小鼠睾丸发育全过程的组织学观察   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
为系统观察小鼠睾丸组织发育过程,将生后1~57d处于不同发育时期的17组昆明种正常小鼠睾丸组织制备石蜡切片、进行H.E染色分析。结果表明:小鼠生后初期睾丸曲细精管中只有支持细胞和原始生精细胞;至生后8d时出现B型精原细胞;15d时出现初级精母细胞;23d时出现次级精母细胞及少量圆形精子细胞,此后圆形精子细胞逐渐增多;30d时圆形精子细胞发生变态;36d时大量精子开始稳定出现于曲细精管管腔中,并延续至此后各期。这意味着小鼠生精细胞在出生后经过一个相对连续的发育分化过程,至生后约36d发育成熟。这为细化小鼠睾丸组织发育和精子发生过程提供了详细资料。  相似文献

绒山羊曲细精管生殖细胞的长期培养和精子发生过程的观察   总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10  
哺乳动物精子发生过程是生殖生物学的重要研究课题之一.为了开展对山羊精子发生过程的研究,我们首次建立了绒山羊睾丸生殖细胞原代培养方法.原代生殖细胞和支持细胞(Sertolicells)由绒山羊睾丸曲细精管组织块产生,在体外共培养超过三个月.在共培养期间,观察到绒山羊的精原干细胞分化为精母细胞和精子细胞的形态变化过程.这一方法的建立为山羊精子发生过程的研究和应用打下了基础.实验结果显示,在没有添加任何生长因子的条件下,绒山羊睾丸生殖细胞长期增生分化,不断产生精子细胞.这一结果暗示了组织块和共生的支持细胞为生殖细胞的增生和分化提供了营养因子和调节因子.生成的游离精子细胞最后全部死亡,暗示这一共培养体系不能提供变态过程所需因子.  相似文献

以中华绒螯蟹为材料,应用凝集素印迹法检测中华绒螯蟹生精细胞中的花生凝集素受体.以凝集素组织化学技术为手段,采用生物素标记的花生凝集素对中华绒螯蟹精子发生过程中花生凝集素受体进行了标记,研究精子发生过程中花生凝集素受体的分布特征.结果表明,中华绒螯蟹生精细胞中的花生凝集素受体的分子质量为72 ku;精子发生过程中,不同的生精细胞膜有不同程度的阳性标记.精原细胞质膜上有较强的阳性标记,呈深棕色;精母细胞的质膜阳性标记减少;精细胞与精母细胞染色程度相似.PNA受体在生精细胞中分布,可能与生殖细胞发育以及生殖细胞之间或者生殖细胞与体细胞之间的信息传递有关.精子质膜、顶体区域也有阳性标记,这可能与精卵识别及结合等受精过程息息相关.  相似文献

动物实验研究表明AF-2364是一种很有潜力的男性避孕药候选化合物.这一化合物通过干扰精子细胞与支持细胞间的黏附功能,可逆地诱导精母细胞以及精细胞从生精上皮丢失,但不影响精原细胞,从而导致给药大鼠不育.一旦药物代谢完成,精原细胞可重新开始精子发生,动物即可恢复生育能力.AF-2364能引起细胞骨架肌动蛋白的聚集和解聚,导致支持细胞与精子细胞间黏附功能降低,最后使未成熟精母细胞和精子细胞从生精上皮丢失.其机制可能是先激活整联蛋白/层粘连蛋白复合体及睾丸素,然后激活下游RhoB/ROCK/LIM激酶/肌动蛋白素或FAK/PI3激酶/p130Cas/MAP激酶通路.此外,AF-2364是一种较强的囊性纤维跨膜传导调节因子(CFTR)抑制剂,具有显著的抗生育作用,其作用可能是通过干扰CFTR通道活性,影响生殖道的体液微环境,从而影响精母细胞发育,精子细胞在附睾内成熟以及精子获能和顶体反应.探索AF-2364在男性生殖系统中作用的分子机制,对开发新一代男性避孕药具有重要意义.  相似文献

Actin can be found in all kinds of eukaryotic cells, maintaining their shapes and motilities, while its dynamics in sperm cells is understood less than their nonmuscle somatic cell counterparts. Spermatogenesis is a complicated process, resulting in the production of mature sperm from primordial germ cell. Significant structural and biochemical changes take place in the seminiferous epithelium of the adult testis during spermatogenesis. It was proved that all mammalian sperm contain actin, and that F-actin may play an important role during spermatogenesis, especially in nuclear shaping. Recently a new model for sperm head elongation based on the acrosome-acroplaxome-manchette complex has been proposed. In Drosophila, F-actin assembly is supposed to be very crucial during individualization. In this mini-review, we provide an overview of the structure, function, and regulation characteristics of actin cytoskeleton, and a summary of the current status of research of actin-based structure and movement is also provided, with emphasis on the role of actins in sperm head shaping during spermiogenesis and the cell junction dynamics in the testis. Research of the Sertoli ectoplasmic specialization is in the spotlight, which is a testis-specific actin-based junction very important for the movement of germ cells across the epithelium. Study of the molecular architecture and the regulating mechanism of the Sertoli ectoplasmic specialization has become an intriguing field. All this may lead to a new strategy for male infertility and, at the same time, a novel idea may result in devising much safer contraception with high efficiency. It is hoped that the advances listed in this review would give developmental and morphological researchers a favorable investigating outline and could help to enlarge the view of new strategies and models for actin dynamics during spermatogenesis.  相似文献

