The acrosome reaction is a Ca2+-dependent exocytotic process that is a prerequisite step for fertilization. External calcium entry through voltage-activated Ca2+ channels is known to be essential in inducing the acrosome reaction of mammalian spermatozoa. Due to their complex geometry, however, electrophysiological identification of sperm Ca2+ channels has been limited. Here we identified Ca2+ channel mRNAs expressed in motile human sperm using RT-PCR and their levels were compared using RNase protection assays. L-type, non- L-type, and T-type Ca2+ channel mRNAs were detected by RT-PCR using degenerate primers. Cloning and sequencing of the PCR products revealed α1B, α1C, α1E, α1G, and α1H sequences. RT-PCR using specific prim ers repeatedly detected α1B, α1C, α1E, α1G, and α1H mRNAs, and additionally α1I mRNA. But α1A and α1D messages were not detected. Relative expression levels of the detected Ca2+ channel subtypes were compared by RNase protection assays. The abundance of detected mRNA messages was in the following order: α1H ≥α1G≥α1E≥α1B>α1C>α1I. These findings indicated that human motile sperm express multiple voltage-activated Ca2+ channel RNAs among which T-type and non-L-type channel messages are likely to be predominantly expressed. Based on their relative expression levels, we propose that not only T-type but also non-L-type calcium channels may be major gates for the external calcium influx, required for the acrosome reaction.
