Single-cell RNA sequencing technology in human spermatogenesis: Progresses and perspectives
Mol Cell Biochem. 2023 Sep 2. doi: 10.1007/s11010-023-04840-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSpermatogenesis, a key part of the spermiation process, is regulated by a combination of key cells, such as primordial germ cells, spermatogonial stem cells, and somatic cells, such as Sertoli cells. Abnormal spermatogenesis can lead to azoospermia, testicular tumors, and other diseases related to male infertility. The application of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology in male reproduction is gradually increasing with its unique insight into deep mining and analysis. The data cover different periods of neonatal, prepu...

First report of primary testicular leiomyosarcoma in two dogs
CONCLUSIONS: To the authors knowledge these are the first cases of primary testicular sarcoma reported in the canine species. However, even rare, these tumours deserve to be considered in routine diagnosis when a testicular spindle cell tumour is observed. The immunohistochemical panel applied was useful to distinguish the present tumours from undifferentiated Sertoli cell tumours confirming the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma.PMID:37525233 | DOI:10.1186/s12917-023-03658-5 (Source: Cell Research)

Gastrodin protects porcine sertoli cells from zearalenone-induced abnormal secretion of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor through the NOTCH signaling pathway
In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that ZEA disrupts pSSCs self-renewal by affecting the function of porcine Sertoli cell, and highlights the protective mechanism of GAS through the regulation of the NOTCH signaling pathway. These findings may offer a novel strategy for alleviating ZEA-induced male reproductive dysfunction in animal production.PMID:37285694 | DOI:10.1016/j.repbio.2023.100781 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

The sclerosing sertoli cell tumor of the testis: a case report
Testicular Sertoli cell tumor (SCT) is very rare sex cord-gonadal stromal tumor, and sclerosing SCT (SSCT) is even rarer. So far, no more than 50 cases of SSCT have been reported. 80% of SSCTs are less than 2 ... (Source: Diagnostic Pathology)

A single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of primate testicular aging reveals exhaustion of the spermatogonial stem cell reservoir and loss of Sertoli cell homeostasis
Protein Cell. 2022 Nov 18:pwac057. doi: 10.1093/procel/pwac057. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe testis is pivotal for male reproduction, and its progressive functional decline in aging is associated with infertility. However, the regulatory mechanism underlying primate testicular aging remains largely elusive. Here, we resolve the aging-related cellular and molecular alterations of primate testicular aging by establishing a single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas. Gene-expression patterns along the spermatogenesis trajectory revealed molecular programs associated with attrition of spermatogonial stem cell reservoir, disturbe...

Testicular impairment in Primary Adrenal Insufficiency caused by Nicotinamide Nucleotide Transhydrogenase (NNT) deficiency  - a case report: implication of oxidative stress and importance of fertility preservation
ConclusionThis case report provides, for the first time, direct evidence of complete germ line loss in an azoospermic man with NNT deficiency. Additional data further support the hypothesis of a determinant role of oxidative cellular damage due to reactive oxygen species (ROS) imbalance in the severe gonadal impairment observed in this NNT-deficient patient. Early and regular evaluation of gonadal function should be performed in patients with PAI, especially with NNT deficiency, as soon as the patients reach puberty. Fertility preservation options should then be provided in early adulthood for these patients. (Source: Basi...

Analysis of connexin 43, connexin 45 and N-cadherin in the human sertoli cell line FS1 and the human seminoma-like cell line TCam-2 in comparison with human testicular biopsies
Germ cell tumors are relatively common in young men. They derive from a non-invasive precursor, called germ cell neoplasia in situ, but the exact pathogenesis is still unknown. Thus, further understanding prov... (Source: BMC Cancer)

Streptococcus canis prostatitis and endocarditis with thromboembolism in a dog with sertoli cell tumour in a cryptic testis and prostatic squamous metaplasia
We describe an unusual case of prostatitis caused byStreptococcus canis evolving to endocarditis and splenic, renal, and cerebral thromboembolism in a dog, associated with a Sertoli cell tumour in a cryptic testis and diffuse prostatic squamous metaplasia. A nine-year-old, intact male, mixed-breed dog was presented to a veterinary teaching hospital with abdominal pain and prostration. Physical examination and abdominal ultrasonography revealed an atrophic right testicle located in the subcutaneous tissue. The left testicle was in the abdominal cavity with increased dimensions and irregular contours. Complete blood count an...
