The development of diagnostic techniques in andrology as a second level of approach to the diagnosis of male factor infertility has enthused the focus of researchers on the development of a sequential diagnostic programme for these men. Semen samples of 78 men form couples undergoing in vitro fertilisation therapy were used in the study. The semen samples were used to test sperm functional aspects known to interfere with fertilisation. These tests included semen profile, DNA integrity, apoptosis, chromatin packaging, acridin orange staining, zona binding capacity, zona-induced acrosome reaction (AR). Results were correlated with fertilisation outcome. Statistical analyses of the recorded data were carried out using a logistic regression analysis model on all sperm functional tests. A negative and significant association with the fertilisation rates was recorded for DNA damage (r = -0.56; P ≤ 0.0005). A positive significant correlation was recorded between fertilisation rates and sperm with normal DNA (r = -0.57, P ≤ 0.0004), and zona-induced AR (r = 0.33, P ≤ 0.002). Diagnostic andrology can be regarded as a mandatory part of the male factor patient's work-up schedule to assist clinicians with the most suitable therapeutic modality to follow. 相似文献

Our study objective was to assess the effect of various sperm DNA fragmentation levels on clinical intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcome. This retrospective study included 392 patients who underwent ICSI and performed sperm DNA fragmentation testing before the procedure. Based on sperm DNA fragmentation cut-off values, the patients were differentiated into 3 groups as <20%, 20%–30% and >30%. According to the female status, patients were differentiated into favourable group (n = 259) with female age <35 years and anti-Mullerian hormone level ≥7.1 pmol/L; and unfavourable group (n = 133) with female age ≥35 years and anti-Mullerian hormone level ≤7.1 pmol/L. The patient's medical records were reviewed, and patient's demographic, laboratory data including semen analysis, sperm DNA fragmentation determined by means of sperm chromatin dispersion, hormonal profile and data regarding intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycle were collected. This cohort reported that the clinical reproductive outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection showed no statistical significance with increase sperm DNA fragmentation levels. In sperm DNA fragmentation above 30%, favourable females had significantly higher clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate than unfavourable females, while fertilisation rate and miscarriage rate showed no significance between the subgroups. High sperm DNA fragmentation is linked to poor semen parameters. 相似文献

In the human, male ageing results in reproductive hormonal and cellular changes that can influence semen quality (volume, motility, concentration and morphology) and ultimately result in a reduced fertilising capacity and a longer 'time to pregnancy' for ageing men as well as an increased risk for miscarriage. This prospective cohort study of 278 patients undergoing a first in vitro fertilisation or intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment was undertaken to examine whether patient's age was reflected in sperm motility, concentration, morphology as well as in DNA fragmentation (DFI) and immature chromatin (unprocessed nuclear proteins and/or poorly condensed chromatin) as measured by the sperm chromatin structure assay. This study also investigated the possible influence of male age (after correcting for female age) on their fertilising capacity, on obtaining a pregnancy and a healthy baby at home. Logistic regression analysis did not reveal any male age-related influences on sperm parameters like concentration, motility or morphology. No significant male age-related increase in DFI or immature chromatin was demonstrable for these patients. Elevated male age, after correcting for female age, was not related to lower fertilisation rates or significant decreases in the chance for a healthy baby at home. 相似文献

Sperm preparation techniques in assisted reproduction technologies (ART) are potential generators of exogenous stresses that cause additional DNA damage. DNA fragmentation tests, such as the sperm chromatin structure assay, involve freezing sperm samples in the absence of cryoprotectant. Thermal, oxidative stress (OS) and freezing are detrimental to sperm DNA fragmentation and phosphatidylserine (PS) translocation. The primary aim of this study was to subject mature sperm to environmental insults that normally occur during ART. We tested the hypotheses that OS, thermal stress and freeze‐thawing caused sperm nuclear and membrane damage and that a positive correlation exists between PS translocation and DNA fragmentation. Sperm DNA integrity deteriorates in semen samples from men with advancing age and a sperm concentration of <15 m ml?1. The significant increase in sperm DNA fragmentation at 37 °C after merely 1 h is important clinically as semen liquefaction and short‐term sperm storage in an ART cycle involve incubating samples at this temperature. Freezing without a cryoprotectant significantly increases the level of sperm nuclear damage, so it is important not to freeze neat semen prior to DNA fragmentation testing. This study highlights the importance of minimising the production of exogenous stresses during sperm preparation in ART. 相似文献

