Abstract

β-TrCP is the substrate recognition subunit of an SCF-type ubiquitin ligase. We recently showed that deletion of the genes for both β-TrCP1 and β-TrCP2 paralogs in germ cells of male mice resulted in accumulation of the transcription factor DMRT1 and spermatogenic failure, whereas systemic β-TrCP1 knockout combined with β-TrCP2 knockdown had previously been shown to lead to disruption of testicular organization and accumulation of the transcription factor SNAIL. Here we investigated β-TrCP function in Sertoli cells by generating mice with targeted deletion of the β-TrCP2 gene in Sertoli cells on a background of whole-body β-TrCP1 knockout. Loss of β-TrCP in Sertoli cells caused infertility due to a reduction in the number of mature sperm. Whereas spermatogonia were not affected, male germ cells entered meiosis prematurely and the number of round spermatids was reduced in the mutant mice. Extracts of Sertoli cells and of the testis from the mutant mice manifested accumulation of SNAIL, and expression of the SNAIL target gene for E-cadherin was down-regulated in Sertoli cells from these animals. Our results indicate that β-TrCP in Sertoli cells regulates Sertoli cell-germ cell interaction through degradation of SNAIL, with such regulation being critical for sperm development.

摘要

β-TrCP是SCF型泛素连接酶的底物识别亚基。我们最近发现,雄性小鼠生殖细胞中β-TrCP1和β-TrCP2两个旁系同源基因的缺失导致转录因子DMRT1的积累和生精失败,而此前已表明全身性β-TrCP1基因敲除与β-TrCP2基因敲低相结合会导致睾丸组织紊乱和转录因子SNAIL的积累。在此,我们通过在全身β-TrCP1基因敲除的背景下生成在支持细胞中靶向缺失β-TrCP2基因的小鼠,来研究支持细胞中β-TrCP的功能。支持细胞中β-TrCP的缺失由于成熟精子数量减少而导致不育。精原细胞未受影响,但雄性生殖细胞过早进入减数分裂,突变小鼠中圆形精子细胞的数量减少。突变小鼠的支持细胞提取物和睾丸提取物显示出SNAIL的积累,并且这些动物的支持细胞中E-钙黏蛋白的SNAIL靶基因表达下调。我们的结果表明,支持细胞中的β-TrCP通过降解SNAIL来调节支持细胞与生殖细胞的相互作用,这种调节对精子发育至关重要。
