公山羊β防御素104a生物信息学分析及表达特性研究   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
旨在预测山羊β防御素104a蛋白质特性,研究其在成年公山羊生殖组织及其他组织中的表达特性及其定位。采用在线软件对gBD104a基因(KJ508074.1)进行生物信息学分析,用QRT-PCR法检测gBD104amRNA在睾丸、附睾及其他组织中的表达情况,用免疫荧光技术对生殖组织和精子中的gBD104a进行定位。结果,(1)生物信息学分析结果表明gBD104a基因cDNA全长324bp,编码107个氨基酸,第1~19个氨基酸为信号肽,第27~55个氨基酸为潜在的β防御素构象区域,在C端有7个潜在的O糖基化位点;(2)QRT-PCR结果表明,gBD104a在附睾体中表达量最高,在附睾头、气管、皱胃、空肠、回肠等组织中表达量较高,其他组织中表达量均较低;(3)免疫组化定位结果显示,在附睾头和体部的假复层纤毛柱状上皮细胞检测到较强的gBD104a阳性信号,在附睾尾部的纤毛柱状上皮细胞也检测到较强的阳性信号。gBD104a包裹在精子头部顶体和中段线粒体表面。gBD104a是一种分泌型糖蛋白,在成年公山羊机体各组织中广泛表达,但主要表达在附睾体,是精子表面的主要成分。推测可能与精子运动、顶体反应和获能有关。需要进一步深入研究其功能。  相似文献

为比较不同繁殖季节成年牦牛附睾组织结构特征变化,应用苏木精-曙红常规染色、Masson's和Gomori's特殊组织化学染色方法比较不同繁殖季节牦牛(6头繁殖期成年牦牛和9头繁殖间期成年牦牛)附睾的组织结构特点并用IPP图像分析软件进行定量分析。结果显示,与繁殖间期相比,繁殖期附睾尾间质胶原纤维和网状纤维较附睾头及附睾体明显增多;附睾头和附睾体柱状上皮厚度显著增加(P<0.05),附睾头纤毛长度增加显著(P<0.05);附睾头和附睾尾管腔内径及外径显著增高(P<0.05);但是附睾尾管腔外径繁殖期与繁殖间期相比差异不显著(P>0.05)。本研究结果表明,成年牦牛附睾管外围网状纤维与胶原纤维分布一致,二者在附睾尾较为丰富,可能与其较强的收缩能力及精子运输有关;柱状纤毛上皮高度及纤毛长度、管腔内径与外径的变化与其所处的不同繁殖季节密切相关,附睾管腔的膨大和回缩亦可能是高原地区季节性繁殖的哺乳动物中一种普遍存在的现象。  相似文献

Aquaporins (AQPs) are channel proteins that facilitate the transepithelial and bidirectional movement of water. AQP9 is an aquaporin that is expressed in the mammalian epididymis. This water transport contributes to epididymal sperm concentration. This study aimed to examine the morphology of epididymal epithelium in piglets and boars, as well as the expression and immunolocalization of AQP9. The piglets presented an epididymal epithelium in differentiation with principal, basal and apical cells. The cellular population of the epididymal epithelium in boars consisted of principal, basal, apical, clear and narrow cells. The migratory cells known as halo cells were observed in the epididymis of both piglets and boars. AQP9 expression presented differences between piglets and boars. Moderate intensity of AQP9 immunoreaction was observed in the apical border of the epididymal epithelium of the caput and cauda regions in the piglet epididymis. A moderate‐to‐intense reaction for AQP9 was observed in the nuclei of epithelial cells of the three epididymal regions in the boar epididymis. The region of the cauda epididymis showed reactivity for AQP9 also in the apical border of the epithelium. It is believed that the AQP9 is already functional in piglets at only 1 week of age and is more active, playing a pivotal role in the caput and cauda regions of the epididymis. Moreover, the intense AQP9 expression in the apical border of epithelial cells in the cauda region of the boar epididymis suggests a higher performance of AQP9 in this region, where sperm complete their maturation process, stored and concentrated.  相似文献

The macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of the epididymis of the sexually mature Peromyscus winkelmanni (carleton) was examined using light and scanning electron microscopy. The epididymis was divided into three regions: caput, corpus and cauda. The epididymal duct was lined with columnar and cubic epithelium with stereocilia and covered by a muscular connective tissue sheath. Capillaries appear to penetrate directly into the epithelium from the underlying connective tissue in the initial segment. The epididymal epithelium presents four cell types: principal, basal, apical and clear cells. Based on morphological differences (height of epithelial cells, length of the stereocilia, luminal area, larger diameter and spermatic index), the epididymis of P. winkelmanni, presents seven zones. The stereocilia of the epididymal ducts of zones I, II, IV and V are thick and tall, while in zone III they are thin and short. The stereocilia in zone VI are thin, while in zone VII they are short but thick. The secretory products observed in the lumen of the epididymal ducts have vesicular, granular and fibrous form in the seven zones. This study contributes to an understanding of the morphofunctional features of the epididymis in sperm maturation in a species that shows seasonal reproductive activity.  相似文献

Tight junctions (TJ) in inter-Sertoli junctional areas and epididymal epithelia are important for the formation of blood-testis barrier (BTB) and blood-epididymal barrier (BEB). In this study, the expression of occludin, an integral member of the TJ, was verified in canine testis and epididymis. Both low molecular weight (MW) (25-28 kDa) forms as well as high MW (68-72 kDa) forms of occludin were detected in the testis and epididymis using Western blot. The relative amount of the high MW forms of occludin vs low MW forms was higher in the testis than in the epididymis. Some difference in the composition of different MW forms of occludin was found along the segments of epididymis, suggesting the possible correlation between cellular composition of occludin proteins and paracellular permeability of epithelia along the epididymal tubule. In the testis, intense occludin immunoreactivity was found in the basally located inter-Sertoli junctional area. Diffused immunoreactivity of occludin was also found in the cytoplasm of Sertoli cells. A similar pattern of zonula occludens-1 immunoreactivity was found in the cytoplasm of Sertoli cells, suggesting that occludin was not confined to the inter-Sertoli junctional areas and that subcellular localization of occludin in the Sertoli cells was dynamically regulated during spermatogenesis in canine testis. In the epididymis weak immunoreactivity was found in the apical sides and cytoplasm of epithelial cells.  相似文献

To compare the histological changes of the adult yak's epididymis in different breeding seasons,six adult yak testis in breeding season and nine adult yak testis in breeding interval were collected for structure investigation by HE staining,Masson's and Gomori's histochemistry methods,and IPP (Image-Pro Plus) statistics method was used to quantitative statistics.The results showed that comparing with the adult yak in the breeding interval,the epididymis ducts of adult yak in the breeding season were covered with the columnar ciliated epithelium.The collagen and reticular fiber in cauda epididymis were obviously more abundant than caput and corpus epididymitis.And the thickness of columnar epithelium cells in caput and corpus epididymitis,the length of the cilia in caput,and also the internal and external lumen diameter of caput and corpus epididymitis were all significantly increased in the breeding season (P<0.05),but the external lumen diameter of the cauda epididymis had no significant differences (P>0.05).In conclusion,the research showed that the distribution of collagen and reticular fiber in adult yak's epididymis interstitial were similar,and they were more rich in cauda epididymis,which might relate to the capacity and the sperm transport;The changes of the epithelial thickness,the length of cilia,the internal and external lumen diameter were close related to the different breeding seasons,and it might be a common phenomenon in plateau mammals that the enlargement and reduction of the epididymal duct in different breeding seasons.  相似文献

Oestrogens are involved in regulation of spermatogenesis and sperm maturation and are essential for male fertility. To study the role of oestrogens on epididymal function in the domestic cat, we analyzed the localization patterns of oestrogen receptors (ERs) within the epididymis of juvenile, pubertal and adults using immunohistochemistry. Cat epididymal tissues obtained during routine castrations were fixed in chilled Bouin's solution and processed for immunohistochemistry with ER-specific antibodies. For a certain receptor type, ER localization was influenced by donor age. In the juvenile epididymis, ERα was localized in the nuclei of epithelial cells of efferent ducts and undifferentiated epithelium of the ductus epididymis. During puberty, ERα localization in the undifferentiated epithelium of the epididymis shifted from the nuclei to the cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Oestrogen receptor-α level was highest in the pubertal and adult epididymis, especially within the cytoplasm and in plasma membranes of caput epithelial cells. This finding was suggestive of a role in fluid reabsorption within the efferent ducts and the epididymis. In corpus and cauda regions, ERα was less abundant, suggesting a minor role for oestrogens in sperm storage areas. Interestingly, localization of ERβ was neither influenced by age nor location within the epididymis and was ubiquitous throughout. Results demonstrate that oestrogen actions within the epididymis may be predominantly mediated through ERα during sexual maturation in the domestic cat.  相似文献

