Hyperactivation of capacitated human sperm correlates with the zona pellucida-induced acrosome reaction of zona pellucida-bound sperm.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between human sperm hyperactivation (HA), sperm-zona pellucida (ZP) binding and the ZP-induced acrosome reaction (AR) of ZP-bound sperm in vitro. METHODS Sperm samples from 129 infertile men were studied. Motile sperm (2 x 10(6)) selected by Pure sperm were incubated with four oocytes in 1 ml human tubal fluid supplemented wit...
متن کاملInvolvement of protein tyrosine phosphorylation of human sperm in capacitation/acrosome reaction and zona pellucida binding.
The aim of this article is to review the surface molecules that are involved in capacitation/acrosomal exocytosis and zona pellucida (ZP) binding in context of tyrosine phosphorylation leading to signal transduction in human sperm. During capacitation, at least 7 proteins (200, 112, 104, 48, 42, 31 and 25 kD) are phosphorylated as studied by the 32P metabolic labeling assay, and 14 proteins (12...
متن کاملSperm binding to the zona pellucida is not sufficient to induce acrosome exocytosis.
At fertilization, spermatozoa bind to the zona pellucida (ZP1, ZP2, ZP3) surrounding ovulated mouse eggs, undergo acrosome exocytosis and penetrate the zona matrix before gamete fusion. Following fertilization, ZP2 is proteolytically cleaved and sperm no longer bind to embryos. We assessed Acr3-EGFP sperm binding to wild-type and huZP2 rescue eggs in which human ZP2 replaces mouse ZP2 but remai...
متن کاملAcrosome reaction: relevance of zona pellucida glycoproteins.
During mammalian fertilisation, the zona pellucida (ZP) matrix surrounding the oocyte is responsible for the binding of the spermatozoa to the oocyte and induction of the acrosome reaction (AR) in the ZP-bound spermatozoon. The AR is crucial for the penetration of the ZP matrix by spermatozoa. The ZP matrix in mice is composed of three glycoproteins designated ZP1, ZP2 and ZP3, whereas in human...
متن کاملInhibition of mouse acrosome reaction and sperm-zona pellucida binding by anti-human sperm membrane protein 1 antibody.
AIM To investigate the possible functions of human sperm membrane protein (hSMP-1) in the process of fertilization. METHODS A 576-bp cDNA fragment of HSD-1 gene coding for the extracellular domain of hSMP-1 was cloned and expressed. The localization of this protein on human and mouse sperm was determined by indirect immunofluorescent staining by using anti-recombinant hSMP-1 (anti-rhSMP-1) an...
