Characterization of the swine semen proteomic profile and its relationship with freezability
Keywords:
Biomarkers, Crytolerance, Cryopreservation, Seminal proteomeAbstract
Cryopreserved swine semen has limited commercial use due to the loss of sperm quality that occurs during the freezing and thawing processes. The porcine sperm cell has peculiarities that contribute to high sensitivity to low temperatures, such as the structure and composition of the plasma membrane. In addition, recent studies point to the relationship between the presence of proteins at the level of sperm membrane and seminal plasma with the cryotolerance of sperm cells. Therefore, this review addresses the intimate relationship between the protein profile of the semen and its freezability. The freezability of the semen can vary from animal to animal and even between ejaculations of the same boar. Research has identified several proteins that appear in higher concentrations in semen with high freezability. The proteomics technique has a great potential linked to reproduction and can be used to identify fertility markers or ejaculates suitable for the freezing / thawing process, thus avoiding expenses, be they for the maintenance of boar with low quality semen for freezing or semen processing for cryopreservation.
