넙치의 웅성생식세포의 발달과 정자 구조를 광학현미경과 투과전자현미경을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 곡정세관의 각 소낭내의 생식상피에서는 분열 증식중인 정원세포군이 염기성 염료에 미약하게 반응하기 시작한다. 정소조직의 계속적인 발달로 각 소낭내에는 분열증식중인 정모세포군을 관찰할 수 있다. 이후 소엽내강에는 상당수의 초기 정세포를 관찰할 수 있으며, 더욱 더 발달된 변태된 정자를 볼 수 있다. 투과전자현미경에 의한 관찰에서 간기의 정원세포는 세포질이 미약한 반면, 커다란 핵과 뚜렷한 인을 가진다. 제1정모세포의 핵내에서는 연접사 복합체 (synaptonemal complex)가 뚜렷하고 세포질내에서는 세포소기관이 증가한다. 제2정모세포의 핵질은 응축되어 높은 전자밀도를 나타낸다. 정세포는 세포질과 핵질이 응축되면서 타원형의 형태를 취하고, 미토콘드리아는 핵의 후방으로 위치한다. 변태를 마친 정자는 두부와 미부로 구성되며 무첨체형이다. 두부 후방에서는 cytoplasmic collar는 6개의 미토콘드리아를 가진다. 미부에서는 axonemal lateral fin을 관찰할 수 있다. 미부 편모 축사의 횡단면은 "9+2"의 미세소관 구조를 나타낸다.

Nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDPKs) are conserved through evolution and have been shown to be involved in various biological phenomena. By functional screening in yeast, we identified a new member of the NDPK family, ㎚23-M5, which encodes a 211-amino acid protein with 86% identify to the human homolog, ㎚23-H5. Northern blot analysis reveals that ㎚23-M5 encodes two transcripts of 0.8 and 0.7 kb, which are highly and specifically expressed in adult testis. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis shows that nm23-M5 first appears in pachytene spermatocytes and increase chain reaction in abundance through subsequent stages. (omitted)

Achieving of in vitro development for mammalian premature spermatogenic cells are very difficult. In-vitro culture of spermatogenic cells were then initiated in an effort to try to study in vivo spermatogenesis and to understand its molecular events. Recently, the morphogenetic changes of spermatocytes or spermatid by in-vitro culture system were achieved. (omitted)

Phospholipase D (PLD), a superfamily of signaling enzymes that most commonly generate the lipid second messenger Phosphatidic Acid (PA), is found in diverse organisms from bacteria to man and functions in multiple cellular pathways. A fascinating member of the family, MitoPLD, is anchored to the mitochondrial surface and has two reported roles. In the first role, MitoPLD-generated PA regulates mitochondrial shape through facilitating mitochondrial fusion. In the second role, MitoPLD performs a critical function in a pathway that creates a specialized form of RNAi required by developing spermatocytes to suppress transposon mobilization during meiosis. This spermatocyte-specific RNAi, known as piRNA, is generated in the nuage, an electron-dense accumulation of RNA templates and processing proteins that localize adjacent to mitochondria in a structure also called intermitochondrial cement. In this review, we summarize recent findings on these roles for MitoPLD functions, highlighting directions that need to be pursued to define the underlying mechanisms.

일본산메추리(Coturnix coturnix japonica)의 핵형연구를 위하여 정소조직 및 백혈구, 초기태아조직들로서 염색체 분석을 수행하였다. 이들 염색체의 수는 정상 이배체(2n)가 78개로 나타나고, 계2 감수분열 중기상태의 정모세포의 관찰에서 반수체(n)가 39개로 나타났다. 한편 8개의 대형염색체 및 성 염상체에 대한 형태적 분석은 동원체지수 및 상대적 길이비로서 측정하였다. 이용된 여러 조직간의 염색체의 형태적 차이는 거의 없는 것으로 나타났으나 4번 염색체템서 p-alm의 존재유무에 따라 상당한 변이를 나타내었다.

