Abstract
AIM The aim of this study is the evaluation effect of nanoliposome-loaded Mito-Tempo on sperm parameters during human sperm cryopreservation. METHODS Semen samples of 50 Asthenoteratozoospermia men (random) were collected. Sperm parameters were analyzed based on World Health Organization (WHO, 2010) criteria (2021) and each sample was divided into 5 groups (E1-E5). E1 (control group): the sperm was cryopreserved without nanoliposome, and Mito-Tempo. E2: sperm cryopreservation with Mito-Tempo-loaded nanoliposome (Mito-Tempo 0.1 mM) + freezing medium. E3: sperm cryopreservation with Mito-Tempo-loaded nanoliposome (Mito-Tempo 0.2 mM) + freezing medium. E4: in this group, the cryopreservation sperm with Mito-Tempo 0.3 mM + freezing medium. E5: the cryopreservation sperm with Mito-Tempo 0.2 mM + freezing medium. RESULTS The result of this study indicated that sperm parameters and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) significantly increase in E3 and E4 groups, compared to E1, E2, and E5 groups respectively (P < 0.05). The percentage of abnormal morphology, DNA fragmentation index (DFI), malondialdehyde (MDA), and the levels of ROS significantly decrease in E3 and E4 groups, compared to E1, E2, and E5 groups (P < 0.05). In addition, the sperm parameters and stress oxidative factors significantly improve in E3 group compared to other groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, the combination of Mito-Tempo with nanoliposome due to its ability to cooperate with lipid layers may lead to significant performance in reducing oxidative stress damage and increasing the quality of sperm parameters.

Abstract
Intracellular calcium homeostasis plays a crucial role in spermatozoa by regulating physiological functions associated with sperm quality and male fertility potential. Intracellular calcium fine balance in the sperm cytoplasm is strictly dependent on sperm surface channels including the CatSper channel. CatSpers' role is to ensure the influx of extracellular calcium, while intracellular pH alkalinization serves as a stimulus for the activation of several channels, including CatSper. Overall, the generation of intracellular calcium spikes through CatSper is essential for fertilization-related processes, such as sperm hyperactivation, acrosome reaction, egg chemotaxis, and zona pellucida penetration. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that disruption in the close interaction among ions, pH, and CatSper could impair male fertility potential. In contemporary times, the growing reliance on Medically Assisted Reproduction procedures underscores the impact of cryopreservation on gametes. In fact, a large body of literature raises concerns about the cryo-damages provoked by the freeze-thawing processes, that can affect the plasma membrane integrity, thus the structure of pivotal ion channels, and the fine regulation of both intracellular calcium and pH. This review aims to provide an overview of the importance of the CatSper channel in sperm quality and further fertilization potential. Additionally, it addresses the emerging issue of cryopreservation's impact on the functionality of this sperm channel.

Abstract
Nitroxides are stable free radicals that have antioxidant properties. They react with many types of radicals, including alkyl and peroxyl radicals. They act as mimics of superoxide dismutase and stimulate the catalase activity of hemoproteins. In some situations, they may exhibit pro-oxidant activity, mainly due to the formation of oxoammonium cations as products of their oxidation. In this review, the cellular effects of nitroxides and their effects in animal experiments and clinical trials are discussed, including the beneficial effects in various pathological situations involving oxidative stress, protective effects against UV and ionizing radiation, and prolongation of the life span of cancer-prone mice. Nitroxides were used as active components of various types of nanoparticles. The application of these nanoparticles in cellular and animal experiments is also discussed.

