Disease relevance of Sertoli Cells

 

Psychiatry related information on Sertoli Cells

  • The critical period of proliferation coincides with the initiation of Sry expression and is essential for the differentiation of Sertoli cells, suggesting that proliferation is a vital component of the initiation of the male pathway by Sry [6].
 

High impact information on Sertoli Cells

  • In primary Sertoli cells, the orphan nuclear receptor, steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1), regulates the MIS gene by binding to a conserved upstream regulatory element [7].
  • None of the proteins secreted by Sertoli cells reacted specifically with H-Y antibodies, as determined with immunoprecipitation procedures and immunoabsorbent affinity chromatography, followed by SDS gel electrophoresis [8].
  • This was associated with enhanced tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunoreactivity in the striatum in the area around the transplanted Sertoli cells [9].
  • Testis-derived Sertoli cells have a trophic effect on dopamine neurons and alleviate hemiparkinsonism in rats [9].
  • Further analysis of testis showed that CD95 ligand messenger RNA is constitutively expressed by testicular Sertoli cells, and that Sertoli cells from normal mice, but not gld mice, were accepted when transplanted into allogeneic recipients [10].

Gene context of Sertoli Cells

  • We have studied the expression of ECE by Sertoli cells and used myoid cell cultures and seminiferous tubule explants to monitor the biological activity of the enzymatic reaction product [29].
  • Using Cre/loxP technology, we have generated mice with a ubiquitous knockout of the AR as well as mice with a selective AR knockout in Sertoli cells (SC) only [30].
  • Endogenous expression of Müllerian inhibiting substance in early postnatal rat sertoli cells requires multiple steroidogenic factor-1 and GATA-4-binding sites [31].
  • In mouse Sertoli cells, transcription of the Inha gene encoding the alpha subunit of inhibin, which acts locally as a tumor suppressor, is down-regulated in tumors and in normal cells during aging [32].
  • In Sertoli cells, it colocalizes with the PML and Daxx proteins in punctate nuclear bodies [32].
