试验旨在研究视黄醇结合蛋白4（retinol binding protein 4,RBP4）基因在绵羊性成熟前和性成熟后附睾中的表达水平,探讨其在绵羊生殖机能调控方面的作用。以绵羊性成熟前和性成熟后附睾为材料,采用实时荧光定量PCR方法检测RBP4基因mRNA在绵羊性成熟前、后附睾中表达量的差异,采用免疫组化技术检测RBP4基因在绵羊性成熟前、后附睾头和附睾尾中蛋白的表达水平。结果显示,RBP4基因在绵羊附睾中性成熟前的表达量为1.3368,性成熟后的表达量为0.6450,虽然二者间的表达量差异不显著（P>0.05）,但性成熟前的表达量高于性成熟后的表达量。RBP4蛋白在性成熟前、后附睾头上皮层、平滑肌层、组织间质中均有阳性表达,主要位于上皮细胞质、平滑肌细胞质;在附睾尾上皮层、组织间质中有阳性表达,主要位于上皮细胞质。推测RBP4基因可能与附睾主细胞分泌功能和附睾头处的收缩功能有关,预示RBP4可能参与附睾微环境的调控,有利于精子成熟、运动和储存。 相似文献

The epididymis is the site of post-testicular sperm maturation, which constitutes the acquisition of sperm motility and the ability to recognize and fertilize oocytes. The role of miRNA in male reproductive system, including the control of different steps leading to proper fertilization such as gametogenesis, sperm maturation and maintenance of male fertility where the deletion of Dicer in mouse germ cells led to infertility, has been demonstrated. The identification of miRNA expression in a region-specific manner will therefore provide valuable insight into the functional differences between the regions of the epididymis. In this study, we employed RNA-seq technology to explore the expression pattern of miRNAs and establish some miRNAs of significant interest with regard to epididymal sperm maturation in the CY epididymis. We identified a total of 431 DE known miRNAs; 119, 185 and 127 DE miRNAs were detected for caput versus corpus, corpus versus cauda and caput versus cauda region pairs, respectively. Our results demonstrate region-specific miRNA expression in the CY epididymis. The GO and KEGG enrichment for the predicted target genes indicated the functional values of miRNAs. Furthermore, we observed that the expression of miR-200a was downregulated in the caput, compared with cauda. Since the family of miR-200 has previously been suggested to contribute to the distinct physiological function of sperm maturation in epididymis of adult rat, we speculate that the downregulation of miR-200a in CY caput epididymis may play an important role of sperm maturation in the epididymis of CY. Therefore, our findings may not only increase our understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulated by the miRNA functions in region-specific miRNA expression in the CY epididymis, it could provide a valuable information to understand the mechanism of male infertility of CY. 相似文献

Background
During epididymal transit, functional and structural modifications leading to full maturation enable male gametes to reach, recognize and fertilize the oocytes. In dogs, little is known on the modifications of spermatozoa during the passage in the epididymis. The aim of this study was to describe the motility, morphology and acrosomal patterns of canine spermatozoa retrieved from the epididymis caput, corpus and cauda.Results
After the dilution required for the collection of epididymal content, sperm motility was significantly higher (P <0.0001) in the cauda compared to corpus and caput.Proportions of spermatozoa with normal morphology were significantly higher in corpus (P =0.02) and cauda (P <0.0001) compared to caput. Overall morphological abnormalities of the head and neck/midpiece were similar in the three different epididymal regions. A significantly increased prevalence of tail defects, mainly represented by single bent tails, was observed in the corpus compared to caput (P <0.0001) and cauda (P =0.006).Numbers of immature sperm with cytoplasmic droplets decreased from the proximal to the distal region of the epididymis. Particularly, proximal cytoplasmic droplets were more frequently found in spermatozoa collected from the caput epididymis than in the corpus (P <0.0001) and in the cauda (P <0.0001), whereas the occurrence of distal cytoplasmic droplets was higher in the corpus than in the caput (P =0.0003) and in the cauda (P <0.05).Significantly higher proportions of spermatozoa with intact acrosomes were retrieved from the cauda epididymis than from the caput (P =0.03) and the corpus (P =0.008). This difference was mainly due to a lower proportion of spermatozoa with abnormal acrosomes (mainly swollen acrosomes) rather than with absent acrosomes.Conclusions
Canine spermatozoa undergo several modifications in the epididymis. The acquisition of progressive motility, migration of the cytoplasmic droplet and acrosomal reshaping lead to mature spermatozoa which are then stored in the cauda epididymis. From this site, spermatozoa can be retrieved and used in assisted reproductive techniques as a valuable tool for propagating genetic traits of high value individuals that dies accidentally or undergoes orchiectomy for medical purposes. Further investigations should be also focused on the potential use of spermatozoa recovered from other epididymal regions. 相似文献16.

