摘要:

本研究旨在探讨生长分化因子9(GDF9)及其受体在雄性成年狗睾丸中的定位与表达。采用RT-PCR、免疫组织化学法、免疫印迹法检测GDF9及其受体ALK5蛋白在成年狗睾丸中的表达与定位。GDF9蛋白在成年狗睾丸中的表达显示,GDF9阶段特异性地定位在成年狗睾丸生精上皮的圆形精细胞和粗线期精母细胞胞质。GDF9 I型膜受体ALK5蛋白在成年狗睾丸中的表达显示,ALK5主要定位在圆形精细胞。本研究显示,GDF9及其膜受体ALK5在成年狗睾丸中均有表达,提示,GDF9由圆形精细胞和粗线期精母细胞特异性分泌,通过旁分泌形式调控支持细胞间紧密连接及支持细胞与生殖细胞间的细胞连接,并以自分泌形式调控生殖细胞的生长与迁移。

Abstract:

The purposes of the study were to explore growth differentiation factor 9(GDF9) and its receptor position and expression in the adult dog testis.The expression and location of GDF9 and its receptor activin receptor-like kinase 5(ALK 5) in adult dog testis was detected by RT-PCR,immunohistochemistry and Western blot.The expression of protein GDF9 in testis of adult dogs can show that GDF9 is stage-specifically localized in the cytoplasm of round spermatids and pachytene spermatocytes of adult dog seminiferous epithelium.In particular,the expression of protein ALK5 in testis of adult dogs can show that ALK5 is localized in the cytoplasm of round spermatids.The study showed that GDF9 and its membrane receptor ALK5 were both expressed in adult dog testis.GDF9 is specifically secreted by the cytoplasm of round spermatids and pachytene spermatocytes.GDF9 regulates and sustains the connections between Sertoli cells,and between cells and germ cells by paracrine secretion.Also,GDF9 regulates the growth and migration of germ cells by autocrine secretion.

Key words: dog, testis, spermatogenesis growth, differentiation factor 9, activin receptor-like kinases 5
