LATAR BELAKANG: Regulasi fungsi spermatozoa bergantung pada modifikasi paska translasi yang dapat diaktivasi melalui serangkaian tranduksi sinyal. Berbagai hormon telah diketahui mengatur aktivasi serangkaian transduksi sinyal dalam spermatozoa matang. Pemberian prolaktin pada spermatozoa normal telah diketahui dapat berperan sebagai faktor ketahanan hidup melalui aktivasi jalur transduksi sinyal PI3K/AKT ? anti apoptosis, sehingga spermatozoa dapat mempertahankan motilitas dan viabilitas. Namun efek pemberian prolaktin terhadap kondisi spermatozoa lainnya seperti astenozoospermia (motilitas rendah dan marker apoptotik tinggi) masih belum diketahui. Inkubasi in vitro pada spermatozoa pasien infertil sebelum dilakukannya fertilisasi berbantuan dapat menyebabkan penurunan viabilitas dan motilitas sperma akibat proses apoptosis. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian prolaktin terhadap fosforilasi AKT dari spermatozoa pasien infertil astenozoospermia. BAHAN DAN CARA KERJA: Sampel penelitian ini berjumlah 30 pasien yang dibagi dalam kelompok perlakuan dengan prolaktin dan tanpa prolaktin (Kontrol). Status astenozoospermia, data motilitas sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan didapatkan dari analisis data CASA oleh staff laboratorium androlog Klinik IVF Yasmin, RSCM Kencana Jakarta. Analisis ekspresi protein, fosforilasi dan apoptosis dilakukan dengan teknik imunositokimia dan western blot kemudian dilanjutkan dengan analisis densitometri dengan Image J. HASIL : Berdasarkan hasil uji anova one way dan t test independent, terdapat peningkatan motilitas yang bermakna antara kelompok sebelum inkubasi dan sesudah inkubasi dengan prolaktin serta antara kelompok inkubasi dengan prolaktin dan tanpa prolaktin (kontrol) (p<0,05), meskipun tidak terdapat perbedaan fosforilasi tirosin yang bermakna antara kelompok perlakuan dengan prolaktin dan kontrol. Pada kelompok perlakuan terdapat peningkatan fosforilasi AKT yang bermakna dibandingkan kelompok kontrol (p<0,05), akan tetapi tidak terdapat perbedaan aktivasi kaspase 3 yang bermakna antara kelompok perlakuan dengan prolaktin dan kelompok kontrol. KESIMPULAN : Pemberian prolaktin pada spermatozoa astenozoospermia dapat meningkatkan motilitas dan tingkat ketahanan hidup pada spermatozoa astenozoospermia melalui induksi fosforilasi AKT meskipun tidak memberi perubahan signifikan pada tingkat apoptosis (aktivasi kaspase 3).

BACKGROUND: The regulation of sperm cell function depends on post translation modification that can be activated through several signal transduction pathways. Those transduction pathways can be activated by several hormones. It has been reported that prolactin exerts a prosurvival effect on human spermatozoa via mechanisms that involved the stimulation of akt phosphorylation and suppression of caspase activation and capacitation, so that it could preserves viability and motility of spermatozoa. However, prolactin effect on asthenozoospermic sperm has not been investigated. Asthenozoospermia, or low sperm motility, is a common cause of human male infertility. Apoptosis markers appeared significantly higher in asthenozoospermia as compared with normozoospermia. Studies have revealed that apoptosis markers tend to increase in spermatozoa following cryopreservation and thawing or others preparation before assisted reproductive technology treatment. The aim of this research was to evaluate any possible effect of prolaktin as prosurvival factor to induce AKT phosphorylation on spermatozoa of patients with asthenozoospermia. METHODS: Human spermatozoa of asthenozoospermic patients (n=30) were divided into two groups, one with prolactin treatment and one as control (without prolactin. Determination of asthenozoospermic condition, sperm motility parameters were assessed using CASA System at Andrology Laboratorium, Yasmin IVF Clinic, RSCM Kencana,Jakarta. Analysis of prolactin receptor, tyrosine phosphorylation and apoptosis were performed with immunocytochemistry and western blot analysis at Molecular biology Laboratorium FK University of Indonesia and continued with densitomtry analysis using Image J (NIH) program. RESULT : The result of anova one way dan t test independent show that there was a significant increase of motility in the group of sample after incubation with prolactin compare togroup of sample before treatment and control (p<0,05), even though there was no significant difference of tyrosine phosphorilation in both group tratment with prolactin and control. Incubation of spermatozoa with prolactin showed a significant increase in AKT phosphorylation compare with control group (p<0,05), however there was no significant difference of Caspase 3 activation between treatment group and control. CONCLUSION: Prolactin treatment on spermatozoa of asthenozoospermic patient has increase survival rate by induction of AKT phosphorylation, however the high level of proapoptosis factor caused a failure to prevent caspase 3 activation.

Abstrak :
Most of male infertility are caused by defect in sperm motility (asthenozoospermia). The molecular mechanism of low sperm motility in asthenozoospermic patients has not been fully understood. Sperm motility is strongly related to the axoneme structure which is composed of microtubules and supported by outer dense fiber (ODF) and fibrous sheath (FS) protein. The objective of this study was to characterize the ODF (ODF1 and ODF2) expression in asthenozoospermic infertile male and control normozoospermic fertile male. Asthenozoospermic samples (n=18) were collected from infertile patients at andrology lab, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta and control were taken from normozoospermic fertile donor (n=18). After motility analyses by computer assisted sperm analysis (CASA), semen were divided into two parts, for Western blot and for immunocytochemistry analysis. Antibody against ODF1 and ODF2 protein were used in both analyses. Analysis of ODF1 protein expression showed bands with molecular weight of -30 kDa and ODF2 -85 kDa. The mean band intensity of ODF1 and ODF2 protein were lower in the asthenozoospermic group (AG) compared to normozoospermic group (NG). Moreover, both ODF proteins were less intense and less localized in the AG than NG. Sperm motility was lower in AG, compared to control NG, i.e.average path velocity (VAP) = 32.07 +-7.03 vs 37.58 +-8.73=0.455; straight line velocity (VCL) = 45.68+-7.91 vs 55.55 +-16.40 p=0.099. There is down-regulation of ODF1 and ODF2 protein expression and less-compact localization in AG sperm compared to the NG. These changes might have caused disturbances in the sperm motility as observed in this study.