Sperm from neonatal mammalian testes grafted in mice   总被引:41,自引:0,他引:41  
Spermatogenesis is a productive and highly organized process that generates virtually unlimited numbers of sperm during adulthood. Continuous proliferation and differentiation of germ cells occur in a delicate balance with other testicular compartments, especially the supporting Sertoli cells. Many complex aspects of testis function in humans and large animals have remained elusive because of a lack of suitable in vitro or in vivo models. Germ cell transplantation has produced complete donor-derived spermatogenesis in rodents but not in other mammalian species. Production of sperm in grafted tissue from immature mammalian testes and across species has not yet been accomplished. Here we report the establishment of complete spermatogenesis by grafting testis tissue from newborn mice, pigs or goats into mouse hosts. This approach maintains structural integrity and provides the accessibility that is essential for studying and manipulating the function of testes and for preserving the male germ line. Our results indicate that this approach is applicable to diverse mammalian species.  相似文献

目的精子发生是一个包括有丝分裂和减数分裂的精细调控过程,这一过程是从精原干细胞开始在雄性睾丸的曲细精管中完成的,由哺乳动物雌雄性比例接近1∶1这一现象可以推知:受精时带X基因的精子和带Y基因的精子比率应该是1∶1,但事实上精子发生的过程中,分化出来的X、Y精子的比例是否也为1∶1并不清楚,因为精子发生过程中并不是所有细胞都能最终形成精子,然而要研究雌雄出生比率就需要先研究精子本身是否严格地按照1∶1形成,因此本实验通过建立快速可靠原位PCR技术平台为进一步研究精子发生的调控过程提供支持。步骤用HSL基因优化荧光原位PCR实验方案,包括蛋白酶K作用时间和浓度,原位PCR前先对精子进行解聚,再用SRY基因对精子进行原位PCR鉴定。结果在荧光显微镜下可清楚地看到精子头部的荧光信号,头部有绿色荧光信号的精子为带有SRY基因的Y染色体精子(Y精子),实验检测到昆明小鼠精子共493个,有信号的共273个,X∶Y=55.37%,经卡方检验,X精子与Y精子的实验结果趋近于1∶1。结论可利用荧光原位PCR技术在单细胞水平快速鉴定精子"性别",理论上可用于任何细胞的任何基因的鉴定。  相似文献

Tyro-3 family receptors are essential regulators of mammalian spermatogenesis   总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15  
We have generated and analysed null mutations in the mouse genes encoding three structurally related receptors with tyrosine kinase activity: Tyro 3, Axl, and Mer. Mice lacking any single receptor, or any combination of two receptors, are viable and fertile, but male animals that lack all three receptors produce no mature sperm, owing to the progressive death of differentiating germ cells. This degenerative phenotype appears to result from a failure of the tropic support that is normally provided by Sertoli cells of the seminiferous tubules, whose function depends on testosterone and additional factors produced by Leydig cells. Tyro 3, Axl and Mer are all normally expressed by Sertoli cells during postnatal development, whereas their ligands, Gas6 and protein S, are produced by Leydig cells before sexual maturity, and by both Leydig and Sertoli cells thereafter. Here we show that the concerted activation of Tyro 3, Axl and Mer in Sertoli cells is critical to the role that these cells play as nurturers of developing germ cells. Additional observations indicate that these receptors may also be essential for the tropic maintenance of diverse cell types in the mature nervous, immune and reproductive systems.  相似文献

This work investigated the spermatogenesis in an infertility BALB/c-nu mouse model by reinfusing germline stem cells into seminiferous tubules. Donor germ cells were isolated from male FVB/NJ-GFP trensgenic mice. Seminiferous tubule microinjection was applied to achieve intratubular germ cell transfer. The germ cells were injected into exposed testes of the infertility mice. We used green fluorescence and DNA analysis of donor cells from GFP transgenic mice as genetic marker. The natural mating and Southern blot methods were applied to analyze the effect of sperm cell transplantation and the sperm function after seminiferous tubule microinjection. The spermatogenesis was morphologically observed from the seminiferous tubules in 41/60 (68.33%) of the injected recipient mice using allogeneic donor cells. In the colonized testes, matured spermatozoa were seen in the lumen of the seminiferous tubules. In this research, BALB/c-nu infertility mouse model, the recipient animal, was used to avoid immunological rejection of donor cells, and germ cell transplantation was applied to overcome infertility caused by busulfan treatment. These results demonstrate that this technique of germ cell transplantation is of great use. Germ cell transplantation could be potentially valuable to oncological patients.  相似文献

Spermatogenesis is one of the most complex and longest processes of sequential cell proliferation and differentiation in the body, taking more than a month from spermatogonial stem cells, through meiosis, to sperm formation. The whole process, therefore, has never been reproduced in vitro in mammals, nor in any other species with a very few exceptions in some particular types of fish. Here we show that neonatal mouse testes which contain only gonocytes or primitive spermatogonia as germ cells can produce spermatids and sperm in vitro with serum-free culture media. Spermatogenesis was maintained over 2?months in tissue fragments positioned at the gas-liquid interphase. The obtained spermatids and sperm resulted in healthy and reproductively competent offspring through microinsemination. In addition, neonatal testis tissues were cryopreserved and, after thawing, showed complete spermatogenesis in vitro. Our organ culture method could be applicable through further refinements to a variety of mammalian species, which will serve as a platform for future clinical application as well as mechanistic understanding of spermatogenesis.  相似文献
