Introduction

Artificialinsemination(AI)isamomentoustoolin pigindustrytoimprovethegeneticgenewithfrozen semen(Castellanoet al.,2010).Comparedwithother animalspecies,boarspermisfragiletocoldshockfor differentphospholipids,suchasunsaturatedfattyacids (UFAs),compositioninspermmembranes(Fraczek et al.,2001;Zhanget al.,2012;Silvaet al.,2015). Frozenboarsemenhasbeenperformedsince1975,but thecommercialdiluenthasnostablebreakthroughfor thesusceptibilityofboarspermatozoa(Zhanget al., 2012).Asthebarrieroflowfecundityratescausedby AIusingfreeze-thawsemen,extensiveworkhasbeen doneonpreservationofboarsemenwithdiluentat normaltemperature(15-20℃)(Althouseet al.,1998; ZouandYang,2000;Vytet al.,2007;Perez-Llano et al.,2009).Ithasbeenconsideredthattheliquid boarsemenwouldmaintainhigherspermfertility comparedwithfrozensemen(ClarkeandJohnson, 1987).Therefore,storageofboarsemeninnormaltemperaturewasincreasinglyexploitedinAI.

However,therearestillmanydeficienciesinnormal temperaturestorage.Duringthestorageprocessof boarsemen,boarspermissubjectedtodecrease motilityandviability.Inthemeantime,thesperm membranepermeabilitywouldbealteredpartly byoxidativedamagethatcausedbyinappropriate formationofreactiveoxygenspecies(ROS)(Wang et al.,1997;GuthrieandWelch,2010).Thesystems ofprotectiveanti-oxidantinspermatozoa,stem fromthecytoplasm,areconsistedofglutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px),catalase(CAT)andsuperoxide dismutase(SOD)(Bilodeauet al.,2001).Ithasbeen authenticatedthatthissystemswhichareessentialto maintainspermmotilityandviabilitydefendagainst thelipidperoxidation(Huet al.,2009).

Keepingpacewiththedevelopmentofthe preservationboarsemenfrom15℃to17℃,many researchersareinterestedinthediluentbreakthrough. ThediluentwillfacilitatetobalancepH,maintain spermmembranesintegrity,inhibitspermcapacitation anddefendtheoxidativedamage(Watson,1990; Weitze,1991;Huet al.,2009).Theeffectsofdiluent onthespermqualityparameters,duringthestorage processwerewelldocumented(Estienneet al., 2007;KusterandAlthouse,1999;Vytet al.,2004; Waterhouseet al.,2004;Martín-Hidalgoet al., 2013).Asthediluentneedtobeadaptedtoindividual differencesamonganimals(Gadea,2003;Levis, 2000),Martín-Hidalgoet al.(2013)studiedtheeffects ofdifferentdiluentsonspermmotilityandviability, reactiveoxygenspecieswerethoughttobethe importantreasonthatproducedanddamagedsperm cellmotilityandgenomicintegrity(Clarkson,1988; Storey,1997;Aitkenet al.,1998;Bilodeauet al., 2000;Footeet al.,2002),andtheresultsrequired abetterunderstandingthatdifferentdiluentshad differenteffectsonsemenfromdifferentboarbreeds.

Toinvestigatetheeffectsofdifferentdiluentson thespermmotilityandthelevelsofenzymesfrom differentboarbreedsstoredat17℃,andassessedthe relationshipbetweenspermmotilityandtherelative levelsofenzymes,threedifferentdiluentsandthree boarbreedsemens(Yorkshire,LandraceandDuroc) wereutilizedinthepresentstudy.Thespermmotility, ROSrelatedenzymelevelsofcatalase(CAT),thetotal anti-oxidativecapacity(T-AOC)andmalondialdehyde (MDA)duringthestorageweremeasured,the correlationbetweenspermmotilityandeachenzyme levelwasalsoanalyzed.