Abstract
To preserve male fertility after diagnosis of any kind of cancer, a prompt assessment of the semen quality and an appropriate semen cryopreservation must be performed before radio-chemotherapy starts. The present work aims to evaluate the semen parameters at diagnosis of different cancer patients before cryopreservation and after thawing. Testicular tumors and lymphomas are among the most common cancers in younger patients, and while chemotherapy significantly increases patients' survival, it can epigenetically alter the semen fluid, resulting in temporary or permanent infertility. We analyzed data from the database of the Gamete Cryopreservation Center (Annunziata Hospital, CS; Italy) in the period of 2011-2020 from a cohort of 254 cancer patients aged 18-56 years. The evaluation was performed in a blind manner and anonymously recovered; the main parameters referring to semen quality were assessed in accordance with the WHO guidelines and decision limits (6th edition; 2021). The cancer types were as follows: testis cancers (TC; n = 135; 53.1%), hematological cancers (HC; n = 76; 29.9%), and other types of cancer (OC; n = 43; 17%). Comparing TC vs. HC (P1) and vs. OC (P2), TC had the worst semen quality: sperm number/mL (P1 = 0.0014; P2 = 0.004), total motility (P1 = 0.02; P2 = 0.07), progressive motility (P1 = 0.04; P2 = 0.05), viability (P1 = 0.01; P2 = 0.02), and percentage of atypical morphology (P1 = 0.05; P2 = 0.03). After semen thawing, viability and progressive motility recovery lowered, accounting for 46.82% and 16.75%, respectively, in the whole cohort; similarly, in the subgroups ascribed to TC, they showed the lowest recovery. Strong correlation existed between pre- and post-cryopreservation viability and progressive motility in the whole cohort (p < 0.001) and in the TC subgroup (p < 0.05). All cancer subgroups, to significantly different extents, had semen findings below the WHO reference values, suggesting diverse sperm susceptibilities to different cancers and cryodamage. Cancer and associated treatments epigenetically affect patients' semen quality, meaning cryopreservation should be considered a useful personalized prerogative for any kind of cancer in a timely manner.

Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:2973. [PMID: 37760374 PMCID: PMC10525674 DOI: 10.3390/ani13182973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 09/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Thymoquinone nanoparticles (TQNPs) are broadly utilized in numerous pharmaceutical applications. In the present study, we tested the effects of TQNP supplementation on sperm quality and kinematics, acrosome exocytosis, oxidative biomarkers, apoptosis-like and morphological changes of frozen-thawed buffalo sperm, as well as the fertilizing capacity. Semen was collected from buffalo bulls, diluted (1:10; semen/extender), and divided into five aliquots comprising various concentrations of TQNP 0 (CON), 12.5 (TQNP12.5), 25 (TQNP25), 37.5 (TQNP37.5), and 50 (TQNP50) µg/mL, and then cryopreserved and stored in liquid nitrogen (-196 °C). The results revealed that TQNPs (25 to 50 µg/mL) provided the most optimal results in terms of membrane integrity (p < 0.001) and progressive motility (p < 0.01). In contrast, TQNP50 resulted in a greater post-thawed sperm viability (p = 0.02) compared with other groups. The addition of TQNPs to the extender had no discernible effects on sperm morphology measures. Sperm kinematic motion was significantly improved in the TQNP50 group compared to the control group (p < 0.01). TQNPs effectively reduced the content of H2O2 and MDA levels and improved the total antioxidant capacity of post-thawed extended semen (p < 0.01). The addition of TQNP significantly increased the number of intact acrosomes (p < 0.0001) and decreased the number of exocytosed acrosomes (p < 0.0001). A significant reduction in apoptosis-like changes was observed in TQNP groups. The non-return rates of buffalo cows inseminated with TQNP50-treated spermatozoa were higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05; 88% vs. 72%). These findings suggested that the freezing extender supplemented with TQNPs could effectively enhance the cryotolerance and fertility of buffalo sperm.

