/ml FGF10 during both IVM and capacitation. From our present study, we concluded that FGF10 promotes yak oocyte fertilization competence and subsequent blastocyst quality, and could also regulate CD9, CD81, DNMT1, and DNMT3B to optimize sperm-oocyte interactions and DNA methylation during fertilization.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding reduced glutathione (GSH) to a boar semen freezing extender supplemented with insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) or anti-IGF-I. Eight ejaculates from eight boars were extended to obtain insemination doses, which were supplemented with either recombinant human IGF-I (30 ng/mL) or anti-IGF-I (60 ng/mL) shortly after extension. After 24 h of liquid storage at 17 °C, the semen was frozen with or without GSH (5 mM) in the freezing extender for a total of six treatments. Osmotic resistance and acrosome integrity was greater in fresh semen (P < 0.05) soon after adding IGF-I or the anti-IGF-I antibody. After 24 h of cooling, the supplementation with these compounds resulted in an increased (P < 0.05) percentage of sperm with relatively greater mitochondrial activity and reduced the percentage of cells with relatively greater concentrations of superoxide. After thawing, there was a reduction (P < 0.05) in the percentage and fluorescence intensity of sperm with greater quantities of superoxide and peroxide only in samples treated with GSH + IGF-I and GSH + anti-IGF-I. The addition of GSH (alone or in combination with IGF-I or anti-IGF-I), however, reduced the percentage of sperm with an intact acrosome (P < 0.05). The same effect was not observed with IGF-I or anti-IGF-I alone. In conclusion, the addition of IGF-I or anti-IGF-I improved the quality of fresh or liquid-stored semen. Using GSH in the freezing extender improved the antioxidant potential of frozen semen only in combination with IGF-I or an anti-IGF-I antibody.

Abstract
ABSTRACT A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of chlorogenic acid (ChA) added pre-cooling and its combination with caffeine added during warming on cooled-stored boar semen parameters. Ten ejaculates were diluted in commercial extender with or without 4.5mg/ml ChA and stored at 15°C. After 0, 24 and 72 hours of storage, aliquots of these doses were taken and incubated at 37°C in the presence or absence of 8.0mM caffeine. Semen quality was evaluated after 10 and 120 minutes of incubation. The ChA increased (P <0.01) the sperm motility, viability, acrosomal integrity and the percentage of spermatozoa with high mitochondrial activity (PMHA), however, decreased (P <0.01) the malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration. Caffeine increased (P<0.05) the sperm motility, viability, PMHA and the MDA concentration and reduced (P <0.05) the acrosome integrity. When associated (ChA+caffeine), there was an increase (P <0.05) in sperm motility and viability, PMHA and acrosome integrity. The addition of ChA to the dilution medium improves the quality of the swine inseminating doses. The addition of caffeine during re-warming is only recommended when the semen is stored for prolonged periods (72h), and the inseminating dose should be used immediately after its addition.

Abstract
The aim of study was to evaluate the effects of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on canine sperm function during cooled and freeze-thaw storage. Extenders supplemented with different IGF-I concentrations (0, 100 and 200 ng/ml) were added to canine spermatozoa, and the sperm samples were stored at 4°C for 48 hr or freeze-thawed. Sperm motility, morphology, plasma-membrane integrity (PMI) and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were evaluated. IGF-I had no effect on PMI or morphology during cooling and freeze-thawing. However, IGF-I alleviated the reduction in progressive motility and MMP caused by cooled storage and led to an improvement in MMP after freeze-thawing. In conclusion, IGF-I can be helpful to maintain progressive motility of canine spermatozoa during hypothermic storage via increased MMP.
