Abstract:
A protocol was developed for pellet-freezing spermatozoa of the tammar wallaby and the brushtail possum. Seren was collected by electro-ejaculation and wallaby spermatozoa were washed by 'swim-up' into phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), whereas possum spermatozoa were not washed. Wallaby spermatozoa were screened for toxicity in diluents containing a range of cryoprotectants (0-10%): dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethylene glycol and propanediol. Possum spermatozoa were tolerant of diluents containing 17.5% glycerol. Wallaby and possum spermatozoa were diluted 1:1 with the most promising cryoprotective diluents (final concentrations in PBS: possum, 17.5% glycerol; wallaby, 7.5% glycerol + 10% DMSO) and, after 5 min equilibration at room temperature, were pellet-frozen. Pellets were thawed (35 degrees C) and wallaby spermatozoa were washed by centrifugation (200 g for 5 min) and resuspended in PBS to minimize cryoprotectant toxicity. A high proportion of possum spermatozoa was recovered after freezing (67.5%), having good progressive motility (3.6 on a 0-5 scale). The progressive motility of frozen-thawed wallaby spermatozoa was also high (3.0), but only 10% of motile spermatozoa were recovered. The pellet-freezing method in conjunction with the post-thaw washing procedure (wallaby) may produce a viable population of cryopreserved marsupial spermatozoa suitable for use in assisted-breeding techniques such as in vitro fertilization and artificial insemination.

Abstract:
The objectives were to assess the following in a marsupial: which proteins are synthesized by the different regions of the epididymis and secreted into the lumen of the ductus; the effect of the experimental method on the detection of protein secretion; the role of the testis in regulating the protein synthesis and secretion; and whether any of the secreted proteins may associate with spermatozoa. Samples from untreated animals were collected for examination by perfusing Krebs-bicarbonate through the ductus epididymidis in vivo (microperfusion), and after incorporation of [35S]methionine during incubation of minced duct in vitro. Electrophoresis of the samples showed that the caput and corpus epididymidis (initial segments) secreted most of the proteins that were synthesized and secreted by the epididymal mucosa, and that the cauda epididymidis secreted mainly blood proteins. Also, many more proteins were secreted in vitro than into the microperfusates in vivo, or were found by Jones (1987) in micropuncture samples of epididymal plasma. The synthesis and secretion of five proteins was androgen dependent (M(r) 75,700, 30,000, 18,700, 17,400 and 12,800). Also, the luminal fluids from the testis stimulated the secretion of two proteins (M(r) 46,300 and 36,100) and inhibited the secretion of three proteins (M(r) 43,000, 32,300 and 21,400). Examination of detergent extracts of spermatozoa indicated that they lose three proteins (M(r) 28,000, 30,000 and 47,000) and gain one (M(r) 30,400) during passage through the epididymis. The method of determining protein secretion affected the findings. Protein secretion, its control and its association with spermatozoa are broadly similar in the tammar wallaby to the processes described in eutherian mammals.

Abstract:
The distribution of spermatozoa and seminal plug in the reproductive tract and the timing of ovulation were examined at various times in a naturally mated monovular macropodid marsupial, namely the tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii). After the first post partum (p.p.) mating, 28 females were isolated and their reproductive tracts dissected at 0.5, 6, 18, 36 and 40 h post coitum (p.c.). Each tract was ligated into 13 major anatomical sections and spermatozoa and eggs were recovered by flushing. Mating was possibly delayed by handling and occurred 21.7 ± 2.5 h p.p. in these animals. Copulation lasted 7.8 ± 0.7 min. Within 0.5 h after a single mating, the tract contained 25.8 ± 10.2 × 106 spermatozoa and 21.6 ± 8.8 g of seminal plug, 96% and 70% of which was lost within 6 h p.c. respectively. Spermatozoa reached the uterus, isthmus and ampulla of the oviduct on the side of the developing follicle within 0.5, 6 and 18 h p.c., respectively, and a uterine population of 26.1 ± 12.103 spermatozoa was maintained for over 40 h. Sperm numbers were reduced at the cervix (up to 57-fold) and uterotubule junction (eight-fold) and only one in approximately 7500 ejaculated spermatozoa (3.4 ± 0.9 × 103) reached the oviduct on the follicle side. Differential transport of spermatozoa was not observed. Although the numbers of spermatozoa were reduced in the parturient uterus, they were highly variable and were not significantly different to those in the non-parturient uterus. Ovulation and recovery of sperm-covered eggs from the isthmus occurred 36–41 h p.c. (49–72 h p.p.). In contrast with the polyovular dasyurid and didelphid marsupials, the tammar wallaby ejaculates large numbers of spermatozoa, but transport is relatively inefficient and sperm storage in the tract before ovulation is limited.

