Project description:We report bulk RNA-sequencing for synchronized adult Sertoli cells in germ cell-sufficient (RFPxAMH-Cre) and germ cell-deficient (NANOS2 KO) mice. We also have single-cell RNA-sequencing data for RFPxAMH-Cre sorted Sertoli cells from unsynchronized adult testes (not included in this series).
Project description: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.

Identification of differentially expressed genes in testis of cx43 KO-mice at developmental stage 8 days post partum when compared with testis of WT-mice
Project description:WIN 18,446/RA treatment of neonatal mice was used to synchronize the initial wave of spermatogenesis and identify novel messages expressed within either germ or Sertoli cells as spermatogonia enter meiosis. germ cell-specific (Stra8-cre: RiboTag; or Ngn3-cre:RiboTag) and Sertoli cell-specific (Amh-Cre: RiboTag)
Project description:GGPPS was the key enzyme of mevalonate metabolic pathway which was used to synthesize the geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP). When we deletion the GGPPS in the sertoli cell and the germ cell loss were found . We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression after GGPPS deletion in sertoli cell and identified 1623 gene expression level change more than 2 times. Primary sertoli cells from 3 days old of control and KO mice for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays, every group primare sertoli cell were from more than 30 mice.
