Differential RNAs in the sperm cells of asthenozoospermic patients

ABSTRACT: Alterations in the presence of sperm RNAs have been identified using microarrays in teratozoospermic (abnormal morphology) or other types of infertile patients. However, so far no studies had been reported on the sperm RNA content using microarrays in asthenozoospermic patients (low motility). We started the present project to with the goal to characterize the RNA expression in asthenozoospermic infertile patients as compared to normozoospermic fertile controls. We selected four normal fertile donors and four severe asthenozoospermic infertile patients. Equal amounts of RNA were extracted from the sperm samples, subjected to different quality controls and hybridized to the Affymetrix U133 Plus version 2 arrays.

<h4>Background</h4>Alterations in RNAs present in sperm have been identified using microarrays in teratozoospermic patients and in other types of infertile patients. However, so far, there have been no reports on using microarrays to determine the RNA content of sperm from asthenozoospermic patients.<h4>Methods</h4>We started the present project with the goal of characterizing the RNA abundance in the sperm cells of asthenozoospermic patients when compared with controls. To reach this objective, ...[more]

Transcription profiling by array of human sperm from normospermic and teratozoospermic individuals

Project description:Normal human spermatogenesis concludes with the formation of large numbers of morphologically well developed spermatozoa. While transcriptionally quiescent these cells carry an RNA payload that reflects the final spermiogenic phase of transcription. We report here the spermatozoal transcript profiles characteristic of normally fertile individuals and infertile males suffering from a consistent and severe teratozoospermia in which under 4% of spermatozoa are morphologically normal. RNA was extracted from the purified sperm cells of ejaculate and hybridized to Affymetrix U133 (v2) Microarrays. Spermatozoal RNAs were prepared from the semen samples of 21 individuals. An asymmetric dual block design was adopted with biological replicates in both blocks. 13 semen samples were assessed from normally fertile males who had fathered at least one child. 8 semen samples were assessed from infertile individuals with a severe and consistent heterogeneous teratozoospermia who showed no other abnormal semen parameters.

Ejaculate samples for male infertility screening

Project description:The problem of the male reproductive system has both medical and social importance. It is highlighted that spermatozoa or seminal plasma are suitable samples for proteomic analysis of the male reproductive system. We suggested that the ejaculate could serve as one of the analytic specimens to determine fertility, which obtainable with relative ease and which contains many proteins. Moreover, the testis-specific proteins could form the basis of protein panel for detecting disorders associated with male infertility. The current study aimed to examine the ejaculate proteome compared to the spermatozoa and seminal plasma proteomes to determine a panel of proteins that can be used to assess sperm quality. Our results showed that the ejaculate represented a productive source for understanding the male reproductive physiology and could serve as a potential origin for the identification of novel protein biomarkers related to spermatozoa function in infertile. We believe that proteomic analysis based on testis-specific proteins of ejaculate along with spermatozoa (or even instead) can be useful for distinguishing the fertile, sub fertile, and infertile men.

Intra-sample heterogeneity of sperm DNA methylation

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of 2 distinct subpopulations of sperm within a single ejaculate. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs. Samples were provided by 20 normozoospermic individuals. A density gradient centrifugation was performed on each samples to yeild two distict populations for each ejaculate (one from the 90% isolate layer high quality sperm and one from the 35% isolate layer low quality sperm of the column). Bisulphite converted DNA from the 40 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip

Systematic characterization of seminal plasma piRNAs as molecular biomarkers for male infertility

Project description:Although piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) play pivotal roles in spermatogenesis, little is known about piRNAs in the seminal plasma of infertile males. In this study, we systematically investigated the profiles of seminal plasma piRNAs in infertile males to identify piRNAs that are altered during infertility and evaluate their diagnostic value. Seminal plasma samples were obtained from 211 infertile patients (asthenozoospermia and azoospermia) and 91 fertile controls. High-throughput sequencing technology was employed to screen piRNA profiles in seminal plasma samples pooled from healthy controls and infertile patients. The results identified 61 markedly altered piRNAs in the infertile patient groups compared with the control group. Next, a quantitative RT-PCR assay was conducted in the training and validation sets to measure and confirm the concentrations of altered piRNAs. The results identified a panel of 5 piRNAs that were significantly decreased in the seminal plasma of infertile patients compared with healthy controls. The areas under the ROC curves for these piRNAs ranged from 0.796 to 0.996, suggesting that the diagnostic potential of these 5 piRNAs to distinguish asthenozoospermic and azoospermic individuals from healthy controls was high. In summary, this study identifies a panel of piRNAs that can accurately distinguish fertile from infertile males. This finding may provide pathophysiological clues that are involved in the development of infertility. Fresh samples were collected and stored at -80â??.Total RNA of seminal plasma were extracted and solexa sequencing was performed.

The role of HnrnpF/H as a driver of Oligoteratozoospermia

Project description:Male subfertility or infertility is a common condition often characterized by men producing a low number of sperm with poor quality. To gain insight into this condition, we performed a quantitative proteomic analysis of semen samples obtained from infertile and fertile men.

Transcription profiling of of human epididymal gene expression in the caput epididymides of infertile and fertile patients

Project description:Caput epididymides biopsies from 4 patients suffering from non-obstructive azoospermia and from 4 patients with active spermatogenesis were compared. 414 genes in the caput epididymides were differentially regulated in infertile men by at least a 2-fold change as compared to the fertile men. Experiment Overall Design: Comparative caput epididymal gene expression from 4 patients with either active spermatogenesis (reference samples) or non-obstructive azoospermia. On each array, infertile tissue were compared to fertile tissue. Whenever the fertile tissues were labeled with cyanine 5 (see samples entitled "Patients 1 and 2" and "Patients 7 and 8"), the fluorescence ratios were swapped. Data was normalized using a locally weighted regression Lowess method and genes were considered differentially expressed in infertile sample versus fertile sample if there was at least a 2-fold change in 3 patients out of 4.
