Abstract

Communication between Sertoli cell is essential during spermatogenesis and testicular development in mice, and the dynamic balance of this communication is regulated by some adhesion proteins. In this study, we found that SPATA33 and CTNNA3 were involved in this process. Quantitative real-time PCR and western blotting showed similar trend of expression of two proteins in the testis of mice of different ages. Subsequently, CRISPR-Cas9 technique was used to prepare Spata33 knockout cell lines with TM4 cells, cell wound scratch assay showed that Spata33 gene knockout affected cell migration, and flow cytometry assay showed that Spata33 knockout resulted in a decreased percentage of G1 phase cells in TM4 cell line. In addition, phalloidin staining assay showed that Spata33 gene knockout disrupted the formation of F-actin. Moreover, the protein immunoprecipitation experiment showed the interaction between SPATA33 and CTNNA3, which affected the interaction between CTNNA3 and CTNNB1. SPATA33 inhibits the formation of CDH1-CTNNB1-CTNNA3 complex through its interaction with CTNNA3, thus weakening adhesion between Sertoli cell and promoting cell migration.