We examined the ultrastructure of eupyrene and apyrene spermatogenesis in the testis of Helicoverpa assulta (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). The spermatogenesis was progressed near the fringe adjacent to the follicular layer of the testicular follicle, surrounding the apical cell concentrically. Eupyrene and apyrene were firstly distinguished at the telophase stage of the primary spermatocyte. Chromatin was evenly scattered in eupyrene nuclei, whereas it was lumped near the nuclear envelope in apyrene spermatogenesis. Then, the nucleus of eupyrene was transformed into two daughter nuclei by meiosis, while the nucleus of apyrene was divided into many micronuclei by irregular meiosis. After the meiosis was completed, a number of mitochondria in the cytoplasm of the early spermatids of the eupyrene and the apyrene were fused into one nebenkern. Also, as axial filament was formed due to the elongation of the spermatid, the nebenkern became splitted into mitochondrial derivatives. An acrosome precursor was present only in the eupyrene, attached to nuclear envelope.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cyclophosphamide on the mouse seminiferous tubules by transmission electron microscopy at different groups: a control group, a group treated one time a week, and a group treated two times a week. Cyclophosphamide was injected in the intraperitoneal at a dosage of level 200mg/kg. The results obtained were as follows. 1. In the group of one time a week, pyknotic body and large vesicles were observed in cytoplasm of spermatogonium of seminiferous tubules, and in the intercellular space between spermatocytes, respectively. 2. In the group of two times a week, nucleus envelope in the spermatid was disrupted partially, observed vesicles in the nucleoplasm of spermatid, and separated or disrupted inner and outer membranes of mitochondria in the Sertoli cells.

Effects of nonylphenol (NP) on gonadal development and growth of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus were investigated. NP treatment was carried out to fry fish (during 55 to 64 days after hatching) using oral adminstration at nominal NP concentrations of 50, 100 and 150 tig/g BW Gonad before NP treatment was sexually undifferentiated as observed with mostly gonia cells. At 159 days after hatching, ovarian lamella of ovary were filled with oogonia and perinucleolus oocytes. On the other hand, testicular lobules of the testis were occupied by spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids. Histological observation of ovary and testis development was any different between the control and NP treated groups. However, growth was significantly increased in NP treated groups than control groups (P< 0.05). These results considerate that NP has any effect for sex differentiation and gonadal development, but act for early growth in olive flounder.

This study was carried out to assess the reproductive toxicity of 2-bromopropane (S-BP) using spermatogenesis stage classification and Sertoli cell indices (SCI).Vehicle control olive oil and 2-BP doses of 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg of body weight were injected in the interaperitoneum of 12 weeks male Sprague-Dawley rats for 28 days respectively of SCI on germ cells including the spermatogonia of stages II-III, Ⅵ,Ⅹ, XII, ⅩIII, and spermatocytes of stages VIII (preleptotene), Ⅹ (leptotene), XII (leptotene), V and Ⅵ (pachytene), and the round spermatids of stage Ⅵ. Considering the process of maturation depletion in spermatonesis, spermatogonia may be the primary target cells of 2-BP toxicity.

The three-dimensional structure of the Sertoli cell in the rat was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Morphologically, seven types of Sertoli cell processes were evident : Shrot, flat and ramified processes are projected from the lateral side of the basal portion of Sertoli cell. Leaf-like processes are attached to the surface of spermatocytes and spermatids. Slender cord-like processes, flat and irregular shaped processes, sucker-like processes and club-like processes are observated in the middle and apical portion of seminiferous epithelium. The sheet-like processes rest upon more than one-thirds of the surface of each spermatogonium, spermatocyes and spermatids located in the proximity of the Sertoli cell. All Sertoli processes are originated from Sertoli cell column. Just before spermiation, the processes which are attached to the head of maturation spermatid are eliminated. Though the mechanism for elimination of residual body is not known, these observations segget that the Sertoli cell process are thought to have a reciprocity with the germ cells.
