ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to analyze the differences in the proteins in non-capacitated and capacitated boar sperm and to identify the functions of the differential proteins and key capacitation proteins of boar sperm before and after capacitation. Transwell chambers were used to separate capacitated sperm proteins using a unique polycarbonate membrane. Meanwhile, isotopic tags for relative and absolute quantification combined with LCâMS/MS analysis were used for quantitative determination of differential proteins. Through the comparative analysis of different databases, 475 different proteins were identified in non-capacitated sperm and capacitated sperm, of which 303 were significantly upregulated and 172 were significantly downregulated. These differentially-expressed proteins are mainly involved in redox processes, cell biosynthesis processes and cell aromatic compound metabolism biological processes. They also participate in the signaling pathways of phosphorylation, ketone synthesis and degradation, most of which interact to varying degrees. Among these differentially-expressed proteins, phosphofructokinase attracted our attention as a potential capacitated protein. We further verified that phosphofructokinase can promote boar sperm capacitation by immunoblotting.
