Immunohistochemical distribution of S-100 protein and subunits (S100-α and S100-β) in the swamp-type water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) testis

Abstract: The distribution and localization of S-100 protein (S-100) and its subunits (S100-alpha and S100-beta) in the testis of swamp-type water buffalo were investigated using immunohistochemistry. S-100 was detected in the Sertoli cells in the convoluted seminiferous tubules, modified Sertoli cells lining the terminal segment of the seminiferous tubules and in the intratesticular excurrent ducts (straight tubules and rete testis). S100-beta showed the same distribution and localization with that of S-100. However, t… Show more

“…In the testis of roosters, pigeons, and rabbits, the S-100 was generally localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus of Sertoli cells. These findings are consistent with numerous approaches (Table 2) that investigated the localization of S-100 in the testis of several mammalian species including bovine [20, 21, 22], sheep [21], rat [21, 24], cat [21, 26], ram, boar, horse, dog [20, 21], buffalo [27], monkey [29], and human [24, 30]. Although the exact testicular function of S-100 is yet unclear, it is striking to note that the bulk of the cell types staining positive for S-100 exhibit special morphological features [24] such as Sertoli cells [20].…”

“…S-100 protein in the Sertoli cells is assumed to be involved in the microtubule assembly-disassembly system [29]. Further on, the protein may play a role in the secretory and absorptive functions and may be involved in establishing the blood-testis barrier [21, 27]. Nevertheless, S-100 was not localized to Sertoli cells of the Sudani ducks.…”
