Metodo: Um estudo transversal foi realizado incluindo 156 pacientes normozoospermicos. Apos a coleta do semen por masturbacao, uma aliquota foi utilizada para a analise seminal e outra para a avaliacao da atividade mitocondrial, da integridade do acrossoma e da integridade do DNA dos espermatozoides. O volume remanescente de semen foi centrifugado e o plasma seminal sobrenadante foi utilizado para a avaliacao do nivel seminal de peroxidacao lipidica e para a analise proteomica. Posteriormente, os pacientes foram divididos em percentis (15%) para formacao dos grupos experimentais de cada estudo: Estudo 1 - alta (grupo controle) e baixa (grupo alterado) atividade mitocondrial dos espermatozoides, Estudo 2 - alta (grupo controle) e baixa (grupo alterado) integridade do acrossoma dos espermatozoides, Estudo 3 - baixa (grupo controle) e alta (grupo alterado) fragmentacao do DNA dos espermatozoides e Estudo 4 - baixo (grupo controle) e alto (grupo alterado) niveis seminais de peroxidacao lipidica. A analise proteomica foi realizada utilizando LCMS/MS. Os grupos foram comparados por meio de analise univariada (teste t de Student) e analise multivariada (PLS-DA e analise discriminante). As proteinas significantes foram posteriormente submetidas a analise de enriquecimento funcional. Resultados: Nos estudos 1, 2, 3 e 4 foram observadas 506, 493, 474 e 629 proteinas, respectivamente. As funcoes enriquecidas no estudo 1 foram detoxificacao de EROs e ligacao a NADP (controle) e atividade de oxidoredutase intramolecular, catabolismo de aminoglicanos, inibicao de endopeptidases, lisossomos e resposta imune de fase aguda (alterado). As principais funcoes enriquecidas no estudo 2 foram resposta imune (controle) e inibicao de fosfolipase, metabolismo do acido araquidonico, exocitose, resposta inflamatoria aguda, resposta ao peroxido de hidrogenio e transporte lisossomal (alterado). As principais funcoes enriquecidas no estudo 3 foram metabolismo de carboidratos, regulacao de lipoproteinas, regulacao negativa da apoptose, metabolismo de hormonios, atividade de metalopeptidases, ligacao ao NAD e lisossomos (controle) e biossintese de prostaglandinas e ligacao a acidos graxos (alterado). As principais funcoes enriquecidas no estudo 4 foram biossintese de acidos graxos insaturados, atividade de oxidantes e antioxidantes e resposta celular ao estresse termico (alterados). Nos estudos 1, 2, 3 e 4 foram sugeridos 8, 6, 8 e 7 biomarcadores seminais de atividade mitocondrial, integridade acrossoma, fragmentacao de DNA e peroxidacao lipidica, respectivamente. Conclusoes: O perfil proteomico do plasma seminal reflete alteracoes funcionais dos espermatozoides e o nivelseminal de peroxidacao lipidica e diversas funcoes pos-genomicas estao relacionadas as alteracoes estudadas. Proteinas relacionadas as alteracoes funcionais dos espermatozoides e ao nivel seminal de peroxidacao lipidica constituem potenciais biomarcadores seminais para cada alteracao / Objective: To verify if the seminal plasma proteomic profile reflects sperm functional alteration and semen lipid peroxidation levels. Method: A cross-sectional study was performed including 156 normozoospermic patients. After semen retrieval by masturbation, an aliquot was utilized for semen analysis and another for evaluation of sperm mitochondrial activity, acrosome integrity and DNA fragmentation. The remaining semen volume was centrifuged and the supernatant seminal plasma was utilized for semen lipid peroxidation levels evaluation, and proteomic analysis. Patients were divided into percentiles (15%) to form the experimental groups: Study 1 – high (control group) and low (altered group) sperm mitochondrial activity; Study 2 – high (control group) and low (altered group) sperm acrosome integrity; Study 3 – low (control group) and high (altered group) sperm DNA fragmentation; Study 4 – low (control group) and high (altered group) semen lipid peroxidation levels. Proteomic analysis was performed by a LC-MS/MS approach. Groups were compared using univariate (Student’s t test) and multivariate (PLS-DA and discrimant analysis) analyses. Differentially expressed proteins were then utilized for functional enrichment analysis. Results: 506, 493, 474, and 629 proteins were observed in studies 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Enriched functions in study 1 were reactive oxygens species detoxification, and NADP binding (control group), and intramolecular oxidoreductase activity, aminoglycans catabolism, endopeptidases inhibition, lysosomes, and acute-phase response (altered group). In study 2, main enriched functions were acute-phase response (control group), and phospholipase inhibition, arachidonic acid metabolism, exocytosis, regulation of acute inflammatory response, response to hydrogen peroxide and lysosomal transport (altered group). In study 3, main enriched functions were carbohydrates metabolism, lipoprotein regulation, negative regulation of apoptosis, hormone metabolism, metalopeptidases activity, NAD binding, and lysosomes (control group), and prostaglandin biosynthesis, and fatty acid binding (altered group). In study 4, enriched functions were unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis, oxidants and antioxidants activity, and cellular response to heat stress (altered group). In total, 8, 6, 8, and 7 seminal biomarkers were proposed for studies 1 (mitochondrial activity), 2 (acrosome integrity), 3 (DNA fragmentation), and 4 (lipid per oxidation), respectively. Conclusions: The seminal plasma proteomic profile reflects sperm functional alterations and semen lipid perodixation levels, and several post-genomic functions are related to the studied alterations. Proteins related to sperm functional alterations, and semen lipid peroxidation levels constitute potential seminal biomarkers for each alteration. / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações
