N normal phenotype
reproductive system
• elongated spermatids are rarely found in the seminiferous tubules
• multinucleated cysts containing degenerated round spermatids are observed
• testis weight is significantly lower than that in age-matched heterozygous controls
• spermatogenesis is generally normal until the early round spermatid stage
• elongated spermatids are rarely found in the seminiferous tubules, and multinucleated cysts containing degenerated round spermatids are observed
• at ~P24 (around the onset of spermiogenesis) cluster-derived pachytene PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNAs) are reduced while transposon-derived (intron-, SINE-, LINE-, and LTR-derived) piRNAs are increased in the testes
• both MILI-bound and MIWI-bound pachytene cluster-derived piRNAs are reduced
• LINE-1 expression is not detected in testes, indicating that arrested spermiogenesis is not due to LINE-1 derepression
• male mice bred with wild-type females for 8 weeks fail to sire any offspring
