Social status and ejaculate investment in the house mouse c4pr_liv

ABSTRACT: Sperm competition theory predicts that males should tailor ejaculates according to their social status. Here we test this in a model vertebrate, the house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus), combining experimental data with a quantitative proteomics analysis of seminal fluid composition. Our analyses reveal that both sperm production and the relative production of proteins found in seminal fluid differ according to social dominance. Notably, whereas dominant males produce and ejaculate more sperm, subordinate males produce greater relative amounts of key proteins used in the formation of copulatory plugs. These findings have important implications for understanding the dynamics and outcome of sperm competition.

Mouse Seminal Vesicle Preparations C4PR_LIV

Project description:Ejaculates contain a diverse mixture of sperm and seminal fluid proteins, the combination of which is crucial to male reproductive success under competitive conditions. Males should therefore tailor the production of different ejaculate components according to their social environment, with particular sensitivity to cues of sperm competition risk (i.e. how likely it is that females will mate promiscuously). Here we test this hypothesis using an established vertebrate model system, the house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus), combining experimental data with a quantitative proteomics analysis of seminal fluid composition. Our study tests for the first time how both sperm and seminal fluid components of the ejaculate are tailored to the social environment.

Dietary sugar shifts mitochondrial metabolism and small RNA biogenesis in sperm

Project description:It is known that exogenous factors influences sperm quality and function, such as toxins, exercise, diet and smoking. Still, the moleuclar mechanisms of this is not understood. Here, we set out to determine how a dietary insult of different sugar levels in the diet affects Drosophila sperm proteome, by dissecting out seminal vesicles containing mature sperm from adult flies. These flies have been on a dietary intervention of two days on a sugar diet of 3, 30 or 300 g/L of sugar. Whole seminal vesicles were then used for mass spectometry to increase our understanding of how an acute dietary intervention may change sperm proteomics.

Mating and sperm free seminal plasma changes gene expression in the oviductal sperm reservoirs of sows

Project description:Sperms being foreign to the female are to be promptly eliminated by the female local immune defense. However, avoiding the local immune defense sperm can be stored for lenthy period in the oviductal sperm reservoir. It is currently unknown whether oviductal sperm reservoirs changes their gene expression to tolerate the spermatozoa after mating or sperm free seminal plasma infusion. Therefore this was tested using Swedish Landrace pigs in this study using cDNA microarray. We used 12 sows seperated into three groups- either oestrus sows were inseminated with 50 ml BTS (control, n=4) or mated with boars (treatment 1, n=4) or inseminated with sperm-free seminal plasma (treatment 2, n=4). The utero-tubal junction was retrieved within 24 h of treatment by operation.

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.

Proteomic dissection of the impact of environmental exposures on mouse seminal vesicle function

Project description:The seminal vesicles are an integral part of the male accessory gland system, and are responsible for producing a complex array of bioactive moieties that support gamete function and promote reproductive success. However, despite their physiological significance, the biology of the seminal vesicles remains poorly defined. Here, we exploit an established reproductive toxicant model, where mice were administered acrylamide (25 mg/kg bw/day) or control each morning for 5 consecutive days prior to collecting seminal vesicle tissue 72 h following the final injection, to complete the first proteomic assessment of mouse seminal vesicles. A total of 5,013 proteins were identified in the core seminal vesicle proteome with bioinformatics analysis of identifying cell proliferation, transcript/protein production and cellular death and survival pathways as prominent biological processes. Comparison of our acrylamide to control seminal vesicle proteome revealed 311 differentially regulated (-1.5 ≤ FC ≥ 1.5, p ≤ 0.05, 205 up-regulated, 106 down-regulated) proteins with immunoblotting analysis confirming proteomic data. Pathways that initiate protein synthesis to promote cellular survival were prominent amongst the dysregulated cellular pathways and RICTOR (Z-score = -3.64, p = 6.69E-07) was a top-ranked upstream driver. Oxidative stress was implicated as a contributor to protein changes with acrylamide leading to a significant increase in 8-OHdG in epithelial cells (5-fold increase, p = 0.016). Direct effects of acrylamide on seminal vesicle function were observed through a reduction in seminal vesicle secretion weight and overall protein content. Together these finding support the emerging concept that in addition to sperm, paternal exposures exert significant influence on the seminal vesicles, and identify new pathways to develop targeted interventions with which to manipulate fertility and reproductive outcomes.

Differential proteomics of human seminal fluid Normo Vs Astehnozoospermia

Project description:Scarcely understood defects lead to asthenozoospermia which results in poor fertility outcomes. Incomplete knowledge of these defects hinders the development of new therapies and reliance on interventional therapies, such as in vitro fertilization, increases. Sperm cells, being transcriptionally and translationally silent, necessitate the proteomic approach to study the sperm funnction. We have performed a differential proteomics analysis of human sperm and seminal fluid and identified over 1,700 proteins. We have included 667 proteins in sperm and 430 proteins in seminal plasma dataset for further analysis. Statistical and mathematical analysis combined with pathway analysis and self organizing maps clustering and correlation was performed on the dataset. It was found that sperm proteomic signature combined with statistical analysis as opposed to the seminal plasma proteomic signature can differentiate the normozoospermic versus the asthenozoospermic sperm samples.
