Abstract:
:More than half of ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease) family members are expressed in mammalian male reproductive organs such as testis and epididymis. The ADAM19 gene identified in mouse is a member of the ADAM family and is highly enriched in testes of a newborn mouse. The present study was performed to determine its expression pattern in whole mouse testes in vivo as well as its in vitro action and regulation in testis cells from 2-day-old mice. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detected ADAM19 mRNA from 15.5 days postcoitum (dpc) to 21 days postpartum (dpp), with high expression during the perinatal period. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated ADAM19 protein localization to the seminiferous cords at both embryonic and postnatal ages examined (from 15.5-19.5 dpc to 2 dpp). In particular, we obtained new evidence that a neutralizing antibody to ADAM19 had no influence on the proliferation of 2 dpp testis cells cultured in serum-free medium when compared to controls. Interestingly, it inhibited the 2 dpp testis cell proliferation elicited by stimulation with 10% FCS (P<0.01) or FSH (P<0.05). Lastly, using a model of 2 dpp testis cell cultures and RT-PCR procedures, we demonstrated that follicle stimulating-hormone (FSH) reduced the levels of ADAM19 mRNA in a time-dependent manner. Taken together, these results indicate that the expression of ADAM19 may be subject to regulation by FSH during mouse testis development. Furthermore, ADAM19 can act to regulate the proliferation of perinatal testis cells in the perinatal period.
