    Abstract Stem Leydig cells (SLCs) are essential for maintaining normal spermatogenesis as the significant component of testis microenvironment and gonadal aging. Although progress has been achieved in the regulation of male germ cells in mammals and humans, it remains unknown about the genes and signaling pathways of human SLCs. Here we have demonstrated, for the first time, that WNT5A (Wnt family member 5a) mediates the proliferation, apoptosis, and stemness of human SLCs, namely NGFR

    Abstract Studies on the gene regulation of spermatogenesis are of unusual significance for maintaining male reproduction and treating male infertility. Here, we have demonstrated, for the first time, that a loss of ZBTB40 function leads to abnormalities in the morphological and phenotypic characteristics of mouse spermatocytes and spermatids as well as male infertility. We revealed that Zbtb40 was expressed in spermatocytes of mouse testes, and it was co-localized with γH2AX in mouse secondary spermatocytes. Interestingly, spermatocytes of

    Abstract Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) have important applications in both reproduction and regenerative medicine. Nevertheless, specific genes and signaling transduction pathways in mediating fate decisions of human SSCs remain elusive. Here, we have demonstrated for the first time that OIP5 (Opa interacting protein 5) controlled the self-renewal and apoptosis of human SSCs. RNA sequencing identified that NCK2 was a target for OIP5 in human SSCs, and interestingly, OIP5 could interact with NCK2 as shown by Co-IP (co-immunoprecipitation), IP-MS (mass spectrometry), and GST pulldown assays. NCK2 silencing decreased human SSC proliferation and DNA synthesis but enhanced their apoptosis. Notably, NCK2 knockdown reversed the influence of OIP5 overexpression on human SSCs. Moreover, OIP5 inhibition decreased the numbers of human SSCs at S and G2/M phases, while the levels of numerous cell cycle proteins, including cyclins A2, B1, D1, E1 and H, especially cyclin D1, were remarkably reduced. Significantly, whole-exome sequencing of 777 patients with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) revealed 54 single-nucleotide polymorphism mutations of the OIP5 gene (6.95%), while the level of OIP5 protein was obviously lower in testes of NOA patients compared to fertile men. Collectively, these results implicate that OIP5 interacts with NCK2 to modulate human SSC self-renewal and apoptosis via cell cyclins and cell cycle progression and that its mutation and/or lower expression is correlated with azoospermia. As such, this study offers novel insights into molecular mechanisms underlying the fate determinations of human SSCs and the pathogenesis of NOA, and it provides new targets for treating male infertility.

    Abstract Human spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are essential for spermatogenesis and male fertility. However, molecular mechanisms regulating fate determinations of human SSCs remain elusive. In this study, we revealed that KLF2 decreased the proliferation, DNA synthesis, and colonization of human SSCs as well as increased apoptosis of these cells. We identified and demonstrated that GJA1 was a target gene for KLF2 in human SSCs. Notably, KLF2 overexpression rescued the reduction of proliferation of human SSCs caused by GJA1 silencing as well as the enhancement of apoptosis of human SSCs.

    Abstract Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are capable of transmitting genetic information to the next generations and they are the initial cells for spermatogenesis. Nevertheless, it remains largely unknown about key genes and signaling pathways that regulate fate determinations of human SSCs and male infertility. In this study, we explored the expression, function, and mechanism of USP11 in controlling the proliferation and apoptosis of human SSCs as well as the association between its abnormality and azoospermia. We found that USP11 was predominantly expressed in human SSCs as shown by database analysis and immunohistochemistry. USP11 silencing led to decreases in proliferation and DNA synthesis and an enhancement in apoptosis of human SSCs. RNA-sequencing identified HOXC5 as a target of USP11 in human SSCs. Double immunofluorescence, Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), and molecular docking demonstrated an interaction between USP11 and HOXC5 in human SSCs. HOXC5 knockdown suppressed the growth of human SSCs and increased apoptosis via the classical WNT/β-catenin pathway. In contrast, HOXC5 overexpression reversed the effect of proliferation and apoptosis induced by USP11 silencing. Significantly, lower levels of USP11 expression were observed in the testicular tissues of patients with spermatogenic disorders. Collectively, these results implicate that USP11 regulates the fate decisions of human SSCs through the HOXC5/WNT/β-catenin pathway. This study thus provides novel insights into understanding molecular mechanisms underlying human spermatogenesis and the etiology of azoospermia and it offers new targets for gene therapy of male infertility.

    Abstract Spermatogenesis is regulated by genetic and epigenetic factors. However, the genes and signaling pathways mediating human spermatogenesis remain largely unknown. Here, we have for the first time explored the expression, function, and mechanism of glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPx3) in controlling the proliferation and apoptosis of human spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). We found that GPx3 was expressed in human SSCs. Notably, we revealed that GPx3 knockdown resulted in the decrease in the proliferation, DNA synthesis, and cyclin B1 level in human SSC lines, which possessed the phenotypic features of human primary SSCs. Flow cytometry and TUNEL assays showed that GPx3 silencing led to enhancement of early apoptosis of human SSC line. RNA sequencing was utilized to identify CXCL10 as a target of GPx3 in human SSCs, and notably, both double immunostaining and co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) demonstrated that there was an association between GPx3 and CXCL10 in these cells. CXCL10-shRNA resulted in the reduction in the proliferation and DNA synthesis of human SSC line and an increase in apoptosis of these cells. Taken together, these results implicate that GPx3 regulates the proliferation, DNA synthesis, and early apoptosis of human SSC line via mediating CXCL10 and cyclin B1. This study, thus, offers a novel insight into the molecular mechanism regulating the fate determinations of human SSCs and human spermatogenesis.

    Abstract Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) serve as a foundation for spermatogenesis and they are essential for male fertility. The fate of SSC is determined by genetic and epigenetic regulatory networks. Many molecules that regulate SSC fate determinations have been identified in mice. However, the molecules and signaling pathways underlying human SSCs remain largely unclear. In this study, we have demonstrated that MAP4K4 was predominantly expressed in human UCHL1-positive spermatogonia by double immunocytochemical staining. MAP4K4 knockdown inhibited proliferation of human SSCs and induced their apoptosis. Moreover, MAP4K4 silencing led to inhibition of JNK phosphorylation and MAP4K4 phosphorylation at Ser801. RNA sequencing indicated that MAP4K4 affected the transcription of SPARC , ADAM19 , GPX7 , GNG2 , and COLA1 . Interestingly, the phenotype of inhibiting JNK phosphorylation by SP600125 was similar to MAP4K4 knockdown. Notably, MAP4K4 protein was lower in the testes of patients with non-obstructive azoospermia than those with normal spermatogenesis as shown by Western blots and immunohistochemistry. Considered together, our data implicate that MAP4K4/JNK signaling pathway mediates proliferation and apoptosis of human SSCs, which provides a novel insight into molecular mechanisms governing human spermatogenesis and might offer new targets for gene therapy of male infertility.
