Analysis of gene expression in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) treated Sertoli cells. Sertoli cells from 20 day rats were cultured in the presence of 25 ng/ml ovine FSH and gene expression monitored 0, 2, 4, 8 and 24 hours after addition of FSH.

(Submitter supplied) Spermatogenesis requires the presence of functional somatic Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis. Sertoli cells provide support and factors necessary for the successful progression of germ cells into spermatozoa. Sertoli cells are regulated to a large degree by the glycoprotein hormone FSH, which is required for the testis to acquire full size and spermatogenic capacity. Signaling events initiated by the binding of FSH to its receptor lead to an alteration of Sertoli cell gene expression. more...

(Submitter supplied) To unravel the genes that underpin the effects of FSH on spermatogenesis, testicular gene expression was compared in juvenile rats after FSH suppression to littermate controls. Based on existing data, it is apparent that the dominant function of FSH shifts between 9 and 18 day postpartum (dpp) during the first wave of spermatogenesis from driving Sertoli cell proliferation to support of germ cells. more...

Analysis of maturing testes from animals suppressed for follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) activity from age 14 to 18 days. FSH activity suppressed by treatment with an antibody to FSH (FSHAb). Results provide insight into the role of FSH in Sertoli and male germ cell development.

(Submitter supplied) Spermatogonial stem cells are quiescent, undergo self-renewal or differentiating divisions, thereby forming the cellular basis of spermatogenesis. This cellular development is orchestrated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), through the production of Sertoli cell-derived factors, and by Leydig cell-released androgens. Here, we investigate the transcriptional events induced by Fsh in a steroid-independent manner on the restart of zebrafish (Danio rerio) spermatogenesis ex vivo, using testis from adult males where type A spermatogonia were enriched by estrogen treatment in vivo. more...

(Submitter supplied) Spermatogenesis is a complex process involving multiple cells and cellular signals. Among all other cells, Sertoli cells (Sc) are absolutely indispensable for sperm production because they provide biochemical signal and physical support to developing germ cells in the testis. Sc drastically transform during the process of attainment of reproductive maturity. Stage specific gene expression by Sc, supplement for the changing need of developing germ cells. more...

(Submitter supplied) In the normal mouse the pituitary gonadotrophins determine development, maturation and physiological regulation of the testis with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) activating the Sertoli cell and luteinising hormone (LH) the Leydig cell. To look at the potential interaction of cell types within the testis following hormone stimulation we have investigated the effect of rFSH on testicular gene expression in the hypogonadal (hpg) male mouse. more...
