Fallah F, Colagar AH, Saleh HA, Ranjbar M. Variation of the genes encoding antioxidant enzymes SOD2 (rs4880), GPX1 (rs1050450), and CAT (rs1001179) and susceptibility to male infertility: a genetic association study and in silico analysis. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:86412-86424.

Abstract
Enzymatic factors including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and catalase (CAT) are among the most important protective antioxidant systems in human semen. This study was conducted to investigate the association between the activities of the mentioned enzymes in semen and also the association between SOD2 rs4880, GPX1 rs1050450, and CAT rs1001179 polymorphisms with male infertility, which was followed by a bioinformatics approach. In a case-control study, 223 infertile men and 154 healthy fertile men were included in the study. After extracting genomic DNA from semen samples, the genotype of rs1001179, rs1050450, and rs4880 polymorphisms was determined using the PCR-RFLP. Next, the activities of SOD, CAT, and GPX enzymes were also measured in semen. Bioinformatics software was used to investigate the effect of polymorphisms on the function of genes. Data analysis indicated that rs1001179 polymorphisms were not associated with male infertility. But our data revealed that the rs1050450 polymorphism is associated with a reduced risk of male infertility as well as asthenozoospermia and teratozoospermia. In addition, rs4880 polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of male infertility as well as teratozoospermia. Further analysis showed that the activity of the CAT enzyme in the infertile group is significantly higher than in the fertile group, but the activity of GPX and SOD enzymes in the infertile group is significantly lower than in the fertile group. Bioinformatic analysis showed that rs1001179 polymorphism affects the transcription factors binding site upstream of the gene, while rs1050450 and rs4880 polymorphisms had an essential role in protein structure and function. On the other hand, rs1050450 (T allele) was exposed to a reduced risk of male infertility and may be a protective factor. And SOD2 rs4880 (C allele) is associated with an increased risk of male infertility, and it is considered a risk factor for male infertility. To reach accurate results, we recommend that the study of SOD2 rs4880 and GPX1 rs1050450 polymorphism effects in the different populations with a larger sample size and meta-analysis are needed.

Bach HA, Vu PN, Ma THT, Nguyen HH, Tran Duc P, Bui Minh D, Nong VH, Nguyen DT. Genetic variations of antioxidant genes and their association with male infertility in Vietnamese men. J Clin Lab Anal 2023; 37:e24829. [PMID: 36592993 PMCID: PMC9937874 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.24829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Antioxidant genes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and nitric oxide synthase (NOS), play critical roles in spermatogenesis and sperm functions. Polymorphisms of antioxidant genes have been shown to be strongly associated with sperm quality which affects male fertility. METHODS To investigate the association of antioxidant gene polymorphisms to male infertility in Vietnamese men, in this case-control study, using Sanger sequencing, we genotyped four variants SOD1:7958G>A, SOD2:c.47T>C, CAT:-262C>T, and NOS3:-786C>T. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS We identified SOD1:7958GA genotype and NOS3:-786CT genotype in the infertility group were significantly higher than in the control with OR = 2.191 (95% CI: 1.226-3.915, p = 0.004) and OR = 3.135 (95% CI: 1.591-6.180, p < 0.001), respectively. We also detected that the frequency of the SOD2:c.47TC genotype was significantly higher in the male infertility group than in fertile men (OR = 1.941, 95% CI: 1.063-3.595, p = 0.029). Gene-gene interactions between the SNPs of SOD1, SOD2, and CAT might increase the risk of male infertility patients. In particular, patients carrying the SOD1:GA+AA, SOD2:TC+CC, and CAT:CT/TT genotype pattern have an increased risk of male infertility (OR = 7.614, p = 0.007). To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the association between the SOD1:7958G>A polymorphism and male infertility. Further studies with larger sample sizes and more genes are needed to better assess the association between variants of antioxidant genes and male infertility.

