IGF-I and NGFβ enhance in vitro progressive motility and vitality of human spermatozoa

Purpose

Progressive motility (PM) and vitality are positively associated with fertilization ability of spermatozoa. Here, the effects of IGF-I and NGFβ on PM and vitality of human spermatozoa were investigated.

Methods

Forty-three volunteers gave semen samples after 2-3 days of sexual abstinence. Each sample was processed with density gradient centrifugation and sperm washing. The pellet was divided into 3 aliquots. An aliquot containing one million of progressively motile spermatozoa was incubated for an hour (37°C) in standard culture medium (control group), and two aliquots with the same number of progressively motile spermatozoa were incubated in medium supplemented with IGF-I or NGFβ. Two concentrations of IGF-I (100 ng/ml and 1000 ng/ml) and NGFβ (0,5 ng/ml and 5 ng/ml) were tested.

Results

Both growth factors significantly increased PM and vitality in comparison with control either at the low or the high concentration. IGF-I seemed to be more effective than NGFβ. The effects did not seem to be dose dependent with the exception of the effect of IGF-I on vitality.

Conclusions

The enhancement of PM and vitality of human spermatozoa by IGF-I and NGFβ opens new ways for the improvement of sperm processing. Further research is needed to determine the most effective concentrations.

pD2-, pA2- and pD2'-values of a series of compounds in a histaminic and a cholinergic system.

(1) Affinity and intrinsic activity values of 75 compounds for a histaminergic and a cholinergic system are presented. The quantitative correlations between the affinity values of 35 compounds and some physicochemical constants (Van der Waals volume, lipophilicity, number of hydrogen atoms on the protonated amine) are discussed. (2) Absence of systematic differences between pD2 and pA2 of partial agonists supports the assumption that these values are equivalent expressions of the same affinity. (3) The "mimetic moiety" in a number of the antihistaminic test compounds hardly contributes to their affinity. The affinity mainly depends on an interaction tendency with additional receptor areas. (4) The correlation between pA2 and pD2' of the whole series of compounds in the histaminergic system is artificial. The method only allows determination of both values if their ratio lies between certain limits. (5) The correlation between pA2 and pD2' for 16 closely related compounds in the guinea pig ileum and for nearly all compounds in the rat intestine has to be explained by an influence of the structural differences on drug transference and/or the less specific binding forces. (6) The metactoid receptors in the two systems are different structures. (7) Possible molecular modifications to maximize the separation of antihistaminic form cholinergic affinity are suggested.

治疗阿尔采末病的药物靶点:β-分泌酶

近年来的研究表明,β-淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)是老年斑的主要成分,有明显的神经细胞毒性作用,在阿尔采末病(AD)的发病过程中发挥了重要作用,因此降低脑中Aβ的生成量是治疗AD的策略。Aβ是由β-和γ-分泌酶裂解其前体蛋白(APP)而生成,其中β-分泌酶(BACE)是启动Aβ形成的关键限速酶,因此BACE是开发治疗AD药物的一个具有吸引力的作用靶点。该文就近来对β-分泌酶的研究作一综述。     

TGF-β和IGF表达异常与滋养层相关疾病关系的研究

目的:探讨转化生长因子(TGF-β)和胰岛素样生长因子(IGF)等与滋养层侵入调节密切相关的细胞因子在胎盘绒毛组织中的表达,及与葡萄胎、先兆子痫等滋养层细胞相关妊娠疾病病理机制的关系。方法:采用半定量逆转录多聚酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测方法,分别以正常早孕绒毛和正常足月(自然分娩或剖宫产)胎盘绒毛组织为对照,观察葡萄胎组织与先兆子痫足月胎盘绒毛组织中TGF-β和IGF的表达。结果:5种胎盘绒毛组织中均可检测到IGF-I mRNA的表达,且先兆子痫足月胎盘绒毛组织中IGF-I的表达量明显低于正常足月胎盘绒毛组织,而葡萄胎组织中IGF-I的表达略高于正常早孕绒毛。在3种足月胎盘绒毛组织中可检测到IGF-ⅡmRNA的表达,但相互之间无明显差异。葡萄胎组织中IGF-Ⅱ的表达低于早孕绒毛。5种胎盘绒毛组织中均有TGF-β3的表达,而TGF-β1和TGF-β2的表达并未检测到。在表达量上,葡萄胎组织中TGF-β3的表达明显高于正常早孕绒毛组织,先兆子痫胎盘绒毛组织中TGF-β3的表达强于足月自然分娩的正常胎盘绒毛组织,而剖宫产胎盘绒毛组织中,TGF-β3的表达亦相对较强。结论:TGF-β3和IGF-I在胎盘绒毛组织中的表达变化,可能和葡萄胎、先兆子痫等与滋养层密切相关的妊娠疾病的发生有关。
