@article{Ketkar2013DifferentialEO, title={Differential Expression of Genes Involved in Early Events of Spermatogenesis in Mice}, author={Alhad Ashok Ketkar and K V R Reddy}, journal={Journal of Cell Science and Therapy}, year={2013}, volume={4}, pages={1-8} }
Spermatogenesis is a highly complex process involved in the transmission of genetic information from one generation to next generation. The process takes place in the seminiferous tubules of the testis and is regulated by genes that control cell division, cell-cell interaction and morphogenetic changes in both the somatic and germ cell lineages in a highly orchestrated pattern. The first wave of spermatogenesis in mouse is typically characterized by the differential expression of genes involved…

Genomic editing of in-vitro cultured germ cells could also potentially cure flaws in spermatogenesis due to genomic mutation and this ex-vivo maturation technique with genomic editing may be used to prevent paternal transmission of genomic diseases.

A developmental testis gene expression time course profiling the expression patterns of ∼36 000 transcripts on the Affymetrix MGU74v2 GeneChip platform at 11 distinct time points was created to gain a greater understanding of the molecular changes necessary for and elicited by the development of the testis.

It is suggested that Oct-4 does play an important role in deciding the fate of undifferentiated spermatogonia by controlling their proliferation and differentiation by shRNA mediated gene silencing approach.

Drawing mainly on studies in spermatogenesis, this review shows that some of these genes are transcribed exclusively in germ cells, while others are also transcribed in somatic cells.

Comparison of data generated in this study to other stem cell types suggests that self-renewal in SSCs is regulated by distinctly different molecular mechanisms.
Age affects gene expression in mouse spermatogonial stem/progenitor cells.

The expression levels of the genes encoding the SSC markers Gfra1 and Plzf did not seem to be significantly altered by age, indicating that age affects only certain SSC/progenitor properties.
Male germ cell gene expression.

Male germ cell development consists of an assortment of unique processes, including meiosis, genetic recombination, haploid gene expression, formation of the acrosome and flagellum, and remodeling and condensation of the chromatin.
Abnormal sperm in mice with targeted deletion of the act (activator of cAMP-responsive element modulator in testis) gene.

The phenotype of mice in which targeted disruption of the act gene was obtained by homologous recombination indicates that numerous postmeiotic genes under CREM control require the coactivator function of ACT, and fine-tuning of sperm development is achieved by the coordinated action of two transcriptional regulators.
