RESUMEN

As the spermatogenesis- and oogenesis-specific basic helix-loop-helix 1 (SOHLH1) transcription factor has been shown to be essential for spermatogonial differentiation in mice, we examined the immunoexpression of this protein in the testis of the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) during puberty, the stage of development when spermatogonial differentiation is initiated in higher primates. Immunopositive SOHLH1 cells were observed only on the basement membrane of the seminiferous cords and tubules. Prior to puberty, essentially 100% of SOHLH1-positive spermatogonia co-expressed the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor family receptor alpha 1 (GFRα1), a marker for undifferentiated spermatogonia, and >80% of the immunopositive SOHLH1 cells exhibited only cytoplasmic staining of this transcription factor. Nuclear-only SOHLH1 was found in <10% of spermatogonia in testes from pre-pubertal animals. Puberty was associated with a dramatic and progressive increase in the percentage of immunopositive SOHLH1 cells with nuclear-only staining, and this was associated with (i) a marked reduction in the fraction (∼100-20%) of SOHLH1-positive germ cells co-expressing GFRα1 and (ii) a significant increase in the proportion of SOHLH1-positive spermatogonia that co-expressed the tyrosine kinase receptor (cKIT). Spermatogonia exhibiting nuclear SOHLH1 staining were found to be cKIT positive, but not all cKIT-positive spermatogonia exhibited nuclear SOHLH1 staining. Taken together, these results suggest that, in the monkey, nuclear location of SOHLH1 is closely associated with spermatogonial differentiation.
