Abstract
MicroRNAs play a crucial role in sperm formation, but its specific function remains unknown. Here, we found that gga-miR-218 regulates chicken sperm formation through in/ex vivo experiments. We constructed over-expression/interference carrier to overexpress and inhibit gga-miR-218 in chicken spermatogonial stem cells, separately, the detection of haploid and QRT-PCR of meiosis related genes revealed that gga-miR-218 inhibits meiosis. After injection of miR-218 in vivo, semen concentration and HE (Hematoxylin and Eosin staining) revealed that gga-miR-218 inhibits meiosis. Meanwhile, we discovered that gga-miR-218 could target Stra8 by prediction software which can inhibit the wild-type fluorescence activity by co-transfection of gga-miR-218 with the Stra8 3′ untranslated regions fluorescent reporter vector (wild-type/mutant), QRT-PCR and Western blot showed that gga-miR-218 inhibits the expression level of Stra8 by targeting its 3′ untranslated regions directly. Finally, we suggest that gga-miR-218 could target to srta8 directly and inhibit spermatogenesis.
期刊介绍:
Mechanisms of Development is an international journal covering the areas of cell biology and developmental biology. In addition to publishing work at the interphase of these two disciplines, we also publish work that is purely cell biology as well as classical developmental biology.
Mechanisms of Development will consider papers in any area of cell biology or developmental biology, in any model system like animals and plants, using a variety of approaches, such as cellular, biomechanical, molecular, quantitative, computational and theoretical biology.
Areas of particular interest include:
Cell and tissue morphogenesis
Cell adhesion and migration
Cell shape and polarity
Biomechanics
Theoretical modelling of cell and developmental biology
Quantitative biology
Stem cell biology
Cell differentiation
Cell proliferation and cell death
Evo-Devo
Membrane traffic
Metabolic regulation
Organ and organoid development
Regeneration
Mechanisms of Development does not publish descriptive studies of gene expression patterns and molecular screens; for submission of such studies see Gene Expression Patterns.
