摘要: Leydig cells are the primary source of testosterone in testes, and their steroidogenic function is strictly controlled by hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad axis. Emerging evidence has indicated that fibroblast growth factors play a role regulating stem cell development steroidogenesis, but little known about regulatory mechanism. Using seminiferous tubule culture system, we demonstrated basic factor (bFGF) can promote proliferation commitment toward differentiation testosterone-producing cells. However, these promoting effects decreased with an increase bFGF dose. Previous studies have reported inhibits luteinizing hormone (LH)-stimulated androgen production downregulating mRNA expression genes immature levels 677 microRNAs did not change significantly during LH-mediated process synthesis. Five (miR-29a, -29c, -142-3p, -451 -335) were identified, was regulated simultaneously LH. These results suggested inhibition LH-stimulated may be modulated bFGF-mediated microRNA expression, which further impacts signaling pathway biosynthesis gene expression.
