Androgens and spermatogenesis: lessons from transgenic mouse models
Transgenic mouse models have contributed considerably to our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which androgens control spermatogenesis. Cell-selective ablation of the androgen receptor (AR) in Sertoli cells (SC) results in a complete block in meiosis and unambiguously identifies the SC as the main cellular mediator of the effects of androgens on spermatogenesis. This con...
متن کاملGenomics of vasculitis: lessons from mouse models.
A genome analysis of mouse models may shed some light on the complex clinicopathological manifestations of systemic vasculitis. In the study of susceptibility loci to vasculitis in MRL mouse models, we found that systemic vasculitis developed through the cumulative effect of multiple gene loci, each of which by itself did not have a significant effect in inducing the related phenotype, thus ind...
متن کاملPancreatic cancer: translating lessons from mouse models.
Pancreatic cancer is the 10th most common cancer and 4th cause of cancer related deaths. Progress in diagnosis and treatment has been slow and disappointing but improvement in understanding of pathogenesis and of molecular changes may offer some ground for rational and etiological approach. During the last ten years the first evidence about the benefit of targeting dysregulated pathways was pro...
متن کاملUnderstanding adipose tissue development from transgenic animal models.
The World Health Organization has recognized obesity as a health problem of pandemic proportions. Recent work led to major breakthroughs in the understanding of the molecular basis of adipose tissue development with the cloning and characterization of numerous genes involved in fat cell differentiation and metabolism. Transgenesis has proved very useful in establishing the physiological roles o...
متن کاملCarcinogenesis in transgenic mouse models.
Background: Safe and effective weight control strategies are needed to stem the current obesity epidemic. The objective of this one-year study was to document and compare the macronutrient and micronutrient levels in the foods chosen by women following two different weight reduction interventions. Methods: Ninety-six generally healthy overweight or obese women (ages 25–50 years; BMI 25– 35 kg/m...
