ragmented cRNA was hybridized for Bisulfite modification and sequencing of genomic DNA Firstly, isolation and purification of Genomic DNA was performed through phenol/chloroform extraction and ethanolprecipitation processes. Bisulfite conversion was conducted using the EZ DNA Methylation�Gold Kit, as indicated by the manufacturer. Briefly, unmethylated cytosines in DNA were converted into uracil via the heat-denaturation of DNA and with a specifically designed CT conversion reagent. DNA was then desulphonated and subsequently cleaned and eluted. The bisulfite-modified DNA was then immediately utilized for PCR or stored at or below miRNA analysis The miRNA assay probes correspond to Oct cDNA synthesis reaction was added to has been deposited in GeneBank and include the accession numbers. Spermatogenesis is a complex process during which diploid spermatogonia divide mitotically to provide a population of spermatocytes that proceed through meiosis to haploid spermatids which differenciate into spermatozoa. Multiplication, 1229652-21-4 chemical information differentiation and survival or death of testicular germ cells are tightly regulated by both endocrine and local interactions: in addition to the regulation exerted by FSH and LH, spermatogenesis requires testicular factors originating from somatic and/or germ cells. This process occurs in seminiferous tubules, where germ cells are nursed by Sertoli cells. Each Sertoli cell is able to support a limited number of germ cells, in a species-specific manner. We have previously shown that b-Nerve growth factor participates in the regulation of spermatocyte differentiation by blocking secondary spermatocytes in metaphase leading to a reduction of round spermatid formation in cocultures of pachytene spermatocytes with Sertoli cells. Masui and Market postulated the presence of a specific factor in the cytoplasm of the oocyte blocked in MPII, and named this factor ��cytostatic factor”. Sagata et al proposed that the proto-oncogene Mos, a germ-cell-specific protein kinase uniquely induced at the beginning of oocyte maturation, was responsible for this CSF arrest in Xenopus eggs. Subsequently, the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway comprising the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinases CSF Proteins in Spermatocytes gression, suggesting a role of MAPKs in this process. However informations on the proteins constitutive of CSF and their role, if any, are scarce in the male. In the first part of the present study we highlighted the presence of Mos, Emi Results Components of CSF are present in male germ cells RT-PCR. The mRNAs encoding Mos, Emi The Regulation of Mos and EmiWe investigated next whether b-NGF led to some changes in either Mos or Emi Discussion The four identified constituents of CSF are present in male rat meiotic cells For Mos, Emi CSF Proteins in Spermatocytes PCR. Subsequently, Mos mRNA and/or protein were found in rodent and frog PS and rodent RS and in rat late PS in culture. However, in disagreement with our results, van der Hoorn et al. saw the October CSF Proteins in Spermatocytes meiosis than in the oocyte. The presence of these four proteins throughout the long prophase of MI might compensate the short duration of MII which would not be sufficient for the establishment of a CSF-like arrest. A second explanation could be the different fates of the oocyte and of the SII, both blocked in MPII. Whereas in the oocyte, the establishment of CSF activity at the end of MI and
