Protection post-testiculaire des gamètes mâles contre les dommages radicalaires

Abstract: > Lorsqu'ils quittent le testicule, les spermatozoïdes sont fonctionnellement immatures et disposent de moyens de défense intrinsèques limités. Ils deviendront mobiles et fécondants après leur descente et leur maturation progressive dans le tubule épididymaire. L'épididyme assure aussi la survie et la protection des gamètes mâles pendant cette phase de maturation posttesticulaire et pendant la période de stockage entre deux éjaculations. Parmi les agressions communes auxquelles les spermatozoïdes sont soumis, … Show more

“…We have shown earlier that in mouse an epididymal luminal scavenger, the glutathione peroxidase 5 protein (Gpx5) is critical in this post-testicular disulfide bridging process since it contributes to fixing the optimal H 2 O 2 concentration in the epididymal fluid [145]. Consequently it also determines the optimal level of disulfide bridging on the sperm nucleus [146]. When Gpx5 is absent (in gpx5 −/− animals) it results in DNA oxidative damage, mainly to the sperm nucleus, a cell compartment that is difficult to protect even though the epididymis of gpx5 -deficient animals does it best to limit the increase of luminal oxidative attacks on the sperm plasma membrane [145].…”

“…When both sngpx4 and gpx5 were knocked out we recorded cumulative effects on sperm cells that show both nuclear susceptibility to decondensation and nuclear oxidation [144]. Therefore, when the testis is not at the origin of the defect, the sperm nuclear condensation can also be challenged in its post-testicular life especially during epididymal transit where oxidative processes are at work to complete it [146, 147]. Any disruption of the oxidative balance in or around sperm cells in their post-testicular life may thus affect the level of nuclear condensation.…”

“…The epididymis is a vital organ essential for male reproduction and provides different ways to protect the maturing spermatozoa (Hinton et al ., , ; Vernet et al ., ; Noblanc et al ., ). The blood‐epididymal barrier plays a fundamental role in the protection of the maturing spermatozoa (Cyr et al ., ).…”

“…For instance, varicocoele, vasectomy, or estradiol treatment does not interfere with the function of the barrier (Hinton et al ., ). Moreover, the epididymal epithelium contains different antioxidant enzymes that are involved in the protection of the epididymal spermatozoa against oxidative damage (Vernet et al ., ; Noblanc et al ., ).…”
