To investigate the expression characteristic of the Daxx gene in the mouse testis and its role in spermatogenesis.
Real-time PCR, Western blot and immunofluorescence were used in examining the expression characteristics of DAXX in the testis tissue from wild-type, Sertoli cell-specific androgen receptor knockout (SCARKO) and androgen receptor knockout (ARKO) mice at different postnatal weeks .
The Daxx gene was highly expressed in the testis tissue and mainly in the nuclei of the wild-type mice at 4 postnatal weeks. Compared with the wild-type, the ARKO mice showed a markedly decreased expression of DAXX (0.299±0.026), which displayed a polar distribution in the spermatogenic cells (0.853±0.058) and exhibited no significant difference in the SCARKO mice (1.000±0.015).
The Daxx gene expression is the highest in the middle-stage development of the mouse testis, significantly decreased in ARKO mice as compared with the wild-type, and its location influenced by specific AR knockout in Sertoli cells. DAXX may be involved in the regulation of spermatogenesis in mice.
研究Daxx基因在小鼠睾丸中的表达特征及其在精子发生中的作用。
采用实时荧光定量PCR、蛋白质免疫印迹法和免疫荧光法检测野生型、支持细胞特异性雄激素受体敲除（SCARKO）和雄激素受体敲除（ARKO）小鼠在不同出生后周龄时睾丸组织中DAXX的表达特征。
Daxx基因在睾丸组织中高表达，在出生后4周的野生型小鼠中主要定位于细胞核。与野生型相比，ARKO小鼠中DAXX的表达显著降低（0.299±0.026），在生精细胞中呈极性分布（0.853±0.058），而在SCARKO小鼠中无显著差异（1.000±0.015）。
Daxx基因在小鼠睾丸发育中期表达最高，与野生型相比，ARKO小鼠中表达显著降低，其定位受支持细胞中特异性雄激素受体敲除的影响。DAXX可能参与小鼠精子发生的调控。
