Male infertility is a complex disorder affecting many couples worldwide. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate important cellular processes; however, a comprehensive understanding of their role in male infertility is limited. This systematic review investigates the differential expressions of lncRNAs in male infertility or variations in lncRNA regions associated with it. The PRISMA guidelines were used to search Pubmed and Web of Science (1 June 2022). Inclusion criteria were human participants, patients diagnosed with male infertility, and English language speakers. We also performed an in silico analysis investigating lncRNAs that are reported in many subtypes of male infertility. A total of 625 articles were found, and after the screening and eligibility stages, 20 studies were included in the final sample. Many lncRNAs are deregulated in male infertility, and interactions between lncRNAs and miRNAs play an important role. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the impact of variants found in lncRNA regions. Furthermore, eight lncRNAs were identified as differentially expressed in many subtypes of male infertility. After in silico analysis, gene ontology (GO) and KEGG enrichment analysis of the genes targeted by them revealed their association with bladder and prostate cancer. However, pathways involved in general in tumorigenesis and cancer development of all types, such as p53 pathways, apoptosis, and cell death, were also enriched, indicating a link between cancer and male infertility. This evidence, however, is preliminary. Future research is needed to explore the exact mechanism of action of the identified lncRNAs and investigate the association between male infertility and cancer.
男性不育是一种复杂的疾病,影响着全球许多夫妇。长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)调节重要的细胞过程;然而,对其在男性不育中作用的全面了解有限。本系统综述研究lncRNA在男性不育中的差异表达或与之相关的lncRNA区域变异。采用PRISMA指南检索了PubMed和Web of Science(2022年6月1日)。纳入标准为人类参与者、被诊断为男性不育的患者以及说英语的人。我们还进行了一项计算机分析,研究在男性不育的许多亚型中报道的lncRNA。共找到625篇文章,经过筛选和合格性阶段后,最终样本纳入了20项研究。许多lncRNA在男性不育中表达失调,lncRNA与miRNA之间的相互作用起着重要作用。然而,关于lncRNA区域中发现的变异的影响存在知识空白。此外,8种lncRNA被鉴定为在男性不育的许多亚型中差异表达。经过计算机分析,对它们靶向的基因进行基因本体(GO)和KEGG富集分析,揭示了它们与膀胱癌和前列腺癌的关联。然而,所有类型肿瘤发生和癌症发展中普遍涉及的途径,如p53途径、细胞凋亡和细胞死亡,也得到了富集,这表明癌症与男性不育之间存在联系。然而,这一证据是初步的。需要未来的研究来探索已鉴定lncRNA的确切作用机制,并研究男性不育与癌症之间的关联。