Front Vet Sci 2023; 10:1170347. [PMID: 37609058 PMCID: PMC10440435 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2023.1170347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction In tomcats, epididymal spermatozoa provide an additional source of male gametes available for cryopreservation. While this procedure is feasible, the survival rate and motility of epididymal cat spermatozoa are both low after thawing. Cryopreservation is known to induce oxidative stress in spermatozoa, with mitochondria and the plasma membrane being the two major generation sites, and an imbalanced presence of free radicals is a possible cause for this low survival rate. Different antioxidants have been tested before for their effect on cryopreserved cat spermatozoa quality, with varying results. Here, we used Mito-Tempo, which is a synthetic mitochondria-targeted antioxidant and a specific scavenger of the mitochondrial superoxide system. By supplementing Mito-Tempo with the freezing extender, we aimed to improve the sperm quality of frozen-thawed cat epididymal spermatozoa. Methods Epididymal spermatozoa obtained from twelve tomcats were assessed for motility and concentration. Prior to freezing, samples were diluted in TRIS buffered extender with egg yolk and glycerol and divided into five aliquots supplemented with 0 (control), 0.5, 5, 50, and 1005M of Mito-Tempo. After thawing, sperm motility, concentration, morphology, plasma membrane integrity, acrosome integrity, and mitochondrial membrane potential were evaluated. A Friedman rank sum test with a Bonferroni post-hoc test was used to determine statistical in-between group differences in post-thaw semen parameters. Results and discussion The results indicated a slight improvement in acrosome integrity across all groups that were supplemented with Mito-Tempo, with the group that received 55M of Mito-Tempo showing the greatest improvement [(median of 67.99%, IQR of 5.55) compared to the control group (median of 65.33%, IQR of 7.75; P = 0.05)]. For all other sperm parameters, no significant differences (P > 0.05) were detected between different Mito-Tempo concentrations. These findings highlight the protective effect of Mito-Tempo on acrosome integrity and suggest that 55M is the most effective concentration for maintaining acrosome integrity. Since Mito-Tempo has shown a positive effect on multiple sperm parameters in other species, such as men, boars, roosters, rams, and bulls, we need to conclude that species-specificity may play a role here.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of mitochondria-targeted antioxidant Mito-TEMPO on the protein profile of ram sperm during cryopreservation and evaluate the cryoprotective roles of Mito-TEMPO on ram sperm quality and fertilization capacity. Semen collected from 8 Dorper rams was cryopreserved in TCG-egg yolk extender supplemented with various concentrations of Mito-TEMPO (0, 20, 40 and 60 μM). After thawing, sperm characteristics, antioxidant status and the abundance of hexose transporters (GLUT 3 and 8) were analyzed. The cervical artificial insemination (AI) was performed to evaluate the fertilization ability of cryopreserved ram sperm. The alterations of sperm proteomic profile between the control and MT40 groups were determined using iTRAQ-coupled LC-MS. Supplementation with 40 μM of Mito-TEMPO resulted in the highest post-thaw sperm motility and kinematics. Sperm quality, antioxidant capacity and glucose transporter abundance of frozen-thawed ram sperm were elevated in the MT40 group. The inclusion of 40 μM Mito-TEMPO in freezing extender also resulted in the higher pregnancy rate of ewes. A total of 457 proteins including 179 upregulated proteins and 278 downregulated proteins were defied as differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) using fold change (FC) > 1.2 with P < 0.05. Sixty-one DEPs with (FC > 1.5) were dramatically regulated by Mito-TEMPO. These DEPs are mainly involved in sperm motility, energy metabolism and capacitation. Our data suggest that the beneficial effects of Mito-TEMPO on sperm motility and fertility potential of cryopreserved ram semen are achieved by regulating sperm antioxidant capacity and sperm proteins related to energy metabolism and fertility.

Abstract
Buffalo spermatozoa are vulnerable to cryo-injuries due to inherent deficiency of endogenous antioxidants, high polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) content in plasma membrane and low cholesterol/phospholipid (C/P) ratio. Humanin is a potent cytoprotective agent that protects the cells against oxidative stress and apoptosis. The present study was designed to establish the presence of Humanin in buffalo and effect of Humanin supplementation on freezability of buffalo spermatozoa. Indirect immunofluorescence test revealed presence of Humanin in ejaculated and epididymal spermatozoa, and, elongated spermatids and interstitial space in the testicular tissue section. Humanin levels in seminal plasma were significantly and positively correlated with sperm concentration and individual progressive motility (IPM) in good (n = 22; IPM >70%) and poor (n = 10; IPM <50%) quality ejaculates. For supplementation studies, a total of 24 ejaculates (IPM ≥70%) were collected and each ejaculate was then divided into four aliquots. First aliquot was diluted with egg yolk-tris-glycerol (EYTG) extender without Humanin and served as control group (Group I). Rest three aliquots were diluted with extender containing 2 (Group II), 5 (Group III) and 10 μM Humanin (Group IV), respectively. Semen was cryopreserved using standard protocol and evaluated at pre-freeze for lipid peroxidation (LPO) and post-thaw stages for spermatozoa kinematics, LPO, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), capacitation, apoptotic status and DNA integrity. The treatment group that showed best results (5 μM) was compared with control group for in vitro fertility assessment by homologous zona binding assay. The LPO levels were lower (p < 0.05) in 5 and 10 μM Humanin supplemented group. The MMP and DNA integrity were higher (p < 0.05) in 5 μM group than other groups. F-pattern was higher (p < 0.05) and B-pattern was lower (p < 0.05) in 5 and 10 μM Humanin supplemented groups. Lower apoptotic and higher viable spermatozoa (p < 0.05) were observed in 5 μM Humanin group. The mean number of spermatozoa bound to zona pellucida was higher (p < 0.05) in 5 μM Humanin treated group than the control group. The study established the presence of Humanin in buffalo spermatozoa and seminal plasma for very first time and concluded that Humanin supplementation at 5 μM concentration improves the freezability and in vitro fertility of buffalo spermatozoa.
