• W2667132015 abstract "Are human spermatozoa able of chemorepulsive behaviour?Capacitated human spermatozoa are able to be chemorepelled by synthetic Progesterone Receptor Ligands (sPRL, known as contraceptives) and zinc (a cation released by the oocyte upon fertilization).Moving cells can be oriented towards or against a molecular gradient, processes called chemoattraction and chemorepulsion, respectively, which have been described in unicellular organisms such as amoebas and bacteria, to organismic cells such macrophages and developmental cells. In the case of spermatozoa, chemoattraction may help the finding of an oocyte and has been widely studied in various invertebrate and mammalian species; however, chemorepulsion has not yet been verified in spermatozoa.This is an in vitro study involving human, rabbit and mouse spermatozoa which were used to perform 3-30 experiments per treatment.Human sperm samples were obtained by masturbation from healthy donors who gave written consent. Only those samples exhibiting normal semen parameters according to current WHO criteria were included in the study. Rabbit spermatozoa were obtained by artificial vagina whereas mice spermatozoa were obtained from epididymis. The sperm selection assay (SSA), originally designed to evaluate sperm chemoattraction towards progesterone (P), and a video-microscopy and computer motion analysis system were used to test sperm chemorepulsion. Additional kinetic parameters were also determined by video-microscopy and computer motion analysis. In some experiments, the level of induced acrosome-reacted spermatozoa was determined. Rabbit mating manipulation was achieved to perform the sperm-oocyte co-incubation assay.Sperm accumulation in the well containing 100 pg/ml of sPRL was lower than the culture medium negative control (P < 0.05). The percentage of sperm persistence against the well containing 100 pg/ml ulipristal acetate (UPA) (P = 0.001), and the percentage of sperm showing a repulsive pattern of movement (a linear trajectory followed by a transitional one after turning against the UPA), were higher than the culture medium negative control (P = 0.049). Sperm accumulation was diminished when spermatozoa where exposed to a homogeneous distribution of 100 pg/ml sPRL combined with a chemotactic gradient of progesterone (P), with respect to the culture medium negative control (P < 0.05). These results were reverted when non-capacitated spermatozoa were used to perform the same experimental settings. The accumulation of spermatozoa against 100 pg/ml sPRL was lower than the culture medium negative control also in rabbits and mice (P < 0.05). The relative number of rabbit spermatozoa arriving to the vicinity of the oocyte was diminished under the presence of 100 pg/ml UPA (P = 0.004). Sperm accumulation in the well containing zinc was decreased compared to the culture medium negative control (P < 0.05). A homogeneous distribution of zinc combined with a gradient of 10 pM P, was lower than the culture medium negative control (P = 0.016). The results were quite reproducible with two different methodologies (accumulation assay and video-microscopy combined with computer motion analysis), in three mammalian species.The experiments were performed in vitro. Even though a quite complete characterization of sperm chemorepulsion was provided, the molecular mechanism that governs sperm repulsion is currently under investigation.Since the chemorepelled spermatozoa are those physiologically ready to fertilize the oocyte, these findings may have both biological and clinical implications, preventing either polyspermy under natural conditions or fertilization under pharmacological treatment with sPRL.The study was financed by the Universidad Nacional de Cordoba (Argentina). The authors declare that they do not have competing financial interests.N/A." @default.
