Human fertilization with round and elongated spermatids [PDF]

Human Reproduction, 1997
Human spermatids from ejaculate and testicular tissue have been utilized for evaluating human fertilization by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and, where possible, compared with spermatozoa utilizing sibling oocytes. Round and elongated spermatids obtained from ejaculates were either prepared through Percoll gradients or isolated and washed ...

Peroxiredoxin 4 Involved in Spermatogenesis by Affecting Oxidative Stress and Ferroptosis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The main functions of testes are sperm production and androgen secretion in testicular befitting microenvironment. Excessive level of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) from metabolism and cellular events can lead to oxidative stress (OS) and ferroptosis, which injure the functions of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of ...

Chromodomain Helicase DNA–Binding Proteins and Spermatogenesis: Current Advances

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Male infertility is a prevalent clinical condition, with approximately one‐third of cases classified as idiopathic, frequently stemming from impaired spermatogenesis because of dysregulated gene expression. Chromodomain helicase DNA‐binding (CHD) proteins are central chromatin remodelers that orchestrate this epigenetic regulation ...

Diacerein Disrupts Testicular Homeostasis: The Essential Role of Basal Cytokines in Maintaining Sertoli Cell Integrity and the Immune Microenvironment

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pro‐inflammatory cytokines, TNF and IL‐1B, are essential for testicular homeostasis. Diacerein, an anti‐inflammatory drug, inhibits these cytokines, impairing M2 macrophages and Leydig cells (LCs). However, its impact on Sertoli cells (SCs) and M1 (CD68) macrophages remains unknown.

Loss‐of‐Function Variants in CCDC189 Cause Human Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia by Disrupting Sperm Flagellar and Acrosomal Architecture

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT), characterized by reduced sperm count, impaired motility, and abnormal morphology, is a major cause of male infertility with substantial genetic heterogeneity. However, the underlying genetic etiology remains unresolved in a large proportion of affected individuals.

Sperm Head–Tail Coupling Apparatus Diversity and Common Themes Among Species

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A stable connection between the sperm head (containing the nucleus and acrosome) and tail (containing the axoneme, mitochondrial sheath, and periaxonemal structures) is critical for fertility. This connection is mediated by a series of nuclear, cytoplasmic, and centriole components that make up the head–tail coupling apparatus (HTCA)

Successful fertilization and embryo development after spermatid injection: A hope for nonobstructive azoospermic patients

Journal of Human Reproductive Sciences, 2015
Spermatids are the earliest male germ cells with haploid set of chromosomes. Spermatid injection was introduced in human assisted reproduction for the treatment of men with non-obstructive azoospermia.

Blocking the Bromodomains Function Contributes to Disturbances in Alga Chara vulgaris Spermatids Differentiation

Cells, 2020
Bromodomain containing (BRD) proteins play an essential role in many cellular processes. The aim of this study was to estimate activity of bromodomains during alga Chara vulgaris spermatids differentiation. The effect of a bromodomain inhibitor, JQ1 (100
