Promotion of spermatogonial proliferation by neuregulin 1 in newt (Cynops pyrrhogaster) testis
We have previously shown that mammalian follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) promotes the proliferation of spermatogonia and their differentiation into primary spermatocytes in organ culture of newt testis. In the current study, we performed microarray analysis to isolate local factors secreted from somatic cells upon FSH treatment and acting on the germ cells. We identified neuregulin 1 (NRG1) a...
متن کاملA nephroblastoma in a fire-bellied newt, Cynops pyrrhogaster.
Nephroblastomas seem to be very rare in animals with mesonephritic kidneys (fishes and amphibia), although immense numbers of many species are kept as pets and in laboratories. A single case was recorded in the steelhead trout (5). The steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri, Rich.) is the same species as the rainbow trout, differing only in that it spends part of its life in the sea and returns to fr...
متن کاملEvidence for true fall-mating in Japanese newt Cynops pyrrhogaster.
The mating season of Japanese newt Cynops pyrrhogaster is generally thought to occur once a year in spring to early summer, during the months of April to June, as in many other Japanese amphibians. However, in fall, from September to October, we often observed breeding colored males demonstrating a mating behavior with females in the field. In this study, in order to identify their true mating ...
متن کاملSpontaneous epidermal tumor in an adult newt, Cynops pyrrhogaster.
Reports of spontaneous tumors occurring in urodele amphibians are rare (1-7, 9, 11, 13-15), and it has been suggested that animals that regenerate well, such as newts, retain powerful morphogenetic fields capable of controlling any aberrant cells that arise (8, 10, 12). It is certainly surprising that there are very few reports of spontaneous skin tumors in urodeles since, of all tumors, these ...
متن کاملEpidermal growth factor mediates spermatogonial proliferation in newt testis
The complex processes of spermatogenesis are regulated by various factors. The aim of the current study is to determine the effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on spermatogonial proliferation and clarify the mechanism causing the proliferation in newt testis. In the organ culture, EGF stimulated spermatogonial proliferation, but not their differentiation into spermatocytes. cDNA cloning ide...
