AnÃlise proteÃmica do plasma seminal de carneiros Santa InÃs adulto / Proteomic analysis of seminal plasma Santa InÃs rams adult

JoÃo Paulo Arcelino do RÃgo 16 March 2010 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / O Nordeste brasileiro à detentor de um expressivo rebanho ovino, e, dentre as raÃas deslanadas existentes na regiÃo, a Santa InÃs se destaca por apresentar bom desenvolvimento corporal, ganho de peso e adaptabilidade Ãs condiÃÃes tropicais. Recentemente, demonstrou-se que o perfil protÃico do plasma seminal de carneiros Santa InÃs passa por alteraÃÃes significativas durante o desenvolvimento reprodutivo, simultaneamente a mudanÃas nos parÃmetros de motilidade e concentraÃÃo espermÃtica. Contudo, ainda nÃo se conhece a identidade de todas essas proteÃnas. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho foi conduzido com o objetivo de identificar as proteÃnas do plasma seminal de carneiros Santa InÃs maduros, utilizando as tÃcnicas de eletroforese bidimensional associada à espectrometria de massa. Amostras de sÃmen foram coletadas de oito carneiros adultos e o plasma seminal obtido atravÃs de centrifugaÃÃo e submetido à eletroforese bidimensional. Os gÃis foram corados com Coomassie coloidal, digitalizados e analisados no aplicativo PDQuest. Os spots foram cortados individualmente dos gÃis, digeridos com tripsina, e submetidos a identificaÃÃo por espectrometria de massa (MALDI-ToF/ToF). A sequÃncia peptÃdica das proteÃnas mais abundantes e a distribuiÃÃo dos domÃnios foram representadas graficamente utilizando o aplicativo Caititu. Foram detectados, em mÃdia, 302 spots por gel. Destes, 143 estavam presentes em todos os gÃis. Trinta e nove spots foram identificados, correspondendo a 26 diferentes proteÃnas. As proteÃnas mais abundantes foram as RSVPs 14 e 22 kDa, pertencentes à famÃlia das binder of sperm proteins, e as Bodesinas-1 e 2, pertencentes à famÃlia das espermadesinas. Outras proteÃnas foram identificas no estudo, incluindo albumina, clusterina, peroxiredoxina, lactotransferrina, metaloproteinase de matriz 2 (MMP-2), beta galactosidase e heat shock proteins. Dessa forma, a identidade dessas proteÃnas sugere que o plasma seminal de carneiros Santa InÃs contÃm componentes que participam de diversos processos fisiolÃgicos, incluindo proteÃÃo do espermatozÃide, modulaÃÃo da motilidade e capacitaÃÃo espermÃtica, modificaÃÃo da membrana do espermatozÃide e interaÃÃo entre gametas. O conhecimento dessas proteÃnas contribuirà para uma melhor compreensÃo dos mecanismos de regulaÃÃo do plasma seminal sobre a funÃÃo espermÃtica em ovinos / Northeastern Brazil has a significant population of sheep and, among the native hairy breeds, Santa InÃs is known for its good performance and adaptability to tropical environments. Recently, it has been shown that the protein profile of the seminal plasma of Santa InÃs rams changes during sexual development, in concert with changes in semen parameters, such as sperm motility, morphology and concentration. However, the identity of seminal plasma proteins from these hairy rams is still unknown. Therefore, we pursued the identification of seminal plasma proteins from Santa InÃs rams using a proteomic approach. Semen samples were collected from eight mature rams, and seminal plasma saved after centrifugation. Seminal plasma protein maps, obtained by two-dimensional electrophoresis, were stained with colloidal Coomassie. The gels were scanned and analyzed using PDQuest software. Protein spots were individually cut, in-gel digested with trypsin and identified after tandem mass spectrometry and database search. On average , we detected 302 spots per gel, from which 143 were present on every member of the match set generated by PDQuest. Thirty-nine spots were positively identified by mass spectrometry, corresponding to 26 different proteins. The major proteins present in the maps were the BSP-like RSVP14 and RSVP22 and the spermadhesins bodhesin 1 and 2. Other proteins detected in the maps included albumin, clusterin, peroxiredoxin, lactoferrin, transferrin, matrix metalloproteinase 2, beta galactosidase and heat shock proteins. The Identity of these proteins suggest their participation on several physiological events, such as sperm protection, regulation of sperm motility and capacitation, modification of sperm membrane and fertilization. The knowledge of the proteome of the ovine seminal plasma is a necessary step towards the understanding of the mechanisms underlying the regulation of sperm function by seminal plasma components in rams
