Description

Application of limonin, inositol and/or L-proline in pig semen cryopreservation
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of pig semen cryopreservation, in particular to application of limonin, inositol and/or L-proline in pig semen cryopreservation.
Background
At present, the pig semen freezing technology is still in a test stage. Because the sperm motility after the pig semen is unfrozen is poor and the conception rate of the fresh semen can not be reached, the artificial insemination is still mainly carried out on the fresh semen, and the establishment of a sperm gene bank of an excellent pig variety and the convenience of artificial insemination are greatly influenced. Therefore, improving the technology of frozen semen of pigs and improving the quality of frozen semen are one way for promoting the development of pig industry.
The Debao black pig is a good black pig variety with coarse feeding resistance, strong disease resistance and wide adaptability. Mainly distributed in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region Debao county. Because of the excellent properties of the Debao black pigs, most of the Debao black pigs are used for hybrid improvement work since 90 s of the last century, so that the number of Debao black pigs is drastically reduced, and the number of Debao boars is more endangered. Therefore, research on improving the semen freezing technology of the Debao black pigs and improving the quality of the thawed sperms plays a vital role in the development of the Debao black pigs and the preservation of germplasm resources.
The pig sperm has a special structure, the ratio of cholesterol to phospholipid in a plasma membrane is low, the content of sphingomyelin and phosphatidylethanolamine is high, the outer membrane of the content of cholesterol is larger than that of the inner membrane, the arrangement is irregular, and the characteristics lead to the Debao black pig sperm to be particularly sensitive to cold stress and have high requirements on the operation environment and technical flow. Due to the specificity of the pig sperm membrane, the pig frozen semen is not completely put into production at present.
The frozen diluent is a nutrient and a protective agent for the pig sperm during the freezing and thawing process, and determines the quality of the frozen semen of the pig. The components of the freeze diluent formulation may be divided into nutritional, cryoprotectant and other protectants according to their function. Some components have only a single function, but most components have multiple functions. The conventional freezing diluent mainly comprises glucose, EDTA, potassium chloride, sodium citrate, sodium bicarbonate, penicillin, streptomycin, egg yolk and glycerol. Wherein glucose is mainly used as a nutrient and is used as an energy substance to supplement the energy consumption of sperms, and saccharides also have the functions of impermeable cryoprotectant and maintaining the osmotic pressure of the solution. EDTA is used as chelating agent, and can combine with Ca 2+ and other harmful metal ions in diluted liquid to form stable complex, so as to raise sperm survival rate. Potassium chloride is the osmotic pressure adjustment of the diluent. Sodium bicarbonate and sodium citrate are buffers used to adjust the pH of semen. Penicillin and streptomycin are antibiotics added into the diluent, so that the killing capacity to harmful bacteria can be improved, and the preservation activity of sperms is improved. Egg yolk is a cryoprotectant. Glycerol is a cryoprotectant, and can protect sperm from damage caused by temperature change during freezing and thawing. However, the sperm viability, membrane integrity, antioxidant capacity, in vitro fertilization capacity and the like of the pig semen after thawing the conventional freezing diluent are poor, and the semen is not suitable for the development of the Debao black pigs and the preservation of germplasm resources.
The existing research shows that the oxidation level of the thawed sperm and the integrity of the membrane can be improved by adding an antioxidant and an antifreeze agent into the animal sperm freezing diluent. However, since the absorption and utilization of antioxidants and antifreeze are different from each other in each animal and the way they react with, the improvement effect of antioxidants and antifreeze on frozen semen of each animal is greatly different. Due to its own species specificity, porcine frozen semen requires more stringent antioxidants and antifreeze agents.
The myo-inositol and limonin have strong antioxidation capability. Inositol exists in large quantities in boar seminal plasma and epididymal fluid, and researches show that inositol participates in cell membrane formation and regulating maturation of sperm cells and acrosome reaction. The antioxidant capacity of limonin is 12.5-17.2 times of that of vitamin C, so that the in vitro maturation quality of the oocyte and bovine oocyte of a mouse is obviously improved, and the oxidative stress capacity is improved. L-proline is a naturally occurring amino acid with osmoprotectant and antioxidant capacity, has small molecular weight, is very soluble in water, has neutral pH and no toxicity, is often used as a cryoprotectant, and is widely applied to the fields of biological, medical and agricultural research. The addition of low-level L-proline in cryopreservation of sheep sperm, donkey sperm, human mesenchymal stem cells and human endothelial cells obviously improves the survival rate of cells after freezing and thawing, and the L-proline can play a protective role in normal-temperature preservation of the porcine semen through the antioxidant capacity of the L-proline, so that the application of the L-proline in the cryopreservation of the porcine semen to improve the sperm viability, membrane integrity, antioxidant capacity and in-vitro fertilization capacity of the thawed porcine semen is not seen at present.

2. Freezing semen, thawing, and detecting
(1) Detection of post-freezing sperm motility, morphology and kinematic parameters as shown in fig. 4, after combined use of the three, the post-freezing sperm motility was significantly higher than that of the control group and the addition group alone (P < 0.05) (fig. 4-a); the bent tail and the rolled tail have no significant difference (P < 0.05) from the control group and the independent addition group, the far-end mass drop is lower than that of the control group and the MYO addition group (P < 0.05), and the far-end mass drop has no significant difference (P > 0.05) from the L-proline addition group and the Lim addition group; proximal mass drops were significantly lower than control and Lim-added groups, with no significant difference (P > 0.05) from MYO-added and L-proline added groups (fig. 4-B); in terms of kinematic parameters, the three compatible use group ALH, DAP, VAP, DSL, WOB, LIN, VSL, STR had a significant improvement (P < 0.05) with the single addition group, and VCL, BCF did not have significant differences (P > 0.05) (fig. 4-C). The combination of the three components can improve the activity of the sperm after freezing, improve morphological parameters and kinematic parameters, and is superior to the single addition group.
(2) The results of the detection of the integrity of the plasma membrane of the sperm after freezing are shown in table 1, and the plasma membrane integrity rate, the acrosome membrane integrity rate and the nuclear DNA integrity rate of the three combined use groups are all obviously superior to those of a control group and a single addition group (P < 0.05), namely 34.40%, 76.01% and 64.46%, respectively. The three are combined to obviously improve the plasma membrane integrity, the acrosome membrane integrity and the nuclear DNA integrity rate of the sperm after thawing.

(3) As shown in FIG. 5, the mitochondrial membrane potential of the frozen sperm is remarkably improved (P < 0.05) compared with the control group and the L-proline group after the three groups are combined, and has no remarkable difference (P > 0.05) from the MYO addition group and the Lim addition group, but the mitochondrial membrane potential is higher than that of the single addition group. The combination of the three can improve the mitochondrial membrane potential and the mitochondrial function of sperms.
(6) The detection result of the antioxidant capacity of the frozen sperms is shown in figure 6, and after the three are combined, CAT content shows an ascending trend (P < 0.05) compared with a control group and a single addition group (figure 6-A); GSH-PX had increased significance (P < 0.05) compared to the control and L-proline added groups, no significant difference (P > 0.05) from the MYO added and Liim added groups (fig. 6-B); T-AOC and SOD levels were significantly elevated compared to the control group (P < 0.05), but not significantly different from the addition group alone (P > 0.05) (fig. 6-C and 6-E); MDA content tended to decrease significantly (P < 0.05) compared to the control group, with no significant difference (P > 0.05) from the addition group alone (FIG. 6-D). The combined use of the three components improves the oxidative stress capability of the thawed sperms, and the effect is better than that of a single addition group.