Materials and Methods

Thecareandproceduresofboarthatusedtocollect semenwereapprovedbytheAnimalCareand UseCommitteeofFujianAgricultureandForestry University.

Semen collection and diluent prepare

Thesexuallymatureboars(1.5-2years)ofYorkshire (n=5),Landrace(n=5)andDuroc(n=5)fromShanjia Co.,Ltd.wereemployedinthisstudyfromSeptember of2012toSeptemberof2013.Total150-200mL semenwascollectedfromeachboarineachtimeby glovedhandtechniqueandfilteredthroughfourlayers ofsterilecottongauze.Subsequently,thesemenwas transferredintoasteriletube.Thevolume,sperm concentrationandpercentmotilespermatozoawere assessedinsperm-richfractions.Whensemenhad morethan80%ofspermmotilityandnormalsperm morphologywouldbeused.Toeliminatevariability betweentheevaluated,theejaculateswerepooledfor eachbreedboarinthepresentstudy,respectively.All theexperimentswererepeatedthreetimes.

Diluentswerepurchasedfromthreecommercial companiesandthecompositionswerenotclearforthe protectionofintellectualproperty.Theyweredesigned asthegroupsofDiluentⅠ,DiluentⅡandDiluentⅢanddissolvedinthedouble-distilledwaterwiththe samevolume.

Semen processing

Afterthesemenqualitytomeettherequirements, thecollectedboarsemenwasequallydividedintothreeparts.Subsequently,theratioofsemendiluted byDiluentⅠ,DiluentⅡandDiluentⅢwas2:1.The temperatureofdiluentsweresamewithboarsemen. Thedilutedsemenwasgentlymixed,andallthetubes werewrappedby10layersofsterilegauze.They wereslowlycooledto17℃.Finally,theywerestored inthe17℃thermostat.Weshooksemenonceevery 12handdetectedtheparametersevery24huntil spermmotilitydecreasedto50%.

Assessment of sperm motility, effectively survival time and survival index

Spermmotilityreferstotheabilityorintensityof spermactivity.Phasecontrastmicroscopywasrecommended for motility evaluation. Five μL semen sampleswereplacedonglassandvisuallyexamined thepercentageoflinearmotilespermbylight microscopeat400×.Thepercentageofspermmotility washigherthan50%,whichwasconsideredasthe effectivelysurvivaltime.Thesurvivalindexofsperm wascalculatedasthefollowingequation:I=(MA+MB)× 2/D(Iindicatedthesurvivalindex,MAandMBdemonstratedthespermmotilityinAdayandBday,respectively,andDwasconsideredastheintervaltime betweenAdayandBday.

Discussion

Thecommercialdiluentswereproducedtomaintain andprotectthefertilityofspermatozoaduringstorage process(Watson,1990).Dilutedpowderthatcould increasethevolumeofsementomakereasonable andeffectiveuseofsemencouldprovidespermwith metabolicnutrientsneededforthesurvivaltoextend thespermsurvivaltimeandimprovethefertilization abilityofsperm.Diluentcommonlycontainsnutrients, bufferingagent,antioxidants,enzymes,essentialmetalionsandantibacterialsubstancesandsoon.Diluent composition,eachcompositionconcentrationand theratioamongthecompositionshadveryimportant influencesonsemenpreservationeffect.Forexample, thecombinationofamides(3%)andglycerol(2%) wasmoreefficientatcryo-protectionthanglycerol aloneforsemenfreezingfromboarsofthePiaubreed (Pinhoet al.,2014).Someresearchershadaddeda certainamountofenergysubstancesindilutesolution suchasglucose,fructose,lactose,sucrose,etc.They couldimprovespermmotilityandextendthesperm tostoragetime.Glucosewasacommondiluent nutrients,whichcouldprovidetherequiredenergy forthesurvivalofspermandadjustsemenosmotic pressure.Bovineserumalbumin(BSA)couldstabilize thestructureofspermcellsandneutralizesperm metabolitestoprolongthesurvivaltime,maintaining spermmotilityandreducespermagglutination.K+couldmaintainthetransportofNa+-K+pumpthat couldproduceATPtomaintainthesurvivaland movementofspermonspermmembrane.Inaddition, bothVAandVBthatwereaddedinthediluentcould protectthespermfromdifferentfunction.

