[Roles of reactive oxygen species and lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme X in changes of sperm mitochondrial membrane in patients with varicocele-induced infertility].
Objective: To explore the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme X (LDH-X) in the changes of sperm mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in infertility patients with varicocele (VC).
Methods: This study included 38 infertility patients with VC (VCinf), 35 non-VC infertile males (NVCinf), and 30 normal fertile men as controls. We obtained the routine semen parameters using the sperm quality analysis system, examined the contents of LDH-X in the seminal plasma and sperm with the automatic biochemical analyzer, measured the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in seminal plasma by thiobarbituric acid (TBA) colorimetry, and determined the expressions of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and LDH-X mRNA in the sperm using JC-1 fluorescence probe and RT-PCR.
Results: No statistically significant differences were observed among the three groups of subjects in age, semen pH value, semen volume and sperm concentration (P > 0.05). Compared with the normal fertile controls, the patients in the VCinf and NVCinf groups showed significantly decreased sperm motility ([52.36 ± 12.48]% vs [34.74 ± 15.23]% vs [25.76 ± 13.73]%, P< 0.05), percentage of progressively motile sperm (PMS) ([42.54 ± 13.58]% vs [29.10 ± 14.17]% vs [20.95 ± 12.33]%, P< 0.05), sperm LDH-X ([16.46 ± 5.47] vs [13.63 ± 4.50] vs [10.18 ± 3.00] mU/106, P< 0.05), sperm MMP ([48.04 ± 11.62]% vs [40.86 ± 12.69]% vs [34.41 ± 13.93]%, P< 0.05) and expression of sperm LDH-X mRNA (P< 0.05). but increased seminal plasma LDH-X ([935.36 ± 229.48] vs [1241.05 ± 337.07] vs [1425.08 ± 469.35] U/L, P< 0.05), seminal plasma/whole sperm LDH-X ([1.06 ± 0.35] vs [1.40 ± 0.34] vs [1.63 ± 0.66], P< 0.05), and content of seminal plasma MDA ([1.10 ± 0.19] vs [1.59 ± 0.27] vs [2.00 ± 0.22] nmol/ml, P< 0.05).
Conclusion: Excessive ROS in the reproductive system of VCinf patients reduces the content of MMP and causes the overflow of LDH-X out of sperm cells. Therefore the decrease of sperm LDH-X may be accompanied by that of MMP.
期刊介绍:
National journal of andrology was founded in June 1995. It is a core journal of andrology and reproductive medicine, published monthly, and is publicly distributed at home and abroad. The main columns include expert talks, monographs (basic research, clinical research, evidence-based medicine, traditional Chinese medicine), reviews, clinical experience exchanges, case reports, etc. Priority is given to various fund-funded projects, especially the 12th Five-Year National Support Plan and the National Natural Science Foundation funded projects. This journal is included in about 20 domestic databases, including the National Science and Technology Paper Statistical Source Journal (China Science and Technology Core Journal), the Source Journal of the China Science Citation Database, the Statistical Source Journal of the China Academic Journal Comprehensive Evaluation Database (CAJCED), the Full-text Collection Journal of the China Journal Full-text Database (CJFD), the Overview of the Chinese Core Journals (2017 Edition), and the Source Journal of the Top Academic Papers of China's Fine Science and Technology Journals (F5000). It has been included in the full text of the American Chemical Abstracts, the American MEDLINE, the American EBSCO, and the database.
