The results show that: (i) TR2 mRNA is specifically expressed in the germ cells, mainly in the spermatocytes, round and elongated spermatids. The expression level of TR2 mRNA varies with the seminiferous cycle. (ii) in the rat cryptorchid testes on days 3 and 5 after the surgery, the germ cells began to undergo apoptosis with no evident decrease in TR2 mRNA level. On day 7.5, however, most germ cells underwent apoptosis, while the expression level of TR2 mRNA declined markedly, and TR2 mRNA was rarely expressed on day 10 thereafter. (iii) On days 15 and 20 of the cryptorchid testes of rhesus monkey, TR2 mRNA was only expressed in a few of primary spermatocytes and the mRNA was almost undetectable on days 30, 45, 60.

It is demonstrated that TR2 mRNA was localized specifically in the germ cells, and was predominantly expressed in the meiotic more advanced cells. The expression level was various in different seminiferous tubules, and there was stronger expression in the tubules where spermatogenesis was vigorously going on. The expression level of TR2 mRNA was low in the immature rhesus monkey testis and increased dramatically in the adult and varied with a seminiferous cycle. These data suggest for the first time that orphan receptor TR2 may have an important function in regulating spermatogenesis at later stages of germ cell development in rhesus monkey.展开更多
