Seminal plasma, traditionally regarded as a passive transport medium for sperm, has emerged as a sophisticated biofluid orchestrating critical dialogues in reproductive physiology. Contemporary research reveals its multifunctional role in modulating endometrial receptivity through molecular priming of the female reproductive tract, a process essential for successful embryo implantation. Notably, seminal plasma contains numerous extracellular vesicles (EVs) that serve as critical mediators of intercellular communication via the regulation of biological processes in target cells. Through this sophisticated vesicular communication system, seminal plasma extracellular vesicles (SPEVs) coordinate critical reproductive events. Thus, it will be important to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which SPEVs mediate reproductive processes, to provide knowledge that may improve fertility outcomes. Herein, we elucidated the emerging potential of SPEVs as non-invasive biomarkers for male fertility assessment and infertility diagnosis. Furthermore, this review systematically summarized current advances in SPEVs, highlighting their multifaceted roles in mediating sperm maturation, regulating sperm capacitation, and modulating embryo implantation through targeted delivery of bioactive signaling molecules.
传统上,精浆被视为精子的被动运输介质,但如今已成为一种复杂的生物流体,在生殖生理学中协调着关键的对话。当代研究揭示了它在通过对女性生殖道进行分子预处理来调节子宫内膜容受性方面的多功能作用,这一过程对胚胎成功着床至关重要。值得注意的是,精浆含有大量细胞外囊泡(EVs),这些囊泡通过调节靶细胞中的生物过程,作为细胞间通讯的关键介质。通过这种复杂的囊泡通讯系统,精浆细胞外囊泡(SPEVs)协调关键的生殖事件。因此,阐明SPEVs介导生殖过程的分子机制,以提供可能改善生育结果的知识,将具有重要意义。在此,我们阐明了SPEVs作为男性生育力评估和不孕症诊断的非侵入性生物标志物的新潜力。此外,本综述系统总结了SPEVs的当前进展,突出了它们在介导精子成熟、调节精子获能以及通过靶向递送生物活性信号分子来调节胚胎着床方面的多方面作用。