Among the factors involved in male infertility, there is a rare morphology disorder called "globozoospermia" that is classified into total globozoospermia and partial globozoospermia (type I and type II, respectively). This syndrome is primarily characterised by the presence of round-headed spermatozoa with cytoskeleton defects around the nucleus and no acrosome. Current data support the negative correlation between globozoospermia and conventional intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes, revealing the need for the management of patients undergoing assisted reproduction technology (ART) through more effective treatment techniques. This review highlights the most important characteristics of globozoospermia such as sperm parameters, DNA/chromatin integrity and sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF), as well as genetic features based on the latest knowledge. Additionally, we looked into current progress on fertilisation potential and possible treatment strategies for patients presenting with globozoospermia. 相似文献

Globozoospermia is a severe sperm morphological anomaly leading to primary infertility and low fertilisation following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). This phenotype is observed in less than 0.1% of infertile men and is determined by small, round‐headed spermatozoa with absence of an acrosomal cap, acrosome protease and also cytoskeletal proteins. Failure of oocyte activation is considered as the main cause of fertilisation failure in these individuals post‐ICSI. Therefore, artificial oocyte activation (AOA) along with ICSI is commonly implemented. However, based on previous report, fertilisation rate remains low despite implementation of ICSI‐AOA. Therefore, other mechanisms like sperm chromatin packaging and DNA fragmentation may account for low fertilisation and development post‐ICSI‐AOA. Therefore, this study aims to assess and compare the degree of sperm protamine deficiency and DNA fragmentation in large population of infertile men with total globozoospermia (30 globozoospermic men presenting with 100% round‐headed spermatozoa) with 22 fertile individuals using chromomycin A3 and TUNEL assay respectively. Results clearly show that mean of sperm concentration and percentage of sperm motility were significantly lower, while percentage of sperm abnormal morphology, protamine‐deficient and DNA‐fragmented spermatozoa were significantly higher in infertile men with globozoospermia compared to fertile men. Therefore, increased sperm DNA damage in globozoospermia is likely related to defective DNA compaction and antioxidant therapy before ICSI‐AOA could be recommended as an appropriate option before ICSI‐AOA. 相似文献

This study was conducted to investigate the possible effects of nanomicelle curcumin (NMC) on spermatogenesis, sperm parameters and in vitro fertilisation potential. For this purpose, 24 mature male Wistar rats were divided into control and test groups. The animals in test groups received 7.5, 15 and 30 mg kg b.w?1 of NMC (NO = 6 rats in each group). Following 48 days, the DNA integrity of testicular tissues, tubular differentiation (TDI) and spermiogenesis (SPI) indices, sperm parameters and DNA integrity were analysed. Finally, the in vitro fertilisation potential was investigated via evaluating pre‐implantation embryo generation. The NMC diminished the TDI and SPI ratios. The animals in NMC‐received groups exhibited a remarkable (p < .05) reduction in percentage of alive and motile spermatozoa. Moreover, the NMC enhanced the percentage of spermatozoa with decondensed chromatin and elevated the sperm DNA damage ratio. The testicles of NMC‐received groups exhibited severe DNA fragmentation. The percentages of zygote, 2‐cell, blastocysts and hatched embryos generation were decreased in NMC‐received groups compared to control animals. In conclusion, the NMC adversely affects the spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis processes, which in turn results in reducing the sperm quality. Ultimately, decreased sperm quality results in lower pre‐implantation embryo development. 相似文献

