          Abstract

          Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between proteins in the seminal plasma of tambaqui Colossoma macropomum (Cuvier, 1818) with seminal quality indicators after thawing. The semen was cryopreserved with a dilution based on BTS with 8% DMSO. A 200 µL sample of semen from each animal was diluted in 800 µL BTS, centrifuged at 800 rpm, and the supernatant was cryopreserved to further analyze of the protein profile of seminal plasma through one-dimensional electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). After 15 days of cryopreservation, a cryopreserved semen straw was thawed to analyze both qualitative and quantitative parameters. When considering all collections, the SDS-PAGE identified 15 protein bands in the seminal plasma of tambaqui. When the interaction (presence or absence) between proteins observed in the seminal plasma and the post thawed spermatic parameters was evaluated, we observed a great influence of the presence of proteins on spermatic quality. A greater (P<0.05) fertilization rate was observed with the presence of proteins 12, 34, 44, 85, and 90 kDa. Proteins in seminal plasma of tambaqui influenced the spermatic quality after thawing, and thus, they can be utilized as an indicator of sperm quality, especially the proteins with a molecular weight ≤ 50 kDa.

          Resumo O objetivo desse estudo foi de avaliar a associação entre a presença de proteínas no plasma seminal do tambaqui Colossoma macropomum (Cuvier, 1818) com indicadores de qualidade seminal pós-descongelamento. O semen foi criopreservado com diluidor a base de BTS com 8% DMSO. Uma amostra de 200 µL de semen de cada animal foi diluída em 800 µL de BTS, e centrifugada em 800 rpm, e somente o sobrenadante foi criopreservado para posterior análise do perfil proteico do plasma seminal, através da eletroforese unidimensional (SDS-PAGE). Decorridos 15 dias da criopreservação, uma palheta com semen criopreservado foi descongelado para análise dos parâmetros quali-quantitativos. Considerando todas as coletas, o SDS-PAGE identificou 15 bandas proteicas no plasma seminal do tambaqui. Quando se avaliou a interação (presença ou ausência) das proteínas encontradas no plasma seminal, com os parâmetros espermáticos pós-descongelamento, observou-se grande influência da presença das proteínas na qualidade espermática. Observou-se maior taxa de fertilização (P<0,05) com a presença das proteínas 12, 34, 44, 85 e 90 kDa. As proteínas do plasma seminal de tambaqui influenciaram na qualidade espermática após descongelamento, podendo ser utilizadas como indicadores para a qualidade espermática após descongelamento, principalmente as proteínas com peso molecular ≤50 kDa.

              Fertility-associated proteins in Holstein bull seminal plasma.

              This study was undertaken to determine whether bovine seminal plasma contained protein markers associated with bull fertility, and whether these markers were of value in predicting bull fertility. Seminal plasma was obtained from 35 Holstein bulls of known fertility. Two-dimensional PAGE of seminal plasma samples indicated that two proteins (26 kDa, pI 6.2; 55 kDa, pI 4.5) predominated in higher-fertility bulls, and two proteins (16 kDa, pI 4.1; 16 kDa, pI 6.7) predominated in lower-fertility bulls. Densitometry data for these proteins in individual samples were combined for bulls grouped by fertility level. Average density of the 26-kDa protein was significantly greater in seminal plasma of high-fertility bulls, and high-fertility seminal plasma also contained more of the 55-kDa protein than that of average- and below average-fertility bulls. Below average- and low-fertility bull seminal plasma had significantly more of both 16-kDa proteins than that of average- and high-fertility bulls. A regression model was developed to predict bull fertility using the four fertility-associated protein densities. A plot of actual bull fertility versus that calculated by this model was linear and positively correlated (r = 0.89). These findings indicate that bull seminal plasma contains fertility-associated proteins that are predictive of bull fertility.