Abstract
Background Several genetic association studies have analyzed the link between the catalase ( CAT) C262T variant and different cancers, but the findings remain controversial. Our research centered on establishing a comprehensive correlation between the C262T variant and different cancers. Methods This study was conducted using RevMan 5.4 software following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. For this meta-analysis, 53 case-control studies (18,258 cases and 47,476 controls) were chosen. Results The analysis revealed that three genetic models were statistically linked ( P < 0.05) to overall cancer susceptibility in codominant model 2 (COD2): odds ratio (OR) = 1.16, COD3: OR = 1.21, recessive model (RM): OR = 1.20). After stratification by ethnicity, a significant link ( P < 0.05) was found in Caucasians (COD2: OR = 1.18, COD3: OR = 1.17, over-dominant model (ODM): OR = 1.19) and Asians (COD3: OR = 1.49). Subgroup analyses revealed a significant correlation ( P < 0.05) with blood-and-bone-marrow-related cancer, skin cancer, gastrointestinal-tract-related cancer, prostate cancer, and gynecologic cancer. Three genetic models in population-based controls (COD2: OR = 1.19, COD3: OR = 1.17, RM: OR = 1.19) and two genetic models in hospital-based controls (COD3: OR = 1.40, RM: OR = 1.24) were found to be significantly correlated ( P < 0.05) with cancer. Also, three genetic models for polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (COD3: OR = 1.46; RM: OR = 1.34, ODM: OR = 0.80) and three models for MALDI-TOF + MassARRAY (COD2: OR = 1.32, RM: OR = 1.26, allele model: OR = 1.14) genotyping methods showed significant association ( P < 0.05) with cancer. The meta-regression showed that the quality scores might be a source of significant heterogeneity under the COD2 model (coefficient = 0.176, P = 0.029). Trial sequential analysis also validated the adequacy of the sample size on overall findings. Conclusion Our results indicate that CAT C262T variant is associated with overall cancer susceptibility, especially in Caucasians and Asians. This variant may also be associated with blood-and-bone-marrow-related, GIT-related, prostate, skin, and gynecological cancers.

Abstract
Sperm motility is one of the major determinants of male fertility. Since sperm need a great deal of energy to support their fast movement by active metabolism, they are thus extremely vulnerable to oxidative damage by the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other free radicals generated as byproducts in the electron transport chain. The present study is aimed at understanding the impact of a mitochondrial oxidizing/reducing microenvironment in the etiopathology of male infertility. We detected the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) 4,977 bp deletion in human sperm. We examined the gene mutation of ATP synthase 6 (ATPase6 m.T8993G) in ATP generation, the gene polymorphisms of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2, G-866A) in the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation, the role of genes such as manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD, C47T) and catalase (CAT, C-262T) in the scavenging system in neutralizing reactive oxygen species, and the role of human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (hOGG1, C1245G) in 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) repair. We found that the sperm with higher motility were found to have a higher mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial bioenergetics. The genotype frequencies of UCP2 G-866A, MnSOD C47T, and CAT C-262T were found to be significantly different among the fertile subjects, the infertile subjects with more than 50% motility, and the infertile subjects with less than 50% motility. A higher prevalence of the mtDNA 4,977 bp deletion was found in the subjects with impaired sperm motility and fertility. Furthermore, we found that there were significant differences between the occurrences of the mtDNA 4,977 bp deletion and MnSOD (C47T) and hOGG1 (C1245G). In conclusion, the maintenance of the mitochondrial redox microenvironment and genome integrity is an important issue in sperm motility and fertility.

