Effect of exogenous DNA on bovine sperm functionality using the sperm mediated gene transfer (SMGT) technique
Sperm mediated gene transfer (SMGT) could provide the opportunity to carry out transgenesis on a mass scale using spermatozoa as vectors for exogenous DNA. However, the efficiency of sperm-mediated DNA transfer is still questionable, and the mode of transmission to the egg has not yet been well understood. Our aim was to investigate the capacity of bovine spermatozoa to carry exogenous DNA and its relationship to sperm functionality. We studied these parameters using flow cytometry to measure viability (necrosis and apoptosis) and capacitation status, computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA) to measure motility parameters and in vitro fertilization (IVF) to assess fertilizing capacity. Furthermore, we studied the effect of capacitation status on interaction with exogenous DNA, and the role of heparin supplementation in this process. Bull spermatozoa showed a high capacity to bind DNA quickly and reached a maximum after 30 min, with approximately half of the DNA-bound spermatozoa being viable. Incubation with exogenous DNA induced a decrease in sperm viability and motility and increased the proportion of apoptotic cells, but did not affect the cleavage rate in IVF assay. Heparin increased high-lipid disorder and the number of sperm with DNA bound (viable and dead). In conclusion, this study shows that live spermatozoa can bind exogenous DNA with a slight negative effect in some parameters of sperm function that in our opinion, would not drastically compromise fertility. © 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
