Resumen
The ICSI-sperm mediated gene transfer (ICSI-SMGT) has been used to produce transgenic mice with high efficiency, however, the efficiency of this technique in farm animals is still less than desirable. Pretreatment of sperm with membrane destabilizing agents can improve the efficiency of ICSI in cattle. The objective of the present study was to evaluate streptolysin-O (SLO) as a novel treatment to permeabilize the bovine sperm membrane and assess its effect on efficiency of generating transgenic embryos by ICSI-SMGT. First, there was evaluation of the plasma membrane integrity (SYBR/PI), acrosome membrane integrity (PNA/FITC), DNA damage (TUNEL) and binding capacity of exogenous DNA (Nick Translation) in bull sperm treated with SLO. Subsequently, there was assessment of embryonic development and the efficiency in generating transgenic embryos with enhanced expression of the gene for green fluorescent protein (EGFP). Results indicate that SLO efficiently permeabilizes the plasma and acrosome membranes of bull spermatozoa and increases binding of exogenous DNA mostly to the post-acrosomal region and tail without greatly affecting the integrity of the DNA. Furthermore, treatment of bull spermatozoa with SLO prior to the injection of oocytes by ICSI-SMGT significantly increased the rate of embryo expression of the EGFP gene. Future experiments are still needed to determine the effect of this treatment on the development and tansgene expression in fetuses and animals produced by ICSI-SMGT.
