Abstract

During sperm cryopxation, sperm damage occurs due to osmotic stress, which entails deviations into the DNA and deformation of the tail of a sperm. To minimize destructive changes in cells, antioxidants or cryoprotective media supplemented with nutrient components are used. Numerous studies have established that the use of mesenchymal stem cells and their secret increases the percentage of viable and mobile sperm. Also, many of the soluble secretory factors of mesenchymal stem cells can be in extracellular vesicles and act as mediators of many paracrine actions of mesenchymal stem cells. They play the role of vehicles to displace unwanted cellular proteins, but the data of different authors demonstrated their potential role in many biological processes, including contribution to cell regeneration, survival and change in the phenotype of reici cells. The attachment or internalization of microseusiculi in target cells causes a wide range of epigenetic and phenotypic changes in recipient cells, such as a change in the viability of recipient cells, their adhesive properties and sensitivity or resistance to certain environmental factors. Spermeatozoa using microseusicals can be considered as an effective biological approach to maintaining and improving the quality of sperm, in the future, it can improve their viability and progressive mobility after cryopenservation. The wide therapeutic effect of mesenchymal stem cells and biologically active substances secreted by them requires further research to include sperm freezing in the protocols in order to overcome existing restrictions related to their use, and to clarify the exact mechanisms of their action. Further experiments, in particular in vivo, are necessary to confirm the actual clinical effects of these chemicals on the fertilizing ability of a spermatozoa. Thus, in this review, the issue of conducted studies in the field of use of mesenchymal stem cells and the substances they secrete during cryoponservation of animal sperm was covered.
