Abstract：
:The life cycle of many cell types can hinge on the presence of death factors that can control programmed cell death. The Fas-mediated apoptotic pathway has been implicated in controlling apoptosis during spermatogenesis in a number of mammalian species. In the human, the presence of nuclear DNA damage in ejaculated spermatozoa has pointed to a possible role for apoptosis during spermatogenesis. The presence of other molecular markers of apoptosis has, however, not been shown. More importantly, differences in these markers have not been investigated in men with normal and abnormal sperm parameters. In this study we examine for the presence of the cell surface protein Fas in ejaculated human spermatozoa. Ejaculated spermatozoa (55 samples) were labeled with anti-human Fas antibody and the number of spermatozoa displaying Fas were counted using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS). In 30/31 (96.8%) normal males (>20 million sperm per milliliter), less than 10% of the spermatozoa were Fas positive. In contrast, 14/24 (58.3%) oligozoospermic samples (<20 million sperm per milliliter) contained more than 10% Fas-positive spermatozoa. Similar differences were observed in men whose spermatozoa had poor motility and morphology. These results indicate that apoptosis is a major mechanism in regulating spermatogenesis in the human and that there are clear differences in molecular markers of apoptosis between males with normal and abnormal sperm parameters. We propose that the presence of Fas-labeled spermatozoa in the ejaculate of these men is indicative of an "abortive apoptosis" having taken place, whereby the normal apoptotic mechanisms have misfunctioned, have been overridden, or have not been completed.
