Androgen receptors (ARs) are expressed in several testicular cell types, but continuing uncertainty exists over which cell type mediates androgen control of spermatogenesis. Androgen signaling via Sertoli cells (SCs) is essential for complete spermatogenesis, but the role for androgen signaling via peritubular myoid (PTM) cells is contentious. To address this controversy, we generated PTMspecific ARknockout (PTMARKO) mice in which gross reproductive development was normal, but all PTMARKO males were azoospermic and infertile. Testis weight was reduced beyond puberty, and in adulthood there was an 86% reduction in germ cells, compared with wildtype littermates. These changes were not explained by any deficits in testosterone, luteinizing hormone, or folliclestimulating hormone concentrations. SC function was impaired in PTMARKO males, indicated by reduced seminiferous tubule fluid production and reduced expression of some androgendependent SC genes. Androgen action via PTM cells is therefore essential for normal testis function, spermatogenesis, and fertility in males. This study also provides the first direct evidence for the importance of androgendriven stromalepithelial interactions underpinning the regulation of spermatogenesis。 體外受精診所,屆時(shí)可以使成千上萬(wàn)的不育男性擁有自己的“基因”兒女。 通過(guò)顯微鏡觀測(cè),科學(xué)家清晰地看到了這種人造精子有頭和尾,并能像正常的精子一樣游動(dòng)。這表明在繁衍后代方面,男性占有主導(dǎo)地位。,Stem Cells and Development doi:10.1089/scd.2009.0063. In Vitro Derivation of Human Sperm from Embryonic Stem Cells Karim Nayernia, Jae Ho Lee, Majlinda Lako, Lyle Armstrong, Mary Herbert, Manyu Li, Wolfgang Engel, David Elliott, Miodrag Stojkovic, John Parrington, Alison Murdoch, Tom Strachan, Xin Zhang Differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to specific cell types can be achieved using methods that mimic in vivo embryonic developmental programs. Human egg and sperm cells (gametes) are derived from a founder population of germline stem cells (GSCs), primordial germ cells (PGCs), that are set aside early in embryogenesis which give raise to gonocytes in males. After birth, gonocytes differentiate to adult male germline stem cells, spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), which can selfrenew and generate sperm cells, are unique stem cells in that they are solely dedicated to transmit genetic information from generation to generation. Understanding the mechanisms of germ cell specification, development and its differentiation to sperm is important for elucidating the causes of male infertility. Here, we developed an in vitro strategy for establishing of male GSCs from human embryonic stem cells. These in vitro derived GSCs express markers which are specific for PGCs, SSCs, meiotic and postmeiotic germ cells indicating maturation of the primordial germ cells to haploid male gametes. In vitro derived germ cells are able to enter meiosis and generate haploid motile spermlike cells in vitro. While full potential of the human ES derived germ cells and sperm remains to be demonstrated, this in vitro modeling of human gametogenesis provides a new approach for studying biology of human germ cells and establishment of therapeutic approaches in reproductive medicine.,第十二頁(yè),共一百零九頁(yè)。 研究表示,未來(lái)甚至可以出現(xiàn)僅由女性構(gòu)成的世界。o)這一過(guò)程 是安全的,就不存在倫理學(xué)上的障礙?!辈贿^(guò)他同時(shí)表示,目前沒(méi)有計(jì)劃用這種精子讓人類(lèi)卵子受精,因?yàn)檫@一行為需要多個(gè)主管部門(mén)的批準(zhǔn)。 不過(guò),科學(xué)家表示,從女性身體中提取并培育出精子將意味著她們只能生女兒,因?yàn)樯泻⑺璧腨染色體只能從男性精子那里獲得。),而且還出現(xiàn)了增殖現(xiàn)象,細(xì)胞的性質(zhì)與功能和胚胎干細(xì)胞相似。,2010121 10:55:11 Nature:同源精子(jīngzǐ)會(huì)抱團(tuán)前進(jìn),美國(guó)哈佛大學(xué)研究人員報(bào)告說(shuō),如果將兩種實(shí)驗(yàn)鼠的精子混合在一起,那么相同來(lái)源的精子就會(huì)利用其頭部的鉤狀物互相(h249。 Among the extraordinary adaptations driven by sperm competition is the cooperative behaviour of spermatozoa1. By forming cooperative groups, sperm can increase their swimming velocity and thereby gain an advantage in intermale sperm competition1, 2. Accordingly, selection should favour cooperation of the most closely related sperm to maximize fitness3. He
