(Submitter supplied) To unravel the molecular mechanisms mediating the effects of androgens on spermatogenesis, testicular gene expression was compared in mice with a Sertoli cell-selective androgen receptor knockout (SCARKO) and littermate controls on postnatal d 10. At this age testicular cell composition is still comparable in SCARKOs and controls. Microarray analysis identified 692 genes with significant differences in expression. more...

(Submitter supplied) Spermatogenesis is dependent primarily on testosterone action on the Sertoli cells. Although the identification of testosterone-regulated target genes in Sertoli cells has been approached using microarray analysis to compare gene expression in mice with androgen receptor (AR) elimination in the Sertoli cells (SCARKO) and wild type mice, the analysis has been complicated by alteration of germ cell composition of the testis when pubertal or adult mice were used and differences in Sertoli-cell gene expression from those in adult when prepubertal mice were used. more...

(Submitter supplied) Rhox5, the founding member of the reproductive homeobox on the X chromosome (Rhox) gene cluster, encodes a homeodomain-containing transcription factor that is selectively expressed in Sertoli cells, where it promotes the survival of male germ cells. To identify Rhox5-regulated genes, we generated 15P-1 Sertoli cell clones expressing physiological levels of Rhox5 from a stably transfected expression vector. more...

(Submitter supplied) Although decades of research have established that androgen is essential for spermatogenesis, androgen’s mechanism of action remains elusive. This is in part because only a few androgen-responsive genes have been definitively identified in the testis. Here, we report that microRNAs—small, noncoding RNAs—are one class of androgen-regulated trans-acting factors in the testis. Specifically, by using androgen suppression and androgen replacement in mice, we show that androgen regulates the expression of several microRNAs in Sertoli cells. more...

(Submitter supplied) We combine synchronization of spermatogenesis, cytological analyses and single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) in the Sertoli cell androgen receptor knockout (SCARKO) mutant and control mice, and demonstrate that SCARKO mutant spermatocytes exhibited normal expression and localization of key protein markers of meiotic prophase events, indicating that initiation of meiotic prophase is not androgen dependent, whereas scRNA-seq analysis revealed a molecular transcriptomic block in an early meiotic prophase state (leptotene/zygotene) in mutant germ cells, and identified several misregulated genes in SCARKO Sertoli cells, many of which have been previously implicated in male infertility.

(Submitter supplied) We introduced a full-length human AR into the expression vector pcDNA 6.2 C-EmGFP and transfected AR-deficient rat Sertoli cells (93RS2) by electroporation. We compared gene expression levels of AR-deficient Sertoli cell line (93RS2_noAR) and a full-length-human-AR transfected Sertoli cell line (93RS2_AR17) using microarray analysis.

(Submitter supplied) Infertility observed in adult Sertoli cell (SC)-specific Connexin 43 Knockout-mice rather seems to be an effect of the disturbed SC-Germ cell (GC) crosstalk than a direct consequence of the loss of Cx43 protein in SC with important GC specific genes being mostly affected by this deletion.

(Submitter supplied) This is a study to explore the transcriptional changes after Adjudin treatment in adult rat testes at three time points (control, 8 hour and 4 day). Adjudin, [1-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-1H-indazole-3-carbohydrazide], is a potential male contraceptive that targets the Sertoli-germ cell interface and causes germ cell depletion from the seminiferous epithelium. Adjudin has been proved to be a useful model to study the mechanisms that regulate junction restructuring in the testis. more...

Analysis of testis from Sprague-Dawleys 8 hours or 4 days after Adjudin treatment. Adjudin targets the Sertoli-germ cell adherens junction and causes germ cell depletion from the seminiferous epithelium.

(Submitter supplied) Spermatogonial stem cells are quiescent, undergo self-renewal or differentiating divisions, thereby forming the cellular basis of spermatogenesis. This cellular development is orchestrated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), through the production of Sertoli cell-derived factors, and by Leydig cell-released androgens. Here, we investigate the transcriptional events induced by Fsh in a steroid-independent manner on the restart of zebrafish (Danio rerio) spermatogenesis ex vivo, using testis from adult males where type A spermatogonia were enriched by estrogen treatment in vivo. more...

(Submitter supplied) The rete testis (RT) is a region of the mammalian testis which plays an important role in testicular physiology. The RT epithelium consists of cells sharing some well-known gene markers with supporting Sertoli cells (SCs). However, little is known about the differences in gene expression between these two cell populations. Here, we used fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to obtain pure cultures of neonatal RT cells and SCs and identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between these cell types using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).
