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.

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 ...

Molecular genetics and pathophysiology of 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency. [PDF]

, 1996
Autosomal recessive mutations in the 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 gene impair the formation of testosterone in the fetal testis and give rise to genetic males with female external genitalia.

Testicular expression of TDRD1, TDRD5, TDRD9 and TDRD12 in azoospermia. [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND: Tudor domain-containing proteins (TDRDs) play a critical role in piRNA biogenesis and germ cell development. piRNAs, small regulatory RNAs, act by silencing of transposons during germline development and it has recently been shown in animal ...

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.

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

Sex determination in mythology and history [PDF]

, 2005
The history of ideas on how the sexes became divided spans at least three thousand years. The biblical account of the origin of Eve, and the opinions of the philosophers of classical Greece, have unexpected bearings on present-day ideas.

MiRNA-34c Regulates Bovine Sertoli Cell Proliferation, Gene Expression, and Apoptosis by Targeting the AXL Gene

Animals, 2021
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play significant roles in mammalian spermatogenesis. Sertoli cells can provide a stable microenvironment and nutritional factors for germ cells, thus playing a vital role in spermatogenesis.

T-SP1: a novel serine protease-like protein predominantly expressed in testis [PDF]

, 2008
Here, we describe a novel member in the group of membrane-anchored chymotrypsin (S1)-like serine proteases, namely testis serine protease 1 (T-SP1), as it is principally expressed in testis tissue.

miR-126 Controls the Apoptosis and Proliferation of Immature Porcine Sertoli Cells by Targeting the PIK3R2 Gene through the PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway

Animals, 2021
The quantity of Sertoli cells in the adult testis decides the daily gamete formation, and accumulating evidence indicates that epigenetic factors regulate the proliferation of Sertoli cells. Research on the function and regulatory mechanism of microRNAs (
