OBJECTIVE To observe the seminal plasma proteomic composition in men with spinal cord injury orally treated with probenecid, in order to observe pathways associated with increased sperm motility. METHODS Prospective study. METHODS Miami Project to Cure Paralysis - University of Miami/Miller School of Medicine. METHODS Nine men with spinal cord injury, who agreed to participate in the study. METHODS Oral treatment with probenecid - 500 mg per day for one week, then 500 mg twice daily [1000 mg total] per day for three weeks. METHODS Semen analysis as per WHO 2010 guidelines, and seminal plasma proteomics analysis by LC-MS/MS. RESULTS In total, 783 proteins were identified, of which, 17 were decreased, while 6 were increased after treatment. The results suggest a new pathway that could be treated by the decrease of biglycan after probenecid treatment. CONCLUSIONS Oral treatment with probenecid is able to alter the seminal plasma proteome, in pathways that explain decreased innate immune response.

D008297 Male Males
D011339 Probenecid The prototypical uricosuric agent. It inhibits the renal excretion of organic anions and reduces tubular reabsorption of urate. Probenecid has also been used to treat patients with renal impairment, and, because it reduces the renal tubular excretion of other drugs, has been used as an adjunct to antibacterial therapy. Benecid,Benemid,Benuryl,Pro-Cid,Probecid,Probenecid Weimer
D011446 Prospective Studies Observation of a population for a sufficient number of persons over a sufficient number of years to generate incidence or mortality rates subsequent to the selection of the study group. Prospective Study,Studies, Prospective,Study, Prospective

D012661 Semen The thick, yellowish-white, viscid fluid secretion of male reproductive organs discharged upon ejaculation. In addition to reproductive organ secretions, it contains SPERMATOZOA and their nutrient plasma. Seminal Plasma,Plasma, Seminal
D013081 Sperm Motility Movement characteristics of SPERMATOZOA in a fresh specimen. It is measured as the percentage of sperms that are moving, and as the percentage of sperms with productive flagellar motion such as rapid, linear, and forward progression. Motilities, Sperm,Motility, Sperm,Sperm Motilities
D013094 Spermatozoa Mature male germ cells derived from SPERMATIDS. As spermatids move toward the lumen of the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES, they undergo extensive structural changes including the loss of cytoplasm, condensation of CHROMATIN into the SPERM HEAD, formation of the ACROSOME cap, the SPERM MIDPIECE and the SPERM TAIL that provides motility.

D053719 Tandem Mass Spectrometry A mass spectrometry technique using two (MS/MS) or more mass analyzers. With two in tandem, the precursor ions are mass-selected by a first mass analyzer, and focused into a collision region where they are then fragmented into product ions which are then characterized by a second mass analyzer. A variety of techniques are used to separate the compounds, ionize them, and introduce them to the first mass analyzer. For example, for in GC-MS/MS, GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY is involved in separating relatively small compounds by GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY prior to injecting them into an ionization chamber for the mass selection.
