摘要

Spermatogenesis, which is regulated by multiple cell death mechanisms, is an extremely complex process. The significance of cell death during spermatogenesis is a topic of interest because of its potential medical implications. Cuproptosis is a new mechanism of cell death discovered in recent years, and recent studies have preliminarily confirmed that cuproptosis is involved in the process of spermatogenic cell death, but its specific role in the process of spermatogenic cell death is still unclear. In this review, the mechanisms of spermatogenic cell death associated with cuproptosis and the effects of key genes of cuproptosis on spermatogenesis are discussed together with some new perspectives for the study of spermatogenic cell death.
