Methods Slides containing sperm and gel were first treated in weak alkaline lysis buffer of p H10 for 1 h, sperm nuclei were treated with 10 mmol / L dithiothreitol for 1 h and 10 μg / ml RNase for 4 h, 2 0 0 μg / ml Proteinase K for 15 h. Sperm nuclei were stained with 15 μg / ml EB for 5 min. The percentage of comet cells was counted and the damage of H2O2 on the DNA of normal spermatozoa cells in vitro was observed by sperm SCGE assay established in this laboratory. Results The percentage of spermatids in 8 tested comets was 2% ~ 38%. There were significant differences among different individuals. Sperm cells incubated in 1.0 mmol / L H 2 O 2 PBS for 0.5 ~ 4 h, the percentage of comet cells increased significantly, and there is a clear trend of time-effect. Sperm cells were incubated for 1 h in 0.1250-1.00 mmol / L H 2 O 2 PBS, the percentage of comet cells increased significantly, and there was a significant dose-effect relationship. Conclusion SCGE can be used to detect DNA strand breaks in human spermatozoa cells. Using this method, human sperm DNA damage induced by H2O2 can be successfully detected.
