Sperm Lactate Production Assay

Sperm lactate production was measured with a spectrophotometric assay that monitors the accumulation of NADH during the oxidation of lactate to pyruvate by lactate dehydrogenase (Pesce et al. 1975 (link); Danshina et al. 2001 (link)). Sperm were incubated for 2 hr using our standard conditions for capacitation, except that lactate and pyruvate were omitted from the HTF medium. Duplicate aliquots were removed at 0 and 2 hr to measure lactate accumulation in the medium. After sperm was removed by centrifugation, samples were added to the assay buffer (pH 9.0) containing 1 mM NAD+ and 10 U/mL lactate dehydrogenase from rabbit muscle (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and incubated for 2 hr at 25°. The concentration of lactate in the sample was proportional to the increase in absorbance at 340 nm, as NAD+ was reduced to NADH. Sperm in each sample were counted and lactate production (μmole/108 sperm) during the 2-hr incubation period was calculated.

Purified enzyme was subjected to kinetic analysis using an ATPase-coupled assay that monitors the reduction of NADH to NAD+ via decrease in absorbance at 340 nm.32 (link),41 ,42 Each reaction contained 20 mM HEPES (pH 7.2), 100 mM KCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 50–300 μM cytidine or uridine for UCK2, 50–8000 μM cytidine or uridine for UCK1, 100 μM – 10 mM 2’AzCd or 2’AzUd for UCK2, 1–40 mM 2’AzCd or 2’AzUd, 1 mM ATP, 250 μM NADH, 250 μM phosphoenolpyruvate, 0.5 U lactate dehydrogenase from rabbit muscle (Sigma Aldrich), 0.5 U pyruvate kinase from rabbit muscle (Sigma Aldrich), and 100 nM of purified UCK1 or UCK2 enzyme. Continuous measurements were taken at 340 nm in 150 μL fill volumes in 96-well UV-transparent plates (Corning), using a Spark Multimode microplate reader (Tecan). Kinetic constants were obtained through a nonlinear fit of the data using the Michaelis-Menten equation with Prism 8 GraphPad software.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
