Reproduction is required for the survival of all mammalian animals. Spermatogenesis is an essential and complex developmental process that ultimately results in production of haploid spermatozoa. Recent studies demonstrated that Boule and stimulated by retinoic acid 8 (Stra8) played important roles in initiation meiosis in male germ cells. miR‐34c is indispensable in the late steps of spermatogenesis; remarkably, the main function of miR‐34c is to reduce cell proliferation potentiality and promote cellular apoptosis. The objectives of this study were to investigate the expression patterns of Boule, Stra8, P53 and miR‐34c in dairy goat testis and their relationship in male germ line stem cells (mGSCs). The results first revealed the expression patterns of Boule, Stra8, P53 and miR‐34c in 30 dpp, 90 dpp and adult testes of dairy goats. The expression levels of Boule, Stra8, P53 and miR‐34c in adult dairy goat testes were significantly higher than that of 30 dpp. Overexpression of Boule and Stra8 promoted the expression of miR‐34c in dairy goat mGSCs. In our previous study, we showed that miR‐34c was P53 dependent in mGSCs. These results have shown that the up‐regulation of miR‐34c was not due to P53 protein activation but which might be caused by the up‐regulation of Boule and Stra8 promoting the advance of meiosis. In addition, we found retinoic acid would decrease the expression of P53 and miR‐34c, however, did not change the expression of c‐Myc greatly. It suggested that the function of driving differentiation of dairy goat mGSCs by retinoic acid might not be caused by P53. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Dazl (deleted in azoospermia-like) is a conserved gene in mammalian meiosis, which encodes RNA binding protein required for spermatocyte meiosis. Up to date, the expression and function of Dazl in the goat testis are unknown. The objectives of this study were to investigate the expression pattern of Dazl in dairy goat testis and their function in male germline stem cells (mGSCs). The results first revealed that the expression level of Dazl in adult testes was significantly higher than younger and immature goats, and azoospermia and male intersex testis. The dairy goat Dazl is highly conserved analysed by several online and bioinformatics software, respectively. Over-expression of Dazl promoted the expression of meiosis-related genes in dairy goat mGSCs. The expression of Stra8 was up-regulated by over-expression of Dazl analysed by Luciferase reporter assay. Taken together, results suggest the Dazl plays an important role in dairy goat spermatogenesis and that over-expression of Dazl may promote Stra8 expression in dairy goat mGSCs.  相似文献

During sequential stages of meiosis, numerous cytoplasmic and nuclear events take place in which many germline and non‐germline genes involved. It is demonstrated that the germline gene Stra8 and synaptonemal complex protein 3 (Scp3) play an important role in the meiosis. Recently, studies showed Msx1, a DNA‐binding protein taking part in the skeletal development, also having a functional attractive factor to Stra8 and Scp3 in the meiosis. In this study, we cloned the gene Msx1 then transfected the Msx1 constructed recombination plasmid, pMsx1‐Ires2‐AcGFP, into the dairy goat germline stem cells (male germline stem cells) and analysed the effects of Msx1 on the expression of Stra8 and Scp3. The results showed that Msx1 could enhance the expression of Stra8 and Scp3 and promote the meiosis in goat testicular cells. Bmp4 activated the expression of Msx1 and Stra8. This study suggests that Msx1 plays an important role in spermatogenesis and meiosis. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Objectives

Recent lines of evidence have indicated that miR‐34c can play important roles in regulation of the cell cycle, cell senescence and apoptosis of mouse and human tumour cells, spermatogenesis, and male germ‐cell apoptosis. However, there is little information on the effects of miR‐34c on proliferation and apoptosis of livestock male germ cells. The dairy goat is a convenient domestic species for biological investigation and application. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of miR‐34c on apoptosis and proliferation of dairy goat male germline stem cells (mGSCs), as well as to determine the relationship between p53 and miR‐34c in this species.

