The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of Stat 3 and Akp2, markers of pluripotency in blastocysts (D7) and hatched<br />

blastocysts (D11) with seven and eleven days after in vitro fertilization. The oocytes were matured for 24 h in 5% CO2 in air, after they were<br />

fertilized and cultured in SOFaaci for seven and eleven days. The RNA of polls of seven embryos of each developmental stage was extracted<br />

with Rneasy Micro Kit (Qiagen) and reverse transcriptase IMPROM II (Promega, MA, USA) was used for the synthesis of complementary<br />

DNA (cDNA). The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed with the qPCR Master Mix Gotaq (Promega, MA, USA) using as<br />

endogenous control genes SDHA and YWHAZ (Goosens et al., 2005) with 130 and 180 base pairs respectively. For each gene was performed<br />

negative control in which cDNA was replaced by nuclease-free water. Were performed 10 repetitions with RNAs from different groups of<br />

embryos. For statistical analysis of data from 10 replicates was used the analysis of variance with a significance level of 5%. Stat 3 and Akp2 were<br />

expressed in blastocysts (D7) and hatched blastocysts (D11) exhibiting 130 and 80 bp respectively. From the results we concluded that Akp2<br />

and Stat 3 are present in embryos indifferenced, but also in the hatched blastocysts in which MCI has already become a fully differentiated<br />

epithelium, the hypoblast and epiblast (VEJLSTED et al., 2006).<br />

Analysis of DNA fragmentation from sperm has helped to identify men with infertility but showing spermiogram apparently<br />

normal. Regarding that some stallions do not show normal conception rate when considering frozen sperm, but have normal semen evalution.<br />

Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the relathionship betweens stallion fertility and the DNA fragmentation index or the tests<br />

routinely used in frozen semen analysis, such as: computer analysis of sperm movement (CASA), plasma membrane integrity and morphology N<br />

sperm. Thirteen animals of different breeds, nine animals Quarter horses, two Lusitano and two Brazilian Equestrian, were considered. From<br />

each animal, a pool of straws was thawed and used for the following analyses: sperm movement assessed by CASA, plasma membrane integrity<br />

assessed using the association of two fluorescent probes - carboxyfluorescein and propidium iodide (Harrison and Vickers, 1990, Journal of<br />

Reproduction and Fertility, 88: 343-52), morphology by Karras staining, and rate of DNA fragmentation assessed by the Acridine Orange test<br />

(Naves et al., 2004. Bioscience Journal, 20:117-124). Statistical analyses were performed by Pearson’s test for analysing the correlation between<br />

sperm parameters and fertility rates, with significance level P < 0.05. No correlation was found between sperm movement or morphology and<br />

fertility. On the other hand, plasma membrane integrity correlated positively(r = 0.8047, P = 0.0016) with fertility whereas the rate of DNA<br />

fragmentation correlated negatively (r = -0.78, P = 0.0025). In conclusion, the acridine orange test for evaluation of DNA fragmentation and the<br />

plasma membrane integrity using fluorescent probes showed strong relationship with fertility, and thus are useful for assessing quality of sperm<br />

frozen. [The authors thank FAPESP for financial support].<br />
