Analysis of gene expression during spermatogenesis in mice
Suchan, Jan ; Stopka, Pavel (advisor) ; Hortová, Kateřina (referee)
Spermatogenesis is very unique and complex process regulating and be amenable to reproductive behaviour equally. These processes are affected by outer factors such as social stimuli, represented by interaction between male and female. Mice belong to mammals with high sensitivity to chemical signals. Hence pheromonal communication takes important part in their life. Pheromones have effect on expression activity in testicular tissue throught hormonal pathways. A target of these regulations are for example proteins participating in immunity or competition actions. Phenotype plasticity might proceed on the level of DNA as well as on the level of gene expression. That's why we take interest if factors like social contacts are able to significantly change expression of genes involved in reproduction pathways. We are also interested in possibility that expression changes of target genes take part in speciation events. In this study we demonstrate the effect of short-term social contact to gene expression of biochemical pathways involved in spermatogenesis and by other pathways linked together with reproductive bahaviour. This involvement might be direct or indirect. We found genes, whose level of expression in testicular tissue is different between species Mus m. musculus and Mus m. domesticus. Here I provide...