Itwaswelldocumentedthattheeffectofstorage timeonsemenqualityvariedamongboars(Waberski et al.,1994;Kommisrudet al.,2002;Waterhouse et al.,2004).Thisvariationhadalsobeenobservedby Martín-Hidalgoet al.(2013)whoreportedthatsemen toleranceduringpreservationwasmoreinfluenced bythediluentsinIberianthaninDurocbreed.Inthe presentstudy,thediluentsandbreedshadnoeffects andinteractioneffectsonsurvivalindex,butthere weresignificantinteractioneffectsbetweendiluents andbreedsonspermmotilityandsurvivaltime.The preservationeffectofYorkshireboarsementhat wasdilutedwithdiluentⅢwhichspermmotility in5daysremainedat0.54andsurvivaltimewas higherthanthatwithdiluentⅡ,wasthebest.The effectofLandraceboarsementhatwasdilutedwith diluentⅡthatspermmotilityandsurvivaltime werehigherthanthosewithdiluentⅢafter3days (P＜0.05)wasthebest.Buttheeffectsofthreediluents onDurocboarsemenwerenotsignificantlydifferent. Comparingwithotherbreeds,thisresultindicatedthat thesemenofDurocwaslessersensitivetodiluents andfurtherstudyareneeded.Cometothetrialresults, ontheonehand,maybeduetodifferentproportions ofspermandseminalplasmaindifferentbreedsemen thatcouldleadtodifferencesaftersemendilution. Studiesfoundthatsemenvolumehadsignificant differencethatLandrace,YorkshireandDurocreduced inturnbetweendifferentbreeds.Sincethespermof smallvolume,thedifferencesbetweensemenvolume mainlyreflectedonthecontentoftheseminalplasma. Theelectrolytecompositioninseminalplasmacould promotespermprematureaging.Atthesametime, theseminalplasmacontainsvariousionsthatcould maintainspermsurvival.Inaddition,theseminal plasmahadantioxidants,proteinandotherbeneficial ingredientsthatcouldmaintainmembranestabilityand fertility.Forexample,themeanpercentageofsperm motilityofHampshireboarswassignificantlylowerin washedthaninunwashedseminalplasmairrespective ofholdingduringpreservation(Chutiaet al.,2014). Extendingcryopreservedboarspermin50%seminal plasmawouldsignificantlyimprovespermmotility andviability,withthepossibleneteffectofpositively impactingsowfertilityandextendingthesperm's lifespan(Garciaet al.,2010).Ontheotherhand,these threediluentswereimportedproducts,anddidn't indicatethespecificcomponentsofthediluents. Thisresearchwasbasedontheinstructiontodiluteandpreserveboarsemen;eachdiluentmightcontain thesamecomponents,suchasglucose,EDTA, sodiumcitrate,etc.,buttheconcentrationofeach componentmightbedifferent.Atthesametime, eachdilutionmightalsoaddothersubstances,such asBAS,antibiotics,etc.,toprotectthespermbytheir ownresearches.Sotheresultsofthistestmightbe causedbyonereasonalone,mightalsobecausedby combinationoftworeasons.Thereasonneedstobe carefullyanalyzedinfuturestudies.

