Project description:Despite timely and successful surgery, 32% of patients with bilateral and 10% with unilateral cryptorchidism will develop azoospermia. Cryptorchid boys at risk of azoospermia display a typical testicular histology of impaired mini-puberty at the time of the orchidopexy. During mini-puberty increased gonadotropin and testosterone secretion stimulate transformation of gonocytes into Ad spermatogonia. In azoospermia risk group this transformation is to a great extent impaired. This study aimed to analyze data on whole genome expression signatures of undescended testes at risk of developing azoospermia. Twenty-three testicular biopsies from 22 boys were analyzed (19 testes from 18 boys with cryptorchidism) and 4 contralateral descended testes from patients with testicular agenesis. Expression profiling identified 483 genes not or under-expressed in the azoospermia risk group compared with the control and LAZR groups. Annotated loci were associated with spermatogenesis. Other significant genes were cellular defense response genes and hormone controlled loci involved in spermatogenesis. Some genes transcribed in normal adult meiotic and post-meiotic germ cells are activated in healthy juvenile Ad spermatogonia. Thus, molecular events initiating the testicular expression program at the onset of puberty and maintaining it during adulthood occur very early in prepubertal testes. This molecular event is to a great extent impaired in HAZR group lacking Ad spermatogonia (stem cells for spermatozoa) indicating impaired mini puberty.

Project description:In mammals, spermatogenesis plays a critical role in upholding the genetic stability of the male germline; however, disruptions such as viral and bacterial infections, toxic damage, genetic mutations, or deletions can disturb the delicate equilibrium of the testicular microenvironment, ultimately resulting in impaired spermatogenesis and male infertility. One key protein involved in this process is UCHL1, which possesses deubiquitinating enzyme, multiple ligases, and hydrolase activities. In addition to its roles in maintaining neuronal activity and memory function in the brain, UCHL1 is also implicated in spermatogenesis. Nevertheless, the precise mechanism by which it sustains metabolic homeostasis during spermatogenesis remains unclear. To investigate this, we generated Uchl1_KO mice and subjected their testes to snRNA-seq and metabolomics sequencing. Our analysis revealed that Uchl1_KO mice exhibited abnormal spermatogenesis, decreased testicular OXHPOS levels, and disrupted ADIPONECTIN signaling, concomitant with heightened inflammatory signaling and disturbances in lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis in the testes. These findings suggest that Uchl1 plays a crucial role in spermatogenesis by modulating energy and metabolic pathways within the testes to maintain orderly spermatogenesis. This study contributes to the understanding of the energy and metabolic balance required for successful male spermatogenesis.

Project description:In humans, the most common sex chromosomal disorder is Klinefelter syndrome (KS), caused by the presence of one or more extra X-chromosomes. The KS patients display a diverse adult phenotype with increased height, gynaecomastia, and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism as the most common symptoms. Men with KS are almost always infertile due to testicular degeneration, which accelerates during puberty. Very few studies investigated the global gene expression analysis of adult KS testes and, more importantly, which cell types the differentially expressed transcripts originate from. Transcriptome analysis by RNA sequencing of fixed and paraffin embedded testes originating from 3 adult KS samples and 3 adult cellularity-matched controls revealed 236 differentially expressed transcripts in the adult KS testis. To examine the cellular origin of the differentially expressed transcripts, transcriptome profiling was also carried out on 4 testes with Sertoli Cell-Only and 4 testes with full spermatogenesis. Also, pre-pubertal KS and controls were RNA-sequenced.

Project description:In mammalian testes, a valve-like structure called Sertoli valve is located at the border region of the seminiferous tubule and the rete testis. Having identified Sox17 in the rete testis as a positive regulator of the valve formation, this study aim to elucidate the mechanism of Sox17-expressing rete testis to modulate the testicular homeostasis. Our scRNA-seq data demonstrate the altered gene expression levels of several growth factors in Sox17-depleted rate testis epithelia, and highlighted the altered proportion of Sertoli cells located around the proximal part of the testis. This study provides a comprehensive profile of the proximal part of the testis including the rete testis and Sertoli valve for the first time, and further illustrate the functional role of the Sox17+ rete tesits to orchestrate the testicular homeostasis.

Project description:Sheep testes undergo a dramatic rate of development with structural changes during sexual maturity, including the proliferation and maturation of somatic niche cells and the initiation of spermatogenesis. To explore this complex process, 12,843 testicular cells from three sexual maturity (3 month-old) rams were sequenced using 10x Genomic platform single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq).Nine testicular somatic cell types and five male germ cell types were observed.The study revealed significant changes in germline stem cells during sexual maturation. Candidate factors and pathways for the regulation of germ and somatic cell development were identified that represent the scientific basis for the development of a livestock stem cell breeding program.

Project description:Background: Production of functional sperms from spermatogonial stem cells in vitro is important for understanding of biological mechanisms underlying physiological spermatogenesis and for treatment of male infertility. However, comparing with the in vivo testes, in vitro spermatogenesis is severely lower efficiency. Here we describe abnormalities occurring in early stage of in vitro spermatogenesis at single cell resolution. Results: While spermatogenesis was similarly progressed between in vivo and in vitro-cultured testes, noticeable acute inflammatory response occurred right after in vitro culture of neonatal testes not only in immune cells but also non-immune testicular somatic cells. Inhibitor treatment revealed NLRP3 inflammasome signaling is key to the inflammation occurring in in vitro cultured testes We also found accumulation of damaged/dead germ cells in in vitro cultured testes, which may be due to dysfunction of sertoli cell phagocytosis. Conclusion: Our data revealed tissue-wide sterile inflammation occurring in in vitro cultured testes, in which DAMPs - NLRP3 inflammasome axis may key element. Thus, these abnormal testicular microenvironments may be a cause of low spermatogenesis efficiency of in vitro spermatogenesis.

Project description:Spermatogenesis is a complex cell differentiation process that includes marked genetic, cellular functional and structural changes. It requires tight regulation, since disturbances in any of the spermatogenic stages would lead to fertility deficiencies. In order to increase our knowledge of signal transduction during sperm development, we carried out a large-scale identification of the phosphorylation events that occur in the human gonad. Metal oxide affinity chromatography using TiOx combined with LC-MS/MS was conducted to profile the phosphoproteome of human testes with full spermatogenesis. A total of 8187 phosphopeptides derived from 2661 proteins were identified, resulting in the most complete report of human testicular phosphoproteins to date. Phosphorylation events were enriched in proteins functionally related to spermatogenesis, as well as to highly active processes in the male gonad, such as transcriptional and translational regulation, cytoskeleton organization, DNA packaging, cell cycle and apoptosis. Moreover, 174 phosphorylated kinases were identified. The most active and abundant human protein kinases in the testis were predicted both by the phosphorylation status of the kinase activation loop and the number of phosphopeptide spectra identified. The potential function of two of those kinases, cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) and p21-activated kinase 4(PAK4), has been explored by protein-protein interaction analysis, immunodetection in human and mouse testicular tissue, and functional assay in a human embryonal carcinoma cell line. The co-localization of CDK12 with Golgi markers and probably pro-acrosomal vesicles suggests a potential crucial role of this protein kinase in sperm formation. PAK4 expression has been found limited to human spermatogonia, and a role in embryonal carcinoma cell response to apoptosis has been observed. Together, our data confirm that phosphoregulation by protein kinases is highly active in sperm differentiation, and open a window to detailed characterization and validation of potential targets for the development of drugs modulating male fertility, and tumor behavior.