Alcohol intake and cigarette smoking are the major lifestyle factors with negative impact on fertility. We were interested to evaluate the negative impact of these factors on oxidative stress (OS), enzymatic antioxidant activity (EAO) of spermatozoa and on its DNA damage. This study included 108 male infertile patients with normal range of sperm conventional parameters but with unexplained infertility in assisted reproductive technologies programme. Firstly, OS was analysed based on lipid peroxidation (MDA) and EAO which included catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione reductase (GR). Secondly, we evaluated DNA fragmentation by TUNEL assay and chromatin decondensation by aniline blue colouration. The whole lot was divided into four groups: control (nonalcoholic and nonsmoker patients), alcohol group, smoking group and alcohol‐smoking group. The results showed, in three last groups compared to control an increased CAT, SOD and GR activities with high MDA level especially in smoking and alcohol‐smoking group. The latter showed the highest values of DNA fragmentation and chromatin decondensation (31% and 39%) to exceed DNA damage normal range. Indeed, smoking and alcohol intake lead to increase EAO due to long‐term unbalanced antioxidant/oxidation ratio with high OS which cause consequently sperm DNA damage calling in need by urgency to change the lifestyle behaviour. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to explore sperm chromosomal aneuploidy and DNA integrity in infertile patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Semensamples were collected from 12 infertile menwith SCI by percutaneous vasal sperm aspiration (PVSA) and from 14 male SCI patients by penile vibratory stimulation (PVS). These semen samples as well as samples from 16 donors were analyzed using the hypo-osmotic swelling (HOS) test, the sperm chromatin dispersion test, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated terminal uridine nick-end labeling assay, and multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization with probes specific for the chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, and Y. There were significant differences in the percentages of motile sperm, normal morphologic sperm, normal HOS/eosin staining, and sperm DNA fragmentation between the infertile men with SCI and the control group (P < .05 and P < .01). The sperm forward motility was significantly greater in the PVSA group than in the PVS group (P < .01). The number of round cells per milliliter of semen obtained from the 14 SCI patients by PVS was between 1 million and 12 million. The rate of sperm DNA fragmentation, as identified by the sperm chromatin dispersion test, was higher in the PVS group than in the PVSA group (P < .05). The aneuploidy rates for the SCI patients were 1.5- to 1.6-fold higher for chromosomes 13, 18, and 21, and were 2.3- to 2.4-fold higher for chromosomes X and Y than for patients in the control group (P < .001). These results suggest that for men with SCI, the semen quality is poorer, the prevalence of abnormal HOS/eosin staining is greater, and sperm DNA fragmentation and sperm chromosomal aneuploidies are seen at a higher rate compared with healthy, fertile, and normospermic men. 相似文献

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification of the genome. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of cigarette‐smoking on sperm DNA methylation from a genomewide survey of sperm samples and to ascertain its effect on sperm parameters. Twenty‐eight sperm DNA samples (from 14 fertile smokers as a case study and 14 proven fertile nonsmokers as controls) were subjected to Infinium 450K BeadChip arrays to identify the changes in the DNA methylation level between the two groups. Then, deep bisulphite sequencing was used to validate five CpGs on 78 samples. The results from the Infinium 450K found that only 11 CpGs showed a significant difference in DNA methylation between the case and the control groups. Five CpGs of the eleven (cg00648582, cg0932376, cg19169023, cg23841288 and cg27391564) underwent deep bisulphite sequencing where cg00648582, related to the PGAM5 gene, and the cg23841288 CpGs, related to the PTPRN2 gene amplicons, showed a significant increase in their DNA methylation level in more than one CpG in the case group. In contrast, a significant decrease was found at cg19169023 and at its various neighbouring CpGs in the TYRO3 gene‐related amplicons. Furthermore, this study demonstrated a significant correlation between the variation in sperm DNA methylation level and standard sperm parameters in the case group. 相似文献

