ABSTRACT
Incubation time induce damages in sperm cells by necrosis and/or apoptosis. The aim of this study was the evaluation of changes in plasma membrane related to apoptosis and necrosis in bovine sperm cells through 2 hours of incubation. Sperm cells were incubated at 5% (v/v) CO subscribed to 2 in air for 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. After each period, sperm cells were incubated with fluorescent probes Yo-pro and propidium iodide (PI) to detect change in plasma membrane related to apoptosis and necrosis respectively. Using Yo-pro/PI assay, three different subpopulations of sperm cells were detected by flow cytometry a) necrotic sperm cells (PI superscript + and Yo-pro superscript to -/+); b) apoptotic sperm cells (Yo-pro superscript to+ and PI superscript to-) and c) living cells (Yo-pro superscript to- and PI superscript to-). The percentage of live cells (plasma membrane integrity) significantly decreases over 2 hour of incubation, on the other hand, the percentage of necrotic and apoptotic cells increase during incubation. Changes in plasma membrane integrity were correlated to incubation time. While live cells were negatively correlated with the increase of incubation time, necrosis and apoptosis were positively correlated. It was also observed that necrosis was the main damage in sperm cells in all incubation times. In conclusion, incubation time induces changes in plasma membrane integrity related to necrosis and apoptosis, whether necrosis is present in higher quantity in all incubation times.
RESUMO
O tempo de incubação causa danos nas células espermáticas relacionados a necrose e/ou apoptose. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as mudanças na membrana plasmática relacionadas a apoptose e necrose em espermatozóides bovinos durante 2 horas de incubação. Os espermatozóides foram incubados a 5% (v/v) CO subscrito por 2 em ar por 0, 30, 60, 90 e 120 minutes. Depois de cada periodo, as células espermáticas foram incubadas com as sondas fluorescentes Yo-pro e iodito de propideo (PI) para detectar mudanças na membrana plasmática relacionadas a apoptose e a necrose, respectivamente. Usando Yo-pro/PI assay, três subpopulações diferentes de células espermáticas são detectadas pelo citômetro de fluxo a) células espermáticas em necrose (PI elevado a+ and Yo-pro elevado a-/+); b) células espermáticas em apoptose (Yo-pro elevado a+ and PI elevado a-) e c) células espermáticas vivas (Yo-pro- and PI elevado a-). A porcentagem de células vivas (membrana plasmática integra) significativamente diminui durante 2 horas de incubação, por outro lado, a porcentagem de espermatozóides em necrose e apoptose aumentaram durante a incubação. As mudanças na integridade da membrana plasmática foram correlacionadas com o tempo de incubação. Enquanto as células vivas foram correlacionadas negativamente com o aumento do tempo de incubação, necrose e apoptose foram correlacionadas positivamente. Também foi observado que necrose foi o principal dano causado pelo tempo de incubação nas células espermáticas. Conclui-se que o tempo de incubação causa alteração na integridade da membrana plasmática relacionadas a necrose e apoptose nas células espermáticas, sendo que necrose foi observada em maior quantidade em todos os tempos de incubação.
