Nuclear Androgen Receptor Regulates Testes Organization and Oocyte Maturation in Zebrafish.
Androgens act through the nuclear androgen receptor (AR) to regulate gonad differentiation and development. In mice, AR is necessary for spermatogenesis, testis development, and formation of external genitalia in males and oocyte maturation in females. However, the extent to which these phenotypes are conserved in nonmammalian vertebrates is not well understood. Here, we generate zebrafish with...
متن کاملP-231: Androgen Receptor Gene Expression in Azoospermia Men
Background: Androgens are critical steroid hormones in progression of spermatogenesis process and determine the male phenotype that their actions are mediated by the androgen receptor (AR), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. In the Androgen receptor, transactivation domain encoded by exon 1, DNA binding domain encoded by exons 2 and 3, hinge region encoded by part of exon 4, and C-te...
متن کاملP-121: Assessment of Microtubule and Nuclear Status at Different Intervals of Bovine In Vitro Oocyte Maturation
Background: Mammalian oocyte undergoes a series of structural nuclear modulations during maturation in order to obtain full competence to support fertilization and early embryonic development. Microtubules are major cytoskeleton components and have pivotal modulators for chromosomal movement, and it has been shown that partial or immature spindle organization may compromise correct ploidy of th...
متن کاملSelective modulation of genomic and nongenomic androgen responses by androgen receptor ligands.
Steroids can induce both transcription-dependent (genomic) and independent (nongenomic) signaling. Here, several classical androgen receptor ligands were tested for their ability to modulate genomic and nongenomic responses, focusing on the role of the oocyte-expressed Xenopus classical androgen receptor (XeAR) in mediating these processes. Cellular fractionation and immunohistochemistry reveal...
متن کاملInduction and inhibition of oocyte maturation by EDCs in zebrafish
BACKGROUND Oocyte maturation in lower vertebrates is triggered by maturation-inducing hormone (MIH), which acts on unidentified receptors on the oocyte surface and induces the activation of maturation-promoting factor (MPF) in the oocyte cytoplasm. We previously described the induction of oocyte maturation in fish by an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC), diethylstilbestrol (DES), a nonsteroid...
