The aim of this experimental prospective study was to investigate the efficacy of single and combination sperm wash methods for their ability to isolate DNA intact spermatozoa.
Sperm DNA damage was introduced by local testicular irradiation in male mice and the extent of damage was quantified by comet assay. The spermatozoa were subjected to single (swim up or density gradient method) and also a combination of sperm wash techniques. The DNA integrity in various sub-fractions of wash techniques was evaluated.
The amount of DNA damaged sperm did not differ between individual fractions when single wash technique was applied. However, a combination of density gradient and swim-up techniques significantly reduced (p<0.01) the number of DNA damaged sperm in the final population.
The combination of density gradient separation and swim-up method is effective in eliminating DNA damaged spermatozoa.
本实验性前瞻性研究的目的是调查单一及联合精子洗涤方法分离DNA完整精子的能力。
通过对雄性小鼠进行局部睾丸照射引入精子DNA损伤,并通过彗星试验对损伤程度进行量化。对精子采用单一方法(上游法或密度梯度法)以及联合精子洗涤技术进行处理。评估洗涤技术各亚组分中的DNA完整性。
采用单一洗涤技术时,各组分中DNA受损精子的数量没有差异。然而,密度梯度法和上游法联合使用可显著减少(p<0.01)最终群体中DNA受损精子的数量。
密度梯度分离法和上游法联合使用可有效去除DNA受损精子。
