This study aimed to investigate the morphological, functional and molecular changes in frozen–thawed ram sperm using an extender containing different concentrations of hydrated carbon 60 fullerene (C60HyFn), a nanotechnological product. Semen taken from each of the seven Akkaraman rams were pooled. Semen collection was done twice a week and it continued for 3 weeks. Each pooled semen sample was divided into six equal groups and diluted with tris + egg yolk extender including 0 (control), 200, 400, 800 nM, 1 and 5 μM concentrations of C60HyFn at 37°C. They were then frozen in liquid nitrogen vapour at −140°C, stored in liquid nitrogen container (−196°C) and thawed at 37°C for 25 s before analysis. In comparison with control, C60HyFn addition prior to freezing procedure provided significant increases in total and progressive motility rates, glutathione peroxidase, catalase activities and percentage of highly active mitochondria, and significant decreases in dead and abnormal sperm rates, lipid peroxidation, caspase‐3 and DNA fragmentation levels in frozen–thawed ram semen. When compared to control, C60HyFn supplementation significantly down‐regulated the expression levels of miR‐200a and KCNJ11, and significantly up‐regulated the expression levels of miR‐3958‐3p (at the concentrations of 200, 400, 800 nM and 1 μM), CatSper1 (at the concentrations of 200, 400 nM and 5 μM), CatSper2 (at the concentrations of 1 and 5 μM), CatSper3 (at the concentrations of 200, 400 nM, 1 and 5 μM), CatSper4 (at all concentrations), ANO1 (at the concentrations of 800 nM, 1 and 5 μM) and TRPV5 (at the concentrations of 200, 400 and 800 nM). The addition of C60HyFn had no effect on global DNA methylation rates. As a result, C60HyFn supplementation to ram semen extenders may be beneficial in reducing some of the functional, structural and molecular damages in sperm induced by the freeze–thawing procedure.

- Abstract
Türkçe Özet (sunuş, takdim, tanıtım yazısı): Gelişen teknoloji ve bilim, farklı endüstrilerde kullanılmak üzere çeşitli materyallerin geliştirilmesine imkan tanımıştır. Bu materyaller devasa büyüklüklere ulaşabildikleri gibi, nanometre boyunda dahi üretilebilmektedir. 1 ile 100 nanometre boyutundaki bu materyallere nanomateryal ya da nanoparçacık ismi verilmektedir. Nanoparçacıkların kullanım alanlarını kapsayan ve günümüz dünyasının en hızlı gelişen teknolojilerinden birisi olarak anılan nanoteknoloji; sağlık, enerji, metalurji, fizik, kimya, mühendislik vb. pek çok alanda kullanım bulmuştur. Çok farklı şekillerde üretilen nanomalzemeler kimyasal sentez protokollerinin yanı sıra çeşitli biyolojik yapılardan da sentezlenebilmektedir. Biyouyumlu nanomalzemeler olarak adlandırılan bu materyaller sağlıkta özellikle onkoloji, doku mühendisliği, ilaç taşınımı vb. alanlarda görev almaktadır. Bu alanların bazıları, nanobiyoteknolojik olarak oldukça ileri gitse de kimi alanlar nanoteknoloji ile yeni tanışmaktadır. Bu alanlardan bir tanesi olan reprodüktif biyoteknolojiler ise henüz bir bebeğin emeklemesi gibi yavaş yavaş ancak dikkatli bir biçimde nanomateryalleri kullanmakta ve yapılan çalışmalar ile her geçen gün şaşırtıcı gelişmeler yaşanmaktadır. Siz değerli okuyucularımız için hazırlanan bu kitapta, nanoteknolojinin reprodüksiyonda kullanım alanları derlenmiş, çeşitli biyomühendislik çalışmalarından, embriyo manipülasyonlarındaki işlevlerinden, spermanın saflaştırılmasından, infertilite tedavilerinden, çeşitli nanomalzemelerin hem memeli spermasına hem de sucul canlılara etkilerinden bahsedilmeye çalışılmıştır. Nanoteknolojinin reprodüktif biyoteknolojiler üzerine kullanım alanlarının anlatılmaya çalışıldığı bu kitabımıza katkıda bulunan tüm çalışma arkadaşlarıma emekleri için teşekkür ediyorum. Bilim dünyasına faydalı olması dileği ile... Dr. Öğr. Üyesi Ali Erdem ÖZTÜRK, Advancements in technology and science have facilitated the development of various materials for use in different industries. These materials can range from large sizes to even nanometer dimensions. Nanomaterials or nanoparticles, which fall within the size range of 1 to 100 nanometers, have emerged as a prominent aspect of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology, known as one of the fastest-growing technologies today, has found applications in a wide array of fields such as health, energy, metallurgy, physics, chemistry, and engineering. Nanomaterials can be produced using diverse methods, including chemical synthesis and the utilization of biological structures. Biocompatible nanomaterials, as they are commonly referred to, have particularly found significance in the medical science, including applications in oncology, tissue engineering, and drug delivery. While certain areas have made remarkable progress in terms of nanobiotechnology, there are other areas that are comparatively new to the realm of nanotechnology. Reproductive biotechnologies are among the fields that are slowly and cautiously exploring the use of nanomaterials. Similar to a baby's crawling, progress in this field is being made gradually, and each day brings forth surprising developments through ongoing studies. In this book, which is prepared for our esteemed readers, the uses of nanotechnology in reproduction have been compiled. It covers various bioengineering studies and explores its functions in embryo manipulation, semen purification, infertility treatments, as well as the effects of different nanomaterials on mammalian semen and aquatic organisms. I would like to express my gratitude to all my colleagues who have contributed to this book, aimed at explaining the applications of nanotechnology in reproductive biotechnologies. With the expectation that it would be beneficial to the scientific community... Assist. Prof. Ali Erdem ÖZTÜRK

