To investigate the effect of Y-27632 on low-temperature metabolism of sheep sperm, different concentrations of Y-27632 were added to sheep semen at 4 °C in this experiment to detect indicators such as sperm motility, plasma membrane, acrosome, antioxidant performance, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and metabolomics. The results showed that the addition of 20 µM Y-27632 significantly increased sperm motility, plasma membrane integrity rate, acrosome integrity rate, antioxidant capacity, MMP level, significantly increased sperm adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and total cholesterol content, and significantly reduced sperm Ca2+ content. In metabolomics analysis, compared with the control group, the 20 µM Y-27632 group screened 20 differential metabolites, mainly involved in five metabolic pathways, with the most significant difference in Histidine metabolism (P = 0.001). The results confirmed that Y-27632 significantly improved the quality of sheep sperm preservation under low-temperature conditions.
为了研究 Y-27632 对绵羊精子低温代谢的影响,本实验在 4℃下向绵羊精液中添加不同浓度的 Y-27632,检测精子运动能力、质膜、顶体、抗氧化性能、线粒体膜电位(MMP)和代谢组学等指标。结果表明,添加 20µM Y-27632 可显著提高精子运动能力、质膜完整率、顶体完整率、抗氧化能力、MMP 水平,显著增加精子三磷酸腺苷(ATP)和总胆固醇含量,显著降低精子 Ca2+含量。代谢组学分析表明,与对照组相比,20µM Y-27632 组筛选出 20 个差异代谢物,主要涉及 5 条代谢途径,其中组氨酸代谢差异最显著(P=0.001)。结果证实,Y-27632 可显著提高绵羊精子在低温条件下的保存质量。