Increasing evidence shows a relationship between epigenetic regulation and male infertility. The GTF2A1L gene promoter contains the DNA methylation site of a tissue-specific differentially methylated region (TDMR). Eighty-six patients with non-obstructive azoospermia were assessed for the DNA methylation state of CpG islands in the GTF2AIL promoter using testicular genomic DNA. Based on histological criteria, 26 of the 86 patients had normal spermatogenesis (controls), 17 had hypospermatogenesis and 26 had a Sertoli cell-only phenotype or tubular sclerosis. GTF2AIL TDMR methylation was significantly lower in testes DNA from control samples than from hypospermatogenic samples (P=0.029). Patients with hypospermatogenesis were divided into two subgroups: high DNA methylation (HM, n=5) and low DNA methylation (LM, n= 12). The GTF2AIL TDMR methylation rate differed significantly between the HM and LM groups (P=0.0019), and GTF2A 1L expression was significantly higher among the LM than in the HM patients (P=0.023). High TDMR methylation was correlated with low GTF2AIL gene expression levels. Both groups demonstrated relatively good outcomes with respect to sperm retrieval, fertilisation, pregnancy and childbirth rates. We observed that aberrant GTF2AIL gene expression was not correlated with fertilisation rates. The testicular sperm extraction (TESE) technique may be used to overcome male infertility due to aberrant TDMR methvlation. 相似文献

Background: Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) is a chronic tubulointerstitial nephropathy present in the Danube river regions in several Balkan countries. There appears to be a polygenic susceptibility to the disease in interaction with multiple environmental factors (aristolochic acid, ochratoxin A). In a previous study SEC61G, IL17RA, HDAC11 proved to be differently methylated throughout all patient-control pairs of BEN patients from Serbia and Bulgaria. Emerging connections between DNA methylation and histone acetylation prompted the present study on histone acetylation in patients with BEN. Methods: The study involved 39 patients with BEN, and 39 controls collected from non-endemic regions in Serbia. The EpiSeeker Histone H3 and H4 Total Acetylation Detection colorimetric Kits and specific acetylated at lysine 18 H3K18 and H3K36 acetylated at lysine 36 detection kits were used. Results: It was documented that total H4 histone acetylation level was increased significantly, while total H3 histone acetylation did not differ significantly. Specific histone structure and functional properties may be affected by the observed derangement of H3 histone acetylation pattern, since H3K36 site was significantly more acetylated, while H3K18 tended to be less acetylated than in control subjects. Multiple regression analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between H4, H3T and H3K36 in BEN patients. Conclusion: This preliminary study suggests that the acetylation of histone lysine residues was detectable and found increased at specific sites of H3 and total H4 histones isolated from urothelial cells of patients with BEN. Having in mind a possible mechanism and biological role of epigenetic chromatin modification in urothelial tumor development they obtained results may open opportunity for selective therapeutic interventions in patients with BEN. 相似文献

Chemotherapy is often associated with male infertility. Our aim was to determine the effect of chemotherapy on sperm chromatin quality in cancer survivors. Sixteen men with advanced testicular cancer and 15 with Hodgkin lymphoma requiring chemotherapy were compared with 11 community volunteers. Eleven idiopathic infertile men with abnormal sperm chromatin were included as a positive control group. Semen analysis and sperm chromatin quality were determined prechemotherapy and at 6, 18, and 24 months posttreatment. DNA damage was determined by the sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA). The level of DNA compaction was assayed by determining high DNA stainability (HDS, SCSA), the percentage of free thiols (monobromobimane-labeling assay), and the level of protamination (chromomycin A3-labeling assay). Sperm concentration and motility were dramatically decreased in cancer patients 6-18 months after chemotherapy compared with community volunteers but were not statistically different from community volunteers at 24 months posttreatment. High levels of DNA damage were observed prechemotherapy, with a tendency to remain high during the 24-month posttreatment period in testicular cancer patients; low DNA compaction (HDS, SCSA) persisted in testicular cancer patients 24 months postchemotherapy. Low levels of sperm DNA compaction were observed in cancer patients compared with community volunteers and infertile men. Sperm monobromobimane and chromomycin A3 labeling in cancer patients were similar to those from community volunteers by 18 months after treatment. Chemotherapy-induced damage to components of the sperm chromatin structure was repaired differentially over time. However, significant sperm DNA damage and low DNA compaction remained up to 24 months posttreatment. The assessment of complementary aspects of sperm chromatin quality is necessary to evaluate sperm samples in cancer survivors. 相似文献

