为了认识己烯雌酚(DES)对幼年雄性香猪睾丸生殖细胞和支持细胞数的影响,将20只20~25日龄幼年雄性香猪分成4组,对照组只注射生理盐水,试验组连续9d(每天1次)经腹腔分别注射不同剂量(0.03、0.3、3mg·kg-1)己烯雌酚后,最后一次注射24h后取左侧睾丸,入40g·L-1多聚甲醛固定24h,常规制备5μm石蜡切片,用免疫组织化学方法对睾丸支持细胞特异性蛋白生长转录因子4(GATA4)进行检测。显微镜下分别计数支持细胞和生殖细胞数,并统计分析。结果发现:己烯雌酚用量为0.3和3mg·kg-1能促使睾丸生殖细胞数显著增多(P0.05);而使睾丸支持细胞数量显著减少(P0.05);首次发现DES能促进幼年香猪睾丸生殖细胞增殖而抑制其支持细胞增殖。DES的作用因细胞类型不同而有所不同,但其机制还需进一步研究。  相似文献

为了探索降低内源性雌激素对幼年雄性香猪睾丸生殖细胞和支持细胞的影响,将12头14日龄幼年雄性香猪分成3组,对照组不作任何处理,试验组连续15次(每3天1次)经口投喂不同剂量(0.1 mg/kg、0.2 mg/kg)来曲唑,最后一次投喂7天后取右侧睾丸,采用免疫组织化学法对睾丸支持细胞特异性蛋白生长转录因子4(GATA4)进行检测。结果发现:来曲唑用量为0.1、0.2 mg/kg都导致睾丸支持细胞数显著增多(P0.05);而使睾丸生殖细胞数量显著减少(P0.05);同时,也发现来曲唑用量为0.2 mg/kg组的睾丸支持细胞数量显著高于0.1 mg/kg组(P0.05)。结果发现降低内源性雌激素后幼年香猪睾丸支持细胞增殖而生殖细胞数减少,说明内源性雌激素在睾丸支持细胞和生殖细胞的生长和分化成熟过程中有不同的影响,具体作用机制仍待进一步深入研究。  相似文献

试验旨在探究初情期前后生精上皮周期差异及睾丸发育过程中的形态学变化。通过测定15、30、60和90 d睾丸相关指数,结合睾丸组织形态学特征,判断香猪初情期,划分从江香猪生精上皮周期。结果显示,30 d的睾丸指数较15 d极显著升高(P0.01),睾丸重、长轴及短轴的增长率分别为298.05%、66.42%和65.45%,60和90 d两个阶段睾丸重增长率相对稳定。形态学观察表明,从江香猪30 d时生精小管出现游离精子,完成第一次生精并进入初情期;与15 d相比,30 d生精小管面积和生精上皮厚度极显著增加(P0.01),增长率分别为136.12%和40.19%,在60和90 d均处于稳定增长状态。睾丸细胞数统计显示,日龄增加不影响支持细胞(setoli cells,SC)数量(P0.05),而30 d生殖细胞数(germ cells,GC)较15 d极显著增加(P0.01)。相关分析结果发现,生殖细胞数量增加与生精小管面积增大、生精上皮厚度变化之间呈明显正相关(r=0.994;0.96)。根据生殖细胞组合形式差异,将初情期前后生精上皮分为3和8个阶段。初情期前生殖细胞以第一次减数分裂前期为主,A、B型精原细胞、SC、初级精母细胞(primary spermatocyte,Ps)、前细线期(preleptotene,PI)、细线期(leptotene,L)等生殖细胞在初情期前后生精上皮中均存在,而圆形精子(round spermatids,R)、延伸精子(elongating spermatid,E)、精子细胞(spermatozoa,S)仅存在于初情期后的生精上皮。本研究结果表明,从江香猪30 d初情,睾丸发育以生殖细胞和生精小管面积的迅速增加为主,该结果对从江香猪早熟性状挖掘、种猪选育及开发利用等有重要的指导意义。  相似文献

为探讨来曲唑对香猪睾丸细胞波形蛋白表达及分布的影响,试验将14日龄、体重3 kg的12头雄性香猪随机分为3组,对照组不做任何处理,试验组分别经口投喂0.1、0.2 mg/kg来曲唑,每3 d投喂1次,连续投喂15次,最后一次投喂7 d后取左侧睾丸,应用免疫组织化学方法检测波形蛋白在香猪睾丸细胞中的表达与分布。结果表明:波形蛋白在睾丸生精小管细胞胞浆中表达,试验组睾丸生精小管细胞总数较对照组减少(P0.01);而波形蛋白表达细胞阳性率上升(P0.01),且随着来曲唑剂量的增加而增加(P0.01)。来曲唑可通过降低雌激素水平来调节睾丸生精小管细胞数及波形蛋白表达,说明来曲唑可能促进了香猪睾丸生精小管细胞中波形蛋白的表达,进而影响睾丸生精小管细胞的生长发育,但其作用机制机理还需进一步研究。  相似文献

