https://www.selleckchem.com/products/d-luciferin.html High concentrations of cryoprotective agents (CPA) are required during articular cartilage cryopreservation but these CPAs can be toxic to chondrocytes. Reactive oxygen species have been linked to cell death due to oxidative stress. Addition of antioxidants has shown beneficial effects on chondrocyte survival and functions after cryopreservation. The objectives of this study were to investigate (1) oxidative stress experienced by chondrocytes and (2) the effect of antioxidants on cellular reactive oxygen species production during articular cartilage exposure to high concentrations of CPAs. Porcine cartilage dowels were exposed to a multi-CPA solution supplemented with either 0.1 mg/mL chondroitin sulfate or 2000 μM ascorbic acid, at 4 °C for 180 min (N = 7). Reactive oxygen species production was measured with 5 μM dihydroethidium, a fluorescent probe that targets reactive oxygen species. The cell viability was quantified with a dual cell membrane integrity stain containing 6.25 μM Syto 13 + 9 μM propidium iodide using confocal microscopy. Supplementation of CPA solutions with chondroitin sulfate or ascorbic acid resulted in significantly lower dihydroethidium counts (p less then 0.01), and a lower decrease in the percentage of viable cells (p less then 0.01) compared to the CPA-treated group without additives. These results indicated that reactive oxygen species production is induced when articular cartilage is exposed to high CPA concentrations, and correlated with the amount of dead cells. Both chondroitin sulfate and ascorbic acid treatments significantly reduced reactive oxygen species production and improved chondrocyte viability when articular cartilage was exposed to high concentrations of CPAs.Failure of cervical insemination with cryopreserved semen is hindering implementation of AI in sheep in field condition.
