Abstract An established human testis germ cell line (1411-H) was found to produce significant amounts of erythropoietin (Ep), the primary regulator of erythropoiesis. Media conditioned by the 1411-H cells stimulated erythropoiesis both in vivo and in vitro. This activity was neutralized by anti-Ep. This continuous cell line provides a unique model for the study of the mechanisms of control of Ep biogenesis.

Abstract Epidemiological, clinical, and experimental studies have suggested that excessive exposure to estrogens during fetal/neonatal life can lead to reproductive disorders and sperm abnormalities in adulthood. However, it is unknown whether endogenous concentrations of estrogens affect the establishment of the male fetal germ cell lineage. We addressed this question by studying the testicular development of mice in which the estrogen receptor (ER) β or the ERα gene was inactivated. The homozygous inactivation of ERβ (ERβ−/−) increased the number of gonocytes by 50% in 2- and 6-d-old neonates. The numbers of Sertoli and Leydig cells and the level of testicular testosterone production were unaffected, suggesting that estrogens act directly on the gonocytes. The increase in the number of gonocytes did not occur during fetal life but instead occurred just after birth, when gonocytes resumed mitosis and apoptosis. It seems to result from a decrease in the apoptosis rate evaluated by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling method and cleaved caspase-3 immunohistochemical detection. Last, mice heterozygous for the ERβ gene inactivation behaved similarly to their ERβ−/− littermates in terms of the number of gonocytes, apoptosis, and mitosis, suggesting that these cells are highly sensitive to the binding of estrogens to ERβ. ERα inactivation had no effect on the number of neonatal gonocytes and Sertoli cells. In conclusion, this study provides the first demonstration that endogenous estrogens can physiologically inhibit germ cell growth in the male. This finding may have important implications concerning the potential action of environmental estrogens.
