摘要

研究构建 Jpx 敲除小鼠,发现该 lncRNA 缺失不影响精原细胞增殖与减数分裂,而主要损害减数分裂后的精子形成:睾丸缩小、精子数量与活力下降、畸形精子增多(残余胞质、线粒体鞘紊乱)、精子线粒体能量代谢物(G6P、异柠檬酸、ATP/GTP/NAD+)显著降低,IVF 效率与囊胚率下降。机制上,胞质富集的 Jpx 与延伸因子 EEF1A1 结合形成核糖核蛋白复合物,靶向 Cul4b mRNA 3'UTR 稳定转录并促进翻译;Jpx 缺失导致 Cul4b 减少、PINK1/LC3-II 降低与 p62 升高,即线粒体自噬受损、氧化应激升高。该研究提示 Jpx–EEF1A1–Cul4b 轴是精子形成期线粒体稳态的转录后调控新机制。

原文摘要

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are abundantly expressed in the testis, but their roles in male fertility remain largely uncharacterized. Here, we generated Jpx knockout (KO) mice and found that Jpx deficiency did not affect spermatogonial proliferation or meiosis, but predominantly impaired the post-meiotic phase of spermiogenesis. KO males exhibited reduced testis size, prolonged reproductive cycles, smaller litters, decreased sperm count, and impaired progressive motility. Their spermatozoa also showed compromised in vitro fertilization (IVF) efficiency and lower blastocyst formation rates. Ultrastructurally, KO spermatozoa had elevated teratozoospermia manifested as excessive residual cytoplasm with dispersed mitochondria and autophagic vacuoles, as well as severe midpiece mitochondrial disorganization, including disrupted sheath assembly, cristae loss, and vacuolization. Metabolomics revealed a profound defect in spermatozoal mitochondrial energy metabolism, with significant reductions in multiple glycolytic and TCA cycle intermediates (e.g., G6P and isocitrate) as well as key energy molecules (ATP, GTP, and NAD+). Mechanistically, the predominantly cytoplasmic Jpx directly bound the elongation factor EEF1A1 to form a ribonucleoprotein complex, which specifically attached to the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of Cul4b mRNA, thereby stabilizing the transcript and enhancing its translation. Consequently, Jpx ablation led to a substantial reduction in Cul4b, defective mitophagy (as evidenced by decreased PINK1 and LC3-II/I ratio and increased p62), mitochondrial dysfunction, and elevated oxidative stress in spermatogenic cells. Together, our findings identify Jpx as an essential post-transcriptional regulator that control mitophagy via the EEF1A1-dependent stabilization and translational promotion of Cul4b, thereby ensuring mitochondrial homeostasis, metabolic competence, and functional spermatozoon maturation.

推荐理由:机制链条完整(lncRNA–RNA 结合蛋白–靶 mRNA 稳定性/翻译–线粒体自噬),并配套精子功能、超微结构与代谢组、IVF/囊胚结局等多层表型,是男性不育与精子线粒体质量研究的扎实一手动物证据;但为小鼠模型,距 ART 实验室直接应用仍有一定距离。
