Abstract

BACKGROUND: Autoimmune reactions and subsequent inflammation may underlie spermatogenic dysfunction and endometriosis-related infertility. The aim of this study is to identify disease-specific antigens in immune complexes (ICs) in seminal plasma (SP) and in follicular fluid (FF). METHODS: Immune complexome analysis, in which nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry is employed to comprehensively identify antigens incorporated into ICs in biological fluids, was performed for specimens collected from infertile couples undergoing assisted reproduction. Forty-two male patients consisting of subjects with oligozoospermia (n = 6), asthenozoospermia (n = 8), and normal semen analysis (n = 28). Fifty-eight female patients consisting of subjects with ovarian endometriosis (n = 10) and control women without disease (n = 48). RESULTS: Four disease-specific antigens were identified in subjects with oligozoospermia, while five disease-specific antigens were detected in subjects with asthenozoospermia, some of which are involved in sprematogenesis. Eight antigens were detected only in subjects with endometriosis. CONCLUSION: Functional characteristics of disease-specific antigens were found to correspond to the pathogenesis of male and female infertility. The formation of ICs may contribute to spermatogenic dysfunction and endometriosis-related infertility via loss of function of the related proteins. Immune complexome analysis is expected to be a valuable tool for the investigation of novel diagnostic methods and treatment strategies for infertility.
