精子形成是精子发生的最后阶段,圆形精子细胞经历了一系列的形态变化和染色质凝聚,形成了具有物种特异性的成熟精子。组蛋白-鱼精蛋白替换是精子形成过程中的重要事件。在组蛋白-鱼精蛋白替换过程中,组蛋白首先被睾丸特异性的组蛋白变体所替代,随后过渡蛋白整合到细胞核中,最后过渡蛋白被鱼精蛋白取代。组蛋白-鱼精蛋白替换缺陷可能导致无精子症、少精子症或畸精症,从而导致男性不育。本文系统总结了组蛋白-鱼精蛋白替换过程中的调控机制研究进展,以期为男性不育症的诊断和治疗提供理论基础。

Spermiogenesis is the final stage of spermatogenesis, in which round spermatids differentiate into mature sperms through a complex process including morphological changes and chromatin condensation. Histone-to-protamine transition during spermiogenesis is a critical part of this biological process. Histones are initially replaced by testis-specific histone variants, then transition proteins integrate into the nucleus, and are in turn replaced by protamine. Impaired histone-to-protamine transition may cause azoospermia, oligospermia or teratospermia, which lead to male infertility. In this review, we summarize the research progress of regulatory mechanisms of the histone-to-protamine transition, thereby providing the theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility.
