Abstract

DNA hasarının belirlenebilmesi, sperma saklama yöntemlerinin geliştirilmesi açısından önemlidir. Biz çalışmamızda farklı liyofilizasyon medyumları kullanılarak saklanan sperm hücrelerinin DNA bütünlüğünün değerlendirilmesinde akridin oranj (AO) ve therminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-medited dUDP nick and labelling (TUNEL) florasan boyama yöntemlerini kullandık. Koçlardan alınan sperma dört gruba bölündü ve her bir grup: I) %10 fötal buzağı serumu (FCS) içeren TCM 199 solüsyonu II) %10 FCS ve 0.2 mol/L trehaloz içeren TCM 199 solüsyonu III) 50 mmol/L NaCl ve EGTA [Ethylen glycol-bis (β-aminoethyl ether)-N, N, N, N,-tetraacetic acid] 10 mmol/L Tris solüsyonu ve IV) %20 yumurta sarısı ve %7 gliserol içeren Tris bazlı solüsyonlardan biri ile konsantrasyonu 10 x 106 spermatozoa/100 μL olacak şekilde sulandırıldı.
Taze alınan spermada DNA fragmentasyon oranı AO ve TUNEL yöntemlerinde sırasıyla %2 ve %4 olarak tespit edildi (P>0.05). AO ve TUNEL yöntemiyle değerlendirilen liyofilizasyon sonrası DNA bütünlüğüne sahip spermatozoa oranlarının, sulandırıcı farklılığına göre etkilenmediği tespit edildi (P>0.05). Aynı şekilde her iki boyama yöntemi karşılaştırıldığında, liyofilizasyon sonrası elde edilen DNA bütünlüğünün değerlendirilmesinde AO ve TUNEL sonuçlarının istatistiksel olarak farklı olmadığı belirlendi (P>0.05).
