There is no better example of the data being generated on spermatogenesis than this fine journal, which is dedicated just to that process. In contrast, non-mammalian vertebrates historically have not received the intense attention that their synapsid kin have. This lag in data generation is unfortunate, especially since these basal taxa are the most speciose and have the greatest diversity of reproductive strategies within both sexes within the Vertebrata. For example, squamate reptiles currently number over 9,000 different species and within lizards and snakes only a handful of studies have been performed on the fine morphology of germ cells as they pass through the phase of spermatogenesis. Because of this lack of data, our understanding of the mechanisms of endocrine control, seasonality, germ cell output, evolutionary implications, and reproductive strategy influences on spermatogenesis are not well understood. Key features such as what controls refractory period, recrudescence, or continuous versus seasonal spermatogenesis is unknown. Basic data on the morphology of germ cell development and the ultrastructural features of spermatogonia, spermatocytes, and spermatids would allow one to make better inferences on the control and mechanisms involved in the physiological timing of spermatogenesis in these fantastic vertebrates. Also, many of the basal taxa of vertebrates spend a large percentage of their live history in aquatic environments. Many of these species also have wide ranges and are quite abundant, which lends them to being excellent models for toxicology studies involving pesticides and other aquatic toxins. Another major area of interest within the last decade is the use of morphological data involving sperm development in nontraditional phylogenetic analysis. Spermatozoal and spermiogenic ultrastructural data seem to provide large enough data sets to provide some hypotheses on the phylogenetic relationships between vertebrate taxa (see for example, Jamieson). Thus, we dedicate this special issue to the morphology and ultrastructural features of spermatogenesis in several non-mammalian species of vertebrates. Our hope as authors is to stimulate the interest of reproductive morphologist in the process of spermatogenesis in basal vertebrate taxa. Many of the authors in this issue have dedicated most of their professional careers carving out our basic understanding of germ cell development in fishes, amphibians, reptiles, and birds. The authors and the Special Issue Editor would like to personally thank C. Yan Cheng, who allowed us to put this special issue together. We hope that the information provided here stimulates research interest in spermatogenesis in all the major vertebrate lineages and provides background data that ","PeriodicalId":22074,"journal":{"name":"Spermatogenesis","volume":"4 3","pages":"e1011565"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21688370.2015.1011565","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34039647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ES is conspicuously found between Sertoli cells near the basement membrane known as the basal ES, which together with tight junction (TJ), gap junction, and desmosome constitute the blood-testis barrier (BTB). The BTB, in turn, anatomically divides the seminiferous epithelium into the basal and the adluminal (apical) compartment. On the other hand, ES is also found at the Sertoli-spermatid interface known as apical ES which is the only anchoring device for developing step 8-19 spermatids during spermiogenesis. One of the most typical features of the ES is the array of actin microfilament bundles that lie perpendicular to the Sertoli cell plasma membrane and are sandwiched in-between the cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum and the Sertoli cell plasma membrane. While these actin filament bundles confer the adhesive strength of Sertoli cells at the BTB and also spermatids in the adluminal compartment, they must be rapidly re-organized from their bundled to unbundled/branched configuration and vice versa to provide plasticity to the ES so that preleptotene spermatocytes and spermatids can be transported across the immunological barrier and the adluminal compartment, respectively, during the epithelial cycle of spermatogenesis. Fascin is a family of actin microfilament cross-linking and bundling proteins that is known to confer bundling of parallel actin microfilaments in mammalian cells.

The testis type is restricted spermatogonial, wherein spermatogonia are restricted to the distal ends of lobules, typical of the Atherinomorpha, and spermatogenesis is continuous throughout the year in wild-caught fish. Within the testicular lobes there are lobular germinal compartments wherein the functional units are spermatocysts, whose borders are formed by Sertoli cells. Spermatocysts may contain meiotic primary spermatocytes, secondary spermatocytes, spermatids, undergoing spermiogenesis, or spermatozoa. Spermatocysts with later stages of developing sperm are located proximal to the testicular ducts. During spermiogenesis, spermatid nuclei become elongated. As this occurs, the nucleus develops a deep, central fossa that contains the centriolar complex. As the flagellum grows, enlarging spermatid mitochondria migrate posteriorly alongside the flagellum but remain separated from it by the cytoplasmatic canal, an indentation of the plasma membrane. Between the enlarged mitochondria and plasma membrane, a sub-mitochondrial net develops. In longitudinal sections, the enlarged mitochondria are stacked in a zig-zag fashion, and in transverse sections they appear as a ring surrounding the flagellum, but separated from it by the cytoplasmic canal.

The majority of the germ cell populations in May and June specimens are represented by resting spermatogonia, type A spermatogonia, type B spermatogonia, pre-leptotene spermatocytes, and numerous Sertoli cell nuclei near the basement membrane.

Major spermatogenic events occur in the June and July specimens and result in an increased height of the seminiferous epithelium and increased diameter of the seminiferous tubules. The germ cell population during this time is represented by spermatogonia (type A, B, and resting), hypertrophic cells, large populations of early primary spermatocytes, and early round spermatids.

Understanding the function of these kinases at the structural level and studying their interactions with inhibitors can help in understanding the machinery of spermatogenesis. In view of this, we have reviewed some of the prominent kinases that are known to play a role in spermatogenesis. A better understanding of the impacts of kinase inhibition on spermatogenesis should aid in the interpretation of lesions and hopefully further the development of more efficient and potent drug candidates.</p>","PeriodicalId":22074,"journal":{"name":"Spermatogenesis","volume":"4 2","pages":"e979113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4161/21565562.2014.979113","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34109257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