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different doses of hydrated C-60 fullerene (C(60)HyFn) nanoparticles on ram semen during cool storage at 5 degrees C. Semen samples were collected from 7 healthy Akkaraman rams by artificial vagina during nonbreeding season (April) 3 times for two weeks (3 replications), and samples having good initial sperm motility (> 70 %) and count (> 2 billion / mL) were pooled and diluted with tris-egg yolk based extender at 37 degrees C. Then, the diluted semen samples were divided into 15 aliquots control and 14 different C(60)HyFn groups (25 nM, 50 nM, 100 nM, 200 nM, 400 nM, 800 nM, 1 mu M, 5 mu M, 10 mu M, 20 mu M, 40 mu M, 60 mu M, 80 mu M, and 100 mu M), and stored at 5 degrees C up to 144th h. The motility (total, progressive, rapid, medium, slow, and static), kinematic (VCL, VSL, VAP, LIN, STR, WOB, ALH, and BCF), and some other spermatological parameters (dead, abnormal, damaged acrosome, and membrane intactness) were examined at 0, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144th h. All C(60)HyFn doses except 25 nM, 50 nM, 60 mu M, 80 mu M, and 100 mu M had numerically higher total and progressive motility, membrane intactness and numerically lower static, dead and total abnormal spermatozoon ratios at the end of 144th h than control. The differences between 400 nM dose and control in membrane intactness, and also between 400, 800 nM doses and control in dead spermatozoon ratio were statistically significant (P < 0.0125). In conclusion, it is suggested that supplementation of any doses of C(60)HyFn between 100 nM and 40 mu M may be beneficial to keep some spermatological parameters at high level during the short-term storage of ram semen at 5 degrees C.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hydrated carbon 60 fullerene (C(60)HyFn) on ram semen quality during cryopreservation. Three ejaculates from each of seven Akkaraman rams were collected using an artificial vagina during the nonbreeding season and pooled. Pooled semen samples were divided into 10 equal parts and diluted with tris + egg yolk extender not containing (control) and containing 100, 200, 400, and 800 nM and 1, 5, 10, 20, and 40 mu M C(60)HyFn at 37 degrees C. After addition of 5% glycerol and an equilibration process for 3 hours, the samples were frozen in 0.25-mL straws in an automatic freezing device at -140 degrees C and stored in a liquid nitrogen container. Straws were thawed 24 hours after freezing and analyzed immediately with no incubation period. Motility, kinematic parameters, abnormality, vitality, hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST), and oxidative stress levels were analyzed in thawed semen. Compared with the control, 200, 400, and 800 nM and 1 and 5 mu M C(60)HyFn doses increased motility and HOST values and decreased the dead sperm rate. When compared with the control, addition of C(60)HyFn significantly decreased malondialdehyde levels (between 200 nM and 40 mu M doses) and significantly increased glutathione peroxidase (between 800 nM and 40 mu M doses) and catalase (between 1 and 40 mu M doses) activities. In conclusion, results of this study show that the C(60)HyFn nanoparticles are nontoxic to ram semen and their supplementation in the extender is beneficial to sperm motility and membrane integrity after freeze-thawing.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the semen freeze–thawing process on the functionality and molecular structure of ram spermatozoa. The temperature of pooled and diluted semen at 38°C (group 1, control) was lowered to 5°C (group 2), and it was subjected to glycerolisation–equilibration (group 3), frozen and thawed (group 4). Compared to the control, deterioration in spermatological parameters and significant increases in lipid peroxidation and global DNA methylation levels were observed in groups 3 and 4. When compared with the control, significant downregulation in the levels of miR-485 of group 2, miR-29a of group 3 and let-7a, miR-485 and miR-29a of group 4, and significant upregulation in the levels of miR-107 of group 3 and miR-127 of groups 3 and 4 were detected. In comparison to the control, significant upregulation in the levels of CatSper1, CatSper2, CatSper3, CatSper4, ANO1 and TRPM3 of group 2, CatSper4, ANO1 and TRPM3 of group 3 and KCNJ11 of group 4, and significant downregulation in the CatSper 3 level of group 4 were determined. As a result, the semen freeze–thawing process causes motility and morphological disorders in rams. This may be due to molecular changes associated with lipid peroxidation in spermatozoa.

