Study of the effect of ulipristal acetate on human sperm ability to interact with tubal tissue and cumulus-oocyte-complexes.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:Ulispristal acetate (UPA) is a selective progesterone receptor modulator widely used for emergency contraception (EC). The described main mechanism of action is by inhibiting or delaying ovulation; however, the postovulatory effects of the drug are still on debate. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether UPA could interfere with human sperm fertilizing ability. STUDY DESIGN:Human motile spermatozoa were incubated under capacitating conditions with or without UPA, and then used to inseminate human tubal explants, mouse cumulus-oocyte complexes and zona-free hamster eggs. The ability of UPA to interact with human sperm progesterone (P)-binding sites was investigated by incubating the cells with fluorescent-labeled P and analyzing them by fluorescence microscopy. RESULTS:UPA did not affect the ability of human sperm to bind to human tubal tissue explants surface or to penetrate the mouse cumulus mass and the zona-free hamster eggs. In addition, concentrations of UPA much higher than those present in the plasma of EC pill users were required to bind to human sperm P-binding sites. CONCLUSIONS:Our study supports a lack of an agonist or antagonist action of UPA on different functional parameters associated with the fertilizing ability of human sperm. IMPLICATIONS:This study provides new functional evidence supporting that the contraceptive action of UPA is not related to effects on human sperm cells, contributing to a better understanding of the mechanism of action of UPA as EC.
