Definitions
- the invention involves the substantially uniform binding of fluorochrome(s) to the DNA within mammalian spermatozoa (or sperm cells) allowing such labeled spermatozoa to be separated into high purity X-chromosome bearing and Y-chromosome bearing populations. Specifically, methods for the substantially uniform binding of fluorochrome(s) to the DNA of mammalian spermatozoa contained within previously frozen and then thawed semen.
- the invention further involves devices, methods, and compositions for the use of high purity separated X-chromosome bearing and Y-chromosome bearing populations of spermatozoa from previously frozen-thawed semen in processes involving, but not limited to, artificial insemination, surgical insemination, and in-vitro fertilization and embryo culturing techniques.
- Sperm can be collected from a great variety of mammals and then separated into X- chromosome bearing and Y-chromosome bearing populations based upon the difference in DNA content.
- the DNA content of the spermatozoa to be separated can be stained with a fluorochrome(s) that upon excitation emit(s) a measurable amount of fluorescence.
- fluorochrome(s) that upon excitation emit(s) a measurable amount of fluorescence.
- a significant problem with conventional methods of separating X-chromosome bearing spermatozoa from Y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa can be that each resulting population contains a significant number of incorrectly separated spermatozoa that belong in the other population.
- This problem in differentiating between spermatozoa can, in part, be attributed to the lack of uniformity in the amount of fluorochrome bound to the spermatozoal DNA.
- a range in the amount of fluorochrome bound by X-chromosome bearing spermatozoa is generated and a range in the amount of fluorochrome bound by Y- chromosome bearing spermatozoa is generated.
- these ranges in the amount of fluorochrome overlap or yield some values that are similar it can be difficult or impossible to classify those individual spermatozoa to one population or the other with any degree of certainty and cross contamination of the populations can occur.
- the mean purity for separatedY- chromosome bearing spermatozoa population derived from previously frozen-thawed semen can be 85% or less, and the mean purity for separated X-chromosome bearing spermatozoa population derived from previously frozen-thawed semen can be 82% or less.
- Another significant problem associated with staining of spermatozoal DNA can be the detrimental effects on fertilization rates and subsequent embryonic development of fertilized oocyte(s) (oocyte, ootid, or ovum, or a plurality of same, as may be appropriate within a specific application) .
- One aspect of this problem may be that the amount of stain bound to the DNA may effect the viability of the spermatozoa resulting in lower fertilization rates.
- Another aspect of this problem can be that the amount of time that elapses during the staining of the DNA may effect the viability of the sperm resulting in lower fertilization rates.
- Another aspect of this problem may be that the amount of time that elapses during staining of the DNA may lower subsequent cleavage rates of oocytes fertilized with such stained spermatozoa. A 20% decline in cleavage rates have been observed for oocytes when staining time requires 190 minutes as compared to when staining time requires 60 minutes. Another aspect of this problem may be that the percent of oocytes fertilized with stained spermatozoa that proceed to blastulation may be lower as described in the journal article entitled "In vitro Fertilization with Flow-Cytometrically-Sorted Bovine Sperm", Theriogenology 52: 1393- 1405 (1999), hereby incorporated by reference herein.
- cryopreserved sperm may demostrate increased capacitation, and the length of time such spermatozoa are viable may be shortened.
- previously frozen spermatozoa are to be separated into X-chromosome bearing and Y-chromosome bearing populations that are to be subsequently used in applications such as in-vitro fertilization, in-vivo artificial insemination, or the like, then routine staining procedures may have to be abbreviated to maintain suitable number of viable sperm cells.
- One aspect of this broad object of the invention can be to narrow the range in magnitude of emitted fluorescence for each of the X-chromosome bearing population and the Y-chromosome bearing population of spermatozoa upon passing through a fluorochrome excitation source.
- Another aspect of this broad object of the invention can be to increase the difference between the mean values of magnitude of emitted fluorescence for each of the X- chromosome bearing population and the Y-chromosome bearing population of spermatozoa upon passing through a fluorochrome excitation source.
- Another aspect of this broad object of the invention can be to decrease the number of spermatozoa incorrectly assigned to each of the X-chromosome bearing population and the Y-chromosome bearing population of spermatozoa.
- Another aspect of this broad object of the invention can be to generate separate X- chromosome bearing and Y-chromosome bearing populations having greater than 85% purity or greater than 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91 %, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or even 99% purity.
