Spermatogonia of rainbow trout: III. In vitro study of the proliferative response to extracellular ATP and adenosine.

Abstract:

:Unlike in higher vertebrates, in fish it is not known whether the nerve supply of the testis can influence testicular functions or not. In addition to neurotransmitters, nerve terminals may release ATP and adenosine in the extracellular medium. On the assumption that these molecules might be released by fibers innervating the teleost testis, it is possible that they participate in the control of testicular function and, maybe, in the control of spermatogonia (Go) proliferation. This study addresses this issue. We have investigated the ability for extracellular ATP and adenosine to influence the in vitro incorporation, either basal or GTH-, IGF-I- and suramin-stimulated, of 3H-thymidine (3H-Tdr) by trout Go. Mixed suspensions of somatic and germ cells prepared from testes, which were immature or spermatogenetic, were cultured usually for 4.5 days in the presence or not of the tested molecules; 3H-Tdr was added during the last day in culture. In our cell culture conditions, 25 to 250 microM adenosine, ATP, ADP, and AMP stimulated the 3H-Tdr incorporation by Go from prespermatogenetic testes and from testes starting spermatogenesis, in a dose-dependent way. The effect of these molecules decreased when the testes were more advanced in spermatogenesis and it became inhibiting when the testes were in mid-spermatogenesis. Five'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) was as potent as adenosine in stimulating or inhibiting 3H-Tdr incorporation, while R-N6-(2-phenylisopropyl)adenosine (R-PIA) always had a marked inhibiting effect. Adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATPgammaS; 25-200 microM), a non-hydrolysable analogue of ATP, which had no effect on Go from prespermatogenetic testes (collected October-February) and from testes in advanced spermatogenesis, stimulated 3H-Tdr incorporation by Go from testes at the beginning of spermatogenesis very efficiently. The order of potency of the different ATP analogues was as follows: ATPgammaS > ATP congruent with alpha,beta-methylene-ATP > UTP > 2-methylthio-ATP. These data suggest that A2 adenosine receptors and P2 receptors would be present on unidentified testicular cells. The stimulating effect of adenosine/ATP was additive with that of either GTH-I or IGF-I or suramin when the cells were from testes at the beginning of spermatogenesis, but adenosine suppressed their effect when the cells were from testes in mid-spermatogenesis. In conclusion, our results suggest that in the trout extracellular adenosine and ATP are able to influence the in vitro proliferation of Go, and are potential candidates for mediating the possible influence of the nervous system on the induction, speeding up, then slowing down of spermatogenesis.
