Seminal Plasma and Extracellular Vesicles of Aged Male Mouse affects Early embryo Implantation via immunomodulation


ABSTRACT: The seminal plasma (sp), especially the extracellular vesicles of seminal plasma (sEV) which change with age can affect the endometrial immune microenvironment of female mice. However, it is unclear whether the decline in fertility of reproductively old males is related to the alterations of the sp and sEV which may have compromised effect on the immune microenvironment of the female uterus. In this research, we found a decrease in the implantation rate of pseudo-pregnant female mice which was treated with sp from reproductively old male mice (aged-sp group) than sp from young male mice (young-sp group). RNA-sequence analysis revealed an increase in the expression level of local cytokines and chemokines in the uterus of aged-sp groups than those of young-sp groups. Further in vitro experiments found an induction of dendritic cells (DC) maturation in the aged-sp groups. After isolating and characterizing sEV in young and aged male mice, we perfused the uterus of aged-sp group with sEV from young male mice and found it could partially rescue the low implantation rate of the aged-sp group. Further in vitro experiments found an induction of DC maturation after treating with sEV from aged male mice than that from young male mice, which indicated an age-related activation effect of sp and sEV. In conclusion, we found sp and sEV from aged male mice could induce the maturation of DC, which compromised the microenvironment of female reproductive tract, therefore leading to a decrease in implantation rate.