- Another broad object of embodiment of the invention can be to allow assessment of a wide range of genetics. Rather than being limited to the genetics of individuals from species of mammals having proximity to a spermatozoa separating or sorting facility, genetics representing a wide variety of individuals from numerous species can be transported as frozen semen to distant spermatozoa separation facilities for subsequent separation into X- chromosome bearing and into Y-chromosome bearing populations.
- These species of mammals may include, but are not limited to primates, such as chimpanzees, gorillas, humans, or the like; marine mammals, such as whales, porpoises, or the like; bovids; ovids; swine; canids; felids; or equids, as but a few examples. It may also include genetics that are considered rare because the species of mammal may be endangered or few in number; or considered rare because the individual has desirable morphological, physiological, or intellectual attributes.
- Another broad object of embodiments of the invention can provide separation technology for differentiating between X-chromosome bearing and Y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa obtained from frozen-thawed semen.
- Another object of embodiments of the invention can be to provide DNA staining technology to more uniformly stain the DNA of spermatozoa contained in frozen-thawed semen to improve the apparent resolution between X-chromosome bearing and Y- chromosome bearing spermatozoa.
- Another object of embodiments of the invention can be to provide high purity artificial insemination samples prepared from separated spermatozoa from frozen-thawed semen.
- Another object of embodiments of the invention can be to provide high purity low dose artificial insemination samples prepared from separated spermatozoa from frozen- thawed semen.
- Another object of embodiments of the invention can be to provide high purity insemination samples for surgical insemination procedures prepared from separated spermatozoa from frozen-thawed semen.
- Another object of an embodiment of the invention can be to provide high purity insemination samples for in-vitro fertilization procedures prepared from separated spermatozoa from frozen-thawed semen.
- Another object of an embodiment of the invention can be to provide high purity insemination samples for in-vitro fertilization procedures prepared from separated spermatozoa from frozen-thawed human semen.
- Another object of an embodiment of the invention can be to provide technology for staining and separation of spermatozoa from frozen-thawed sperm into X-chromosome bearing populations and Y-chromosome bearing populations for in-vitro fertilization of oocyte(s) that is not detrimental to cleavage rates or embryonic development.
- Figure 1 shows a particular embodiment of the invention for staining the DNA of spermatozoa contained in frozen-thawed semen.
- Figure 2 shows a particular embodiment of the invention for separating spermatozoa from frozen-thawed semen into X-chromosome bearing and Y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa.
- Figure 3 shows a further view of a particular embodiment of the invention for separating spermatozoa from frozen-thawed semen into X-chromosome bearing and Y- chromosome bearing spermatozoa.
- the method used to sort the X-chromosome bearing and Y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa must provide sufficient resolution of the X-chromosome bearing spermatozoa from the Y- chromosome bearing spermatozoa so that separation or sorting step(s) can be achieved without substantial cross contamination.
- Resolution or differentiation of spermatozoa can be based upon ascertaining the difference in the fluorescent emission from the amount of fluorochrome bound to the DNA within the X-chromosome bearing spermatozoa upon excitation and the fluorescent emission from the amount of fluorochrome bound to the DNA within the Y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa upon excitation.
- Separation of X-chromosome bearing spermatozoa and Y- chromosome bearing spermatozoa based upon this measurable difference may then be achieved by a number of methods such as flow cytometry, liquid chromatography, gel electrophoresis, and other technologies that similarly compare the relative magnitude of fluorescence to differentiate between X-chromosome bearing spermatozoa and the Y- chromosome bearing spermatozoa.
- Spermatozoa separation systems can have problems differentiating between the fluorescent emission generated by the fluorochrome bound to the DNA of X-spermatozoa, and the fluorescent emission generated by the fluorochrome bound to the DNA of Y- spermatozoa upon excitation when the amount of the fluorochrome bound to the DNA of individual spermatozoa is not consistent within the Y-chromosome bearing or X- chromosome bearing populations. These difficulties in differentiating between the amount of fluorescent emissions generated by the bound fluorochrome(s) become exacerbated when spermatozoa are obtained from frozen-thawed sperm which are stained by conventional techniques.
- the failure to stain the spermatozoal DNA consistently can generate a broader range of fluorescing species for both X-chromosome bearing and Y-chromosome bearing populations of spermatozoa.
- This broader range of fluorescing species for the two populations results in an increased range of apparent DNA molecular weights and a decreased ability to resolve X-chromosome bearing from Y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa.
- the decrease in resolution makes separation of the X-chromosome bearing spermatozoa from the Y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa more difficult and results in cross contamination between populations and a lower purity of separated spermatozoa samples are obtained.
