Autophagy: a multifaceted player in the fate of sperm

Mei Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, the functional roles of autophagy in different stages of sperm fate (pre-testicular, testicular, and post-testicular) are summarized, and the mechanisms and clinical impacts of autophagy on sperm are identified, providing a foundation for the treatment of male infertility.

Cathepsin B Regulates Mice Granulosa Cells' Apoptosis and Proliferation In Vitro

Chao Chen et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that CTSB serves as a proapoptotic agent and plays a critical role in folliculogenesis in female mice by mediating apoptosis, autophagy, proliferation, and steroidogenesis. Therefore, CTSB could be a potential prognostic agent for female infertility.

Activation of autophagy by sitagliptin attenuates cadmium-induced testicular impairment in rats: Targeting AMPK/mTOR and Nrf2/HO-1 pathways

Hany H. Arab et al.

Summary: The study found that sitagliptin attenuated testicular injury induced by Cd by modulating the AMPK/mTOR and Nrf2/HO-1 pathways, improving testicular weight, sperm count/motility, sperm abnormalities, and serum testosterone levels, as well as enhancing defective autophagy and suppressing apoptotic events.

Alteration in autophagy gene expression profile correlates with low sperm quality

Yinsheng Guo et al.

Summary: This study investigated the association between autophagy-associated genes and low sperm quality, finding a correlation between down-regulated expression of autophagy regulating and associated genes and low sperm quality. The results provide clues for understanding the mechanism of low sperm quality and suggest potential targets for treatment.
