Evaluation of sperm proteins in infertile men: a proteomic approach.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, the sperm protein profile was compared between fertile and infertile men using 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis, liquid chromatography mass spectrometer analysis, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry. Four unique proteins, semenogelin II precursor, prolactin-induced protein, clusterin isoform 1, and prostate-specific antigen isoform 1 preproprotein, were predominantly present in the semen of healthy men; however, semenogelin II precursor and clusterin isoform 1 were not seen in the semen of infertile men, suggesting unique differences in the spermatozoa protein profiles of fertile and infertile men.

P-41: Evaluation of CAPZA3 Expression in Infertile Individuals Undergoing Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
Background: CAPZA3 is one of the actin-capping proteins believed to be play an important role in controlling of actin polymerization during spermiogenesis and has been shown to be peresent in mature sperm. Immunohistochemistry showed that human CAPZA3 is localized in the neck region of ejaculated sperm, with moderate and faint signals also detected in the tail and post-acrosome region respectiv...

Background One of the main causes of male infertility is defect in structure and function of sperm cells. Infertile men with oligoasthenoteratospermia (OAT) defect, have sperms with abnormalities in count, motility and morphology. Patients with immotile short tail sperm (ISTS) disorder have immotile short-tailed sperm with disorganized axonem, and a significant decrease in sperm counts. Numerou...
متن کاملSpermatozoa protein alterations in infertile men with bilateral varicocele
Among infertile men, a diagnosis of unilateral varicocele is made in 90% of varicocele cases and bilateral in the remaining varicocele cases. However, there are reports of under-diagnosis of bilateral varicocele among infertile men and that its prevalence is greater than 10%. In this prospective study, we aimed to examine the differentially expressed proteins (DEP) extracted from spermatozoa ce...
متن کاملMajor protein alterations in spermatozoa from infertile men with unilateral varicocele
BACKGROUND The etiology of varicocele, a common cause of male factor infertility, remains unclear. Proteomic changes responsible for the underlying pathology of unilateral varicocele have not been evaluated. The objective of this prospective study was to employ proteomic techniques and bioinformatic tools to identify and analyze proteins of interest in infertile men with unilateral varicocele. ...

Backgroundm: Post-acrosomal sheath WW domain binding protein (PAWP) is one of the proteins that is expressed during spermatogenesis process and has several roles in sperm differentiation, fertilization, and early embryonic development. The aim of this study was assessment of the relationship between PAWP expression with fertilization rate in infertile men candidate for intracytoplasmic sperm...
