Abstract | Two types of plasminogen activators (PA), tissue type (tPA) and urokinase type (uPA), were identified in the seminal plasma of both the human and the rhesus monkey. We studied the possible relationship between PA activities in the seminal plasma and the sperm counts and motility and demonstrated that: (i) PA activity in human seminal plasma from infertile patients was associated with immotile spermatozoa; (ii) the treatment of fertile men with testosterone enanthate (TE) to induce azoospermia was accompanied by an increase in seminal PA activity; (iii) when monomer T4 (isolated from multiglycosides of Tripterygium wilforddi) was administered to fertile male rhesus monkeys to induce azoospermia, PA activities in seminal plasma increased considerably; and (iv) immunocytochemistry studies showed that both uPA and PAI-1 antigens were localized on the surface of human spermatozoa, indicating that human spermatozoa were capable of binding uPA and PAI-1 through their receptors or forming a complex. These data demonstrate that seminal PA activity may be related to azoospermia, and possibly, to the fertilizing capability of spermatozoa in primates. © European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology. |
