A Unique Cytoplasmic Marker for Extratesticular Sertoli Cells

Cell Transplantation, 2002
In the absence of a definitive cell marker for testis-derived Sertoli cells, their identification in cell culture or in Sertoli cell-facilitated cell transplantation protocols is difficult and limits the creditable evaluation of experimental results ...

A Human Gonadal Cell Model From Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
Sertoli cells are main players in the male gonads development and their study may shed light on 46,XY disorders of sex development (DSD). Mature primary Sertoli cells are incapable of proliferating in prolonged in vitro cultures and the available Sertoli

Fibroblast growth factor-5 promotes spermatogonial stem cell proliferation via ERK and AKT activation

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2019
Background Sertoli cells are the most important somatic cells contributing to the microenvironment (named niche) for spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). They produce amounts of crucial growth factors and structure proteins that play essential roles in the ...

PRC1 suppresses a female gene regulatory network to ensure testicular differentiation

Cell Death and Disease, 2023
Gonadal sex determination and differentiation are controlled by somatic support cells of testes (Sertoli cells) and ovaries (granulosa cells). In testes, the epigenetic mechanism that maintains chromatin states responsible for suppressing female sexual ...

Accumulation of Seminolipid in Sertoli Cells Is Associated with Increased Levels of Reactive Oxygen Species and Male Subfertility: Studies in Aging Arsa Null Male Mice

Antioxidants, 2021
Seminolipid (also known as sulfogalactosylglycerolipid-SGG), present selectively in male germ cells, plays important roles in spermatogenesis and sperm–egg interaction. The proper degradation of SGG in apoptotic germ cells is also as important.

The ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 mediates lipid efflux from Sertoli cells and influences male fertility

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
The liver X receptor/retinoid X receptor (LXR/RXR)-regulated gene ABCA1 effluxes cellular cholesterol and phospholipid to apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1), which is the rate-limiting step in high-density lipoprotein synthesis.

Sertoli Cell Line Lacks the Immunoprotective Properties Associated with Primary Sertoli Cells

Cell Transplantation, 2008
Sertoli cells are important for maintenance of the immune privileged environment of the testis and prolong survival of cotransplanted cells. The objective of the current study was to examine the immunoprotective properties of a mouse Sertoli cell line ...

The Expression of TLR2 and TLR3 in Sertoli Cells of Azoospermic Patients

Cell Journal, 2017
Objective: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) on Sertoli cells are thought to have essential roles in sperm protection. This study was conducted to investigate the expression of TLR2 and TLR3 in Sertoli cells of men with azoospermia. Materials and Methods: In

The role of estrogen receptors in rat Sertoli cells at different stages of development

Heliyon, 2020
The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of estrogen receptors (ESR1 and ESR2) on the expression of the proteins involved with proliferation (CCND1) and differentiation (CDKN1B and CTNNB) of Sertoli cells from rat in different stages of ...

Post-Thaw Viability and Functionality of Cryopreserved Rat Fetal Brain Cells Cocultured with Sertoli Cells

Cell Transplantation, 1997
Testis-derived Sertoli cells have been used to create an immune “privileged” site outside of the testis to facilitate cell transplantation protocols for diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.
