GFRα1+, NGN3+ and KIT+ spermatogonia of adult mouse testes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In adult mouse testis, undifferentiated spermatogonia include GFRα1+ and NGN3+ populations. The former mainly act as self-renewing stem cells that support steady-state spermatogenesis. Whilst, the latter are primed for differentiation, but retain the potential of self-renewal and contribute to regeneration and post-transplantation colony formation (Nakagawa et al. science .2010; Hara et al. cell stem cell. 2014). And, NGN3+ cells can differentiate to KIT+ cells, which are also mentioned differentiated spermatogonia, by retinoic acid signal. The gene expression profiles of GFRα1+, NGN3+ and KIT+ spermatogonia, as well as the whole testis samples, were investigated here by microarray (Ikami et al. development. 2015).
