Nonclassical androgen and estrogen signaling is essential for normal spermatogenesis

Paul S. Cooke et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the physiological functions of classical and nonclassical androgen and estrogen signaling pathways in the testis and reproductive tract. The study highlights the essential role of nonclassical signaling in the overall response to hormones, and the abnormalities in spermatogenesis and the male reproductive tract associated with the absence of either nonclassical or classical receptor pathways.

Human obstructive (postvasectomy) and nonobstructive azoospermia - Insights from scRNA-Seq and transcriptome analysis

Shitao Chen et al.

Summary: By analyzing testis biopsy samples using single-cell RNA sequencing, this study revealed transcriptional changes in Sertoli cells in response to a loss of interactions with germ cells in patients with obstructive azoospermia and nonobstructive azoospermia. Additionally, a discrepancy in germ cell populations was observed between an obstructive azoospermia patient and a healthy individual.

The anatomy, movement, and functions of human sperm tail: an evolving mystery

Naina Kumar et al.

Summary: Sperm, since its discovery in 1677, have been a subject of interest to researchers due to its complex structure and function, particularly in relation to the movement of its tail. Understanding sperm tail development and associated genes is crucial for diagnosing and managing male infertility, with ongoing research needed to explore the genes and proteins contributing to normal human sperm tail development, movement, and role in male fertility.

Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals potential testosterone function-related regulatory genes/pathways of Leydig cells in immature and mature buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) testes

Liangfeng Huang et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the transcriptome profiles of immature Leydig cells (ILC) and adult Leydig cells (ALC) in buffalo, identifying key genes and pathways associated with the regulation of testosterone secretion function. The findings suggest that cAMP signaling plays a crucial role in maintaining testosterone function during postnatal development of LCs, with ALCs potentially increasing testosterone levels through enhanced cAMP production compared to ILCs. Protein-protein interaction analysis highlighted hub genes in cAMP signaling pathway, providing insights into molecular mechanisms of LCs regulating spermatogenesis.

Deletion of the Spata3 Gene Induces Sperm Alterations and In Vitro Hypofertility in Mice

Marie-Sophie Girault et al.

Summary: The CRISPR-Cas9 mediated complete deletion of the Spata3 gene in mice led to a significant reduction in in vitro fertilization efficiency, while in vivo fertility remained normal. Ultrastructural analyses revealed acrosome defects and an overabundance of lipid droplets in cytoplasmic remnants, partially reproducing the phenotype of the hypofertile IRCS strain.

Summary: Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) has enabled researchers to study cell heterogeneities and transcriptional variations in meiosis at a higher resolution, allowing for a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying infertility and aneuploidy. By comparing bulk RNA-seq and scRNA-seq, the advantages and limitations of scRNA-seq in meiosis studies have been highlighted, along with recent findings and analysis methods from mammalian meiosis research.
