Abstrakt: NOX5 is introduced as a new therapeutic target for infertility treatment. This study aimed to compare the basal and stimulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and sperm function in human teratozoospermic (n = 15) and normozoospermic (n = 17) semen samples following calcium overload and NOX5 activation. Washed spermatozoa incubated for 1 h under five various conditions: control group, adding a calcium ionophore A23187, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), A23187 + PMA, and diphenylene iodonium (DPI) + A23187 + PMA. ROS generation was measured immediately after treatment for 30 min. Motility, viability, acrosome reaction, and apoptosis were evaluated after 1-h incubation. ROS production significantly increased when A23187 or PMA was added to the sperm medium. DPI had suppressive effects on ROS generation. Progressive and total motility significantly decreased following calcium elevation and NOX5 activation, which was somewhat returned by DPI. Necrotic and live cells in teratozoospermia was, respectively, higher and lower than normozoospermia samples. Incubation with A23187 significantly increased the percentage of early and late apoptosis. Teratozoosperm are more vulnerable than normal spermatozoa, and produce more basal and stimulated ROS. It seems that calcium overload induces apoptosis in spermatozoa and loss of viability through MPT pore opening and increased intracellular ROS.