Undernormalphysiologicalconditions,ROSproducedbyrespiratorymetabolismofspermwasalways inadynamicequilibriumwhichproducedconstantly andclearedbyantioxidantenzymesatthesametime in the body (Strzeżek et al.,2012).However,after ejaculation,spermthatwereinevitablyexposedtoair, contactthelargeamountsofoxygenanddestroythe redoxsystemsproducedalargenumberofROSand wereaffectedseverely;then,sucheffectscouldplaya majorroleonspermmembrane(Vascoet al.,2007). CATthatcouldinduceH2O2todecomposeintowater andmolecularoxygencouldcleanH2O2in vivoand avoidthatthatcellswerepoisonedbyH2O2(Huet al.,2009).ThelowerCATcontent,thelowercellular antioxidantcapacity.T-AOClevelcouldreflectthe organismdefenseoxidativedamageabilitystrong orweak.WhenT-AOCcontentwasstronger,thecontentofbiologicalantioxidantsinthebodywashigher andtheabilitytoresisttheoxidativedamageis stronger.Duringthesemenextending,T-AOClevel andantioxidantcapacityofboarsemendecreased (Brezezinska-Slevbodzinskaet al.,1995).Thelevelof MDAthatwastheendproductoflipidperoxidation metabolismrepresentedthedegreeofspermoxidative damage.ThehigherMDAcontent,thedeeperthe degreeofspermlipidperoxidation(Kumaresanet al., 2009).Inthepresentstudy,duringtheprocessof preservation,CATandT-AOClevelsofspermatozoa decreasedsignificantlywhileMDAlevelincreased significantly.Inearlystageofthepreservationprocess, thespermhadstrongantioxidantcapacityandthe lowlevelofoxidativedamage.Withtheextensionof storagetime,unsaturatedfattyacidsoccurredlipid peroxidationinthespermthatdamagedorinhibited theactivityofantioxidantenzymesanddestroyed thespermprotein,whichcausedspermstructure damage,brokeoriginalequilibriumstateandproduced moreoftheperoxide,whichledtotheexacerbation ofthedegreeofoxidativedamageofspermfurther, thedeclineofthetotalantioxidantcapacityandthe increaseofMDAlevelsgradually.

Inthepresentstudy,thereweredifferenteffects ofdifferentdiluentsonthelevelsofCAT,T-AOC andMDAinYorkshireandLandraceboarsemen. ButInDurocboarsemen,therewerenosignificant effectsofdiluentonCAT,T-AOCandMDAlevels. Thetrialresults,ontheonehand,mightbeduetothe differencesamongdifferentvarietiesofpigsperm,on theotherhand,mightbebecausethesethreediluents haddifferencesinantioxidantsandtheirproportion.

Reactiveoxygenspeciesweregenerallyconsidered tobecytotoxicagentsduetotheirabilitytoinduce lipidperoxidationwithinthespermplasmamembrane andmodifyDNAstructures(Sanockaet al.,2005).It waswellestablishedthatROScoulddamagesperm plasmamembraneandhencereducespermmotility (Guthrie&Welch,2005;Chanapiwatet al.,2009). AsthearisingofROSformedthroughtheunivalent reductionofoxygen,whichledtotheimpairmentof spermmotility,functionalmembraneintegrityand fertilitythroughoxidativestressandtheproduction ofcytotoxicaldehydes(AlvarezandStorey,1989).In thisstudy,thefactthatbothCATandT-AOClevels werepositivecorrelatedwithspermmotilityinall threeboarbreedswhileMDAlevelwassignificant negativecorrelatedwiththespermmotilityindicated thatduringtheprolongingpreservationofsperm,the decreaseofspermactivitypartlycausedbythedecline ofantioxidantcapacity.

Conclusions

Inconclusion,thediluentshouldadapttoeach particularsemenbreed.DiluentⅢwastheoptimalcommercialdiluentforthestorageofYorkshireboar semen.ButDiluentⅡwastheoptimalcommercial diluentforLandraceboarsemenstoredat17℃. Withtheextensionofstoragetime,thefactthat CAT,T-AOCcontentdecreased,butMDAcontent increasedwasbecausethatspermweredestroyedby ROS,whichcausedthedecreaseofthelevelsofthe antioxidantenzymesandthetotalantioxidantcapacity andtheincreaseoftheoxidativedamage.Inaddition, thedecreaseofspermactivityduringthestoragepartly dependedonthedeclineoftheantioxidantcapacity.
