    Abstract In brief: Protamines package and shield the paternal DNA in the sperm nucleus and have been studied in many mouse models over decades. This review recapitulates and updates our knowledge about protamines and reveals a surprising complexity in protamine function and their interactions with other sperm nuclear proteins.
    Abstract: The packaging and safeguarding of paternal DNA in the sperm cell nucleus is a critical feature of proper sperm function. Histones cannot mediate the necessary hypercondensation and shielding of chromatin required for motility and transit through the reproductive tracts. Paternal chromatin is therefore reorganized and ultimately packaged by protamines. In most mammalian species, one protamine is present in mature sperm (PRM1). In rodents and primates among others, however, mature sperm contain a second protamine (PRM2). Unlike PRM1, PRM2 is cleaved at its N-terminal end. Although protamines have been studied for decades due to their role in chromatin hypercondensation and involvement in male infertility, key aspects of their function are still unclear. This review updates and integrates our knowledge of protamines and their function based on lessons learned from mouse models and starts to answer open questions. The combined insights from recent work reveal that indeed both protamines are crucial for the production of functional sperm and indicate that the two protamines perform distinct functions beyond simple DNA compaction. Loss of one allele of PRM1 leads to subfertility whereas heterozygous loss of PRM2 does not. Unprocessed PRM2 seems to play a distinct role related to the eviction of intermediate DNA-bound proteins and the incorporation of both protamines into chromatin. For PRM1, on the other hand, heterozygous loss leads to strongly reduced sperm motility as the main phenotype, indicating that PRM1 might be important for processes ensuring correct motility, apart from DNA compaction.

    Abstract Preeclampsia (PE) is characterized by maternal hypertension and placental dysfunction, often leading to fetal growth restriction (FGR). It is associated with an overexpression of the anti-angiogenic sFLT1 protein, which originates from the placenta and serves as a clinical biomarker to predict PE. To analyze the impact of sFLT1 on placental function and fetal growth, we generated transgenic mice with placenta-specific human sFLT1 (hsFLT1) overexpression. Immunohistochemical, morphometrical, and molecular analyses of the placentas on 14.5 dpc and 18.5 dpc were performed with a focus on angiogenesis, nutrient transport, and inflammation. Additionally, fetal development upon placental hsFLT1 overexpression was investigated. Dams exhibited a mild increase in serum hsFLT1 levels upon placental hsFLT1 expression and revealed growth restriction of the fetuses in a sex-specific manner. Male FGR fetuses expressed higher amounts of placental

    Abstract Type II testicular germ cell tumors (GCTs) can be classified as seminoma or embryonal carcinoma. Both subtypes present distinct cellular morphologies and characteristics. Seminomas closely resemble primordial germ cells (PGCs) with respect to their transcriptome and epigenetic signature (DNA hypomethylation). They express the pluripotency markers LIN28, NANOG, and OCT3/4 and the PGC markers SOX17, PRDM1, TFAP2C, DMRT1, and cKIT. Embryonal carcinomas show increased levels of DNA methylation (hypermethylation). They also express the pluripotency markers LIN28, NANOG, and OCT3/4, but additionally DNMT3B and SOX2. In contrast to seminomas, these tumors are pluripotent to totipotent and thus able to differentiate into cells of all three germ layers (teratoma) and extraembryonic tissues (yolk-sac tumor, choriocarcinoma). This protocol summarizes the essential techniques for standard cultivation of seminoma (TCam-2), embryonal carcinoma (NCCIT, NT2/D1, 2102EP), and choriocarcinoma (JEG-3, JAR) cell lines, as well as the methods to establish gene-edited subclones using the CRISPR/Cas9 system.
