Metabolomic analysis of seminal fluids in oligoasthenospermia individuals

ABSTRACT:

In this study, we systematically characterized the metabolic signatures of oligoasthenospermia individuals and health controls using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Additionally, we performed functional validation of specific differential metabolites in terms of their roles in enhancing sperm vitality and providing cryoprotection. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the metabolomic signatures of seminal plasma in men with oligoasthenospermia, identify novel markers and for diagnosing and ART treating, and to provide effective strategies for improving sperm motility during in vitro manipulation in cases of oligoasthenospermia, which facilitating a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying male factor infertility and the protective mechanisms of sperm damage.

High resolution human sperm proteome LC-MSMS

Project description:The aim of this study was to achieve a higher resolution of the human sperm proteome for better understanding of the molecular causes of male infertility. For this purpose, we examined the proteomic profiles of sperm from 76 men for proteins with deregulated abundances. Infertile men had abnormal semen parameters and were involuntarily childless. Men in the cohort with normal fertility had normozoospermia and had fathered children without medical assistance. Mass spectrometry analysis led to an in-depth reconstruction of the human sperm proteome. The corresponding genes were mainly involved in cellular motility, response to stimuli, adhesion, and reproduction. We also observed increasing numbers of at least three-fold differentially abundant sperm proteins from oligozoospermia and oligoasthenozoospermia to oligoasthenoteratozoospermia, compared with normozoospermia. Primarily, flagellar assembly and sperm motility, sperm-egg interaction, and male gametogenesis were affected. This suggests that sperm of infertile men carry signatures of impaired sperm production and are functionally impaired. Not least, we present new male infertility markers in addition to established ones.

Sperm DNA Methylation Epimutation Biomarkers for Male Infertility and FSH Therapeutic Responsiveness

Project description:Male factor infertility is increasing and recognized as playing a key role in reproductive health and disease. The current primary diagnostic approach is to assess sperm quality associated with reduced sperm number and motility, which has been historically of limited success in separating fertile from infertile males. The current study was designed to develop a molecular analysis to identify male infertility using genome wide alterations in sperm DNA methylation. A signature of differential DNA methylation regions (DMRs) was identified to be associated with male infertility patients. A promising therapeutic treatment of male infertility is the use of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) analogs which improved sperm numbers and motility in a sub-population of infertility patients. The current study also identified genome-wide DMRs that were associated with the patients that were responsive to FSH therapy versus those that were non-responsive.

The whole transcriptome analysis for seminal plasma extracellular vesicles (SPEVs) of Yorkshire boars

Project description:The seminal plasma contains large quantities of extracellular vesicles (EVs). However, the role of these EVs and their interactions with sperms are not clear. To identify the important molecules affecting sperm motility in EVs, we sequenced the EVs in the seminal plasma of Yorkshire boars with different sperm motility using whole RNA sequence.

Higher Incidence of Embryonic Defects in Mouse Offspring Conceived with Assisted Reproduction from Fathers with Sperm Epimutations

Project description:Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) account for 1-6% of live births in developed countries. While most children conceived using ART are healthy, increases in birth and genomic imprinting defects have been reported; such abnormal outcomes have been attributed to underlying parental infertility and/or the ART used. Here, we assessed whether paternal genetic and lifestyle factors, that are associated with male infertility and affect the sperm epigenome, can influence ART outcomes. We examined how paternal factors, Dnmt3L haploinsufficiency and/or diet-induced obesity, in combination with ART (superovulation, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and embryo transfer), could adversely influence embryo development and DNA methylation patterning in mice. While male mice fed high-fat diets (HFD) gained weight and showed perturbed metabolic health, their sperm DNA methylation was minimally affected by the diet. In contrast, Dnmt3L haploinsufficiency induced a marked loss of DNA methylation in sperm; notably, regions affected were associated with neurodevelopmental pathways and enriched in young retrotransposons, sequences that can have functional consequences in the next generation. Following ART, placental imprinted gene methylation and growth parameters were impacted by one or both paternal factors. For the embryos conceived by natural conception, the abnormality rates were similar for WT and Dnmt3L+/- fathers. In contrast, paternal Dnmt3L+/- genotype, as compared to WT fathers, resulted in a 3-fold increase in the incidence of morphological abnormalities in embryos generated by ART. Together, the results indicate that embryonic morphological and epigenetic defects associated with ART may be exacerbated in offspring conceived by fathers with sperm epimutations.

Label-Free Quantitative Proteomics of Stallion Seminal Plasma Reveals Oxidative Stress–Associated Protein Signatures Linked to Sperm Motility and Viability

Project description:Seminal plasma proteins play critical roles in sperm function, motility, viability and oxidative stress regulation in stallions. In this study, label-free quantitative (LFQ) proteomics was applied to characterize seminal plasma protein signatures associated with sperm quality in Arabian stallions. Semen samples were classified into High-CASA and Low-CASA groups based on computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) parameters. LC–MS/MS analysis identified 817 seminal plasma proteins, of which differentially abundant proteins were associated with sperm motility, viability, mitochondrial activity and DNA fragmentation. Integrated bioinformatic analyses, including differential abundance analysis, protein–phenotype correlations, Gene Ontology enrichment and STRING network analysis, revealed oxidative stress–associated proteomic remodeling linked to sperm functional status. The dataset provides insight into seminal plasma molecular mechanisms associated with stallion reproductive performance.

Multiple reproductive tract-specific whey acidic protein four-disulfide core genes demonstrate functional requirement for sperm differentiation and function in mice

Project description:Our research defines the pivotal roles of the WFDC locus genes in male fertility, particularly in the regulation of sperm development and function. By employing CRISPR/Cas9 mediated gene editing strategy to study this gene family, we provided robust genetic evidence confirming their interconnected functions, which are crucial for sperm differentiation and maturation. Disruptions within these genes can result in infertility, highlighting their regulatory significance. These findings substantiate the potential of targeting EPPIN and related genes for male contraceptive development. Moreover, our study suggests that mutations in the WFDC locus could be instrumental in diagnosing and treating idiopathic male infertility, thereby presenting new therapeutic prospects for reproductive health.

A research and new understanding for autoimmune sterility from seminal plasma proteomics

Project description:The global infertility rate has been increasing annually, and male infertility becoming severe. The proportion of idiopathic infertility is high, with most patients with ambiguous clinical symptoms. These symptoms manifested as declining semen quality, and the effects of autoimmune factors on this measure of fertility cannot be ignored. Aside from anti-sperm antibody for autoimmune infertility, detection indexes for male infertility are lacking. We successfully collected seminal fluid via electric stimulation from an experimental model of autoimmune orchitis in rats. We used the most advanced isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitative proteomics analysis to analyze the seminal plasma of autoimmune infertility.
