Long-term effects of mouse intracytoplasmic sperm injection with DNA-fragmented sperm on health and behavior of adult offspring

Abstract

Genetic and environmental factors produce different levels of DNA damage in spermatozoa. Usually, DNA-fragmented spermatozoa (DFS) are used with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatments in human reproduction, and use of DFS is still a matter of concern. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the long-term consequences on development and behavior of mice generated by ICSI with DFS. Using CD1 and B6D2F1 mouse strains, oocytes were injected with fresh spermatozoa or with frozen-thawed spermatozoa without cryoprotector. This treatment increased the percentage of TUNEL-positive spermatozoa, tail length as measured by comet assay, and loss of telomeres as measured by quantitative PCR. The ICSI-generated embryos were cultured for 24 h in KSOM, and 2-cell embryos were transferred into CD1 females. The DFS reduced both the rate of preimplantation embryo development and number of offspring. Immunofluorescence staining with an antibody against 5-methylcytosine showed a delay of 2 h on the active demethylation of male pronucleus in the embryos produced by ICSI. Moreover, ICSI affected gene transcription and methylation of some epigenetically regulated genes like imprinting, X-linked genes, and retrotransposon genes. ...Continue Reading

Epigenetic changes are present and dysregulated in many cancers, including DNA methylation, non-coding RNA segments and post-translational protein modifications. The epigenetic changes may or may not provide advantages for the cancer cells. This feed focuses on chromatin complexes and their role in cancer epigenetics.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.
