Rationale: Busulfan is currently an indispensable anti-cancer drug, particularly for children, but the side effects on male reproduction are so serious that critical drug management needed to minimize any negative impact. Meanwhile, alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) natural products with many consequent advantages, have attracted a great deal of pharmaceutical attention. In current investigation, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing murine testes treated busulfan and/or AOS define...

Abstract Background Clinical data suggest that male reproductive dysfunction especially infertility is a critical issue for type 1 diabetic patient (T1D) because most of them are at the age. Gut dysbiosis involved in T1D related infertility. However, improved gut microbiota can be used to boost spermatogenesis and fertility remains incompletely understood. Methods was established ICR (CD1) mice with streptozotocin. Alginate oligosaccharide (AOS) (fecal transplantation (FMT) from AOS...

High-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity is known to be associated with reduced male fertility and decreased semen quality in humans. HFD-related infertility a growing issue worldwide, it crucial overcome this problem ameliorate the distress of infertile couples. For first time, we discovered that fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) alginate oligosaccharide (AOS)-improved gut (A10-FMT) ameliorated HFD-decreased (sperm concentration: 286.1 ± 14.1 versus 217.9 17.4 million/mL; sperm motility:...

Abstract The rapid development of high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing technology offers a good opportunity to dissect cell heterogeneity animals. A large number organism-wide atlases have been constructed for vertebrates such as Homo sapiens , Macaca fascicularis Mus musculus and Danio rerio . However, an intermediate taxon that links mammals more ancient origin is still lacking. Here, we construct the first Xenopus landscape date, including larval adult organs. Common...

Zearalenone (ZEA), a F-2 mycotoxin produced by Fusarium, has been found to be an endocrine disruptor through oestrogen receptor signalling pathway impair spermatogenesis. The disruption on reproductive systems ZEA exposure might transgenerational. In our previous report, we have that low dose (lower than no-observed effect level, NOEL) of impaired mouse spermatogenesis and decreased semen quality. purpose the current investigation was explore impacts low-dose in offspring after prenatal...

With the evolution of pandemic caused by Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) have invariably been a golden standard in clinical diagnosis. Nevertheless, traditional polymerase reaction (PCR) is not feasible for field application due to its drawbacks, such as time-consuming and laboratory-based dependence. To overcome these challenges, microchip-based ultrafast PCR system called SWM-02 was proposed make assay rapid, portable, low-cost...

Male factors-caused decline in total fertility has raised significant concern worldwide. LncRNAs have been identified to play various roles biological systems, including spermatogenesis. This study aimed explore the role of lncRNA5251 mouse spermatogenesis.The expression was modulated testes vivo or spermatogonial stem cells (C18-4 cells) vitro by shRNA.The sperm motility two generations mice after modulation (muF0 and muF1) decreased significantly overexpression lncRNA5251.

Our previous study confirmed the beneficial effects of chestnut polysaccharides (CPs) on spermatogenesis process, but exact mechanism is not clear. Several studies have demonstrated importance balanced gut microbiota in maintaining normal reproductive function. In this study, we investigated biological functions CPs from perspective function, expecting to find out specific restoring impaired spermatogenesis.

Abstract Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are the dominant feature of higher plant genomes, which have a similar life cycle with retrovirus. Previous studies cannot account for all observed complex LTR retrotransposon patterns. In this study, we first identified 63 in rice genome, and most elements harbored flanking target-site duplications (TSDs). But these outermost LTRs had not highly homologous can’t be explained. We propose new model that recombination two different normal...
