Endocrine and local signaling interact to regulate spermatogenesis in zebrafish: Follicle-stimulating hormone, retinoic acid and androgens

ABSTRACT: After an acclimatization period with increasing temperature (from 27 to 35⁰C; ~1⁰C increment/day), adult zebrafish males were exposed to 35⁰C for 14 days and injected with the cytostatic agent busulfan (single intraperitoneal injection after 7 days at 35⁰C; 40 mg/Kg). Then, fish were placed back to normal water temperature and testis samples collected at different time points. Morphological analysis of testicular samples showed maximum germ cell depletion 10 days post busulfan injection (i.e. 10 dpi) and the recovery of endogenous spermatogenesis ~14 dpi. Total RNA was isolated from (1) testes of untreated adult control zebrafish, (2) germ cell-depleted, and (3) testis tissue at the beginning of the recovery period, and selected samples were used for library preparation
