Proteomics and metabolomics analyses of mechanism underlying bovine sperm cryoinjury.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The cryoinjury of semen during cryopreservation reduces sperm motility, constraining the application of artificial insemination (AI) in bovine reproduction. Some fertility markers, related to sperm motility before and after freezing have been identified. However, little is known about the biological mechanism through which freezing reduces sperm motility. This study investigated the selective effects of cryoinjury on high-motility sperm (HMS) and low-motility sperm (LMS) in frozen-thawed from the perspectives of reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and ATP levels. The molecular mechanism of decreased sperm motility caused by cryoinjury was explored through a joint analysis of 4D-label free quantitative proteomics and non-targeted metabol