Abstract
Infertility is a multifactorial and polygenic disease. A vast majority of infertility is still unexplained despite modern diagnostic techniques. Oxidative stress is considered a factor for male infertility but etiology in terms of functional gene polymorphism and experimental studies on human subjects is scarcely reported. The aim of the study was to investigate the status of three antioxidant enzymes; catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione reduced (GSH) in clinically diagnosed infertile males and find the potential association of CAT gene variant in the promoter region -21 A/T (rs7943316). The study consisted of 55 clinically diagnosed infertile males and 50 non-infertile volunteers. The activity of antioxidant enzymes was measured through a spectrophotometer. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was performed for genotyping of single-nucleotide polymorphism. Catalase enzyme activity was significantly decreased while SOD and GSH were substantially increased (p ≤ 0.01) in infertile men in comparison to non-infertile. CAT gene variant rs7943316 had shown significant association in dominant, recessive model and allelic frequencies. The study concludes that rs7943316 has a substantial role in male infertility. The outcome of the study may help in resolving idiopathic infertility cases and may help in evolving novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Other variants of CAT and antioxidant genes are suggested to ascertain further insight.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress is caused by the imbalance occurring between the creation and clearance of the reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is responsible for 30-40% of male infertility. The positive impact of phoenix dactylifera pollen (Date palm pollen, DPP) on the improvement of sperm parameters has been well documented in animal models. OBJECTIVE For evaluating the effect(s) of DPP on sperm parameters, ROS levels, expression of antioxidant genes, and activity of antioxidant enzymes of infertile men. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this controlled clinical trial, a total of 60 male case with infertility and 20 normospermic fertile men were recruited. Before and after the treatment with DPP, the case were administered 400 mg/kg of gelatinous capsules daily for 30 consecutive days and semen samples were taken. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was applied for the evaluation of the mRNA expression levels of Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(NRF2), superoxide dismutase (SOD2), glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4), and catalase (CAT) genes. RESULTS The mRNA expression levels of NRF2, SOD2, GPX4, and CAT (p < 0.05 for all) and significantly increased after treatment with DPP. The increased expressions of all antioxidant genes and enzymes significantly correlated with improvement in semen parameters including count (p = 0.01), motility (p = 0.05), and morphology (p = 0.01) of sperm. A significant correlation between the alteration of SOD2 gene expression and SOD activity, GPX4 and GPX, and CAT were also observed (p = 0.05). CONCLUSION DPP can increase the expressions of NRF2, GPX4, SOD2, and CAT genes and also improve the semen quality in infertile men.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (Prdxs) are known to play a critical role in regulating male fertility as antioxidant enzymes. Although several studies have suggested a close association between Prdxs and male fertility, few studies have explored the efficacy of Prdxs to predict male fertility. Therefore, the current study was designed to discover the most efficient biomarkers among the Prdxs with six isoforms. Our study showed a significant positive correlation between the litter size and the levels of PRDX 4 among all isoforms in spermatozoa. Subsequently, a regression analysis using a combination of markers was conducted to increase efficacy for fertility prediction. Nevertheless, PRDX4 had the highest efficacy compared to other combination models to predict litter size. The prediction accuracy of male fertility was further evaluated through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, which showed that PRDX 4 could predict the litter size with high overall accuracy of 95%. Moreover, litter size was increased by 1.55 piglets after predicting high litter size using PRDX 4. This is the first study to comprehensively elucidate the role of all isoforms of PRDXs on male fertility to the best of our knowledge. PRDX 4 was tested and evaluated up to a practical level. Data here reported suggesting PRDX 4 marker allowed the highest accuracy for male fertility prediction and diagnosis, leading to a measurable improvement in the male fertility outcome.

