Association between metabolic disorders and seminal plasma miRNA levels: a pilot study.
Background: Excess weight and metabolic disorders have a negative impact on male reproductive functions. The mechanisms involved are numerous and complex and epigenetic mechanisms may also be involved, notably through the small non-coding RNAs. Among them, microRNAs (miRNAs) are of particular interest. This preliminary study aimed to identify the miRNAs differentially enriched in seminal plasma related to metabolic disorders and if some are also associated with spermatic parameters alterations. One hundred and sixty men between 18 to 45 years, partners of infertile couple, were included in this cohort. The miRNAs associated with metabolism were selected from the literature and assayed by quantitative real-time PCR using TaqMan gene expression assays. A subset of those with an interesting profile in seminal plasma were secondarily tested in blood.
Results: Among the 11 selected miRNAs, seven were detected in seminal plasma (miR10b, miR19a, miR19b, miR34b, miR34c, miR133b, miRlet7c). A negative correlation was observed between seminal miR19a levels and metabolic syndrome, blood glucose and C-peptide. Seminal miR19b levels were also negatively correlated with metabolic syndrome. Seminal miR34c levels were negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference. Seminal miR133b levels were positively correlated with BMI, waist circumference and leptin levels. Interestingly, modifications of miRNAs in seminal plasma seem specific since highlighted above correlations were not retrieved in the blood plasma for the miR19a, 19b, 10b, 34c.
Conclusion: Few metabolic and anthropometric disorders are correlated with the level of specific miRNAs in seminal plasma. Further studies will be required to decipher if other small non-coding RNAs may also be correlated with metabolic and anthropometric disorders and to assess their potential implication in the alteration of reproductive functions in men with obesity or metabolic disorders.
