Identifying the metabolome of human seminal plasma (HSP) is a new research area to screen putative biomarkers of infertility. This case-control study was performed on HSP specimens of 15 infertile patients with teratozoospermia (defined as normal sperm morphology < 4%) and 12 confirmed fertile normozoospermic men as the control group to investigate the seminal metabolic signature and whether there are differences in the metabolome between two groups. HSPs were subjected to LC-MS-MS analysis. MetaboAnalyst5.0 software was utilized for statistical analysis. Different univariate and multivariate analyses were used, including T-tests, fold change analysis, random forest (RF), and metabolite set enrichment analysis (MSEA). Teratozoospermic samples contained seventeen significantly different amino acids. Upregulated metabolites include glutamine, asparagine, and glycylproline, whereas downregulated metabolites include cysteine, γ-aminobutyric acid, histidine, hydroxylysine, hydroxyproline, glycine, proline, methionine, ornithine, tryptophan, aspartic acid, argininosuccinic acid, α-aminoadipic acid, and β-aminoisobutyric acid. RF algorithm defined a set of 15 metabolites that constitute the significant features of teratozoospermia. In particular, increased glutamine, asparagine, and decreased cysteine, tryptophan, glycine, and valine were strong predictors of teratozoospemia. The most affected metabolic pathways in teratozoospermic men are the aminoacyl-tRNA, arginine, valine-leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis. Altered metabolites detected in teratozoospermia were responsible for various roles in sperm functions that classified into four subgroups as follows: related metabolites to antioxidant function, energy production, sperm function, and spermatogenesis. The altered amino acid metabolome identified in this study may be related to the etiology of teratozoospermia, and may provide novel insight into potential biomarkers of male infertility for therapeutic targets.
