Translational activation of developmental mRNAs during neonatal mouse testis development

ABSTRACT: The sequence of gene regulatory events that drive neonatal germ cell development in the mammalian testis is not yet clear. We assessed changes in mRNA utilization in the neonatal testis at 1 and 4 dpp, times when the testis contains quiescent gonocytes (1 dpp) and proliferating spermatogonia (4 dpp). There are not thought to be major changes in the nature or number of somatic cells over that interval. We used microarrays to detail the global expression levels of mRNA distribution between non-translating mRNAs and efficiently translating mRNAs during testis development at 1 dpp and 4 dpp Extracts of mouse testes from 1 dpp and 4 dpp CD-1 mice were fractionated over a sucrose gradient in triplicate. Gradients were fractionated using an ISCO gradient fractionation system equipped with a UA-6
