In a case-controlled study, we assessed the expressed seminal NAD-dependent protein deacetylase (SIRT1) expression in infertile oligoasthenoteratozoospermic (OAT) men associated with varicocoele. Our study involved 81 men, recruited from the University hospitals, after ethical approval and informed consent. They were allocated into fertile normozoospermic men (n = 23), infertile OAT men without varicocoele (n = 23) and infertile OAT men with varicocoele (n = 35). Inclusion criteria consisted of confirmation of abnormal semen parameters and normal female partners whereas exclusion criteria were leukocytospermia, tobacco smoking, hormonal therapy, immunological disorders, dyslipidemia, hypogonadism, cardiovascular disorders, morbid obesity, and hepatic or renal failures. All participants had an interview to assess clinical history, clinical examination, semen analysis, and estimation of seminal SIRT1 expression. Seminal SIRT1 expression was significantly lower in infertile OAT men than fertile men. Among infertile OAT men, seminal SIRT1 expression was significantly lower in those with varicocoele than in those without. Additionally, seminal SIRT1 expression was significantly lower in varicocoele grade III cases compared with other grades. Seminal SIRT1 expression was positively correlated with sperm concentration (r = 0.327, p = 0.001), total sperm motility (r = 0.532, p = 0.001), and sperm normal forms (r = 0.469, p = 0.001). Our results suggest that seminal SIRT1 expression has a role of male infertility being significantly decreased in infertile OAT men in general and in infertile OAT men associated with varicocoele in particular.
在一项病例对照研究中,我们评估了精索静脉曲张相关少弱畸精子症(OAT)男性不育患者精液中 NAD 依赖的蛋白去乙酰化酶(SIRT1)的表达情况。本研究共纳入 81 名男性,均来自大学附属医院。在获得伦理批准和知情同意后,将其分为生育正常的正常精子症组(n=23)、非精索静脉曲张相关少弱畸精子症组(n=23)和精索静脉曲张相关少弱畸精子症组(n=35)。纳入标准为精液参数异常且女性伴侣正常,排除标准为白细胞精液症、吸烟、激素治疗、免疫性疾病、血脂异常、性腺功能减退、心血管疾病、病态肥胖和肝肾功能衰竭。所有参与者均接受了访谈,以评估临床病史、临床检查、精液分析和精液 SIRT1 表达情况。与生育正常的男性相比,少弱畸精子症患者的精液 SIRT1 表达显著降低。在少弱畸精子症患者中,精索静脉曲张患者的精液 SIRT1 表达显著低于非精索静脉曲张患者。此外,精索静脉曲张 3 级患者的精液 SIRT1 表达明显低于其他级别。精液 SIRT1 表达与精子浓度(r=0.327,p=0.001)、总精子活力(r=0.532,p=0.001)和精子正常形态(r=0.469,p=0.001)呈正相关。我们的研究结果表明,SIRT1 表达与男性不育有关,少弱畸精子症患者精液 SIRT1 表达普遍降低,精索静脉曲张相关少弱畸精子症患者降低更为显著。