为了解贵州香猪不同发育阶段睾丸肥大细胞(MC)数量的变化情况,试验采用外科手术法取出30,40,50,60,90,110日龄(每个日龄段3~4头)香猪右侧睾丸,卡洛氏液固定,石蜡包埋处理并作5μm厚连续切片,用改良甲苯胺蓝(MTB)染色法观察睾丸发育过程中MC的形态和数量变化。结果表明:90日龄前香猪睾丸MC数量随日龄增加而增多,到90日龄时MC数量达到最多,而110日龄时MC数量减少,极显著低于50,60,90日龄睾丸中MC数量(P<0.01)。说明性成熟(90日龄)前香猪睾丸MC数量增多,而性成熟后MC数量减少,这种变化规律有利于睾丸的发育和精子的生成,但其作用机制还需进一步研究。  相似文献

Repro22 is an N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-induced mutation in mice showing depletion of both male and female germ cells. In the present study, we investigated the male phenotypes of the mutant mouse at the adult stage. The repro22/repro22 homozygous mice showed reduced body weights as well as markedly reduced testis weights. Histological examination of the testes at 4 and 10 months of age showed no germ cells in the seminiferous tubules of the affected testis while a number of Sertoli cells were observed in the tubules. In addition to the germ cell depletion, the testes of the affected mouse contained expanded intertubular spaces that were filled by Leydig cell-like interstitial cells. These interstitial cells were confirmed to be Leydig cells by immunohistochmical staining using anti-3beta-HSD antibody. The estimated number of Leydig cells in the affected testes at 10 months of age increased approximately 2 fold compared with those of normal testes. Furthermore, the plasma testosterone levels of the affected mice at 10 months of age were significantly higher than those of the normal mice. These findings indicated that the repro22/repro22 mouse developed hyperplasia of Leydig cells that was presumably caused by the absence of germ cells in the seminiferous tubules.  相似文献

Mixed germ cell sex cord-stromal tumors (MGSCTs) of the testis are rare in dogs. We describe the histopathology and immunohistochemical characteristics of an MGSCT associated with a Leydig cell tumor in a cryptorchid testis. Histologically, MGSCT consisted of two nodules of seminiferous tubules lined by germ cells and Sertoli cells in variable proportions. Germ cells had variable size and nuclear features, with frequent giant cells. Germ cells were evenly mixed with Sertoli cells or located in the center of tubules. Markers that labeled mainly germ cells and few or no Sertoli or Leydig cells were calretinin, KIT, and PGP 9.5. E-cadherin, GATA-4, inhibin-alpha (INH-alpha), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) were predominantly detected in Sertoli cells, whereas melan A was particularly expressed in Leydig cells and vimentin in all three cell types. OCT3/4 was not detected in any cell type. Although more cases of canine MGSCT need to be examined, our results suggest that an immunohistochemical panel of E-cadherin, GATA-4, INH-alpha, KIT, NSE, PGP 9.5, and melan A will help distinguish the three main cell types in canine testicular germ cell and sex cord-stromal tumors.  相似文献

Spermatogonial stem cell transplantation is a technique that has potential in livestock to enhance genetic gain and generate transgenic offspring through the male germ line. A means for depletion of endogenous germ cells in a recipient's seminiferous tubules is necessary for this technology to be applied. The objectives of this study were to evaluate several methods for depletion of endogenous germ cells in the testes of adult rams and to evaluate ultrasound-guided injections into the rete testes as a means for infusing a suspension into the seminiferous tubules. Sixteen adult rams were randomly divided into 4 treatment groups (n = 4 per group). Treatments consisted of active immunization against LHRH (IMM), localized testicular irradiation (IR), LHRH immunization + irradiation (IMM+IR), and untreated control. Serial bleedings were conducted pretreatment and monthly after treatment for 4 mo, at which time all rams were castrated. Both IMM and IMM+IR rams received exogenous gonadotropin in the form of Perganol weekly for 8 wk before castration to bypass the immunization. All rams also received an ultrasound-guided injection of PBS containing 0.4% trypan blue into the rete testis of one testicle before castration. Rams receiving IMM and IMM+IR treatments had higher (P < 0.05) average percentages of seminiferous tubule cross sections with depleted germ cells compared with controls. Serum testosterone was decreased (P < 0.05) in IMM and IMM+IR rams 1 mo after treatment and throughout the remainder of the study compared with controls and IR rams, which were not different from each other. Serum inhibin concentration was unchanged in all rams following treatment indicating that Sertoli cell function was unaltered. A greater (P < 0.05) average percentage of the total testicular area could be filled with the trypan blue solution by rete testis injection in IMM and IMM+IR rams. These data demonstrate the depletion of endogenous germ cells in adult ram testes without alteration of Sertoli cell viability and function that have potential as methods for preparing recipient animals for germ cell transplantation.  相似文献

