Proteomic comparison between 11 LAA and 11 NC sperm samples identified 35 upregulated and 99 downregulated proteins in the LAA group. Indeed, proteomic data showed that acrosome enzymes Spam1 and Acrosin were among the downregulated proteins in the LAA group, which was validated by quantitative PCR and immunefluorescent staining of sperm cells. The KEEG pathway analysis revealed a deficiency of GSH and Gln biosynthesis in LAA sperm cells. Immunofluorescent staining of sperms and quantitative PCR verified downregulation of GLUL and GCLC, the key enzymes for GSH and Gln biosynthesis. Moreover, the results of ELISA assay confirmed low levels of GSH and Gln in LAA sperm cells. Mechanistic studies showed that addition of 10 mM H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> to semen samples led to a significant reduction of acrosin activity and sperm motility, most possibly by triggering premature acrosome release. In contrast, the presence of 20 mM GSH blocked the oxidative effects of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. Since GSH counteracts the oxidative stress and Gln participates in TCA cycling, their deficiency may affect the redox balance as well as energy production of sperm cells.

Echinoderms, in particular starfish, are known for their outstanding regenerating potential. Differently, humans have restricted abilities to restore organ systems being dependent on limited sources of stem cells. In particular, the potential to regenerate the central nervous system is extremely limited, explaining the lack of natural mechanisms that could overcome the development of neurodegenerative diseases and the occurrence of trauma. Therefore, understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of regeneration in starfish could help the development of new therapeutic approaches in humans. In this study, we tackle the problem of starfish central nervous system regeneration by examining the external and internal anatomical and behavioral traits, the dynamics of coelomocyte populations, and neuronal tissue architecture after radial nerve cord (RNC) partial ablation. We noticed that the removal of part of RNC generated several anatomic anomalies and induced behavioral modifications (injured arm could not be used anymore to lead the starfish movement). Those alterations seem to be related to defense mechanisms and protection of the wound. In particular, histology showed that tissue patterns during regeneration resemble those described in holothurians and in starfish arm tip regeneration. Flow cytometry coupled with imaging flow cytometry unveiled a new coelomocyte population during the late phase of the regeneration process. Morphotypes of these and previously characterized coelomocyte populations were described based on IFC data.