Tight junctions (TJs) in inter-Sertoli junctional areas and epididymal epithelia build up the blood–testis barrier (BTB) and the blood–epididymal barrier (BEB), respectively. In this study, the expression of occludin, an integral member of the TJs, was examined in testis and different regions of epididymis of Lepus sinensis coreanus , an Korean wild rabbit species. In testis, intense occludin immunoreactivity was found in the basally located inter-Sertoli junctional area together with diffused immunoreactivity of occludin in the cytoplasm of Sertoli cells. It can be suggested that occludin is one of the robust elements of BTB in seminiferous tubules of rabbit testis. In proximal and distal caput epididymis, occludin immunoreactivity was found in the lateral as well as apical contacts of epithelial cells. In corpus epididymis, intense occludin immunoreactivity was found in the basolateral as well as apical contacts of epithelial cells together with cytoplasmic signal. In cauda epididymis, occludin immunoreactivity in luminal epithelia was relatively strong but largely found in the cytoplasm. This suggests that intriguing regulatory mechanisms differentially recruit occludin to the TJ in the different regions of epididymal epithelia. The differences in the subcellular localization as well as expression levels of occludin among the epididymal segments may reflect differential paracellular permeability of epithelia along the epididymal tubules and be correlated with sperm maturation in rabbit. In Western blot, a major form of occludin was MW 62 kDa together with small fragments of MW 34–39 kDa in testis and epididymis, suggesting the peptide cleavage of occludin. This is the first report on the molecular nature of TJs in a wild rabbit testis and epididymis.  相似文献

Effects of ligation of the ductus deferens on the fowl epididymal region   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The effects of ligation of the ductus deferens on the epididymis in the fowl were studied histochemically and immunohistochemically to reveal the mechanisms of sperm disposal. At one week post-ligation, the lumina of the rete testes (RT) and the efferent ductules (ED) were distended and filled with densely accumulated spermatozoa. Macrophages and foreign-body giant cells were aggregated in and around the accumulations. The epithelium regressed in the initial portion of the RT with the invasion of fibroblasts and heterophiles into the lumen. The other part of the epithelium was penetrated by many spermatozoa. Numerous lymphocytes and plasma cells infiltrated into the interstitium. At 4 weeks, larger number of spermatozoa agglutinated in the lumen, and large masses of foamy cells and proliferated connective tissue protruded into the lumen. At 8 weeks, large masses of foamy cells were noted. The connecting ductules or the epididymal duct showed no marked changes after ligation. The epithelium of the ED showed weaker or no acid phosphatase activity after ligation. Immunoglobulin G-containing cells increased in number in the interstitium. These results showed that ligation of the ductus deferens in the fowl causes granuloma in the RT and ED, and that epithelial cells, macrophages and granuloma are engaged in the removal of spermatozoa. The participation of antibody is suggested in the sperm disposal processes.  相似文献

通过附睾转运,精子经历了一系列的生化和形态变化逐渐成熟,在精子成熟的过程中,其胞质成分含量逐渐减少,因此精子对氧化应激更为敏感,进而导致精子结构和功能受到损害,故而附睾管腔微环境中抗氧化酶的作用非常重要。活性氧(ROS)在精子功能中起着双重作用:生理水平的ROS可促进精子受精前的获能,而过高水平ROS则会导致精子发生氧化损伤。在附睾中清除多余ROS的抗氧化酶主要有超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPXs)以及过氧化物酶(PRDXs),但是不同年龄的哺乳动物附睾不同部位中各种抗氧化酶的含量均会发生变化,不同抗氧化酶对ROS也具有不同的清除机制。当附睾缺乏某一抗氧化酶时,会使精子DNA受损、精子质量下降,最终导致异常生殖结果增加。因此,哺乳动物附睾中各类抗氧化酶需要相互协调将ROS维持在生理水平,但有关这方面的研究报道较少。附睾上皮细胞分泌的抗氧化酶以附睾小体的形式传递给精子,以清除自身有氧代谢以及异常精子所产生的ROS,进而保护精子正常成熟。作者综述了附睾精子所面临的氧化应激以及附睾中各类抗氧化酶对精子的保护作用。  相似文献
