Popis: | The aim of this study was to determine whether altered expression and distribution of calcium- and integrin-binding protein-1 (CIB1) is involved in the pathogenesis of patients with oligoasthenozoospermia.Sperm samples were obtained from 25 infertile Chinese men who had failed to achieve conception after a period of 1-2 y and had been referred to the Reproductive Laboratory of the second hospital affiliated to the Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Participants were divided into two groups: oligoasthenozoospermia (n = 13) and asthenozoospermia (n = 12); as a third group, fertile men (n = 19) were included as controls. The expression levels of mRNA and protein levels of CIB1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) were measured using qRT-PCR and western blotting.mRNA and protein expression levels of CIB1 were decreased in the oligoasthenozoospermia patients. Interestingly mRNA and protein expression levels of CDK1 were increased in the oligoasthenozoospermia patients.The results of the present study indicate that that CIB1 may be involved in the pathogenesis of oligoasthenozoospermia by the CDK1 signaling pathway. |
