Due to its wide application in cancer treatment, the reduction of its damage to normal tissue is an imminent clinical need. Cisplatin-induced testicular oxidative stress and damage lead to male sub- or infertility. Despite earlier studies showing that the natural polyphenol extracts honokiol serve as the free radical scavenger that reduces the accumulation of intracellular free radicals, whether honokiol exhibits direct effects on the testis and sperm is unclear. Thus, the aim of the current study is to investigate the direct effects of honokiol on testicular recovery and sperm physiology.Methods: We encapsulated this polyphenol antioxidation compound into liposome-based nanoparticles (nHNK) and gave intraperitoneally to mice at a dosage of 5 mg/kg body mass every other day for consecutive 6 weeks.Results: We showed that nHNK promotes MDC1-53bp1-associated non-homologous DNA double-strand break repair signaling pathway that minimizes cisplatin-induced DNA damage. This positive effect restores spermatogenesis and allows the restructuring of the multi-spermatogenic layers in the testis. By reducing mitochondrial oxidative damage, nHNK also protects sperm mitochondrial structure and maintains both testicular and sperm ATP production. By a yet-to-identify mechanism, nHNK restores sperm calcium influx at the sperm midpiece and tail, which is essential for sperm hypermotility and their interaction with the oocyte.Discussion: Taken together, the nanoparticulated antioxidant counteracts cisplatin-induced male fertility defects and benefits patients undertaking cisplatin-based chemotherapy. These data may allow the reintroduction of cisplatin for systemic applications in patients at clinics with reduced testicular toxicity.Keywords: nanomedicine, antioxidant, cisplatin, reproduction, DNA repair, polyphenol
