초록

본 실험은 PF과 FPP가 소와 사람 동결 정자에 첨가되었을 때 응해 후 정자의 체외 생존성, 운동성 그리고 intact acrosome 향상에 기여할 수 있는지의 여부를 조사하고자 실시하였다. 사람의 정액은 TYB 동결 배양액을 사용하여 초 급속 동결하였다 PF과 FPP 첨가 효과는 각각의 시약이 동결-응해된 소나 사람 정자의 현미경적 조사에 의한 운동성에 미치는 영향과 Coomassie brilliant blue 염색방법에 의한 intact acrosome의 비율에 미치는 영향으로 조사하였다. Bovine 동결 응해 정자에 PF을 첨가하여 운동성을 조사하였던 바, 5 mM 처리군 (50.0%)이 대조군 (34.0%) 보다 유의하게 높은 운동성을 보여주었다 (F<0.05). 동결 응해된 소 정자에 FPP를 농도에 따라 처리하여 intact acrosome을 조사하였던 결과, 50 nM 치리춘 (49%)이 대조군과 25 nH 처리군 (30.0, 38.0%) 보다 유의하게 많은 intact한 acrosome을 유지하였다 (P<0.01). 사람 정자에서 동결에 앞서 PF을 농도에 따라 첨가하여 동결 응해 후 운동성을 조사한 결과, 5.0 mM 처리군 (51.0%)이 대조군과 2.5 mM (39.0, 40.0%) 처리군의 운동성보다 높았다 (P<0.01). 사람 정액의 모든 동결 처리과정 (동결전, 동결, 응해후)에서 50 nM (75.5%) FPP 첨가가 intact acrosome percentage 유지하는데 유의한 효과가 있었다 (대조군: 45.0; 25 nM: 53.0; 100 nM: 68.0%) (P<0.01). PF와 FPP 첨가하여 사람 정자의 동결융해 후 운동성과 intact acrosome에 미치는 영향을 동시에 비교해본 결과, 운동성에서는 PF 처리군이 약간 높지만 intact acrosome rate는 FPP 처리군의 결과 (65.0%)가 PF 처리군 (43.0%)보다 유의하게 높았다 (P<0.05). 따라서 본 실험은 동결-융해된 소 정자에 PF이나 FPP 첨가는 정자의 운동성이나 intact acrosome 비율을 좀더 개선시킬 수 있고, 특히 사람 정자는 동결 전 과정에 FPP를 첨가하는 것이 정자의 체외 생존성, 운동성 그리고 intact acrosome을 유의하게 향상시킬 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.

This study was to examine whether the in vitro friability, motility and intact acrosome of frozen-thawed bovine and human sperm can be improved by adding Pentoxifylline (PF) or Fertilization Promoting Peptide (FPP). Human semen was frozen ultra-rapidly using Test yolk-buffer (TYB) freezing medium. Additive (PF, FPP) effects in frozen-thawed bovine and human sperm were analyzed by microscopic count for sperm motility and coomassie brilliant blue staining method f3r sperm acrosome intact. The in vitro motility of frozen-thawed bovine sperm with 5 mM PF treatment group (50.0%) was significantly higher than that of control (34.0%) (P<0.05). In the frozen-thawed bovine sperm was examined, the intact acrosome rate of 50 nM FPP treatment (49.0%) was significantly higher than those of control (30.0%) and 25 nM FPP (38.0%) treatment groups (P<0.01). In human semen, when in vitro motility of sperm with PF addition prior to freezing was examined, the result of 5 mM treatment group (51.0%) was significantly higher than those of control and 2.5 mM treatment group (39.0, 40.0%) (P<0.01). In addition, 50 nM (75.5%) FPP adding in all treatment procedures for human semen freezing (before freezing, freezing and after thawing) was significant effect on maintenance of the sperm intact acrosome percentage (control: 45.0; 25 nM: 53.0; 100 nM: 68.0%) (P<0.01). Also, the intact acrosome rate of human sperm with FPP (65.0%) was significantly higher than that with PF (43.0%) (P<0.05), although sperm motility was slightly higher in PF treatment group. These results suggest that improved sperm motility and intact acrosome of frozen thawed bovine and human sperm can be obtained by addition of PF or FPP, and that the enhanced in vitro viability, motility and intact acrosome can be obtained by addition of FPP in all semen freezing procedures.
