LC-MS/MS analysis of Siberian sturgeon seminal plasma

ABSTRACT: The biology and physiology of Siberian sturgeon reproduction differ substantially from teleost fish. Seminal plasma support and protect the viability, motility and fertilizing capacity of spermatozoa by creating the optimal environment for the storage. The present study for the first time described in-depth proteomic characterization of Siberian sturgeon seminal plasma using gel based and gel-free proteomic approaches: LC-MS/MS, 2DE and 2D blue native (BN)/SDS-PAGE. LC-MS/MS allowed to identify 657 proteins, which were classified according to their functions and pathways. 2DE visualized 339 spots corresponding to 76 unique proteins (almost 60% were present in various proteoforms). For the first time we demonstrated interactions between seminal proteins; four (C1-C4) multiprotein complexes were identified after 2D BN/SDS-PAGE; composed of (C1) serotransferrin-2 (TF) and fish-egg lectin (FEL); (C2) serum albumin 2 (ALB) and retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4); (C3) ALB and TF (C3) and (C4) apolipoprotein A-I (APOA1), riboflavin-binding protein (RfBP) and myoglobin (MB). BN-SDS-PAGE also revealed that immunoglobulin and TF formed homomultimeric (dimer, trimer, tetramer and pentamer) complexes in seminal plasma. ALB, TF, Beta-Ala-His dipeptidase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, IGH, APOA1, hemopexin, type-4 ice-structuring protein, FEL, RfBP and glycogen phosphorylase, liver form-like were selected as major seminal plasma proteins. The functional analysis of identified proteins indicated their involvement mainly in immune system process and response to stimulus, metabolism, vesicle-mediated transport, proteolysis, and catherin binding involved in cell-cell adhesion. Moreover, 67 proteins were associated with reproductive processes, including spermatogenesis, fertilization, acrosomal reaction and sperm motility. Comparative proteomic analysis of sturgeon seminal plasma showed common proteins with fish and human and 150 proteins specific for sturgeon which may reflect the specificity of sturgeon reproduction. To conclude, this integrative proteomic view lead to deeper insight into physiological function of seminal plasma and processes occurred in sturgeon reproductive tract.

Project description:Background: The cryopreservation of semen is crucial for conserving genetic diversity and reproductive success in endangered species like the Siberian sturgeon. However, this process can cause cryodamage, affecting quality and protein profile of spermatozoa. While cryoprotectants like dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and methanol (MeOH) facilitate post-thaw motility recovery, DMSO-preserved spermatozoa exhibit reduced fertilizing ability. This study investigates how DMSO and MeOH impact the proteome of Siberian sturgeon spermatozoa and examines semen quality parameters. Two complementary approaches of quantitative proteomics, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and two-dimensional difference in gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE), were used to analyze the proteomic profiles of fresh and cryopreserved spermatozoa, as well as the extracellular medium (EM; n=7 for each group). Results: Cryopreservation led to a decline in motility parameters (MOT, VCL, PROG) and viability, along with an increase in ROS levels, membrane fluidity, and acrosome damage. Despite similar quality parameters between DMSO and MeOH-preserved sperm, DMSO-preserved sperm showed dramatically lower fertilization success (6.2% vs 51.2%). A total of 224 and 118 differentially abundant proteins in spermatozoa cryopreserved with MeOH and DMSO, respectively, were identified compared to fresh samples, with 342 and 363 proteins released into the EM. The most affected proteins by cryopreservation included H2A, CABYR, PYGM, ENO3, DBI and LTA4H. Additionally, 36 and 39 uniquely altered sperm-leakage proteins were identified for MeOH and DMSO cryopreserved samples, respectively. Bioinformatic analysis showed that MeOH-specific proteins were related to chromosomal structure and mitochondrial functionality, while DMSO-specific proteins were mainly involved in acrosome reaction, zona pellucida binding, flagella structure, and nuclear pore organization. These proteins are potentially involved in sturgeon sperm fertilizing ability. The expression of six proteins was verified by western blot analysis. Conclusions: This study provides the first comprehensive proteomic characterization of Siberian sturgeon spermatozoa after cryopreservation with DMSO and MeOH, revealing insights into proteomic changes that affect fertilizing ability and aiding conservation efforts for this endangered species.

Project description:Male factors account for approximately 40% of all infertility. Conventional semen analysis focus on seminal physicochemical property and spermatozoa morphology. They yield no information concerning the functional competence of the spermatozoa(Petrunkina et al., 2007). Owning to the essential role of proteins in the reproductive process, comprehensive and systematic identification of proteome is critical to gain new insights into spermatogenesis and infertility. Recent advances in mass spectrometry have allowed the identification of hundreds to thousands of protein in spermatozoa(Oliva et al., 2008; Amaral et al., 2014; Codina et al., 2015). In major domestic mammalian species, global spermatozoa proteomic profiles have been described in rodents(Baker et al., 2008a; Baker et al., 2008b) and bovine(Peddinti et al., 2008). Meanwhile, lacking of new protein synthesis in spermatozoa supports the current view that the regulation of sperm maturation is controlled by exogenous proteins(O'Rand et al., 2011) (e.g., during epididymal transit). Among the seminal plasma proteins, The human seminal plasma has been comprehensively described (Pilch and Mann, 2006; Batruch et al., 2011; Milardi et al., 2012; Milardi et al., 2013; Sharma et al., 2013). In domestic animal species, some studies performing a systematic analysis on using high throughput proteomics have been performed(Kelly et al., 2006; Moura et al., 2007; Souza et al., 2012; Druart et al., 2013; Soleilhavoup et al., 2014). Buffalos (Bubalus bubalis) are adapted to hot–humid tropical climatic conditions, but have low reproductive efficiency. The low sperm motility maybe contributed to protein components variation of spermatozoa and seminal plasma. The composition of buffalo spermatozoa and buffalo seminal plasma (BSP) remains unknown. Proteomic study would be beneficial to the elucidation of the roles of sperm and BSP proteins in regulation of maturation, motility and fertilization. As such, the aim of the current study was to extensively characterize the differentially expressed protein of buffalo spermatozoa and seminal plasma using a comparative proteomics.