This experiment documented the incidence and variability of sperm characteristics found in freshly collected and ex vivo-manipulated semen samples from a population of disease-free captive koalas with a special emphasis on the dynamic aspects of DNA fragmentation. These changes were analyzed in light of the putative negative effect of iatrogenic damage after chilled storage and cryopreservation with respect to different semen extender compositions to maximize sperm longevity. Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) dynamics (SDF assessment after a varying period of time) was investigated with the sperm chromatin dispersion assay after either dilution in tris-citrate media and chilled preservation at 4°C for upward of 16 days or cryopreservation in either glycerol or dimethylacetamide (DMA) tris-citrate-based cryoprotectant media; corresponding data on progressive sperm motility, plasma membrane integrity, and the proportion of koala sperm with relaxed chromatin were also recorded. SDF analysis of the captive koala population revealed a low mean (±SEM) basal level of only 6.7% ± 0.9%. The percentage of progressive sperm motility, percentage of intact sperm plasma membranes, and the percentage of relaxed chromatin did not correlate significantly with that of basal SDF. Moreover, despite the absence of cysteine residues in marsupial protamines, koala spermatozoa showed remarkable stability in terms of their DNA integrity after the incubation of either fresh, chilled, or frozen-thawed semen samples; observations of progressive motility (P < .05) and plasma membrane integrity (P < .05) revealed that chilled koala spermatozoa declined after 4 days, whereas the incidence of relaxed chromatin increased after 8 days. Although koala SDF increased significantly (P < .05) with the period of chilled storage, these values remained less than 16% after 16 days storage and subsequent incubation at 35°C for a further 48 hours. Survivorship of prefreeze sperm DNA damage was not different when compared with sperm frozen in DMA or between sperm frozen in DMA or glycerol; however, spermatozoa frozen in glycerol showed a higher (P = .042) rate of DNA fragmentation than prefreeze spermatozoa. This result differed from that of observations of progressive motility, plasma membrane integrity, and relaxed chromatin, which were all adversely affected (P < .05) after cryopreservation in either glycerol or DMA; however, the postthaw characteristics of sperm cryopreserved in either glycerol or DMA were not different. After thawing, koala sperm chromatin tended to decondense; however, the incidence of sperm DNA fragmentation was not correlated with the incidence of sperm chromatin relaxation after glycerol (R = .2) or DMA (R = -.04) cryopreservation. 相似文献

This study reports chromatin status and ICSI outcomes in a case of sperm macrocephaly syndrome(SMS), showing 100% of spermatozoa with abnormal morphology. Percentages of sperm DNA fragmentation for TUNEL (31.7% versus 6.5%), SCSA (33% versus 25%) assays, chromatin maturity tests, CMA3 (58% versus 29%) and aniline blue (63% versus 35%) staining were higher in case sample compared to the fertile sample. Artificial oocyte activation resulted in a similar fertilisation rate between case and control samples (71% versus 66.7%), but the case showed delayed embryo development on day 3 post-insemination. Unlike fertile case, no embryos reached the blastocyst stage. The result of this case study shows that macrocephaly is associated with reduced chromatin maturity and DNA integrity. Although both cases showed a similar chance for fertilisation through artificial chemical activation for only macrocephalic man, the developmental competency is jeopardised in such cases. 相似文献