Materials and methods

Morphological observation, miRNA in situ hybridisation (ISH), bromodeoxyuridine staining, flow cytometry, quantitative‐RT‐PCR (Q‐RT‐PCR) and western blotting were utilized to ascertain apoptosis and proliferation of mGSCs, through transfection of miR‐34c mimics (miR‐34c), miR‐34c inhibitor (anti‐miR‐34c), miR‐34c mimics and inhibitors co‐transfected (mixture) compared to control groups.

Results

Results manifested that miR‐34c over‐expression promoted mGSCs apoptosis and suppressed their proliferation. Simultaneously, a variety of apoptosis‐related gene expression was increased while some proliferation‐related genes were downregulated. Accordingly, miR‐34c promoted apoptosis in mGSCs and reduced their proliferation; moreover, expression of miR‐34c was p53‐dependent.

Conclusions

This study is the first to provide a model for study of miRNAs and mechanisms of proliferation and apoptosis in male dairy goat germ cells.

Boule(boll)基因是DAZ基因家族的一个新成员,含有一个RNA结合域和一个DAZ重复域,是人类精子发生减数分裂过程中主要调控因子。为了研究Boule基因结构及其功能,利用生物信,息学方法对Boule蛋白相关结构、相互作用蛋白及其功能进行分析和预测。结果表明,Boule蛋白存在明显的亲水区、疏水区和卷曲螺旋;不存在信号肽、跨膜结构;主要分布在细胞质、细胞核、线粒体中;二级结构以α-螺旋、延伸链、无规则卷曲所组成,并含有非正规二级结构区;作用蛋白主要为CDC25A蛋白.功能域主要包含RRM保守域。Boule蛋白在精子发生过程中第一次减数分裂的生殖细胞中特异性表达,而在减数分裂完全阻滞的睾丸组织中不表达。因此,Boule蛋白功能可能与雄性生殖细胞减数分裂相关基因表达有关。  相似文献

生殖细胞的发生、增殖和分化是生命科学领域研究的重要课题之一. 生殖是所有动物赖以生存的基础,精子发生是完成繁殖所必须经历的过程,其最终目的是源源不断地产生单倍体精子.精子发生过程本身是一个复杂特殊的细胞增殖与分化过程,其中减数分裂是精子发生最重要的步骤,但关于减数分裂如何精确起始的分子机制仍知之甚少.已有报道发现,维甲酸(RA)调控Stra8可能是哺乳动物减数分裂起始的机制之一,Nanos2、Boule对RA-Stra8通路具有重要的调控作用. 本文对哺乳动物精子发生中减数分裂起始的相关研究进展进行综述.  相似文献

The glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) inhibitor, 6-bromoindirubin-3′-oxime (BIO), is a key regulator of many signaling pathways to maintain pluripotency of human and mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, the effect of BIO on derivation of dairy goat male germline stem cells (mGSCs) remains unclear. The objectives of this study were to investigate whether BIO influences derivation of dairy goat mGSCs. Dairy goat mGSCs were cultured in mTeSR containing BIO medium and its effects on the proliferation ability of goat mGSCs (derived from goats ≤2 mo of age) were evaluated by 5-Bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation and alkaline phosphatase (AP) staining. Furthermore, its effects on maintenance of the undifferentiated state of mGSCs in late passages of cultures, as well as the capacity of mGSCs to differentiate into embryoid bodies (EBs) were examined. The presence of BIO increased the mitosis index and the number of AP positive colonies, as well as expression of pluripotent markers, Oct4, Nanog, Sox2, C-myc, Klf4, E-cadherin, and the proliferative markers, Pcna and C-myc. In contrast, there was no significant change in expression of apoptosis markers, P53, P21 and cyclin-related genes (Cyclin A, CDK2, Cyclin D1), as determined by RT-PCR analysis. When mGSCs were cultured in mTeSR medium containing BIO, EBs were formed, which were capable of further differentiating into various cell types found in the three embryonic germ layers, as determined by immunofluorescence and/or histologic staining. In conclusion, adding BIO to cultures BIO significantly promoted establishment of goat mGSC colonies and maintained their undifferentiated state.  相似文献
