Objective To investigate the underlying mechanism by which hypoxia caused sperm developmental dysfunction. Methods Mouse spermatocytes GC-2 were conventionally sub-cultured in 6-well plates and grew to the logarithmic growth stage. 8 cell culture plates were selected and randomly divided into the hypoxia group and the control group. The cells in the hypoxia group and the control group were cultured in a Inviv O2 work station in 1% 02, 5% C02 and 94% N2 at 37 ℃ and a constant temperature and humidity of 5% carbon dioxide incubator at 37 ℃, respectively. After hypoxia treatment for 6, 12, 24 and 48 h, one cell culture plate was randomly taken from the Inviv 02 work station and the control from the carbon dioxide incubator. The cells in the hypoxia group and the control group were all randomly divided into two parts, of which one was used to extract total RNA and the other to extract total protein. The expressions of HSPA2, HSF1 and HSF2 in GC-2 were detected by real-time quantitative PCR and western blot. Results A transient increase in HSPA2 mRNA levels was found in GC-2 cells under hypoxia treatment for 24 h (P <0. 05), but no significant changes were observed at the other time points (6, 12 and 48 h) (P > 0. 05). No significant change in HSPA2 protein was found in GC-2 cells under hypoxia treatment for 6 h (P〉0. 05), but significant decreases at the other time points (12, 24 and 48 h) were observed (P <0. 05). HSF1 mRNA expressions were significantly decreased in GC-2 cells under hypoxia treatment for 6 and 12 h (P <0. 05), and no obvious change at the time point of 24 h was observed (P05), but a significant increase was detected at the time point of 48 h (P < 0. 05). HSF1 protein levels were all significantly downregulated under hypoxia treatment at four time points (6, 12, 24 and 48 h) (P <0. 05). HSF2 mRNA expressions had no significant changes in GC-2 cells at all four time points (6, 12, 24 and 48 h) (P >0. 05), and HSF2 protein levels also showed no significant changes under hypoxia treatment at three time points (6, 12 and 24 h) (P〉0.05), but a significant decrease occurred at the time point of 48 h (P < 0. 05). Conclusion HSPA2, HSF1 and HSF2 expressions in GC-2 cells are all significantly changed under hypoxia, and they may participate in hypoxia-caused sperm developmental dysfunction.
