摘要

Repro23 is an ENU-induced mutation of mouse produced by the reproductive genomics program at The Jackson Laboratory. The repro23/repro23 homozygous mice showed male specific infertility with remarkably low testis weight and azospermia caused by arrest of spermatogenesis. The repro23 locus has been mapped on mouse chromosome 7. In the present study, histological analysis and TUNEL assay of the affected testis demonstrated that spermatogenesis was interrupted at earlier than pachytene stage of meiotic prophase I. The expression analysis of marker genes expressed in particular stages of spermatogenesis by semi-quantitative RT-PCR indicated that the genes expressed in the later stages of spermatogenesis was not detected in the affected testis. Furthermore, expression of the genes involved in DNA double-strand break repair and mismatch repair is significantly reduced in the affected testis. Since the DNA double-strand break repair and mismatch repair are essential for progression of homologous recombination, the arrest of spermatogenesis in the repro23/repro23 mouse was suggested to be caused by defect of homologous recombination during meiotic prophase I. By linkage analysis using F_2 mice obtained from mating between repro23 and JF1/Ms mice, the repro23 locus was mapped on a 2 Mb-region of mouse chromosome 7. Since this region contained no known gene associated with meiosis, the gene for the repro23 mutation will be a novel gene essential for progression of meiosis.
