Chromatoid body and small RNAs in male germ cells

Abstract: The chromatoid body (CB) is a germ granule in the cytoplasm of postmeiotic haploid round spermatids that is loaded with RNA and RNAbinding proteins. Following the discovery of small non-coding RNA-mediated gene regulation and the identification of PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) that have crucial roles in germ line development, the function of the CB has slowly begun to be revealed. Male germ cells utilise small RNAs to control the complex and specialised process of sperm production. Several microRNAs have been… Show more

“…TSSK1 and TSKS play a role in the formation and/or function of chromatoid body-derived structures in elongating spermatids (Shang et al 2010). The chromatoid body is a centre of RNA processing in developing round spermatids, but this may not be the only role for this structure (Meikar et al 2011). The role of the structures derived from the chromatoid body in further developed elongating spermatids is less clearly defined, but it has been hypothesized that they may have a role in the assembly of the mitochondrial sheath (Shang et al 2010).…”

“…Gene knockouts that deplete chromatoid body constituents produce male infertility, suggesting that the chromatoid body coordinates regulatory processes that are necessary for spermatid development (Meikar et al 2011). However, it is unclear whether the chromatoid body functions as a remodeling center, which regulates the interactions of RBPs and miRNAs with mRNAs, or a realization center, which carries out the consequences of these interactions.…”

“…De multiples prédictions bio-informatiques suggèrent que les miARN modulent l'expression de près de 60 % des gènes de mammifères (pour revue voir [4] [8,9]. Jusqu'à présent, le nombre de miARN identifiés dans le testicule est évalué à 141.…”

“…Les piARN prépachytènes sont générés grâce au cycle « ping-pong » qui requiert un réservoir de piARN primaires (en rouge) déjà présents dans la cellule, dont la genèse reste encore un mécanisme inconnu. Ils sont ensuite chargés sur la protéine MILI qui va produire un piARN secondaire (en bleu), clivé ensuite par le complexe MIWI2 pour donner naissance aux piARN terminaux impliqués dans la régulation et la dégradation d'éléments transposables délétères (pour revue voir [8]). Figure 2C).…”
