Metastasis tumor antigen 1 is involved in the resistance to heat stress-induced testicular apoptosis.

Abstract:

:Our previous study documented the expression of Mta1 during spermatogenesis. Here, we present evidence for a possible involvement of Mta1 in the regulation of testicular function, possibly by interacting with p53. A notable decrease of Mta1 expression was revealed at postsurgical day 6, consistent with the previously reported upregulation of p53 in mouse cryptorchidism. Furthermore, in vitro over-expression of Mta1 could remarkably elevate the resistance capability of spermatogenic tumor cells against heat-induced apoptosis with a marked impairment of p53 expression. These findings indicate that Mta1 may operate as a negative modifier of apoptosis by interacting with p53 during gametogenesis.
