Here, we report that Src homology domain tyrosine phosphatase 2 (Shp2; encoded by the protein tyrosine phosphatase, nonreceptor type 11 [Ptpn11] gene) is abundant in spermatogonia but markedly decreases in meiotic spermatocytes. Conditional knockout of Shp2 in spermatogonia in mice using stimulated by retinoic acid gene 8 (Stra8)-cre enhanced spermatogonial differentiation and disturbed the meiotic process. Depletion of Shp2 in spermatogonia caused many meiotic spermatocytes to die; moreover, the surviving spermatocytes reached the leptotene stage early at postnatal day 9 (PN9) and the pachytene stage at PN11-13. In preleptotene spermatocytes, Shp2 deletion disrupted the expression of meiotic genes, such as disrupted meiotic cDNA 1 (Dmc1), DNA repair recombinase rad51 (Rad51), and structural maintenance of chromosome 3 (Smc3), and these deficiencies interrupted spermatocyte meiosis. In GC-1 cells cultured in vitro, Shp2 knockdown suppressed the retinoic acid (RA)-induced phosphorylation of extracellular-regulated protein kinase (Erk) and protein kinase B (Akt/PKB) and the expression of target genes such as synaptonemal complex protein 3 (Sycp3) and Dmc1. Together, these data suggest that Shp2 plays a crucial role in spermatogenesis by governing the transition from spermatogonia to spermatocytes and by mediating meiotic progression through regulating gene transcription, thus providing a potential treatment target for male infertility."],"journal":["Asian journal of andrology"],"pagination":["79-87"],"full_dataset_link":["https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC6958991"],"repository":["biostudies-literature"],"pubmed_title":["The role of tyrosine phosphatase Shp2 in spermatogonial differentiation and spermatocyte meiosis."],"pmcid":["PMC6958991"],"pubmed_authors":["Yi J","Lu ZX","Li Y","Tian YP","Li CJ","Wang HB","Kong SB","Liu WS","Ding JC","Zhao YN","Feng GS","Liu W"],"additional_accession":[]},"is_claimable":false,"name":"The role of tyrosine phosphatase Shp2 in spermatogonial differentiation and spermatocyte meiosis.","description":"The transition from spermatogonia to spermatocytes and the initiation of meiosis are key steps in spermatogenesis and are precisely regulated by a plethora of proteins.
