Freeze-dried mouse sperm nucleus has tolerance against extreme environments

ABSTRACT: To demonstrate the tolerance of mammalian sperm nucleus against extreme environments, mouse spermatozoa were freeze-dried and treated with 95 °C for 1 h or irradiated at over 5 Gy. Although all sperm were ostensibly dead after rehydration, healthy offspring were obtained from recovered sperm nuclei. The normality of those offspring were examined by microarray, and no difference were detected compare to fresh control offspring.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to determine the microRNA (miRNA) content of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from murine mesenchymal stem cells (mMSC), and evaluate reproducibility among distinct EV productions. We also aimed at assessing the effect of freeze-drying on EV miRNA content, by performing sequencing on freeze-dried EVs and calculating statistical difference between unmodified and freeze-dried EVs. Methods: mMSC-derived EVs were obtained from mMSC in culture in reduced serum medium Opti-MEM by differential centrifugation, with a final step at 100,000 g for 110 min at 4°C. EV pellets (freeze-dried (n=3) or not (n=2)) were resuspended in Qiazol lysis buffer and RNA was extracted following RNeasy Micro kit. cDNA libraries for sequencing were prepared using the TruSeq Small RNA Sample Preparation Kit. Amplified cDNA constructs were purified on 6 % PAGE gel and DNA molecules corresponding to 15–50 nucleotide transcripts were excised, eluted from gel, and concentrated. Image analyses and base calling were performed using the HiSeq Control Software and Real-Time Analysis component (Illumina). Before statistical analysis, genes with less than 15 reads (cumulating all the analysed samples) were filtered out. Differentially expressed miRNA were identified using three Bioconductor packages: edgeR, DESeq and DESeq2. Results: Considering miRNAs detected with at least 5 counts (in terms of normalised counts), 339 miRNAs were identified and miRNA content was highly conserved among the two batches tested, with 237 miRNAs out of the 339 present in both batches (70%). Statistical analysis did not evidence statistical difference between unmodified EVs (n=2) and freeze-dried EVs (n=3) (DESeq2, p<0.05). No statistical difference was found using other Bioconductor packages DESeq and edgeR. These results indicated conservation of miRNA content following freeze-drying. Conclusion: mMSC-EV miRNA content was comparable between the two EV productions analysed, indicating reproducibility. Some of the miRNAs identified were consistent with previously published results on MSC-derived EVs. Freeze-drying conserved miRNA content.