Cross sections of the testes and the caput, corpus and cauda epididymides removed from 12 dogs were stamped on glass slides, and the sperm on the slides were stained with 6 different FITC-lectins (Con A, DBA, PNA, PSA, SBA, and WGA) to examine the characteristics of the surface glycoproteins (GPs) on canine epididymal sperm. The corpus epididymal sperm were washed three times by centrifugation, and their lectin-binding characteristics were investigated. The washed sperm from the corpus and cauda epididymides were incubated for 24 hr, and the fertilizing capacity of the sperm was evaluated by calculating the percentages of actively motile sperm (%MO), hyperactivated sperm (%HA), and acrosome-reacted sperm (%AR), and the number of canine zona-pellucida (ZP)-binding sperm. The testicular sperm did not stain with SBA lectin, but the SBA lectin fluorescence was observed on the surface of the entire heads of the caput epididymal sperm. Although all of the entire heads or acrosomal regions of the corpus epididymal sperm stained with all 6 FITC-lectins, the heads and acrosomal regions of the cauda epididymal sperm did not stain with DBA or SBA lectins. Washing the sperm from the corpus epididymis resulted in loss of the fluorescence of the FITC-DBA and -SBA lectins. The mean %MO, %HA, %AR, and ZP-binding number of the cauda epididymal sperm after 24 hr of incubation were higher than the values for the corpus epididymal sperm. All of the mean values for the washed sperm from the corpus and cauda epididymides were higher than the values for the unwashed sperm from the corpus and cauda, and with the exception of %AR, the values from the washed sperm from the corpus epididymis were significantly higher (P<0.05, 0.01). The results indicate that DBA- and SBA-lectin-binding GPs on the surface of canine epididymal sperm are associated with the fertilizing capacity and may be decapacitation factors. 相似文献

All epididymal regions are lined with multiple epithelial cell types, each with different functions to provide the luminal environment for spermatozoal maturation. Epithelial cells also create apical blebs, which are released from the apical surface via apocrine secretion and disintegrate in the lumen, thereby releasing epididymosomes. Epididymosomes transport proteins to spermatozoa and contain microRNAs. We hypothesized that epididymosomes also transfer miRNA from epididymal epithelium to spermatozoa. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to determine miRNA profiles of epididymal tissue from caput and cauda, epididymal spermatozoa from caput and cauda, and epididymosomes and from caput, proximal corpus, distal corpus, and cauda. Pathway analysis was performed using DIANA tools on the miRNA unique to caudal spermatozoa. We found 66 newly acquired miRNAs in spermatozoa located in the caudal epididymis. Predicted pathways targeted by these miRNAs suggest a role in cell motility and viability and factors in oocyte and embryo maturation and development. These findings suggest that miRNAs are transported to spermatozoa from epididymal epithelium via epididymosomes. 相似文献

To describe the distribution of the histological regions and their morphometry during epididymal development, 10 Corriedale lambs were castrated monthly from 90 to 180 days of age (n = 24), and their testes and epididymides were weighed. All animals were weighed monthly. Epididymides were divided into caput, corpus and cauda, and cut sagitally so that sections included all the length of the organ. The diameter of the epididymal duct, the smooth muscle depth and the epididymal epithelium height were measured. The quantitative histology of the ovine epididymal development was described. Epididymal development advanced from caput to cauda. The distribution of the histological regions varied according to epididymal weight. Transient histological regions were found during epididymal development. The present results indicate a new way of epididymal development in sheep, which courses from caput to cauda with transient histological regions appearing, varying in location and disappearing during ovine epididymis development. 相似文献
