Project description:The androgen receptor is a steroid receptor belonging to the superfamily of hormone-activated transcriptional factors, displaying distinct expression profiles in Sertoli cells during testis development, tightly correlated to the stages of spermatogenesis.The aim of the project was to better understand the AR signaling pathways, and identify androgen regulated genes in a mature Sertoli cell line (ST38c). In order to identify androgen regulated candidate genes we compared the gene expression of mature Sertoli cells (ST38c) in the absence (condition B) and in the presence of a androgenic ligand, dihydrotestosterone (condition ST). In order to understand the AMH gene repression in mature Sertoli cells, which occurs at puberty, soon after the augmentation of the AR expression, we also compared the gene profile of an immature, not expressing the androgen receptor, prepubertal Sertoli cell line (SMAT1-condition A) with the mature Sertoli cell line (ST38c- condition C), expressing the androgen receptor. The Sertoli cell line SMAT1 has been obtaiend from a 6-day old transgenic male mouse (using the targeted oncogenesis SV40). This cell line has been kindly provided to us by Dr Jean Yves Picard (UMR 782), Universite Paris Sud. (Dutertre M, et al., Mol Cell Endocrinol. 1997 Dec 31;136(1):57-65. PMID 9510068).The Sertoli cell line ST38c was obtained in the INSERM U-693 from 8-wk-old male murine testis; from a transgenic mouse carrying the construct in which the SV40 large T Antigen (TAg) was placed under the control of the human vimentin promoter. The development and description of this new cell line have not yet been published.

Project description:The Wilms tumor gene, Wt1, is specifically expressed in Sertoli cells (SCs) which support spermatogenesis. Germ cell loss was found in Wt1 knockout mice. In vitro studies demonstrated that Wt1 was essential for cell polarity maintenance in SCs. We used Digital Gene Expression Tag Profiling to detail the global programme of gene expression after Wt1 deletion in sertoli cell and identified 710 gene expression level change more than 2 times. Digital Gene Expression Tag Profiling analysis were performed using mRNA from control and Wt1-deficient Primary Sertoli cells, every group primare sertoli cell were from more than 30 mice.

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. 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, a spermatogenic cell apoptosis was observed. The Sertoli cells that provide the physical and nutritional support for the spermatogenic cells were isolated and alterations in gene expression examined. Over 400 genes were differentially expressed in the F3 generation control versus vinclozolin lineage Sertoli cells. A number of specific signaling pathways and cellular processes 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 in the vinclozolin F3 generation Sertoli cell. 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 then has a role in the 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.

Project description:Heterozygous point mutations or genomic deletions of NR0B1 in Xp21.2 result in congenital adrenal hypoplasia and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, whereas the NR0B1 locus duplications in XY individuals lead to gonadal dysgenesis and a male-to-female dosage-sensitive sex reversal. We previously reported an ~ 257 kb deletion mapping 11 kb upstream to NR0B1 in a XY female with primary amenorrhea, small immature uterus, and gonadal dysgenesis pointing to an alteration of its regulatory region. To identify the potential regulatory elements of NR0B1, we have analyzed its 2 Mb flanking regions using chromosome conformation capture-on-chip (4C) in Sertoli cells and lymphoblasts. We confirm the involvement of the previously proposed regulatory region in the control of NR0B1 expression and describe several novel potential chromatin interactions within the NR0B1 locus that may be involved in sex differentiation. Custom designed 3x720K tiling microarrays covering 4 Mb region (chrX:28,082,100-32,087,100) flanking NR0B1 gene of interest

Project description:Protein phosphatase 6 (PP6) is a member of the PP2A-like subfamily, which plays significant roles in numerous fundamental biological activities. We found that PPP6C plays important roles in male germ cells recently. Spermatogenesis is supported by the Sertoli cells in seminiferous epithelium. In this study, we crossed Ppp6cF/F mice with AMH-Cre mice to gain mutant mice with specific depletion of the Ppp6c gene in the Sertoli cells. We discovered that the PPP6C cKO male mice were absolutely infertile and germ cells were largely lost during spermatogenesis. By combing phosphoproteome with bioinformatics analysis, we showed that the phosphorylation status of β-catenin at S552 (a marker of adherens junctions) was significantly upregulated in mutant mice. Abnormal β-catenin accumulation resulted in impaired testicular junction integrity, thus led to abnormal structure and functions of BTB. Taken together, our study reveals a novel function for PPP6C in male germ cell survival and differentiation by regulating the cell-cell communication through dephosphorylating β-catenin at S552.

Project description:Although decades of research have established that androgen is essential for spermatogenesis, androgen’s mechanism of action remains elusive. This is in part because only a few androgen-responsive genes have been definitively identified in the testis. Here, we report that microRNAs—small, noncoding RNAs—are one class of androgen-regulated trans-acting factors in the testis. Specifically, by using androgen suppression and androgen replacement in mice, we show that androgen regulates the expression of several microRNAs in Sertoli cells. Our results reveal that several of these microRNAs are preferentially expressed in the testis and regulate genes that are highly expressed in Sertoli cells. Because androgen receptor–mediated signaling is essential for the pre- and postmeiotic germ cell development, we propose that androgen controls these events by regulating Sertoli/germ cell–specific gene expression in a microRNA-dependent manner.

Project description:9-day-old Sertoli cells have a stronger proliferative activity compared with 21-day-old Sertoli cells. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during this process. Rat Sertoli cell were selected at postnatal day 9 and postnatal day 21 for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain the differentially expressed genes that were involved in cell proliferation, cell cycle, and cell death which were associated with the function of Sertoli cell.
