NYD-SP15: a novel gene potentially involved in regulating testicular development and spermatogenesis
By hybridizing human adult testis cDNA microarrays with human adult and embryo testis cDNA probes, we identified a novel human testis gene, NYD-SP15. NYD-SP15 expression was 3.26-fold higher in adult than in fetal testis; however, there was almost no NYD-SP15 expression in the sperm. NYD-SP15 comprises 3364 base pairs, including a 1545 bp open reading frame encoding a 514 amino acid protein possessing 89% sequence identity with the mouse testis homologous protein. NYD-SP15 is located on human chromosome 13q14.2. The deduced structure of the protein contains two dCMP_cyt_deam domains, indicating a potential functional role for zinc ion binding. The gene is expressed variably in a wide range of tissues, with high expression levels in the testis. Sequence analysis revealed that NYD-SP15 is not a highly conserved protein, with its distribution in high-level species such as vertebrates including Homo, Mus, Rattus, and Canis. The results of semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction in mouse testis representing different developmental stages indicate that NYD-SP15 expression was developmentally regulated. These results suggest the putative NYD-SP15 protein may play an important role in testicular development and spermatogenesis and may be an important factor governing male infertility. 相似文献

By hybridizing human adult testis cDNA microarrays with human adult and embryo testis cDNA probes, we identified a novel human
testis gene, NYD-SP15. NYD-SP15 expression was 3.26-fold higher in adult than in fetal testis; however, there was almost no NYD-SP15 expression in the sperm. NYD-SP15 comprises 3364 base pairs, including a 1545 bp open reading frame encoding a 514 amino acid protein possessing 89% sequence
identity with the mouse testis homologous protein. NYD-SP15 is located on human chromosome 13q14.2. The deduced structure of the protein contains two dCMP_cyt_deam domains, indicating
a potential functional role for zinc ion binding. The gene is expressed variably in a wide range of tissues, with high expression
levels in the testis. Sequence analysis revealed that NYD-SP15 is not a highly conserved protein, with its distribution in high-level species such as vertebrates including Homo, Mus, Rattus, and Canis. The results of semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction in mouse testis representing different developmental stages indicate
that NYD-SP15 expression was developmentally regulated. These results suggest the putative NYD-SP15 protein may play an important role in testicular development and spermatogenesis and may be an important factor governing
male infertility.

Angiogenesis plays an important role in bone development and postnatal bone fracture repair. Vascular endothelial growth factor
(VEGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) are primarily involved in angiogenesis. This study investigated
the expression of VEGF isoforms, VEGFR-1, and VEGFR-2 during the osteoblastic differentiation of cultured human periosteal-derived
cells. In addition, the effect of exogenous VEGF on the osteoblastic differentiation of cultured human periosteal-derived
cells was also examined. The expression of the VEGF isoforms (VEGF121, VEGF165, VEGF189, and VEGF206), VEGFR-1, and VEGFR-2 was observed in the periosteal-derived cells. Administration of KRN633, a VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 inhibitor,
decreased the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity during the osteoblastic differentiation of cultured human periosteal-derived
cells. However, the administration of VEGFR2 Kinase Inhibitor IV, a VEGFR-2 inhibitor, did not affect the ALP activity. The
addition of recombinant human VEGF165 elevated the ALP activity and increased the calcium content in the periosteal-derived cells. Treating the periosteal-derived
cells with recombinant human VEGF165 resulted in an increase in Runx2 transactivation in the periosteal-derived cells. These results suggest that exogenous VEGF
stimulates the osteoblastic differentiation of cultured human periosteal-derived cells and VEGF might act as an autocrine
growth factor for the osteoblastic differentiation of cultured human periosteal-derived cells. 相似文献
