DescriptionStructure and signaling mechanisms of the putative mouse testicular GSC niche..jpg |
English: (A). Sertoli cells (green-specialized domain contacting and supporting GSCs), blood vessel and perhaps other cellular and non-cellular components including myoid cells and basal membrane function as a niche to maintain GSCs (red), allowing germ cells (pink) outside the influence of the niche to differentiate. (B). Sertoli cell-produced GDNF can activate Src and Akt signaling in GSCs, thereby maintaining their self-renewal, while integrins rich in GSCs may help anchor GSCs to the basal membrane. Erm expressed in Sertoli cells can help maintain GSCs by regulating the GDNF signaling pathway or an unknown signal pathway. |
