The shape of the concentration-response curve and the amplitude of maximal motility increase for the stimulatory effect of caffeine on human sperm motility were similar to those of EGTA, a calcium chelator, and lanthanum chloride, a calcium entry blocker. On the other hand, the maximal motility stimulation induced by dibutyryl cyclic AMP was similar to that induced by trifluoperazine, a calmodulin antagonist. The antagonism of A23187 on the motility-stimulating effect of EGTA and caffeine was competitive in nature, while that on cyclic AMP was non-competitive. We proposed that there could be two mechanisms for caffeine to stimulate sperm motility: at higher concentrations, caffeine modified calcium translocation; at lower concentrations, caffeine increased cyclic AMP level. The importance of calcium in the regulation of human sperm motility was reconfirmed in this study.
咖啡因对人类精子活力的刺激作用所产生的浓度-反应曲线形状以及最大活力增加幅度,与钙螯合剂乙二醇双四乙酸(EGTA)和钙内流阻滞剂氯化镧相似。另一方面,二丁酰环磷酸腺苷(dibutyryl cyclic AMP)诱导的最大活力刺激与钙调蛋白拮抗剂三氟拉嗪诱导的相似。A23187对EGTA和咖啡因活力刺激作用的拮抗本质上是竞争性的,而对环磷酸腺苷(cyclic AMP)的拮抗是非竞争性的。我们提出,咖啡因刺激精子活力可能有两种机制:在较高浓度下,咖啡因改变钙转运;在较低浓度下,咖啡因增加环磷酸腺苷水平。本研究再次证实了钙在调节人类精子活力中的重要性。
