| Summary |
2 genotypes
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
 |
• at 5 weeks of age, mutant testes weigh ~40% less than those of wild-type mice
|
|
|
• at 5 weeks of age, mutant testes weigh ~40% less than those of wild-type mice

|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
|
|
• at 5 weeks of age, some double mutant germ cells appear to be detached from the Sertoli cells
|
|
|
• at 5 weeks of age, double mutant males show a significant reduction of spermatogenic cells, especially after the pachytene spermatocyte stage; round spermatids are significantly reduced in number, while elongated spermatids are rare
• at later ages, early germ cell stages are more severely affected, leading to pronounced depletion of spermatocytes and spermatogonia
|
|
|
• no spermatozoa are detected in the epididymis at 5 weeks of age
|
|
|
• at 5 weeks of age, double mutant testes display increased apoptosis of spermatogenic cells, as shown by TUNEL staining
• the majority of cells undergoing apoptosis are spermatocytes
|
|
|
• at 5 weeks of age, double mutant males show a ~50% reduction in seminiferous tubule diameter relative to wild-type males
|
|
|
|
|
|
• at 5 weeks of age, double mutant testes weigh ~65% less than those of wild-type mice
|
|
|
• double mutant males exhibit defects in several aspects of spermatogenesis, including severe degeneration of primary spermatocytes as well as degeneration of meiotically dividing spermatocytes and elongating spermatids
|
|
|
• at 5 weeks of age, the few remaining spermatids exhibit deformed nuclei
|
|
|
• double mutant males are infertile
• in contrast, double mutant females are fertile
|
|
|
• at 5 weeks of age, double mutant males show a ~50% reduction in seminiferous tubule diameter relative to wild-type males