Abstract:
The spermatozoa of most marsupials lack nuclear stabilising disulfide-bonded protamines found in eutherian mammals. However, disulfide stabilisation has been observed in the acrosome of macropodid (Macropus eugenii) and phalangerid (Trichosurus vulpecula) marsupials. As a result this organelle, which is normally fragile in eutherian mammals, is robust and able to withstand physical and chemical challenge in these marsupials. The present study examined acrosomal characteristics of the spermatozoa of three dasyurid marsupials; the fat-tailed dunnart (Sminthopsis crassicaudata), eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus) and northern quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus). In all species examined Bryan’s staining demonstrated that significant acrosomal loss occurred following physical challenge with osmotic stress, cryopreservation without cryoprotectant and exposure to detergent (Triton-X). Bromobimane staining indicated that the acrosomes of dasyurids lacked stabilising disulfide bonds. As reported for the wallaby and possum, calcium ionophore (A23187) did not induce the acrosome reaction-like exocytosis in dasyurid spermatozoa but treatment with diacylglycerol (DiC8) caused significant acrosome loss at concentrations similar to those effective for other marsupials. The present study found that the spermatozoa of dasyurids are more sensitive to physical challenge than the previously-studied marsupials and we suggest that this is due to the absence of acrosomal stabilising disulfide bonds.

Abstract:
In the tammar wallaby, transport down the oviduct takes less than 24 h after fertilization and a mucoid coat is deposited within a few hours of fertilization, with excess spermatozoa trapped in the mucoid layer. The mucin coat thickens as the zygote passes down the oviduct. A proteinaceous shell is laid down outside the mucin coat in the utero-tubal region of the tract. The fertilized zygote enters the uterus in the pronuclear stage with cleavage proceeding in the uterus. In vivo, the first cleavage takes place two days post coitum (p.c.) (approximately 24 h after ovulation) but the next three cleavage stages may be completed within 24 h (between 48 h and 72 h p.c.). Thus, cell-doubling time appears to be around 8 h for 2-8-cell stages. Cleavage in vitro can occur with, or without, the shell membrane. Cleavage in early embryos of the tammar in vitro is slower than that occurring in vivo, and in vitro there may be a '4-cell block' in early development, as in dasyurids. The pattern of cleavage differs markedly from that of dasyurid marsupials in that there is no extrusion of yolk material from the cells and no separation of the blastomeres during the first cleavage stages to the 8-cell stage. The blastomeres are characterized by numerous vesicular structures and lipid droplets, but no yolk bodies. Polarity is not marked in early cleavage, but by the 8-cell stage polarity has developed with surface microvilli and numerous granular vesicles and mitochondria in the cortical regions at one pole of the cells, but sparse microvilli on the inner surfaces and at the other pole. There are complex intervillous interdigitations of microvilli between cells. However, clear identification of cells as pluriblast or trophoblast cells is not possible up to the 8-cell stage examined. These results demonstrate that this macropodid marsupial has a distinctive pattern of early development which differs from that of Didelphis and of the dasyurid marsupials so far described.
