Outline of Final Research Achievements

Although oxidative stress related to abnormal spermatogenesis in patients of male infertile, the underlying mechanisms of occurrence of male infertile is poorly understood. To investigate the mechanism of spermatogenesis involved with oxidative stress, we focused on three independent research topics. (1) Decreased activity of protein degradation by proteasome induce poor sperm motility. (2) Increment of oxidative stress observed in the patients of male infertility. We hypothesized that male infertility caused by the breakdown of oxidative stress response with hypoactivity of proteasome. In this study, we revealed that Lipin1 is a candidate for regulation of spermatogenesis with mitochondrial sheath formation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

精子形態異常を伴う男性不妊の酸化ストレスの関与、及びプロテアソームの機能低下はそれぞれ症例から明らかになったものであり、その後実験によって確認されていない。プロテアソームの異常によって酸化ストレスが増大することは実験的に証明されている。男性不妊患者の異常形態精子では、双頭、尾部が二股、中片の短縮など様々な形態をとるが、その原因はほとんどわかっていない。二重欠損マウス精子は、ヒト患者精子と同様の形態を呈していた。今後、更なる検証を行うことで、男性不妊の原因の一端がプロテアソームの活性低下にあることが証明できれば、治療戦略に新たな視点を提供できる。
