Abstract: The study aimed to understand the morphological changes of testicular tissue and responding gene profile of male rabbits in heat stress environment to reveal the mechanism of heat stress of the decline of semen quality of male rabbits. In this study, six 8-month-old New Zealand male rabbits with the same feeding level and similar body condition and weight were selected. By establishing a heat stress model, 3 rabbits in the heat stress group (August, HS) and 3 rabbits in the non-heat stress group (May, NHS) were obtained. The testis and semen of the two groups were collected, respectively. HE staining was used to compare the differences in testicular tissue structure under different conditions, and Illumina Hiseq high-throughput sequencing technology was used to analyze the transcriptome sequencing of sperm. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes between the two groups of samples were performed by bioinformatics methods, and the transcriptome sequencing data were verified by RT-qPCR method. The results of testicular tissue sections of male rabbits showed that, compared with the NHS group, the central part in testis of the HS group showed obvious vacuolization and tearing, the spermatogenic epithelium was thinner, the damage was significant, and the number of sperm cells decreased. With |log2FoldChange| > 1 and P < 0.05 as the threshold, a total of 1 676 differentially expressed genes related to sperm heat stress response were screened, including ATP5MC1, MDH2, ALDH7A1, GAPDHS, PRPS1, etc. Among them, 894 genes were up-regulated and 782 genes were down-regulated. GO analysis result showed that differentially expressed genes was enriched in stress response, protein metabolic process, catalytic activity and other related items, and KEGG result showed that differentially expressed genes was enriched in MAPK, PI3K-AkT, Toll-like receptor, Ras and other signaling pathways. RT-qPCR verified the expression levels of ATP5MC1, MDH2, PRPS1, ALDH7A1 and GAPDHS, which were consistent with the trend of transcriptome results. In summary, heat stress can regulate the expression of spermatogenesis-related genes and affect related signaling pathways and biological functions. The results of this study provide clues for the molecular regulation mechanism of spermato-genesis and provide a theoretical basis for the breeding of rabbits under high temperature environment.

近年来,随着气候的变暖,高温对畜牧业发展的影响已成为全球关注的热点[1]。适宜的温湿度、优良的饲养环境是家畜健康生长,高效生产的重要保障。热应激(heat stress,HS)指动物机体对生长环境温度升高产生的一系列非特异性防御应答的总和[2]。全球气候变暖,机体暴露在极高温度下会导致热应激的发生[3]。热应激会导致公畜精子数量、密度、畸形率等的改变,造成公畜繁殖性能的下降,甚至会出现不育的现象[4]。热应激对猪生长发育危害严重,导致种公猪睾丸退化、交配欲减退,甚至丧失生育能力[5-7],母猪初情期延迟,发情期变短,无法正常排卵,受胎率下降[8]。热应激状态下,奶牛免疫机能下降,身体能量处于负平衡状态,采食量下降、产奶量和乳制品产量均会下降[9-11]。热应激严重影响了家畜的健康、生长和繁殖性能。

家兔是恒温动物,功能性汗腺较少,在高温下,呼吸频率增加、采食量下降、体内代谢紊乱,导致生产性能下降[12]。高温条件下暴露3 h,公兔体内活性氧(ROS)、热休克蛋白(HSP)生成异常,睾丸微环境发生改变,染色质构像和DNA甲基化改变,阻碍了精子的生成,精子功能遭到破坏[13]。环境温度高于18 ℃,公兔不育发生率会显著增加[14]。研究发现,公兔精子在38~40 ℃下孵育3 h,受精率从98%下降至96%,胚胎存活率更是从59%下降到了34%[15]。热应激还会通过线粒体途径导致DNA损伤,导致DNA修复相关基因表达降低[16-18]。动物发生热应激时,体内线粒体凋亡、生殖细胞死亡-受体凋亡、AMPK等通路均会受到影响,进而影响精子的生成和发育[19-21]

为了进一步了解家兔热应激发生的分子机制,本研究分析了种公兔在热应激和未热应激条件下的睾丸组织形态差异,并采用RNA-Seq技术筛选了不同状态下精子的差异表达基因,以探究热应激对种公兔精子发生的影响,为种公兔耐热性状的选育提供理论基础。

1 材料与方法 1.1 试验动物

课题组前期选取具有相同饲养水平,体况和体重相近的20只新西兰白兔种公兔作为试验对象。通过计算温湿度指数(THI),记录了5月和8月温湿度,将5月份定义为未热应激组(non-heat stressed, NHS),8月份定义为热应激组(heat stressed, HS)[22]。采精时间为2021年5月1~20日和8月1~20日。每组随机选取3只种公兔,将采集的精液用于转录组分析。此外,用丙泊酚加塞拉嗪麻醉后,剖开腹腔取出睾丸,用于后期组织切片的制作。

1.2 睾丸组织切片的制作及HE染色

种公兔睾丸组织在PBS中清洗3次,加入4%多聚甲醛溶液固定24 h,滤纸吸净多聚甲醛溶液,将组织依次放入由低到高浓度的酒精中脱水,然后通过二甲苯透明和石蜡包埋,将组织块固定在切片机上,切取5~7 μm的组织,温水展片,载玻片捞取,60 ℃烘箱烘干备用。

采用二甲苯去除睾丸切片中残存的石蜡,再将制作好的睾丸切片依次放入由高到低浓度的酒精中,轻轻甩掉切片上多余的水分,苏木素中浸染5 min,再用水漂洗数秒,1%盐酸乙醇处理组织切片10 s,蒸馏水下冲洗后,用0.6%氨水使组织切片返蓝,再用伊红染色液染色2 min,染色后切片经过无水乙醇脱水、二甲苯透明等过程,滴上树胶、盖上盖玻片封片,用显微镜观察卵巢形态结构。