Sertoli cells are the only somatic cells in the seminiferous epithelium which directly contact with germ cells. Sertoli cells exhibit polarized alignment at the basal membrane of seminiferous tubules to maintain the microenvironment for growth and development of germ cells, and therefore play a crucial role in spermatogenesis. Androgens exert their action through androgen receptor (AR) and AR signalling in the testis is essential for maintenance of spermatogonial numbers, blood–testis barrier integrity, completion of meiosis, adhesion of spermatids and spermiation. In the present study, we demonstrated that AR gene could promote the proliferation of immature porcine Sertoli cells (ST cells) and the cell cycle procession, and accelerate the transition from G1 phase into S phase in ST cells. Meanwhile, miR-124a could affect the proliferation and cell cycle procession of ST cells by targeting 3′-UTR of AR gene. Furthermore, AR bound to the RNF4 via AR DNA-binding domain (DBD) and we verified that RNF4 was necessary for AR to regulate the growth of ST cells. Above all, this study suggests that AR regulates ST cell growth via binding to RNF4 and miR-124a, which may help us to further understand the function of AR in spermatogenesis.  相似文献

Immunohistochemical study of osteopontin in boar testis   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
The expression of osteopontin (OPN) in boar testis was studied. Western blot analysis detected 66- and 32-kDa OPN immunopositive bands in the testes of adult boars. In postnatal piglets, the 66-kDa OPN band was detected in the testes, but not the 32-kDa band. In the newborn testis, OPN immunostaining was seen in gonocytes and in some supporting cells in the seminiferous tubules, as well as in interstitial Leydig cells. In the adult boar testis, OPN immunoreactivity was detected in seminiferous tubules with varying intensities. Intense OPN immunostaining was seen in the residual bodies and acrosomes in the spermatids while, occasionally, OPN immunostaining was seen in spermatogonia and various stage of spermatocytes but in few Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules. In addition, Leydig cells in adult boars were weakly immunostained with OPN. These findings suggest that OPN is detected in the majority of germ cells and is involved in spermatogenesis in boar testis.  相似文献

The present study demonstrates the postnatal developmental changes in immunohistochemical localization of alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA) and vimentin in the bovine testis. In the peritubular myoid cells of seminiferous tubules and the sub-epithelial and stromal cells of straight tubules and the rete testis, alpha-SMA starts appearing at around 4 months of age. Peritubular alpha-SMA attains the continuous mature pattern at around 5 months of age whereas sub-epithelial and stromal alpha-SMA increases with advancing age. Vimentin is localized in the perinuclear zone of Sertoli cells, peritubular and vascular wall cells, a few interstitial cells, and in the basal part of the epithelia of straight and rete tubules. Developmental changes are only evident in the Sertoli cell vimentin, which is basal and weak at birth and increases moderately until 4 months of age. From around 5 to 8 months of age when the Sertoli cells are under morphological transformation, vimentin intensity is considerably increased and the characteristic vimentin extensions connect the Sertoli nuclei to the basal membrane. These extensions get shorter at around 9 month of age as the Sertoli nuclei are positioned basally. The mature Sertoli cell perinuclear vimentin is strong and stable without infranuclear extension. In conclusion, the age of appearance of alpha-SMA coincides with the onset of postnatal division of spermatogonia, and vimentin may play a key role in stabilizing Sertoli cell nuclei during their transformation in bovine.  相似文献

试验旨在研究成纤维生长因子22(fibroblast growth factor 22,FGF22)及其受体2(fibroblast growth factor receptor 2,FGFR2)、硫酸乙酰肝素糖蛋白(heparan sulfate proteoglycans,HSPG)在庆阳黑山羊正常睾丸与隐睾中的分布与表达,探究其在山羊睾丸发育和隐睾形成中的作用。采用HE和特殊染色观察其组织学结构特征,进而以免疫组织化学及免疫荧光法结合形态计量学统计研究FGF22、FGFR2和HSPG在山羊正常睾丸及隐睾中的定位。结果表明,山羊隐睾较正常睾丸生精小管缩窄,腔内各级生精细胞排列紊乱,间质的胶原纤维和网状纤维增多,糖原类物质阳性反应较弱,FGF22在隐睾组织的Leydig、Sertoli细胞、管周肌样细胞及血管内皮细胞整体表达密度相较于正常睾丸显著减弱(P<0.05)。HSPG在正常睾丸表达显著强于隐睾(P<0.05),间质组织变化尤其明显。FGFR2在隐睾组表达显著增高(P<0.05),且以Sertoli细胞强阳性表达为主。庆阳黑山羊隐睾较正常睾丸发育异常,间质组织有纤维化趋势,糖原类物质含量减少;FGF22及HSPG表达降低应与隐睾局部环境温度变化密切相关;FGFR2在隐睾组表达增高提示其在发生隐睾时可能通过Sertoli细胞进行适应性调节。  相似文献