Bu çalışmanın amacı sıçanlarda Michauxia campanuloides L’Hér. kullanımının bazı sperma parametreleri üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Sunulan çalışmanın bitki materyali antioksidan özellikli Michauxia campanuloides L’Hér.'dir. Çalışmanın hayvan materyalini 18 adet erkek Wistar albino sıçan oluşturmuştur. Sıçanlar kontrol (K; n=6), uygulama 1 (U1; n=6) ve uygulama 2 (U2; n=6) olmak üzere üç gruba ayrılmış ve M. campanuloides L’Hér.'in liyofilize sulu ekstresi U1 grubundaki sıçanlara 20 mg/kg ve U2 grubundaki sıçanlara 40 mg/kg dozunda 21 gün süreyle oral yolla günlük uygulandı. Çalışma sonunda tüm sıçanlar kan serumu total antioksidan kapasitesi (TAK), sperma yoğunluğu, sperma motilitesi, anormal spermatozoon oranı ile testis, epididimis, seminal bez ve ventral prostat ağırlığı yönünden muayene edildi. Sperma yoğunluğu K ve U1 gruplarına göre U2 grubunda anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek bulundu (P=0,002). Anormal spermatozoon oranının K grubuna göre U1 ve U2 grubunda anlamlı düzeyde daha düşük olduğu tespit edildi (P=0,003). Seminal bez ağırlığı K grubuna göre U1 ve U2 gruplarında istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek ölçüldü (P=0,016). Sonuç olarak, M. campanuloides ekstresinin oral tüketimi sıçanlarda sperma kalitesinde bir artış sağlamaktadır., The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Michauxia campanuloides L’Hér. on some semen parameters in rats. The plant material of the study is Michauxia campanuloides L'Hér. having antioxidant property. The animal material of the study consisted of 18 male Wistar albino rats. The rats were divided into three groups as control (C; n=6), treatment 1 (T1; n=6) and treatment 2 (T2; n=6). Lyophilized aqueous extract of M. campanuloides L’Hér. was administered orally at a dose of 20 mg/kg/day for rats in the T1 group and 40 mg/kg/day for rats in the T2 group for 21 days. At the end of the study, all rats were examined for blood total antioxidant capacity (TAC), semen density, semen motility, abnormal spermatozoon ratio along with testicular, epididymal, seminal gland and ventral prostate weight. Semen density was significantly higher in the T2 group compared to the C and T1 groups (P=0.002). Rates of abnormal spermatozoa were significantly lower in T1 and T2 groups than the C group (P=0.003). The weight of seminal gland was significantly higher in the T1 and T2 groups compared to the C group (P=0.016). In conclusion, oral consumption of M. campanuloides extract provides an increase in semen quality in rats.

This study aimed to investigate the morphological, functional and molecular changes in frozen-thawed ram sperm using an extender containing different concentrations of hydrated carbon 60 fullerene (C
60 HyFn), a nanotechnological product. Semen taken from each of the seven Akkaraman rams were pooled. Semen collection was done twice a week and it continued for 3 weeks. Each pooled semen sample was divided into six equal groups and diluted with tris + egg yolk extender including 0 (control), 200, 400, 800 nM, 1 and 5 μM concentrations of C60 HyFn at 37°C. They were then frozen in liquid nitrogen vapour at -140°C, stored in liquid nitrogen container (-196°C) and thawed at 37°C for 25 s before analysis. In comparison with control, C60 HyFn addition prior to freezing procedure provided significant increases in total and progressive motility rates, glutathione peroxidase, catalase activities and percentage of highly active mitochondria, and significant decreases in dead and abnormal sperm rates, lipid peroxidation, caspase-3 and DNA fragmentation levels in frozen-thawed ram semen. When compared to control, C60 HyFn supplementation significantly down-regulated the expression levels of miR-200a and KCNJ11, and significantly up-regulated the expression levels of miR-3958-3p (at the concentrations of 200, 400, 800 nM and 1 μM), CatSper1 (at the concentrations of 200, 400 nM and 5 μM), CatSper2 (at the concentrations of 1 and 5 μM), CatSper3 (at the concentrations of 200, 400 nM, 1 and 5 μM), CatSper4 (at all concentrations), ANO1 (at the concentrations of 800 nM, 1 and 5 μM) and TRPV5 (at the concentrations of 200, 400 and 800 nM). The addition of C60 HyFn had no effect on global DNA methylation rates. As a result, C60 HyFn supplementation to ram semen extenders may be beneficial in reducing some of the functional, structural and molecular damages in sperm induced by the freeze-thawing procedure., (© 2023 Wiley-VCH GmbH.
