摘要

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a cytokine that promotes cell proliferation, regulates tissue differentiation, and modulates organogenesis. Although a rich source of EGF is the submaxillary gland, many tissues produce this cytokine, including the testis. Leydig cells are the principal source of EGF in the testis. On attainment of sexual maturation the germ cells, primarily spermatocytes and round spermatids, form EGF with the onset of spermatogenesis. EGF appears to be involved in the development of the testis and in spermatogenesis. The expression of the EGF gene in rat testis was determined by the application of the RT-PCR method and testis RNA as substrate. The results suggest that EGF produced by Leydig cells and germ cells may modulate spermatogenesis as an autocrine and/or paracrine factor.
