Project description:Pituitary hormones can use local signaling molecules to regulate target tissue functions. In adult zebrafish testes, follicle-stimulating hormone (Fsh) strongly increases the production of insulin-like 3 (Insl3), a Leydig cell-derived growth factor found in all vertebrates. Little information is available regarding Insl3 function in adult spermatogenesis. The Insl3 receptors Rxfp2a and 2b were expressed by type A spermatogonia and Sertoli and myoid cells, respectively, in zebrafish testis tissue. Loss of insl3 increased germ cell apoptosis in males starting at 9 months of age, but spermatogenesis appeared normal in fully fertile, younger adults. Insl3 changed the expression of 409 testicular genes. Among others, retinoic acid (RA) signaling was up- and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (Pparg) signaling was down-regulated. Follow-up studies showed that RA and Pparg signaling mediated Insl3 effects, resulting in the increased production of differentiating spermatogonia. This suggests that Insl3 recruits two locally active nuclear receptor pathways to implement pituitary (Fsh) stimulation of spermatogenesis.

Project description:Testis tissue was incubated under basal conditions for 2 days to allow for the assumed decrease of endogenous Insl3 production, then added exogenous, recombinant zebrafish Insl3 peptide (100 ng/mL) and continued the incubation for another 2 days, before collecting the tissue for analysis of gene expression

Project description:MafB is a transcription factor acts as an important regulator of the development and differentiation of various organs and tissues. MafB is expressed in sertoli, leydig, and germ cells in adult mice testis. However, analysis of MafB cKO mice testis showed that MAFB is required for the initiation of the first spermatogenic wave but not the subsequent waves. We examined the transcriptome profile of MafB-cKO Sertoli cells during the first spermatogenic wave. Results of the down-regulated genes revealed that some genes are direct targets of MAFB since the presence of MARE sites in their promoters. Thus, they are candidates of maintaining MAFB function in sertoli cells.

Project description:Environmental toxicants have been shown to induce the epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of adult onset disease, including testis disease and male infertility. The current study was designed to determine the impact of an altered sperm epigenome on the subsequent development of an adult somatic cell (Sertoli cell) that influences the onset of a specific disease (male infertility). A gestating female rat (F0 generation) was exposed to the agriculture fungicide vinclozolin during gonadal sex determination and then the subsequent F3 generation progeny used for the isolation of Sertoli cells and assessment of testis disease. As previously observed, enhanced spermatogenic cell apoptosis was observed. The Sertoli cells provide the physical and nutritional support for the spermatogenic cells. Over 400 genes were differentially expressed in the F3 generation control versus vinclozolin lineage Sertoli cells. A number of specific cellular pathways were identified to be transgenerationally altered. One of the key metabolic processes affected was pyruvate/lactate production that is directly linked to spermatogenic cell viability. The Sertoli cell epigenome was also altered with over 100 promoter differential DNA methylation regions (DMR) modified. The genomic features and overlap with the sperm DMR were investigated. Observations demonstrate that the transgenerational sperm epigenetic alterations subsequently alters the development of a specific somatic cell (Sertoli cell) epigenome and transcriptome that correlates with adult onset disease (male infertility). The environmentally induced epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of testis disease appears to be a component of the molecular etiology of male infertility.

The environmentally induced epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of testis disease appears to be a component of the molecular etiology of male infertility. The isolated Sertoli cell populations from three different groups of animals that were ancestrally exposed to vinclozolin during days 8-14 (E8-14) of fetal development and cell isolates were used to obtain Sertoli cell RNA and DNA from F3 generation control and vinclozolin lineages. The control and vinclozolin lineage Sertoli cell DNA was used in a methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) and genome wide promoter tiling array (Chip) analysis (MeDIP-Chip). Three different comparative (amplified MeDIP vs. amplified MeDIP) hybridizations experiments included in three sub-arrays were performed by Nimblegen. Each comparative hybridization experiment contained one biological replicate of Sertoli cell Whole Genome Amplified-MeDIP-DNA sample from each lineage-treatment.

