Project description:Using a combination of protein fractionation by one-dimensional gel electrophoresis and high performance liquid chromatography - electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry, we identified 348 proteins in carp spermatozoa, most of which were for the first time identified in fish. Dynein, tubulin, HSP90, HSP70, HSP60, adenosylhomocysteinase, NKEF-B, brain type creatine kinase, mitochondrial ATP synthase, and valosin containing enzyme represent high abundance proteins in carp spermatozoa. These proteins are functionally related to sperm motility and energy production as well as the protection of sperm against oxidative injury and stress. Moreover, carp sperm is equipped with functionally diverse proteins involved in signal transduction, transcription, translation, protein turnover and transport. About 15% of carp sperm proteins identified here were also detected in seminal plasma which may be a result of leakage from spermatozoa into seminal plasma, adsorption of seminal plasma proteins on spermatozoa surface, and expression in both spermatozoa and cells secreting seminal plasma proteins. The availability of a catalogue of carp sperm proteins provides substantial advances for an understanding of sperm function and for future development of molecular diagnostic tests of carp sperm quality, the evaluation of which is currently limited to certain parameters such as sperm count, morphology and motility or viability.

Project description:Cryopreservation induces differential remodeling of the proteome in mammalian spermatozoa. How these proteome changes relate with the loss of sperm function during cryopreservation remains unsolved. The present study attempted to clarify this issue evaluating differential changes in the proteome of pig spermatozoa retrieved from the cauda epididymis and the ejaculate, with clear differences in cryotolerance, comparing fresh and frozen-thawed cells. Sperm samples were collected from 10 healthy, sexually mature and fertile boars, and cryopreserved using a standard 0.5 mL straw protocol. Total and progressive motility, viability and mitochondria membrane potential were higher and membrane fluidity and reactive oxygen species generation lower in frozen-thawed (FT) cauda epididymal than ejaculated spermatozoa. Quantitative proteomics of fresh and FT sperm samples were analyzed using a LC-ESI-MS/MS-based SWATH approach. Cryopreservation quantitatively altered more proteins in ejaculated than cauda epididymal spermatozoa. Differential protein-protein networks highlighted a set of proteins directly involved in mitochondrial functionality among those quantitatively altered in ejaculated spermatozoa, which would explain the worse post-thaw quality of ejaculated pig spermatozoa.

Project description:Prediction of male or semen fertility potential remains a persistent challenge that has yet to be fully resolved. This work analyzed several in vitro parameters and proteome of spermatozoa in bulls cataloged as high (HF; n=5) and low field (LF; n=5) fertility after more than a thousand artificial inseminations. Sperm motility was evaluated by Computer-Assisted Sperm Analysis. Sperm viability, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and reactive oxygen species (mROS) of spermatozoa were assessed by flow cytometry. Proteome was evaluated by SWATH-MS procedure. Spermatozoa of HF bulls showed significantly higher total motility than the LF group (41.4% vs. 29.7%). Rates of healthy sperm (live, high MMP, and low mROS) for HF and LF bull groups were 49% and 43%, respectively (p > 0.05). Spermatozoa of HF bulls showed higher presence of differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) related to both energy production (COX7C), mainly OXPHOS pathway, and to the development of structures linked with the motility process (TPPP2, SSMEM1 and SPAG16). Furthermore, we observed that EQTN, together with other DAPs related to the interaction with the oocyte, were overrepresented in HF bull spermatozoa. The biological processes related to protein processing, catabolism, and protein folding were found to be overrepresented in LF bull sperm in which the HSP90AA1 chaperone was identified as the most DAP

Project description:Sperm motility is one of the most important determinants of male fertility. Elucidating the different expression proteins of nomal and asthenospermia spermatozoa should advance our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms. Tcte1 null mouse sperm reduced motility and failed to display the forward progressive motile. With tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling and mass spectrometry analysis， 3697 proteins were quantified from Widetype and Tcte1 deficient mouse spermatozoa. Of these proteins, 447 were found to be different expression proteins (DEPs), including 398 proteins down regulated (DDEPs, 89%) and only 49 proteins up regulated.

