Description

Thoroughbred stallions that carry a double-homozygous genotype A/A-A/A for SNPs rs397316122 and rs69101140 in exon 5 of the FKBP6 gene (chr13; EquCab3.0) are uniquely subfertile due to impaired acrosomal exocytosis (IAE). However, clear causation of this condition has not been determined. In the current study, the sperm proteome in frozen/thawed semen from three fertile TB stallions and three subfertile TB stallions (FKBP6 genotype A/A-A/A) was studied using mass spectrometry-based global proteomics. Sperm from both stallion groups were incubated in Lactate-Modified Whitten's (Lac-MW) medium to induce spontaneous acrosomal exocytosis in viable sperm (AE/Viable). At 0h, 2h, 4h, and 6h, sperm aliquots were removed for analysis for AE/Viable using flow cytometry (Fixable Live/Dead Red + FITC-PSA) global proteomics via data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA-MS). Student's t-tests and two-way ANOVA with Benjamini-Hochberg multiple testing correction (FDR q-value 0.05) were used to determine differences in AE/Viable and protein relative abundance between experimental groups and incubation periods. At 4h and 6h of incubation, the mean AE/Viable was higher in the fertile than in the subfertile stallions (41 and 44% vs. 14 and 16%, respectively; p < 0.05). A total of 2220 proteins was identified by DIA-MS. Using strict selection criteria (FDR 1.0%, q-value < 0.05, and fold-change < 1.5 or > 1.5), 140 proteins were found to be differentially abundant in sperm from the subfertile stallions when compared to that of the fertile stallions (83 less and 57 more abundant) at 0h incubation. Using bioinformatic analyses, most of the proteins of lower abundance in sperm from subfertile stallions were found to be overrepresented in the "metabolism" (32 proteins) and "metabolism of lipids" (18 proteins) pathways (Homo sapiens orthologs; Reactome database). Two of these proteins, arylsulfatase F (ARSF; log2 fold change = -2.0; p < 0.05) and zona pellucida-binding protein 2 (ZPBP2; log2 fold change = -1.7; p < 0.05), are acrosomal proteins known to play a fundamental role in sperm-oocyte binding. By using immunofluorescence, at 0h of incubation in MW-Lac, ARSF was identified at the acrosome, mid-, and principal piece in sperm from fertile TB stallions, while only at the mid-and principal piece in sperm from subfertile TB stallions. No evidence of ZPBP2 was observed in sperm from both stallion groups at 0h incubation in Lac-MW. Sperm from subfertile Thoroughbred stallions were bound to porcine zonae pellucidae at a lower frequency than sperm from fertile Thoroughbred stallions. In conclusion, DIA-MS is a powerful tool to identify candidate proteins that contribute to the etiology of IAE in Thoroughbred stallions, including proteins of acrosome origin that have a role in the sperm-oocyte binding process.

This dataset may not contain all raw spectra data as originally deposited in PRIDE. It has been imported to MassIVE for reanalysis purposes, so its spectra data here may consist solely of processed peak lists suitable for reanalysis with most software.