- Particular embodiments of the invention provide technology to stain the DNA of live viable spermatozoa or the spermatozoal DNA of frozen-thawed semen specimens to allow increased resolution of X-chromosome bearing from the Y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa resulting in high purity X-chromosome bearing and high purity Y-chromosome bearing populations of sperm cells.
- high purity can mean greater resolution of the X-chromosome bearing from the Y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa compared to conventional staining technology for a given application.
- High purity can also mean less cross contamination between separated spermatozoa populations compared to conventional separation technologies.
- high purity for stained frozen-thawed live spermatozoa can mean sorted populations of X-chromosome bearing spermatozoa and Y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa having a purity greater than about 85%.
- live viable sperm or sperm nuclei are being sorted high purity may mean X-chromosome bearing and Y-chromosome bearing populations having a purity greater than about 90%.
- the definition of high purity is contextual involving a comparison of the results obtained from each embodiment of the invention compared to the results obtained when utilizing convention technologies for a particular application.
- high purity can mean populations of isolated spermatozoa bearing greater than 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91 %, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% of either an X-chromosome or a Y-chromosome.
- Embodiments of the invention can include spermatozoa collected from numerous species of male mammals, and the invention should be understood not to be limited to the species of male mammals described by the specific examples within this application. Rather the specific examples within this application are intended to be illustrative of the varied and numerous species of male mammals from which semen can be collected and utilized in certain embodiments of the invention.
- Embodiments of the invention may include the spermatozoa of animals having commercial value for meat or dairy production such as swine, ovids, bovids, equids, buffalo, or the like (naturally the mammals used for meat or dairy production may vary from culture to culture).
- spermatozoa of various domesticated mammalian species encompassed by canids and felids may also include spermatozoa from individuals of various mammalian species that have uncommon attribute(s), such as morphological characteristics including weight, size, or conformation, or other desired characteristics such as speed, agility, intellect, or the like. It may also include spermatozoa of primates, including but not limited to chimpanzees, gorillas, or humans and the spermatozoa from marine mammals such as whales and dolphins. It may also include frozen-thawed spermatozoa from all the various mammals above-described and further, including but not limited to, the spermatozoa of deceased donors, from rare or exotic mammals, zoological specimens, or endangered species.
- particular embodiments of the invention can comprise semen containing spermatozoa (1) collected from a male mammal, including but not limited to, those above-described.
- the spermatozoa can be incubated in a concentration of Hoechst 33342 stain (2) of greater than about 40 ⁇ M at a temperature between about 30 ° Centigrade and about 40° Centigrade for a duration of time between 50 minutes to 200 minutes to stain spermatozoal DNA with sufficient uniformity to allow X-chromosome bearing spermatozoa to be differentiated from Y-chrornosome bearing spermatozoa based upon the magriitude of fluorescence at a rate greater than about 85%.
- the concentration of Hoechst 33342 stain between 40 ⁇ M and 2500 ⁇ M , the temperature between 30 ° Centigrade and about 40° Centigrade, and the duration of time between 50 minutes and 200 minutes can be selected to adjust the purity of the separated X- chromosome bearing and Y-chromosome bearing populations, or can be selected to promote cleavage rates and embryonic development, as further discussed below.
- the concentration of Hoechst 33342 can be increased to between about 200 ⁇ M and about 2500 ⁇ M, incubated for a period of time between about 60 minutes to about 190 minutes at a temperature of about 37 ° Centigrade.
- the Hoechst 33342 stain (2) can be adjusted to establish a concentration of 2240 ⁇ M and then incubated for about 60 minutes at about 39 ° Centigrade.
- the increase in stain concentration up to at least 2240 ⁇ M does not appear to have a depressive effect on either cleavage or embryonic development.
- Higher stain concentrations may actually be beneficial with respect to certain embodiments of the invention because the length of incubation time may be decreased improving percent cleavage or blastocyst formation. From application to application the concentration of Hoechst 33342, the length of incubation time, or both can be adjusted to obtain the maximal cleavage rate and blastocyst formation, if desired.
- flow cytometric embodiments of the invention can include a cell source (3) which acts to establish or supply stained spermatozoa (fresh, frozen-thawed, sperm nuclei, or the like) to be analyzed by flow cytometry.
- the cells are deposited within a nozzle (4) in a manner such that the stained sperm cells are surrounded by a sheath fluid (5).