Project description:Our recent studies suggested that the freezability of carp semen is related to seminal plasma protein profiles. Here, we aimed to compare the spermatozoa proteomes of good (GF) and poor (PF) freezability semen of carp. To achieve this, we used two-dimensional difference in gel electrophoresis followed by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. The semen was classified as GF or PF based on sperm motility after freeze/thawing. We identified proteins enriched in spermatozoa of GF (22 proteins) and PF (18 proteins) semen. We also identified 12 proteins enriched in the supernatant after cryopreservation of PF semen. Good freezability is related to high concentrations of proteins involved in the maintenance of flagella structure, membrane fluidity, efficient control of Ca2+ and sperm motility, energy production, and antioxidative protection, which likely reflects the full maturation status of spermatozoa of GF semen. On the other hand poor freezability seems to be related to the presence of proteins identified as released in high quantities from cryopreserved sperm of PF. Thus, the identified proteins might be useful bioindicators of freezing resilience and could be used to screen carp males before cryopreservation, thus improve long-term sperm preservation in carp.

Project description:Malnad Gidda is one among the 43 registered cattle breeds of India with unique traits and spread over Western Ghats and coastal regions of Karnataka state in India. Selection of highly elite fertile bulls for the breeding purpose is a critical control point in animal breeding programmes. Therefore, to characterize the semen proteome and to understand the semen biology of this breed, a comprehensive proteomic analysis of spermatozoa and seminal plasma has been carried out by employing SCX and bRPLC fractionation strategies in a mass-spectrometry platform. The semen samples from three Malnad Gidda bulls maintained at Southern Regional Station of ICAR-NDRI under standard managemental conditions were used in the study. The proteomic characterisation of semen from Malnad Gidda breed resulted in the identification of 5, 84,520 PSMs, from 24,467 peptides from 2,815 proteins in spermatozoa and identification of 2, 77,583 PSMs from 12,047 peptides, which resulted in 1,974 proteins from seminal plasma. Out of 2,815 proteins in spermatozoa and 1,974 proteins from seminal plasma, 969 proteins were common to both seminal plasma and spermatozoa. The biological processes and cellular localization of spermatozoa proteins were studied using DAVID tool and were further enriched the identical GO terms using REVIGO online tool. The functional enrichment analysis of identified proteins indicated their roles in the biological processes like sperm motility, spermatid development, spermatogenesis, and so on. GO studies showed the commonalities and differences in the molecular functions of the proteins exclusively identified in spermatozoa, seminal plasma and common proteins. This is the first proteomic investigation conducted on the semen samples of an Indian indigenous breed; therefore, we believe that our preliminary data should significantly advance our understanding of semen proteome of Indian cattle.

Project description:BACKGROUND: In previous studies using candidate gene approaches, low sperm count (oligospermia) has been associated with altered sperm mRNA content and DNA methylation in both imprinted and non-imprinted genes. We performed a genome-wide analysis of sperm DNA methylation and mRNA content to test for associations with sperm function. METHODS AND RESULTS: Sperm DNA and mRNA were isolated from 21 men with a range of semen parameters presenting to a tertiary male reproductive health clinic. DNA methylation was measured with the Illumina Infinium array at 27,000 CpG loci. Unsupervised clustering of methylation data differentiated the 21 sperm samples by their motility values. Recursively partitioned mixture modeling (RPMM) of methylation data resulted in four distinct methylation profiles that were significantly associated with sperm motility (P=0.01). Linear models of microarray analysis (LIMMA) was performed based on motility and identified 9,189 CpG loci with significantly altered methylation (Q<0.05) in the low motility samples, with many loci located in genes associated with subfertility and epigenetic regulation. In the low motility samples, the majority of disrupted CpG loci (80%) were hypomethylated. Of the aberrantly methylated CpGs, 194 were associated with imprinted genes almost equally distributed into hypermethylated (predominantly paternally expressed) and hypomethylated (predominantly maternally expressed) groups. Sperm mRNA was measured with the Human Gene 1.0 ST Affymetrix GeneChip Array. LIMMA analysis based on motility identified 20 candidate transcripts as differentially expressed in low motility sperm, including HDAC1 (NCBI 3065), SIRT3 (NCBI 23410), and DNMT3A (NCBI 1788). Altered expression of these epigenetic regulatory genes was associated with RPMM DNA methylation class. CONCLUSIONS: Using integrative genome-wide approaches to study epigenetic and gene expression patterns in human sperm we identified CpG methylation profiles and mRNA alterations associated with low sperm motility, and that low motility sperm may have aberrant genome-wide hypomethylation due to excess HDAC1 activity.

