Nuclear maturity of human spermatozoa selected by swim-up or by Percoll gradient centrifugation procedures.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between sperm preparation techniques and nuclear maturity, as evidenced by the electrophoretic profiles of sperm nuclear proteins. DESIGN: Analysis of sperm nuclear quality in sperm populations used for IVF. SETTING: Center for infertility and assisted reproductive technology and university departments. PATIENTS: Twenty-seven men undergoing an infertility work-up. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comparative electrophoretic investigation of nucleoproteins extracted from spermatozoa selected by swim-up or Percoll techniques. RESULTS: Nuclear maturity level is improved after the two methods of selection but is more improved after Percoll. In the two groups, selected spermatozoa contain less histones. Moreover, Percoll gradients appeared to enrich for spermatozoa with less intermediate proteins and more mature nucleoproteins of P2 family than swim-up spermatozoa. CONCLUSION: Percoll may offer advantages in terms of the quality of the selected spermatozoa that may influence the outcome of assisted conception techniques.

Noncovalent interactions in maintaining the native structure of low density lipoprotein.

The integrity and the surface charge distribution of native low density lipoprotein (LDL) are prerequisites of its binding to the LDL receptor. Oxidation is one of the most important physiological effects resulting in an altered structure and metabolism of LDL. To reveal forces responsible for maintaining the intact structure of LDL in the absence of cells we have determined the kinetics of lipid peroxidation, changes in electrophoretic mobilities and size distributions of LDL samples as a function of Cu++ induced oxidative modification in a cell-free system at two different (50 mM and 150 mM) ionic strengths by electrophoretic and dynamic light scattering. Our data show that the lipid peroxidation is almost complete before LDL is degraded at 50 mM while a slight extent of lipid peroxidation is enough to result in the same effect at 150 mM. These suggest that both ionic and hydrophobic interactions are necessary to maintain the integrity of the LDL molecule.
