Recombinant human OSM strongly activated both STAT1 and STAT3 in HconEpiCs and induced various tissue remodeling-related genes, including MMP-1, MMP-3, IL-24, IL-20, serpinB3, S100A7, tenascin C, and SOCS3. Our results suggest that OSM is one of the key molecules involved in remodeling of giant papillae in VKC. Our results suggest that OSM is one of the key molecules involved in remodeling of giant papillae in VKC. There are limited genes known to cause primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD)-associated asthenozoospermia. In the present study, we aimed to expand the spectrum of mutations in PCD and to provide new information for genetic counseling diagnoses and the treatment of male infertility in PCD. One sterile patient with typical situs inversus was recruited to our center, and semen sample was collected. We performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) on the patient to identify the pathogenic mutations associated with PCD and used transmission electron microscopy to investigate spermatozoal ultrastructure. In addition, western blotting and immunofluorescence staining were used to confirm the untoward impact of the variant on the expression of LRRC6, as well as on the dynein arm proteins in the patient's spermatozoa. We identified a homozygous nonsense variant c.749G>A (p.W250*) of LRRC6 in the PCD patient. This variant severely impaired LRRC6 expression and further led to negative effects on dynein arm protein expressi with PCD. Does IDEF mapping help monitor the technical process of IUI and explore the potential improvements which might contribute to increased pregnancy and live birth rates? Retrospective analysis of 1729 homologous IUI cycles of couples attending a fertility clinic in a university hospital setting. Standardized conventional semen parameters were analyzed and the semen samples prepared via
