The integrity of the laminin structure in fetal testis cords requires oestrogen signalling but overexposure to xenoestrogens in the adult can cause testicular dysgenesis. However, whether xenoestrogens affect laminin formation in developing testes has not been investigated. Here we examined the effects of atrazine in the marsupial tammar wallaby during early development and compare it with the effects of the anti-androgen flutamide, oestrogen, and the oestrogen degrader fulvestrant. The tammar, like all marsupials, gives birth to altricial young, allowing direct treatment of the developing young during the male programming window (day 20-40 post partum (pp)). Male pouch young were treated orally with atrazine (5 mg/kg), flutamide (10 mg/kg), 17β-oestradiol (2.5 mg/kg) and fulvestrant (1 mg/kg) daily from day 20 to 40 pp. Distribution of laminin, vimentin, SOX9 and DDX4, cell proliferation and mRNA expression of SRY, SOX9, AMH, and SF1 were examined in testes at day 50 post partum after the treatment. Direct exposure to atrazine, flutamide, 17β-oestradiol, and fulvestrant all disorganised laminin but had no effect on vimentin distribution in testes. Atrazine reduced the number of germ cells and Sertoli cells when examined at day 40-50 pp and day 20 to 40 pp, respectively.

Adenomyosis, characterized by the invasive growth of endometrial tissue into the myometrium, is believed to negatively impact fertility. However, the challenge lies in disentangling this influence, as adenomyosis often coexists with other gynecological diseases. A tamoxifen-induced mice model presents a significant advantage by enabling the specific study of adenomyosis, devoid of confounding influences of concurrent gynecological diseases such as endometriosis. Focusing exclusively on adenomyosis, our study aims to elucidate pathogenic mechanisms underlying fertility issues, focusing on estrous cyclicity, ovarian follicle development, and overall fertility. Our findings uncover disruptions in estrous cyclicity, characterized by an increased duration of time spent in the estrus phase in adenomyosis-induced mice. These disturbances are potentially linked to observed compromised folliculogenesis and the remarkable reduction in litter number and size in mice affected by adenomyosis. Moreover, this study unveils potential drivers of subfertility such as progesterone resistance and altered endometrial receptivity. Within the uteri of mice with adenomyosis, reduced expression of the progesterone receptor and a decreased expression of two implantation-related markers (HoxA10 and integrin β3) were observed. This comprehensive examination sheds light on the nuanced complexities of adenomyosis-associated reproductive challenges, providing a foundation for targeted interventions in addressing fertility issues related to this disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":21127,"journal":{"name":"Reproduction","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11056956/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140060389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
