英文摘要	Spermatogenesis is a continual process that relies on the activities of undifferentiated spermatogonia, which contain spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) that serve as the basis of spermatogenesis. The gene expression pattern and molecular control of fate decisions of undifferentiated spermatogonia are not well understood. Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 15 (ARHGEF15, also known as EPHEXIN5) is a guanine nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF) that activates the Rho protein. Here, we reported that ARHGEF15 was expressed in undifferentiated spermatogonia and spermatocytes in mouse testes; however, its deletion did not affect spermatogenesis. Arh- gef15-/-mice were fertile, and histological examination of the seminiferous tubules of Arhgef15-/-mice revealed complete spermatogenesis with the presence of all types of spermatogenic cells. Proliferation and differentiation of the undifferentiated spermatogonia were not impacted; however, further analysis showed that Arhgef15 deletion resulted in decreased expression of Nanos2, Lin28a and Ddx4. Together, these findings suggest that ARHGEF15 was specifically enriched in undifferentiated spermatogonia and regulated gene expression but dispensable for spermatogenesis in mice.
