摘要
Poor semen quality and infertility/subfertility are more frequent in crossbred than zebu bulls. Using a high-throughput liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based approach, we established the preliminary metabolomic profile of crossbred and zebu bull spermatozoa (n=3 bulls each) and identified changes in sperm metabolomics between the two groups. In all, 1732 and 1240 metabolites were detected in zebu and crossbred bull spermatozoa respectively. After excluding exogenous metabolites, 115 and 87 metabolites were found to be unique to zebu and crossbred bull spermatozoa respectively whereas 71 metabolites were common to both. In the normalised data, 49 metabolites were found to be differentially expressed between zebu and crossbred bull spermatozoa. The significantly enriched (P<0.05) pathways in spermatozoa were taurine and hypotaurine metabolism (observed metabolites taurine and hypotaurine) in zebu and glycerophospholipid metabolism (observed metabolites phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine) in crossbred bulls. The abundance of nitroprusside (variable importance in projection (VIP) score >1.5) was downregulated, whereas that of l-cysteine, acetyl coenzyme A and 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-diphosphate (VIP scores >1.0) was upregulated in crossbred bull spermatozoa. In conclusion, this study established the metabolomic profile of zebu and crossbred bull spermatozoa and suggests that aberrations in taurine, hypotaurine and glycerophospholipid metabolism may be associated with the higher incidence of infertility/subfertility in crossbred bulls.