- the sheath fluid (5) is usually supplied by a sheath fluid source (6) so that as the cell source (3) supplies sperm cells, the sheath fluid (5) is concurrently fed through the nozzle (4). In this manner the sheath fluid (5) forms a sheath fluid environment for the sperm cells.
- the various fluids are provided to the flow cytometer at some pressure, they flow out of the nozzle (4) and exit at the nozzle orifice (7).
- a type of oscillator (8) which may be very precisely controlled through an oscillator control (9)
- pressure waves may be established within the nozzle (4) and transmitted to the fluids exiting the nozzle (4) at the nozzle orifice (7).
- the oscillator (9) acts upon the sheath fluid (5), the stream (10) exiting the nozzle orifice (7) eventually and regularly forms drops (11). Because the sperm cells are at least partially surrounded by a sheath fluid environment, the drops (11) can contain within them individually isolated sperm cells.
- the flow cytometer can distinguish and separate droplets based upon the magriitude of fluorescence emitted from the fluorochrome bound to the spermatozoal DNA. This is accomplished through a cell sensing system (12).
- the cell sensing system involves at least some type of sensor (13) which responds to the magnitude of fluorescence emitted by each sperm cell contained within each drop (11).
- the sperm cell sensing system (13) may cause an action depending upon the relative presence or relative absence of fluorescence emitted by the bound fluorochrome upon excitation by some stimulant such as the laser exciter (14).
- each spermatozoon can be stained by the fluorochrome, such as Hoechst 33342, as described above, the differing amount of DNA comprising the X-chromosome and the Y-chromosome causes different amounts of stain to be bound.
- the fluorochrome such as Hoechst 33342
- the signals received by sensor (14) are fed to some type of sorter discrimination system (15) which very rapidly makes a differentiation decision and can differentially charge each drop (11) based upon whether it has decided that the desired sperm cell does or does not exist within that drop (11).
- the separation or discrimination system (15) acts to permit the electrostatic deflection plates (16) to deflect drops (11) based on whether or not they contain the appropriate sperm cell.
- the flow cytometer acts to sort cells by causing them to land in one or more collectors or containment elements (17).
- the flow cytometer can discriminate between sperm cells based on that particular characteristic and place them in the appropriate collector or containment element (17).
- the X-bearing sperm cell containing droplets are charged positively and thus deflect in one direction, and the Y-bearing sperm cell containing droplets are charged negatively and thus deflect the other way, and the wasted stream (containing unsortable sperm cells) remain uncharged and thus can be collected in an undeflected stream into a suction tube, or the like.
- the nozzle (4) emits a stream (10) which because of the oscillator (8) (not shown in Figure 3) forms drops (11).
- the sperm cell source (3) (not shown in Figure 3) may supply sperm cells (1) which may be stained according to the above-described invention
- the light emission from the bound fluorochrome excited by laser exciter (13) can be differentially determined by sensor (14) so that the existence or nonexistence of a charge on each drop (11) as it separates from stream (10) can be controlled by the flow cytometer.
- This control results in positively charged, negatively charged, or uncharged drops (8) based upon the sperm cell contained within each drop (11).
- certain drops are shown as deflected drops (18).
- deflected drops (18) are those containing spermatozoon differentiated by bearing either an X-chromosome or a Y- chromosome. Separated spermatozoa are then isolated in an appropriate collection element or containment element (17) for later use.
- Embodiments of the invention can comprise droplets (11) each containing a sperm cell (15) bearing either an X-chromosome or a Y-chromosome.
- Droplets containing X- chromosome bearing sperm cells can be isolated into containment elements) (17) at a rate of at least 1000 per second or at a rate greater than about 1000 per second, such as 2000 per second, 3000 per second, 4000 per second, 5000 per second, or higher.
- Y- chromosome bearing sperm cells can be isolated at a rate of at least 1000 per second or at a rate greater than about 1000 per second, such as 2000 per second, 3000 per second, 4000 per second, 5000 per second, or higher.
- droplets containing X-chromosome bearing sperm cells and droplets containing Y-chromosome bearing sperm cells are simultaneously separated and isolated into containment elements each at a rate of at least 1000 per second, or greater than 1000 per second, such as 2000 per second, 3000 per second, 4000 per second, 5000 per second, or at even higher rates.
- Embodiments of the invention can also include artificial insemination samples prepared from sperm cells collected from male mammals (which can be frozen and thawed with respect to some embodiments of the invention) that are then stained and separated according to embodiments of the invention above-described.
