Objective: The sperm acrosome reaction is a Ca2+-dependent exocytotic event that is triggered by adhesion to the mammalian egg’s zona pellucida. Previous studies suggested a role of Ca2+ channels in acrosome reactions. This study was conducted to investigate the T-type calcium channel is operated in acrosome reaction of human spermatozoa. Method: Human semen samples were obtained from healthy donors with normal criteria. The spermatozoa were divided into five groups: Group 1 were non-treated as a control; Group 2 where spermatozoa were exposed to 5 ㎛ Ca2+ A23187 (Ca2+i); Groups 3 where spermatozoa were exposed 5 ㎛ Ca2+i and mibefradil; Group 4 where spermatozoa were exposed 5 ㎛ Ca2+i mibefradil and nifedipine. Spermatozoa in all groups were retrieved after incubation for 15 and 30 minutes at 37°C. After staining with PSA-FITC, fluorescence was observed under a fluorescence microscope, and AR was evaluated on a total > 100 spermatozoa/slide. Result and Conclusion: We observed on acrosome reaction inhibition rate in human spermatozoa the various of concentration of mibefradil, nifedipine. Maximum response was noted with 1.0 ㎛ mibefradil and te decrease of acrosome reaction inhibition rate 45%. Nifedipine in acrosome reaction inhibition rate was only about 25%. The Ca2+i-induced AR of spermatozoa was significantly suppressed by mibefradil. Incidence of the suppression was depending on concentration of mibefradil. Results from the present study suggest that the human spermatozoa possess T-type channel. The observation that reversible inhibitor of T channels in male germ cells provides a new mechanism of contraceptive action.