1.3 转录组(RNA-Seq)测序分析

使用总RNA提取试剂盒(天根生化科技(北京)有限公司)提取6只新西兰种公兔精子总RNA。总RNA经纯化后检测其完整性和浓度。检测合格后,合成cDNA并构建文库。基于Illumina HiSeq测序平台,对文库进行测序,回收测序数据。对原始下机数据进行过滤,将得到的Reads比对到参考基因组上,使用FPKM标准化对热应激组和未热应激组样本进行基因表达量分析。建库及测序委托上海派森诺生物科技股份有限公司完成。

3 讨论

家兔汗腺不发达,大多通过呼吸和耳垂来进行散热。热应激会引起动物机体多种生理反应,对动物福利产生负面影响,并显著降低繁殖性能[23-25]。在热应激下,动物机体抗氧化能力下降,活性氧(ROS)增加,发生氧化应激反应,精子的DNA和运动能力均会受到影响,最终导致精液品质的下降[26-28]。热应激对睾丸功能有负面影响,能抑制睾丸激素的分泌,导致精子质量和生育能力的下降[29]。家兔的最佳环境温度范围为15~25 ℃,最佳湿度为55%~65%,当环境温度高于35 ℃时,家兔不能调节体温,易产生热应激[30]。种公兔比母兔对高温更加敏感,高温抑制了下丘脑促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)的合成和分泌,显著影响睾丸的功能并导致精液品质的下降[31]。种公兔的繁殖效率在生产中极为重要[32],因此具有高品质的精液是实现高生育能力和提高经济效益所必需的。

本试验采集了HS组和NHS组新西兰种公兔睾丸和精液,通过HE染色,比较不同条件下睾丸组织结构的差异,并利用RNA-Seq技术分析了精子的转录组,通过分析比较共发现1 676个差异基因,其中差异上调基因894个,差异下调基因782个。进一步对差异基因进行筛选、功能注释和富集分析发现,GO富集分析在代谢过程中的差异基因有843个,其中包括ATP5MC1、MDH2、PRPS1、ALDH7A1和GAPDHS等。ALDH7A1蛋白也称遗蛋白,RNA-Seq分析方法鉴定经过急性热应激处理的黄羽肉鸡肝脏中的差异表达基因,发现ALDH7A1基因参与丙酮酸代谢,并且在赖氨酸的分解代谢中也发挥了重要作用[33],赖氨酸是一种必需氨基酸,其代谢对维持细胞氮库和酮体的形成具有重要意义[34]。据研究表明,ALDH7A1可通过甜菜碱醛生成渗透物甜菜碱来防止哺乳动物受到高渗应激方面的影响[35]。在哺乳动物中,GAPDHS是一种精子特异性糖酵解酶,是精子中唯一的GAPDH同工酶,可调节精子的运动,是精子活力和男性生育能力所必需的。研究表明,缺乏GAPDHS的小鼠无法生育,产生的精子ATP水平非常低且缺乏运动能力[36-38]。MDH2是一种柠檬酸循环酶,可催化苹果酸转化为草酰乙酸,并通过将草酰乙酸还原成苹果酸和苹果酸共同穿过线粒体内膜参加糖异生过程。MDH2位于精子线粒体内,为精子尾部运动提供所需的能量[39-41]MDH2的异常表达会破坏精子内部能量平衡,影响精子的活力、获能过程以及降低生育能力[42]。研究发现,MDH2的敲除显著降低了细胞的ATP水平,同时提高了ADP/ATP和NAD/NADH的水平以及细胞内ROS的浓度[43]。从GO富集分析看来,ALDH7A1、GAPDHSMDH2等基因可能与热应激状态下公兔精液品质下降有关。

此外,通过对差异表达基因的KEGG富集分析发现,与热应激相关的主要有MAPK、PI3K-Akt、Toll样受体、Ras等信号通路。在热应激中,MAPK通路被激活,可防止HS诱导的细胞凋亡[44],MAPK通路参与调节细胞的生存、增殖和分化等过程,这在保护细胞免受热损伤中起着关键作用。PI3K-Akt通路是参与细胞生长、存活和代谢的重要通路之一,陈威[45]发现,抑制睾丸中PI3K/Akt/FoxO1信号通路,凋亡因子Caspase-3被激活,进而导致睾丸组织细胞凋亡。睾丸支持细胞(SCs)是促使睾丸产生正常精子的重要细胞之一,PI3K/Akt信号通路可以通过调节激素水平来调控精子发生[46]。因此,推测热应激与MAPK、PI3K-Akt等信号通路密切相关,影响种公兔精子的发生。

综上,HS的机制可能涉及ATP5MC1、MDH2、PRPS1、ALDH7A1和GAPDHS等多个基因,也可能通过MAPK、PI3K-Akt这些信号通路来调控细胞的生长、增殖和凋亡。通过了解热应激反应的分子机制,确定新的靶点,可以有效地预防热应激带来的疾病和危害。

4 结论

本研究对新西兰种公兔精子热应激组和未热应激组进行转录组分析,检测差异表达基因及相关信号通路,共筛选出1 676个差异表达基因(上调基因894个,下调基因782个),发现SIRT1、PHGDHMDH2、ATP5MC1、PRPS1、ALDH7A1等5个可能与热应激状态下公兔精液品质下降有关的潜在基因,本研究结果为高温环境下家兔的选育提供理论基础,对养兔业的持续健康发展具有重要意义。
