Abstract

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of PNPLA5 gene on male rats' fertility. We used male PNPLA5 knockout rats(KO) as the experimental group and wild type rats(WT) as the control group, feeding them with regular diet. The epididymis spermatozoa and testis tissue were collected. We detected the pregnancy rate and average litter size by breeding assay, the sperm motility by Computer Aided Sperm Analysis(CASA), the expression level of mitochondria function related proteins (cytochrome C,Cytc and cytochrome C Oxidase subunit IV) in sperms were detected by Western blot, and histochemical morphology of testis tissue by HE staining.The results showed that PNPLA5 knockout significantly reduced the pregnancy rate of the mated female rats (P<0.01), significantly decreased the curvilinear velocity of sperm(P<0.05) and percentage of sperm with progressive movement (P<0.01) compared to the wild type male rats.We also found that the PNPLA5 knockout downregulated the expression level of Cytc and upregulated expression level of COX IV in sperms compared with those in wild type rats(WT), but no significant difference were observed between 2 groups (P>0.05). In addition, the histological structure of testis of PNPLA5 knockout rats (KO) appeared loose, unarranged, and epithelial cells detached to the lumen. In conclusion,this study shows that PNPLA5 knockout reduces the fertility of male rats and it may provide an important evidence for understanding the animal reproductive performance.
