Abstract
In the current study, the difference between the sex-sorted and non-sex-sorted frozen semen of Holstein Friesian breed cattle was investigated. Significant variation (p < .05) was found in the semen quality parameters such as motility; vitality; acrosome integrity rate; the anti-oxidative enzyme activity including GSH (glutathione); SOD (superoxide dismutase); CAT (catalase); GSH-Px (glutathione peroxidase) and the rate of fertilization. The results showed that the sperm acrosome integrity and motility of the non-sorted sperm were higher compared to sex-sorted sperm (p < .05). The linearity index and mean coefficient analysis revealed that the percentage of 'grade a' in sex-sorted sperm were significantly (p < .05) lower than non-sorted sperm. Interestingly, low SOD level and high CAT level was found in the non-sexed semen than in the sexed semen (p < .05). Furthermore, the GSH and GSH-Px activity in the sexed semen was found lower than the non-sexed semen (p < .05). In conclusion, sperm motility characteristics were lower in sex-sorted semen than in non-sex-sorted semen. This might be related to the complex process of sexed semen production, which could reduce sperm motility and movement characteristics, acrosomal integrity, CAT, SOD, GSH and GSH-Px, and finally lead to the decline in the fertilization rate.

FISH analysis of numerical chromosomal abnormalities in the sperm of robertsonian translocation der(13; 14)(q10;q10) carriers. Front Genet 2022; 13:1010568. [PMID: 36238152 PMCID: PMC9551382 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.1010568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis of numerical chromosomal abnormalities in the sperm of Robertsonian translocation der (13;14) (q10;q10) carriers has focused on a limited number of chromosomes mainly on chromosome 13, 18, 21, X, and Y. Here, we aimed to expand the analysis to all chromosomes by increasing the number of probes analyzed in fluorescence in situ hybridization. The incidence of numerical abnormalities of all chromosomes (1–22, X, and Y) was determined in sperm from 10 carriers of the Robertsonian translocation der(13;14)(q10;q10) and 10 normozoospermic males to fully assess the effect of translocation-derived chromosome on the segregation of all chromosomes during meiosis. Numerical abnormalities of the two translocated chromosomes were frequently detected in the sperm of der (13;14) translocation carriers, with an average frequency of 14.55% ± 6.00% for chromosome 13 and 13.27% ± 4.14% for chromosome 14. Numerical abnormalities of nontranslocated chromosomes, with an average frequency of 1.77% ± 0.62% (range, 1.16%–3.73%), was lower than that of translocated chromosome. However, the cumulative numerical abnormality of the 22 nontranslocated chromosomes was comparable to that of the two translocated chromosomes. Significantly increased numerical abnormalities in der(13;14) translocation carriers compared with those in normozoospermic males indicates the presence of translocation-derived chromosome disturbances, with translocated chromosomes being most affected; nontranslocated chromosomes were also affected, but to a lesser extent due to a mild interchromosomal effect.
