NT5C1B improves the fertility of boar spermatozoa by enhanc-ing the quality and cryotolerance during cryopreservation

ABSTRACT: Based on a systematic evaluation of post-thaw characteristics, this study categorizes boar sperm into two distinct cryo-survival phenotypes: cryo-tolerant and cryo-sensitive. The freeze-tolerant group exhibited significantly superior post-thaw quality, including better motility, plasma membrane integrity, acrosome integrity, DNA integrity, and mitochondrial activity. Furthermore, these sperm demonstrated stronger antioxidant capacity and reduced oxidative damage (lower MDA levels). Through proteomic analysis, we identified seven key proteins associated with cold tolerance (e.g., HSPA12A, PRDX4). Functional validation revealed that supplementing the freezing extender with 1 µg/ml recombinant NT5C1B protein significantly improved multiple quality parameters in freeze-sensitive sperm, confirming its role as an effective factor in enhancing cryo-survival. In contrast, ADA protein supplementation showed no significant improvement. The well-established freezing protocol developed in this study provides additional options for boar semen cryopreservation.

Sperm cryo-tolerance resulted in significant variations in post-thaw semen quality among breeds and individual boars. In the present study, semen samples from thirty-seven large white boars were cryopreserved to select individuals with strong and weak freezing tolerance according to their post-thaw sperm quality. Comparative TMT-based quantitative proteomic analysis between the two groups identified 22 significantly differentially expressed proteins. NT5C1B and ADA, the significantly downregulat ...[more]

Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae is exposed to freeze-thaw stress in commercial processes including frozen dough baking. The cell viability and fermentation activity after freeze-thaw were dramatically decreased due to freeze-thaw injury. Because freeze-thaw injury involves complex phenomena, the mechanisms of it are not fully understood. We attempted to analyze the mechanisms of freeze-thaw injury by indirect gene expression analysis during post-thaw incubation after freeze-thaw treatment using DNA microarray profiling. The results showed that a high frequency of the genes involved in the homeostasis of metal ions were up-regulated depending on the freezing period. The phenotype of the deletion mutants of the up-regulated genes extracted by indirect gene expression analysis was assessed. The deletion strains of the MAC1 and CTR1 genes involved in copper ion homeostasis exhibited freeze-thaw sensitivity, suggesting that copper ion homeostasis is required for freeze-thaw tolerance. Supplementation with copper ions during post-thaw incubation increased intracellular superoxide dismutase activity. Inverse correlated with intracellular superoxide dismutase activity, intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species were decreased. Moreover, cell viability increased by supplementation with copper ions under specific assessment conditions. This study suggested that insufficiency of copper ion homeostasis may be one of the causes of freeze-thaw injury. Total RNA was extracted from the stress-treated yeast cells by using a hot phenol method. Poly(A)+ RNA was enriched from total RNA by using an Oligotex dT30 (Super) mRNA purification kit (Takara Bio, Ohtsu, Japan). cDNA synthesis, cRNA synthesis, and labeling were performed according to the Affymetrix user’s manual (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, USA). Biotinyated cRNA was fragmented and then used as a probe.Affimetrix Yeast Genome 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix) were used as DNA microarrays. All experiments were done in triplicate independently.

Project description:In frozen dough baking technology, bakerâs yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae encounter freeze-thaw injury. After thawing, dramatically decrease in cell viability and fermentation activity is caused by freeze-thaw injury. The freezing period is critical factor in freeze-thaw injury, thus we focused and investigated time-dependent gene expression profiles in recovery process from freeze injury. First, changes in gene expression profiles in S. cerevisiae in recovery process from freeze-thaw injury were analyzed using a DNA microarray. The results showed the genes which were involved in homeostasis of metal ions were time-dependent up-regulated 2-fold or more in a series. Then we examined whether these genes were related to tolerance in freeze-thaw injury by using deletion strain. The results showed that deletion of MAC1, CTR1, and PCA1 genes which involved in copper ion transport exhibited freeze-thaw sensitivity in compared with wild type. These genes are involved in copper ion uptake to a cell under a copper deficiency condition or in copper ion homeostasis, suggesting that it may be related between freeze-thaw injury and copper ion transport. To determine the effect of supplementation of copper ion on cells after freeze-thaw treatment, cell viability, intracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were examined by various copper ion condition medium. The results showed that intracellular SOD activity was increased and intracellular levels of ROS were decreased by supplementation of copper ion, but there was no significant difference in cell viability. These results of the present study may suggest that copper ion concentration in yeast cell after freeze-thaw treatment is important to recovery from freeze-thaw injury due to redox control of intracellular levels of ROS, but copper ion did not directly affect cell viability.
