以伊红染色法检测样品精子存活率为依据,研究了4℃下5种保存液及Ca^2+、Mg^2+离子对中华绒螯蟹精子体外保存效果的影响。5种保存液分别为人工海水(ASW)、2倍钙离子人工海水(2×Ca^2+-一ASW)、无镁离子人工海水(Mg^2+-FASW)、无钾离子人工海水(K^+-FASW)、无钙离子人工海水(Ca^2+-FASW),经4天保存后,各保存液中精子样品的存活率和精子密度均出现明显差异,K^+-FASW、ASW及2×Ca^2+-ASW三种保存液中的精子因发生顶体反应而大量死亡,而Mg^2+-FASW、Ca^2+-FASW的保存效果较好。在此基础上,进一步探讨了不同Mg^2+和Ca^2+浓度对精子存活率的影响,结果发现,经24h保存后各实验组精子存活率均随着两种离子浓度的增加而明显下降。上述结果表明:K^+-FASW、ASW及2×CaH—ASW不适合精子保存,而Mg^2+-FASW和Ca^2+-FASW均可作为该蟹精子的保存液;Ca^2+因可引起精子顶体反应而造成保存液中精子的大量死亡,其浓度与存活率呈明显的负相关;无K^+的保存液中,Ca^2+、Mg^2+的存在与否对精子的保存效果起关键作用;无Mg^2+人工海水之所以具有较好的保存效果,可能与Mg^2+的缺乏而导致Ca^2+逆浓度差转运受阻,避免了因Ca^2+进入而诱发顶体反应有关。
The viability rate of in vitro sperms of Eriocheir sinensis preserved in five solutions at 4℃ was studied with eosin stain to evaluate the impact from metal ions. The five preservation solutions (Tab. 1) included artificial seawater (ASW), 2-fold calcium ion artificial seawater (2× Ca^2+-ASW), magnesium-free artificial seawater (Mg^2+-FASW), potassium-free artificial seawater (K^+-FASW) and calcium-free artificial seawater (Ca^2+-FASW). Results show that the sperms preserved in K^+-FASW, ASW, and 2 × Ca^2+-ASW were completely killed 4 days later because of acrosome reaction. However, most of the sperms in Mg^2+-FASW and Ca^2+-FASW remained alive in the same period. Therefore, Mg^2+-FASW and Ca^2+-FASW can be ideal solutions for preserving E.sinensis sperms in vitro, but K^+-FASW, ASW, and 2 × Ca^2+-ASW. Furthermore, the viability rate was also checked with different concentrations of Ca^2+ and Mg^2+. As the concentrations of Ca^2+ and Mg^2+ incremented, the viability rate dropped in 24 hour, indicating that Ca^2+ could lead to mass mortality of the sperms due to acrosome reaction. Inverse correlation was found between the viability rate and Ca^2+ concentration. Ca^2+ and Mg^2+ played a key role in e K^+-free preservation solutions. The good performance of Mg^2+-FASW is probably due to the prohibition of Ca^2+ transportation against the concentration difference, so that Ca^2+ was kept away from entering the sperms resulting in acrosome reaction.