Abstract
Infertility is a global health problem involving about 15% of couples. Approximately half of the infertility cases are related to male factors. The oxidative stress, which refers to an imbalance in levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants, is one of the main causes of infertility in men. A small amount of ROS is necessary for the physiological function of sperm including the capacitation, hyperactivation and acrosomal reaction. However, high levels of ROS can cause infertility through not only by lipid peroxidation or DNA damage but inactivation of enzymes and oxidation of proteins in spermatozoa. Oxidative stress (OS) is mainly caused by factors associated with lifestyle. Besides, immature spermatozoa, inflammatory factors, genetic mutations and altering levels of sex hormones are other main source of ROS. Since OS occurs due to the lack of antioxidants and its side effects in semen, lifestyle changes and antioxidant regimens can be helpful therapeutic approaches to overcome this problem. The present study aimed to describe physiological ROS production, roles of genetic and epigenetic factors on the OS and male infertility with various mechanisms such as lipid peroxidation, DNA damage, and disorder of male hormone profile, inflammation, and varicocele. Finally, the roles of oral antioxidants and herbs were explained in coping with OS in male infertility.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We verify whether finasteride had a transgenerational effect on the epididymal expression of antioxidant enzymes, and the correlation between these enzymes and blood androgen concentrations in male offspring (F1:Fin) of females fertilized by finasteride-treated male rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS The expression of CAT, SOD1, GPX5, GR on the mRNA and protein levels was evaluated in the epididymis at postnatal day (PND) 7, 14, 21, 28 and 90. Levels of T and DHT were correlated with mRNA levels of enzymes by Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. RESULTS A change in the levels of transcripts was noted in F1:Fin rats: CAT decreased at PND 28 (p < 0.01) and increased at PND 90 (p < 0.01); SOD1 increased at PND 7 (p < 0.0001), 21 (p < 0.001), 90 (p < 0.0001) and decreased at 14 PND (p < 0.01); GPX5 increased at PND 14 and 21 (p < 0.0001); GR decreased at PND 21 and 28 (p < 0.0001). Altered immunolocalization of enzymes within the epididymal epithelium was observed. Negative correlations between GPX5 mRNA with androgens (T, p = 0.0002; DHT, p = 0.0009) were visible in the control rats, and positive correlation between DHT and CAT mRNA (p = 0.03), in opposite to F1:Fin group were was negative for both androgens (T, p = 0.044 and DHT, p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Finasteride treatment of adult male rats may cause changes in antioxidant defense system in the epididymis of their offspring, leading to improper ROS concentrations that can affect post-testicular sperm maturation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although oxidative stress is thought to be an important cause of male infertility, primarily due to DNA and cell membrane damage, little is known about the genetic causes underlying suboptimal function of the seminal enzymatic antioxidant system. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of four potentially functional polymorphisms associated with oxidative stress pathway genes (superoxide dismutase-SOD2 lle58Thr and SOD2 rs4880, catalase-CAT C-262T, glutathione peroxidase 1-GPX1 Pro200Leu) and two null variants of the glutathione S transferase (GSTT and GSTM) genes and infertility risk. METHODS A case control study was conducted on 313 infertile patients and 80 fertile donors. Each ejaculate was subjected to a seminal analysis that included the classical parameters seminal volume, sperm concentration, sperm motility, and sperm morphology, as well as sperm DNA fragmentation (patients only). Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and PCR multiplex methods were carried out for genotyping. RESULTS Statistically significant differences were found between fertile donors and infertile patients for SNP CAT C-262T; the CC genotype was related with a twofold increased risk of infertility (odds ratio [OR] = 2.262; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.369-3.733; P = 0.001), whereas the CT genotype was associated with a protective effect (OR = 0.401; 95% CI = 0.241-0.667; P = 0.001). Surprisingly, the SOD2 Ile58ssThr SNP was not represented in the sample population, so its frequency in the current population frequenting fertility clinics in Madrid may be very low. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the CAT SNP C-262T is potentially associated with an increased risk of male infertility.