- the artificial insemination samples can then be utilization in artificial insemination protocols.
- a bovine artificial insemination sample prepared from separated spermatozoa according to the invention can comprise fewer than 10 x 10 ⁇ viable spermatozoa contained within a straw.
- Low dose artificial insemination samples for bovine artificial insemination can contain as few as 1-3 x 10 6 viable spermatozoa, or even as few as 150,000 spermatozoa as described in United States Patent Application 09/001 ,394, or PCT Patent Application US98/27909, each hereby incorporated by reference.
- Artificial insemination samples, having a regular number of separated sperm cells or a low dose of separated sperm cells can be used in animal breeding programs, such as those described in United States Patent Applications 60/224,050 and 60/21,093, each hereby incorporated by reference.
- Artificial insemination samples containing previously frozen and thawed spermatozoa stained and separated according to the invention can also be utilized in conjunction with synchronized breeding programs using superovulated animals as described in United States patent Application 09/001,454, hereby incorporated by reference herein.
- an artificial insemination sample prepared according to the invention may contain even fewer spermatozoa.
- the number of viable separated spermatozoa that are stained, separated, and isolated into X-chromosome bearing or Y-chromosome bearing populations according to the invention that are used in an artificial insemination sample can vary based upon the species of mammal to be artificially inseminated. For example, equine artificial insemination samples prepared from separated spermatozoa may require a higher number of viable separated spermatozoa relative to the bovine application, as described in PCT Patent Application US99/17165, hereby incorporated by reference. An embodiment of an equine insemination sample may, as but one example, contain between about forty million to about one-hundred million spermatozoa.
- the insemination sample containing separated spermatozoa collected from a male mammal or obtained from frozen-thawed sperm may be packaged for use with surgical insemination procedures
- Sperm cells stained, separated, or isolated according to the invention can also be used to fertilize oocyte(s) in-vitro (IVF).
- An attractive feature of F/F can be that fewer separated sperm are need than for artificial insemination. It may be desirable to use the fewest sperm possible, especially if the male mammal is deceased, rare, or exotic or if the spermatozoa are stained or separated in accordance with various embodiments of the invention.
- commercial availability of sperm cells separated into X-chromosome bearing and Y- chromosome bearing populations especially when the male mammal is located a distance from the female mammal, or is exotic, rare, or has desirable attributes, will likely result in greatly expanded use of IVF in breeding programs.
- Certain embodiments of the invention can include devices and methodologies for the use of separated spermatozoa, including but not limited to frozen-thawed sperm cells, with respect to the in-vitro fertilization of oocytes, the in-vitro oocyte maturation, or the in-vitro culture of zygotes, such as those described in the journal article by Lu, K.H., Cran D.G., and Seidel, G. E., In-vitro Fertilization With Flow Cytometrically-Sorted Bovine Sperm, Theriogenology, 52, 1393-1405 (1999), hereby incorporated by reference.
- Certain embodiments of the invention involving the production or generation of mammalian embryos can comprise collection of semen (1) from a male mammal or obtaining semen or spermatozoa (1) that are or have been previously frozen.
- the semen is combined wtih Hoechst 33342 (2) stain to establish a concentration of between 40 ⁇ M and 2500 ⁇ M.
- the sperm cells are incubated with the Hoechst 33342 stain at a temperature between about 30 ° Centigrade and about 40° Centigrade for a duration of between about 50 minutes to about 200 minutes.
- the stained sperm cells may be separated and isolated into X-chromosome bearing and Y- chromosome bearing populations according to embodiments of the invention described above or by other sperm cell separation techniques that also differentiate X-chromosome bearing spermatozoa from Y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa based upon the magnitude of fluorescence.
- the isolated sperm cells may then be used to fertilize oocytes from a female mammal of the same species, and in some cases from female mammals of different species, in-vitro.
- sperm samples from two bulls were stained either at a concentration of 224 ⁇ M or 2,240 ⁇ M of Hoechst 33342 and the stained spermatozoa were then bulk sorted on a flow cytometer at 1000 sperm/sec into 2% egg yolk citrate.
- Spermatozoa were inseminated at lxlOVmL and embryos were cultured in the mS OF system described by Tervit H.R. et al., Successful Culture In-Nitro of Sheep and Cattle Ova, J. Reprod. Fertil., 30:493-497 (1992), hereby incorporated by reference.
- Three replicates were carried out for bull 1 and one replicate for bull 2 (Table 1).
