Figure 1 Melatonin reverses hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced caspase activation in a dose-dependent manner. (A and B) Human spermatozoa were stimulated for 1 hour with increasing concentrations of H2O2 (1 μM, 10 μM, 100 μM, and 1mM). (C and D) Spermatozoa were preincubated for 1 hour with increasing concentrations of melatonin (Mel; 1 μM, 10 μM, 100 μM, and 1mM) and then stimulated with 10 μM H2O2. Caspase-9 and -3 activity was estimated as described in the Materials and Methods section. Values are presented as means ± SEM of six independent samples and expressed as fold-increase over the pretreatment level (experimental/control). ∗P<0.05 compared with control values; #P<0.05.

Figure 2 Melatonin receptors mediated inhibiting effects of melatonin on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced caspase activation. Human spermatozoa were preincubated with 1 mM melatonin (Mel) for 1 hour in the absence or the presence of its MT1/MT2 receptor antagonists luzindole (Luz) and 4P-PDOT, and then stimulated with 10 μM H2O2 to check caspase-9 (A) and caspase-3 (B) activity. Luzindole and 4P-PDOT were added at the concentration of 50 μM and 50 nM, respectively, 30 min before other treatments. Caspase activity was estimated as described in the Materials and Methods section. Values are presented as means ± SEM of six independent samples and expressed as fold-increase over the pretreatment level (experimental/control). ∗P<0.05 compared with control values; #P<0.05.

Figure 3 MAPK signaling mediated the inhibiting effects of melatonin on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced caspase activation. Human spermatozoa were preincubated with 1 mM melatonin (Mel) for 1 hour in the absence or presence of the kinase inhibitors PD98059 (ERKi) and LY294002 (PI3Ki), and then stimulated with 10 μM H2O2 to check caspase-9 (A) and caspase-3 (B) activity. PD98059 and LY294002 were added at concentrations of 1 μM and 10 μM, respectively, 30 min before other treatments. Caspase activity was estimated as described in the Materials and Methods section. Values are presented as means ± SEM of six independent samples and expressed as fold-increase over the pretreatment level (experimental/control). ∗P<0.05 compared with control values; #P<0.05.

Figure 4 Melatonin counteracts H2O2-mediated DNA fragmentation through melatonin receptor- and ERK-dependent pathways. Human spermatozoa were preincubated with melatonin (Mel; 1 mM) for 1 hour in the absence or presence of and luzindole (Luz) and PD98059 (ERKi), and then stimulated with H2O2 (10 μM) to check the proportion of cells depicting DNA fragmentation. Luzindole and PD98059 were added at concentrations of 50 μM and 1 μM, respectively, 30 min before other treatments. DNA fragmentation was estimated as described in the Materials and Methods section. Left panel: differential interference contrast (DIC) images of cultured cells. Center and right panels: pictures of TUNEL-positive cells (green) and Hoechst 33342 nuclear stain (blue), respectively. Scale bars, 10 μm. Values inside the central panel are presented as means ± SEM of three separate experiments and expressed as a percentage of cells depicting DNA fragmentation. ∗P<0.05, regarding control group; #P<0.05, regarding H2O2 + Mel group.