Analysis of Serum Cytokines and Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms of SOD1, SOD2, and CAT in Erysipelas Patients. J Immunol Res 2017; 2017:2157247. [PMID: 28512644 PMCID: PMC5420430 DOI: 10.1155/2017/2157247] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2016] [Accepted: 03/21/2017] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Increased free radical production had been documented in group A (β-hemolytic) streptococcus infection cases. Comparing 71 erysipelas patients to 55 age-matched healthy individuals, we sought for CAT, SOD1, and SOD2 single polymorphism mutation (SNPs) interactions with erysipelas' predisposition and serum cytokine levels in the acute and recovery phases of erysipelas infection. Whereas female patients had a higher predisposition to erysipelas, male patients were prone to having a facial localization of the infection. The presence of SOD1 G7958, SOD2 T2734, and CAT C262 alleles was linked to erysipelas' predisposition. T and C alleles of SOD2 T2734C individually were linked to patients with bullous and erythematous erysipelas, respectively. G and A alleles of SOD1 G7958A individually were associated with lower limbs and higher body part localizations of the infection, respectively. Serum levels of IL-1β, CCL11, IL-2Rα, CXCL9, TRAIL, PDGF-BB, and CCL4 were associated with symptoms accompanying the infection, while IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, IL-13, IL-15, IL-17, G-CSF, and VEGF were associated with predisposition and recurrence of erysipelas. While variations of IL-1β, IL-7, IL-8, IL-17, CCL5, and HGF were associated with the SOD2 T2734C SNP, variations of PDFG-BB and CCL2 were associated with the CAT C262T SNP.

Conservative Nonhormonal Options for the Treatment of Male Infertility: Antibiotics, Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, and Antioxidants. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 2017:4650182. [PMID: 28164122 PMCID: PMC5253172 DOI: 10.1155/2017/4650182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2016] [Revised: 12/04/2016] [Accepted: 12/05/2016] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
The nonhormonal medical treatment can be divided into empirical, when the cause has not been identified, and nonempirical, if the pathogenic mechanism causing male infertility can be solved or ameliorated. The empirical nonhormonal medical treatment has been proposed for patients with idiopathic or noncurable oligoasthenoteratozoospermia and for normozoospermic infertile patients. Anti-inflammatory, fibrinolytic, and antioxidant compounds, oligo elements, and vitamin supplementation may be prescribed. Infection, inflammation, and/or increased oxidative stress often require a specific treatment with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and/or antioxidants. Combined therapies can contribute to improve sperm quality.

Abstract
We studied the frequency of alleles and genotypes of CAT gene -262C>T polymorphism (rs1001179) in Russian and Buryat adolescents. The frequency of -262T allele was 28.31% in Russians and 16.84% in Buryats (p<0.01). In both ethnic groups, a correlation between the study polymorphism and concentration of diene conjugates was observed. Carriers of TT-genotype of CAT gene-262C>T polymorphism had lower level of diene conjugates than carriers of CT- and CC-genotypes.

Variations in Antioxidant Genes and Male Infertility. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2015; 2015:513196. [PMID: 26618172 PMCID: PMC4651646 DOI: 10.1155/2015/513196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2015] [Revised: 09/09/2015] [Accepted: 10/15/2015] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated from both endogenous and environmental resources, which in turn may cause defective spermatogenesis and male infertility. Antioxidant genes, which include catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione S-transferase (GST), nitric oxide synthase (NOS), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), and superoxide dismutase (SOD), play important roles in spermatogenesis and normal sperm function. In this review, we discuss the association between variations in major antioxidant genes and male infertility. Numerous studies have suggested that genetic disruption or functional polymorphisms in these antioxidant genes are associated with a higher risk for male infertility, which include low sperm quality, oligoasthenoteratozoospermia, oligozoospermia, and subfertility. The synergistic effects of environmental ROS and functional polymorphisms on antioxidant genes that result in male infertility have also been reported. Therefore, variants in antioxidant genes, which independently or synergistically occur with environmental ROS, affect spermatogenesis and contribute to the occurrence of male infertility. Large cohort and multiple center-based population studies to identify new antioxidant genetic variants that increase susceptibility to male infertility as well as validate its potential as genetic markers for diagnosis and risk assessment for male infertility for precise clinical approaches are warranted.