Project description:Analysis of ejaculated spermatozoav from normozoospermic men and asthenozoospermic men. Some of genes were up-regulated or down-regulated in asthenozoospermia, and their abnormal expression were the causes of the impaired sperm motility. Results provide insight into the mechanisms by which asthenozoospermia is controlled. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression of ejaculated spermatozoa between normozoospermic and asthenozoospermic men and identified distinct classes of genes expressed differentially in two groups. The liquefied semen samples from normozoospermic and asthenozoospermic men were purified by Percoll on a discontinuous density gradients for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. 30 sperm samples of each group were pooled to abtain enough total RNA.

Project description:PKA signaling plays important functions during mouse spermatogenesis and for the regulation of sperm motility. The efficiency of PKA signaling is regulated partly by its binding protein A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP) family. Mature mouse sperm contain several AKAPs, of which AKAP3 and AKAP4 are localized in the principal piece of sperm tail and they are sperm-specific. Using gene knock-out mouse models, it was found that both AKAP3 and AKAP4 are essential for the formation of a complete fibrous sheath, the electron-dense sub-cellular structure within sperm flagellum that is important for the motility of sperm and male fertility. Lack of AKAP3 or AKAP4 caused aberrant sperm morphology and inmotility, leading to eventual male sterility. In the present study, we investigated the changes of cellular proteome in the absence of AKAP3 or AKAP4 in mature sperm, using quantitative mass spectrometry. It was found that global changes of sperm proteome occur in the absence of AKAP3 or AKAP4. In Akap3 null sperm, proteins related to flagella structure, PKA signaling and motility regulations are down-regulated, whereas proteins involved in RNA metabolism, protein translation and actin filaments formation are accumulated. Akap4 null sperm also displayed changes of sperm proteome at lesser extends. These results suggest that both AKAP3 and AKAP4 are essential for the formation of sperm sub-cellular structures, proper regulation of PKA activity and motility of sperm, providing new clues to elucidate the molecular pathways that underlie the coordinated synthesis and organization of sperm proteome and sperm morphology

Project description:Following their production in the testis, spermatozoa enter the epididymis to gain their motility and fertilizing abilities. This post-testicular maturation coincides with sperm epigenetic profile changes that influence the progeny outcome. While recent studies underscored the dynamics of small non-coding RNAs in the maturing spermatozoa, little is known regarding sperm methylation changes and their impact at the post-fertilization level. To map out the sperm methylome dynamics, we purified spermatozoa by FACS from the testis and the different epididymal segments (i.e. caput, corpus and cauda) of CAG/su9-DsRed2; Acr3-EGFP transgenic mice. Reduced-Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS-Seq) performed on DNA from these respective sperm populations indicated that high methylation changes were observed between spermatozoa from the caput vs. testis with 5546 entries meeting our threshold values (q value < 0.01, methylation difference above 25 %). Most of these changes were transitory during epididymal sperm maturation according to the low number of entries identified between spermatozoa from cauda vs. testis.
