Granular transformation of Sertoli cells in testicular disorders.

Abstract:

:In order to study the granular transformation of Sertoli cells the following testicular specimens were reviewed: 58 postmortem biopsies from 21 children and 37 young adult males with normal histologic pattern; 165 biopsies from prepubertal cryptorchid testes; 38 biopsies and 18 surgical specimens from postpubertal-cryptorchid testes; bilateral biopsies from eight men with Del Castillo's syndrome, 14 men with retractile testes, and five men with obstructive azospermia; 17 bilateral and seven unilateral biopsies from 24 men with varicocele; seven unilateral biopsies plus five surgical specimens from 12 men with male pseudohermaphroditism; one biopsy and one surgical specimen from two men with macroorchidism; and the autopsy specimens from 28 adult men with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Sertoli cells with eosinophilic granular cytoplasm were found in the testes of one prepubertal and four postpubertal cryptorchid males, two males with Del Castillo's syndrome, two males with retractile testes, four males with varicocele, two male pseudohermaphrodites, two males with macroorchidism, and one male with AIDS and interstitial orchitis. Histochemical and ultrastructural examination of granular Sertoli cells revealed that these cells accumulate secondary lysosomes and show scant cytoplasmic organelles. In the males with varicocele or retractile testes, these lysosomes were probably heterolysosomes that had degraded the germ cells and testicular fluid accumulated in the lumen of the ectatic seminiferous tubules of these testes. A similar mechanism is also probable in the male with interstitial orchitis that had caused germ cell destruction. In the other cases, in which the tubules showed reduced lumen and severe germ cell depletion, the abundant lysosomes are probably cytolysosomes. The development of these cytolysosomes might be related to the Sertoli cell dysgenesis present in these testes.
