摘要

Male mice had been previously generated in which the inner dynein arm heavy chain 7 gene (MDHC7) was disrupted. MDHC7(-/-) animals show asthenozoospermia and are sterile. Very few of their spermatozoa can achieve forward progression, but for those that can, we add here the information (1) that the three-dimensional aspects of their movement are normal; (2) that their maximum velocity is less than that of wild-type controls; and (3) that they are entirely unable to penetrate media of raised viscosity (25-4,000 cP). However, the large majority of the spermatozoa can achieve only a low amplitude vibration. In these sperm we find, using electron microscopy, that the outer dense fibres retain attachments to the inner surface of the mitochondria. Such attachments are present in normal epididymal mouse spermatozoa but are broken down as soon as the sperm become motile on release from the epididymis. The attachments are presumed to be essential during midpiece development and, afterwards, to require a threshold level of force to loosen them and so permit the sliding displacements necessary for normal bending. We presume that the disruption of the inner dynein arm heavy chain gene, MDHC7, means that there is insufficient force to overcome the attachments, for all but a few spermatozoa. Cell Motil.
