摘要:

非编码小RNA(sncRNA)主要通过抑制性调控靶基因发挥作用。近年的研究发现sncRNA在哺乳动物附睾的各个部位均有表达,并且在调控附睾不同节段的基因表达方面起着非常关键的作用。附睾上皮细胞中sncRNA的多样性及其表达水平的时空差异会影响很多潜在的靶基因,从而调节附睾的生理功能,另外,这些sncRNA还可以通过附睾小体传递给精子,对精子产生一系列的调控作用。综述了附睾中sncRNA表达、sncRNA对附睾和附睾中精子功能调节方面的研究进展,以期为探究sncRNA对雄性生殖细胞调控作用的分子机制提供参考。

Abstract:

Small non-coding RNA (sncRNA) functions primarily through inhibitory regulation of target genes. Recent research revealed that sncRNA is expressed in various parts of the mammalian epididymis and plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression in different segments of the epididymis. The diversity of sncRNA identified in epididymal epithelial cells and the spatiotemporal variations in sncRNA expression level may have an impact on many potential target genes, regulating the physiological functions of epididymis. In addition, these sncRNA can also be transmitted to sperm through epididymosomes, producing a series of regulatory effects on sperm. This paper reviews the research progress of the expression of sncRNA in epididymis as well as the regulation of sncRNA on epididymis function and sperm function in epididymis, in hoping to provide references for exploring the molecular mechanism of the regulatory effect of sncRNA on male germ cells.
