Abstract

Thoroughbred stallions that carry a double-homozygous genotype A/A-A/A for SNPs rs397316122 and rs69101140 in exon 5 of the FKBP6 gene (chr13; EquCab3.0) are uniquely subfertile due to impaired acrosomal exocytosis (IAE). In this study, the sperm proteome in frozen/thawed semen from subfertile Thoroughbred stallions was studied and compared to that of frozen/thawed sperm from fertile Thoroughbred stallions. A total of 2,220 proteins was identified, of which 140 proteins were found to be differentially abundant in sperm from the subfertile stallions compared to that of fertile stallions (83 less and 57 more abundant). Proteins of differential abundance in sperm from the subfertile stallions were mainly overrepresented in the "metabolism" and the "metabolism of lipids" pathways. One of these proteins, arylsulfatase F (ARSF), was studied by immunofluorescence. A lower proportion of sperm displaying ARSF signal at the acrosome region was observed in sperm from subfertile Thoroughbred stallions. In addition, heterologous zona pellucida binding assays revealed that sperm from subfertile Thoroughbred stallions bound at a lower proportion to zonae pellucidae than sperm from fertile Thoroughbred stallions. In conclusion, a group of differential abundance proteins, including some of acrosome origin, were identified in sperm from subfertile stallions with acrosome dysfunction.

摘要

携带 FKBP6 基因外显子 5 中 rs397316122 和 rs69101140 两个 SNP 双重纯合基因型 A/A-A/A(chr13;EquCab3.0)的纯血种公马由于顶体胞吐作用受损(IAE)而表现出特有的不育。在这项研究中,研究了不育纯血种公马冷冻/解冻精液中的精子蛋白质组,并将其与可育纯血种公马的冷冻/解冻精子蛋白质组进行了比较。共鉴定出 2220 种蛋白质,其中 140 种蛋白质在不育种公马的精子中丰度与可育种公马的精子相比存在差异(少 83 种,多 57 种)。不育种公马精子中丰度存在差异的蛋白质主要在“代谢”和“脂质代谢”途径中过表达。其中一种蛋白质,芳基硫酸酯酶 F(ARSF),通过免疫荧光进行了研究。在不育的纯血种公马的精子中,顶体区域显示 ARSF 信号的精子比例较低。此外,异种透明带结合实验显示,不育的纯血种公马的精子与可育的纯血种公马的精子相比,与透明带的结合比例较低。总之,在具有顶体功能障碍的不育种公马的精子中鉴定出了一组差异丰度的蛋白质,包括一些顶体起源的蛋白质。
