方法

取不同基因型雄性小鼠睾丸及附睾组织，计算脏体比，睾丸组织行常规HE染色，观察其生精功能状态变化；取不同基因型雄性小鼠附睾精子，应用计算机辅助精液分析系统进行精子运动功能相关参数分析，通过体外培养观察精子获能和顶体反应情况改变，应用光镜及电镜对精子的显微形态学及超微结构进行观察。

Abstract

Objective

To investigate the changes in morphological characteristics of sperm flagellum and in sperm motility parameters in

Fscb/Cabyr

double gene knockout (

Fscb/Cabyr

--/--

) mice.

Methods

The testis and epididymis tissues of male mice with different genotypes were collected and the organ-to-body weight ratio was calculated. The changes of spermatogenesis function in the testicular tissues of the mice were observed using HE staining. The parameters of sperm motility were analyzed using a computer-aided sperm analysis (CASA) system

and sperm capacitation and acroso

me reaction were observed with

in vitro

culture. The morphological characteristics of the sperms under optical microscope and electron microscope were compared among the mice with different genotypes.

Results

No significant difference was found in sperm density in the epididymis among the mice with 5 different genotypes. The progressive rate (PR) and motility rate (PR+NP)

mean curvilinear velocity (VCL)

mean straight-line velocity (VSL)

mean path velocity (VAP)

beat cross frequency (BCF) and amplitude of lateral head displacement (ALH) of the sperms were significantly lower in

Fscb/Cabyr

--/--

and

Fscb/Cabyr

++/--

mice than in the wild-type mice (

0.01). The

Fscb/Cabyr

--/--

and

Fscb/Cabyr

++/--

mice showed significantly lowered percentages of normal sperms 1.45)% and (53.22±3.51)%

]

as compared with the wild-type mice and significantly higher rates of sperm tail folding

]

than the wild-type mice. Ultrastructural observation of the sperm flagellum in

Fscb/Cabyr

--/--

and

Fscb/Cabyr

++/--

mice revealed that the longitudinal columns of the fibrous sheath disappeared in most of the sperms with disorganized circumferential ribs and heterogeneous reduction of the electron density in the sperms; some sperms showed disruption of the axoneme structure in the flagella with occasional disappearance and dissociation of the doublet microtubules at the center.

Conclusion

Both Cabyr single gene knockout and

Fscb/Cabyr

double gene knockout can cause significant abnormalities in flagellum morphology and motility of the sperms in male mice. CABYR protein is essential for maintaining normal fibrous sheath structure and normal motility of the sperm flagella.
