Effect of the lack of CRISP1 and CRISP4 on sperm capacitation-associated events: WT and DKO sperm from Group1 (DKO1) were incubated under capacitating conditions for 90 min and different functional parameters evaluated. (A) Protein tyrosine phosphorylation analyzed by western blotting using an anti-phosphotyrosine antibody (α-pY). Fresh (F) and capacitated (C) sperm were analyzed. (A) representative blot is shown, n = 4. (B) Percentage of hyperactivation evaluated by CASA. Data are mean ± SEM, n = 6, *p < 0.05. (C) Percentage of acrosome reaction determined by Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining in sperm exposed to progesterone (P4) or dimethyl sulfoxide alone (vehicle) during the last 15 min of incubation. Data are mean ± SEM, n = 10. Different letters indicate significant differences between groups (a vs b, p < 0.01).
