Single-cell transcriptome analysis of Bisphenol A exposure reveals the key roles of the testicular microenvironment in male reproduction

Ning Zhang et al.

Summary: This study reveals the significant changes in cell-type composition in the testis during puberty and the potential role of secretory proteins from Sertoli cells in germ cell maturation. It also highlights the disruptive effects of Bisphenol A on Sertoli cells, leading to cytotoxicity and potential implications for male reproduction, specifically in non-obstructive azoospermia.

Therapeutic application of Sertoli cells for treatment of various diseases

Rachel L. Washburn et al.

Summary: Sertoli cells, as immune privileged cells in the testis, provide immune protection to maturing germ cells. They have potential therapeutic applications in creating tolerogenic environments, protecting co-grafted cells, and delivering therapeutic proteins through gene therapy. Studies have shown their potential use in treating diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, and restoration of spermatogenesis.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals affect Sertoli TM4 cell functionality through dysregulation of gap junctional intercellular communication in vitro

Affiefa Yawer et al.

Summary: The frequencies of adverse outcomes associated with male reproductive health, including infertility and testicular cancer, are increasing partially due to exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). This study found that EDCs have rapid effects on testicular cells, specifically affecting intercellular communication and connexin proteins, as well as MAPK signaling pathways. These findings suggest that EDCs may disrupt testicular homeostasis and development.

Synergistic Activity of Ketoconazole and Miconazole with Prochloraz in Inducing Oxidative Stress, GSH Depletion, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, and Apoptosis in Mouse Sertoli TM4 Cells

Sabrina Petricca et al.

Summary: Triazole and imidazole fungicides, as emerging pollutants with endocrine-disrupting properties, have been found to have adverse effects on male reproductive cells. This study specifically demonstrates that ketoconazole and miconazole, alone or in combination with prochloraz, significantly impair the functions of Sertoli cells and cause oxidative stress. However, fluconazole shows no cytotoxic effects.

The Non-hormonal Male Contraceptive Adjudin Exerts its Effects via MAPs and Signaling Proteins mTORC1/rpS6 and FAK-Y407

Lingling Wang et al.

Summary: Adjudin is a nonhormonal male contraceptive that induces reversible male infertility without perturbing hormone levels. It works by disrupting specific junctions in the testis to induce spermatid exfoliation, without affecting germ cell development. Studies suggest that its contraceptive effects are mediated through changes in microtubule associated proteins and signaling proteins.

Environmental exposures, fetal testis development and function: phthalates and beyond

Hui Li et al.

Summary: Fetal testis development in mammals is a complex process involving interrelated cellular mechanisms, which can be disrupted by environmental toxicants such as phthalates. Phthalates have been extensively studied for their toxic effects on fetal testis, but the exact mechanisms behind these effects are not fully understood. Understanding the molecular mechanisms responsible for phthalate toxicity is crucial for assessing the long-term impacts of environmental chemicals and pharmaceuticals on human reproductive health.
