  • Mammalian Male Germ Cells Are Fertile Ground for Expression Profiling Of
    REPRODUCTIONREVIEW Mammalian male germ cells are fertile ground for expression profiling of sexual reproduction Gunnar Wrobel and Michael Primig Biozentrum and Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Klingelbergstrasse 50-70, 4056 Basel, Switzerland Correspondence should be addressed to Michael Primig; Email: [email protected] Abstract Recent large-scale transcriptional profiling experiments of mammalian spermatogenesis using rodent model systems and different types of microarrays have yielded insight into the expression program of male germ cells. These studies revealed that an astonishingly large number of loci are differentially expressed during spermatogenesis. Among them are several hundred transcripts that appear to be specific for meiotic and post-meiotic germ cells. This group includes many genes that were pre- viously implicated in spermatogenesis and/or fertility and others that are as yet poorly characterized. Profiling experiments thus reveal candidates for regulation of spermatogenesis and fertility as well as targets for innovative contraceptives that act on gene products absent in somatic tissues. In this review, consolidated high density oligonucleotide microarray data from rodent total testis and purified germ cell samples are analyzed and their impact on our understanding of the transcriptional program governing male germ cell differentiation is discussed.

However, many of these clones were singletons and the majority were unspliced, raising the possibility that they may be derived from genomic DNA or unprocessed pre-mRNA contamination during library construction, or alternatively represent nonspecific “transcriptional noise.” Here we show, using reverse transcriptase-dependent PCR, microarray, and Northern blot analyses, that many of these clones were derived from genuine transcripts of unknown function whose expression appears to be regulated.

Condorelli , Laura M. Mongioì, Sandro La Vignera * and Aldo E. Calogero Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, University of Catania, 95123 Catania, Italy; [email protected] (R.A.C.); [email protected] (L.M.M.); [email protected] (A.E.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (R.C.); [email protected] (S.L.V.) Received: 8 February 2020; Accepted: 2 March 2020; Published: 3 March 2020 Abstract: Male infertility affects half of infertile couples and, currently, a relevant percentage of cases of male infertility is considered as idiopathic. Although the male contribution to human fertilization has traditionally been restricted to sperm DNA, current evidence suggest that a relevant number of sperm transcripts and proteins are involved in acrosome reactions, sperm-oocyte fusion and, once released into the oocyte, embryo growth and development. The aim of this review is to provide updated and comprehensive insight into the molecular biology of spermatogenesis, including evidence on spermatogenetic failure and underlining the role of the sperm-carried molecular factors involved in oocyte fertilization and embryo growth. This represents the first step in the identification of new possible diagnostic and, possibly, therapeutic markers in the field of apparently idiopathic male infertility. Keywords: spermatogenetic failure; embryo growth; male infertility; spermatogenesis; recurrent pregnancy loss; sperm proteome; DNA fragmentation; sperm transcriptome 1. Introduction Infertility is a widespread condition in industrialized countries, affecting up to 15% of couples of childbearing age [1]. It is defined as the inability to achieve conception after 1–2 years of unprotected sexual intercourse [2].

  • Update on the Proteomics of Male Infertility: a Systematic Review
    Arab Journal of Urology (2018) 16, 103–112 Arab Journal of Urology (Official Journal of the Arab Association of Urology) www.sciencedirect.com DIAGNOSIS ORIGINAL ARTICLE Update on the proteomics of male infertility: A systematic review Manesh Kumar Panner Selvam, Ashok Agarwal * American Centre for Reproductive Medicine, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH, USA Received 28 October 2017, Received in revised form 17 November 2017, Accepted 19 November 2017 Available online 29 December 2017 KEYWORDS Abstract Objective: To assess the role of differentially expressed proteins as a resource for potential biomarker identification of infertility, as male infertility is Sperm proteomics; of rising concern in reproductive medicine and evidence pertaining to its aetiology Male infertility; at a molecular level particularly proteomic as spermatozoa lack transcription and Spermatozoa; translation. Proteomics is considered as a major field in molecular biology to vali- Varicocele; date the target proteins in a pathophysiological state. Differential expression analy- Biomarkers sis of sperm proteins in infertile men and bioinformatics analysis offer information about their involvement in biological pathways. Materials and methods: Literature search was performed on PubMed, Medline, and Science Direct databases using the keywords ‘sperm proteomics’ and ‘male infer- tility’. We also reviewed the relevant cross references of retrieved articles and included them in the review process. Articles written in any language other than Eng- lish were excluded. Results: Of 575 articles identified, preliminary screening for relevant studies elim- inated 293 articles. At the next level of selection, from 282 studies only 80 articles related to male infertility condition met the selection criteria and were included in this review.

  • Calmegin (B-11): Sc-515251
    SAN TA C RUZ BI OTEC HNOL OG Y, INC . Calmegin (B-11): sc-515251 BACKGROUND APPLICATIONS Calmegin, belonging to the calreticulin family, is expressed in testis as an Calmegin (B-11) is recommended for detection of Calmegin of human origin endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein, where it acts as a chaperone pro - by Western Blotting (starting dilution 1:100, dilution range 1:100-1:1000), tein and plays a role in spermatogenesis. Calmegin is a single-pass type I immunoprecipitation [1-2 µg per 100-500 µg of total protein (1 ml of cell membrane protein that is transcriptionally regulated in coordination by CpG lysate)], immunofluorescence (starting dilution 1:50, dilution range 1:50- methyltransferase and histone deacetylase (HDAC). First expressed in meiot - 1:500) and solid phase ELISA (starting dilution 1:30, dilution range 1:30- ic prophase of spermatocytes, Calmegin facilitates sperm-egg zona pellicuda 1:3000). binding through association with sperm membrane proteins (fertilin a and b). Suitable for use as control antibody for Calmegin siRNA (h): sc-60316, A loss in Calmegin results in male sterility. However, if the zona pellicuda is Calmegin shRNA Plasmid (h): sc-60316-SH and Calmegin shRNA (h) partially dissected and fertilized in vitro, the egg will develop normally. Lentiviral Particles: sc-60316-V. REFERENCES Molecular Weight (predicted) of Calmegin: 70 kDa. 1. Siep, M., et al. 2004. Basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Tcfl5 inter - Molecular Weight (observed) of Calmegin: 93 kDa. acts with the Calmegin gene promoter in mouse spermatogenesis.
