Description

Epsilon-polylysine microsphere carrier and application thereof in cryopreservation of a small amount of sperms
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of assisted reproduction, and particularly relates to an epsilon-polylysine microsphere carrier and application thereof in cryopreservation of a small amount of sperms.
Background
The testis of a patient with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) cannot produce or only produces a very small amount of sperms, so that it is difficult to obtain enough sperms by using a general sperm extraction technology, and clinical treatment is quite difficult, which is an important cause of male infertility and affects about 0.6% of males or 10.0% of infertile males. In recent years, along with the deep understanding and research on NOA, sperm extraction technologies such as testicular fine needle aspiration, testicular incision sperm extraction, microscopic testicular incision sperm extraction and the like have been developed, and the technology is combined with an intracytoplasmic sperm injection technology (ICSI), so that an originally sterile NOA patient can obtain own biological offspring. Clinically, the pregnancy rate for ICSI treatment cycles is 50.0%, and patients may need to repeat ICSI treatment several times in order to obtain a fraction of pregnancy. Clinically, testicle semen collection is an invasive operation, and each semen collection can damage the testicles, possibly causing testicle atrophy or function reduction, even completely losing the semen generation function. Therefore, the small amount of movable sperms (a few or more than ten) obtained by diagnostic puncture of the azoospermia patient or remained in the ICSI treatment period need to be frozen and stored, so that the sperms can be revived for ICSI treatment when the female takes eggs, and the flexibility and the reliability of the auxiliary fertility treatment of the non-obstructive azoospermia patient are greatly improved. Therefore, the cryopreservation of the trace sperms is a key technology for improving the success rate of pregnancy.
The cryopreservation of a small amount of sperms is a difficult problem in the field of assisted reproduction, and no ideal cryopreservation method is clinically used at present. The cryopreservation method of a small amount of sperms under study comprises a zona pellucida method, a slice method, a micromanipulation needle method, a micro-tube method and the like, and the methods all have the problems of difficult material source, ethics, pollution, complex operation and the like, and cannot be popularized and applied on a large scale clinically. The zona pellucida method is a better method for preserving a small amount of sperms in a freezing way, and the zona pellucida is a layer of glycoprotein wrapped outside oocytes and plays an important role in oogenesis, oosperm protection and polyspermia prevention. The content in the transparent band is removed by using a micromanipulation technology, the transparent band can be used as a cryopreservation carrier, and a small amount of sperms are injected into the empty transparent band, so that a good cryopreservation effect can be obtained. Although the recovery rate and activity of the sperm preserved by the zona pellucida method are both above 70.0 percent, the method has some problems that firstly the zona pellucida of mammal or human ova is used, the material source is difficult (the zona pellucida of the human ova is difficult to obtain), secondly the ethical dispute (the host DNA is in danger of being injected into the human ova together with the sperm during the ICSI treatment) exists, and in addition, the risk of the infection of the virus of the human and the livestock exists, so the method is difficult to be widely applied in the assisted reproduction clinic.

Sperm cryopreservation experimental study
1. Sperm cryopreservation
Sucking 1 drop of sperm culture solution, placing the sperm culture solution into a culture dish to form a drop (about 0.5 mu l), then adding 10.0ml of mineral oil to cover the drop, sucking a hollow microsphere carrier, placing the hollow microsphere carrier into the drop of the sperm culture solution, grabbing 1 movable sperm by using a micro-injection needle, placing the sperm into 1 cryopreservation carrier, sucking the cryopreservation carrier by using a suction tube, placing the cryopreservation carrier into a cryopreservation tube added with the sperm cryopreservation solution, precooling and cooling by liquid nitrogen steam with the height of 4.0cm above the liquid nitrogen surface for 3min (the cooling speed is 20 ℃/min), and then putting the cryopreservation tube into liquid nitrogen for rapid freezing and preserving.
2. Cryopreservation sperm resuscitation
The cryopreservation tube was taken out of the liquid nitrogen tank, thawed quickly at 37 ℃, and the cryopreservation solution containing the microsphere carrier was taken out of the cryopreservation tube with a pipette and added quickly to a petri dish (5.0 ml of sperm culture solution containing 37 ℃). The sperm is microscopically sought in the cryopreservation carrier and is grasped from the cryopreservation carrier by a micro-needle micromanipulator and transferred to another dish containing sperm medium.
3. Experiment grouping
The experiment was divided into a blank group, an example 1 group, a comparative example 2 group, an example 2 group, a comparative example 3 group, a comparative example 4 group, an example 3 group, a comparative example 5 group, a comparative example 6 group, an example 4 group, a comparative example 7 group, and a comparative example 8 group. 100 cryopreservation vehicles were selected per group, each loaded with 1 sperm.
4. Detection method
(1) Frozen carrier integrity test
Observing the shape of the carrier after cryopreservation by a microscope, wherein the shape of the carrier is not changed and is complete, the deformation or the rupture of the carrier is form rupture, and the integrity rate (%) of the carrier is (the number of the complete carriers before cryopreservation-the number of the complete carriers after cryopreservation)/the number of the complete carriers before cryopreservation.
(2) Sperm recovery assay
The number of sperm before cryopreservation and after cryopreservation was counted under a microscope, and the sperm recovery (%) was (number of sperm before cryopreservation-number of sperm after cryopreservation)/number of sperm before cryopreservation.
(3) Sperm motility assay
Observing the sperm motility under a microscope, counting the number of the sperms before and after cryopreservation, and obtaining the sperm motility rate (%) after cryopreservation (the total number of the recovered sperms after cryopreservation-the number of the recovered sperm after cryopreservation)/the total number of the recovered sperms after cryopreservation.
5. Results of the experiment
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0003432127430000111
From the experimental results shown in table 1, the carrier strength and the particle diameter are related to the film thickness, the smaller the particle diameter is, the larger the film thickness is, the higher the carrier strength is, the higher the carrier integrity rate after cryopreservation is, the sperm recovery rate is positively related to the carrier integrity rate, the higher the carrier integrity rate is, the higher the sperm recovery rate is, the sperm activity rate is not related to the carrier integrity rate and the sperm recovery rate, and the sperm activity rate of each experimental group is about 80%. From the view of the preparation conditions of the carrier, the particle size of the carrier is positively correlated with the concentration and viscosity of the sodium alginate solution, the lower the concentration and viscosity, the smaller the particle size, but the concentration and viscosity cannot be too low, and the gel beads cannot be formed by too low viscosity, so the gel beads should be prepared by adopting the proper concentration and viscosity of the sodium alginate; the thickness of the carrier film is positively correlated with the dosage of epsilon-polylysine, and the more the dosage of epsilon-polylysine is, the larger the film thickness is, the higher the carrier strength is. The carrier strength is also related to the G/M ratio of sodium alginate, the larger the G/M ratio, the higher the carrier strength and the higher the integrity of the carrier after freezing storage, and the analysis reasons are mainly that epsilon-polylysine can only carry out complexation reaction with carboxyl in guluronic acid in sodium alginate molecules to form a polyelectrolyte membrane and does not react with carboxyl in mannuronic acid molecules, the higher the content of guluronic acid in sodium alginate molecules is, the more carboxyl can participate in the reaction, the higher the strength of the formed polyelectrolyte complexation membrane is, and the higher the integrity of the carrier after freezing storage is. In conclusion, the carrier has higher carrier integrity rate, sperm recovery rate and sperm mobility when used for freezing and storing a small amount of sperms.
The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the invention, rather than all possible embodiments of the invention. Any obvious modifications to the above would be obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art, but would not bring the invention so modified beyond the spirit and scope of the present invention.