Project description:Environmental toxicants have been shown to induce the epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of adult onset disease, including testis disease and male infertility. The exposure of a gestating female during the period of gonadal sex determination has been shown to promote sperm epimutations, differential DNA methylation regions (DMR), that transmit transgenerational disease to subsequent generations.

Project description:To determine the involvement of Copy Number Variants (CNVs) in the origin of male infertility, patients with idiopathic severe oligozoospermia, Sertoli-cell-only syndrome and controls with normozoospermia were analysed by array CGH using the 244A/400K array sets (Agilent Technologies). Comparison of 89 infertile male patients with severe oligozoospermia (≤5 x Mill./ml sperm concentration and ≤10 Mill. total sperm count) and 37 with azoospermia due to complete, bilateral Sertoli-cell-only syndrome (SCOS) with 100 healthy controls with normal semen parameters (≥20 Mill./ml sperm concentration, ≥40 Mill. total sperm count, ≥2 ml semen volume, ≥50% of a+b or ≥25% a motility, high percentage of normal forms (≥10%)). Patients with recurring, patient-specific and mostly private, sex-chromosomal CNVs (29 with OAT and 17 with SCOS) are reported as possibly causing spermatogenic failure.

Project description:Spermatogenesis requires the presence of functional somatic Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis. Sertoli cells provide support and factors necessary for the successful progression of germ cells into spermatozoa. Sertoli cells are regulated to a large degree by the glycoprotein hormone FSH, which is required for the testis to acquire full size and spermatogenic capacity. Signaling events initiated by the binding of FSH to its receptor lead to an alteration of Sertoli cell gene expression. To characterize the changes in gene expression in FSH-treated Sertoli cells, we used the mRNA from these cells to screen Affymetrix U34A rat GeneChip oligonucleotide microarrays. Sertoli cells from 20-d-old rats were cultured in the presence of 25 ng/ml ovine FSH. At 0, 2, 4, 8, and 24 h after the addition of FSH, total RNA was purified and used to prepare biotinylated target, which was hybridized to the U34A rat microarray containing approximately 9000 rat genes. Analysis identified 100-300 transcripts at each time point that were up-regulated or down-regulated by 2-fold or greater. Genes previously reported to be FSH or cAMP regulated in rat Sertoli cells were identified, in addition to numerous genes not reported to be expressed or FSH regulated in Sertoli cells. The expression patterns of five of these genes, encoding nerve growth factor inducible gene B, PRL-1, PC3 nerve growth factor-inducible antiproliferative putative secreted protein, diacylglycerol acyltransferase, and an expressed sequence tag, in FSH- and N,O'-dibutyryl cAMP-treated rat Sertoli cells were confirmed and characterized by Northern blot analysis. Thus, we have begun to define the transcriptome induced and repressed by FSH in rat Sertoli cells, and we have generated datasets of genes available for further analysis in regard to spermatogenesis and Sertoli cell signaling.

Project description:Non -obstructive azoospermia (NOA) affects 1% of men. However, the unknowns of NOA pathogenesis and even normal spermatogenic microenvironment establishment severely limit the clinical efficacy of NOA treatment. We profiled > 80,000 human testicular single-cell transcriptomes from 10 healthy donors spanning the range from infant to adult and 7 NOA patients. Sertoli cells, which form the scaffold in the testicular microenvironment, exhibited the most obvious damages in NOA patients. We identified roadmap of Sertoli cell maturation. Notably, Sertoli cells of patients with congenital causes (Klinefelter syndrome and Y chromosome microdeletions) are mature but with abnormal immune response, while the cells in idiopathic NOA (iNOA) are basically physiologically immature. Furthermore, inhibition of Wnt signaling promotes the maturation of Sertoli cells from iNOA patients, allowing these cells to regain their ability to support germ cell survival. We provide a novel perspective for the development of diagnostic methods and therapeutic targets for NOA.
